This licence is derived from the GNU GPL (General Public License), minus
the obligation to provide source code, the right to modify the Program,
and with a prohibition on obtaining patent rights for derived products -
see clauses 2 and 3.

In common with the GPL, the Grey Binary Licence permits you to use and copy
this software free of charge.

The principle of mapping the terms of the GPL to binary distributions is
inspired by the 'Free-Binary License'.

Beware that the precise legal definition of this licence consists entirely
of the TERMS AND CONDITIONS listed below.
This preamble merely provides a commentary that is intended to be helpful
in outlining the intention of this licence.


TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USAGE, COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This Licence applies to any program, files or other work with which it
   is distributed, or whose packaging contains a notice by the copyright
   holder, stating that it is distributed under the terms of this Licence.

   The "Program", below, refers to any such program, files or work, and
   a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
   work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program
   or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
   translated into another language (hereinafter, translation is included
   without limitation in the term "modification").

   Each licencee is addressed as "you", and the "Author" below refers to the
   creator of the Program.
   "Using" the Program refers to the act of running all or portions of the
   Program or any works based on the Program or its parts.

   Activities other than using, running, copying, distribution and
   modification are not covered by this Licence; they are outside its
   scope.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program as you
   receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
   appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
   and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer
   to this Licence and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
   other recipients of the Program a copy of this Licence along with
   the Program.

   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, not
   exceeding the cost to you of physically performing the distribution.

   You may at your option also offer warranty protection, in exchange for
   a fee. In such a case, warranty protection is of course exclusively
   assumed by you, as this Licence explicitly does not provide any - see
   clauses 10 & 11.

   Note that mere aggregation of another work with the Program on the same
   volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not bring the other work
   under the scope of this Licence.

2. You may not modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
   it. You may not make attempts to reverse engineer the Program.

   If the Program is distributed as a container file (be this any archive
   or packaging format), this means you may not repackage or otherwise
   alter this distribution format either, and is not merely a restriction
   on modifying its constituent files.

3. You may form a new work based upon the Program, termed a "Client
   Application", which is defined as a distinct program that makes use
   of the Program's interfaces and outputs, or otherwise depends on the
   Program in order to partially or wholly install or execute.
   This includes, but is not limited to, linking against any binary
   libraries or other shared-code modules provided by the Program.

   With regard to the copyright definitions in clause 0, the Client
   Application is not considered to be a part of the Program, or to
   contain or subsume the Program. The Client Application is separate
   but dependent.

   The Client Application is subject to the following conditions:
   a) No patents may be obtained for any such derivative work, or any
      work which makes use of the Program.
   b) The Program must not be modified in any way, including repackaging
      it to incorporate the Client Application. The Program must remain
      an independent unit of distribution and installation.
      This is effectively a restatement of clause 2, stressing that it
      applies equally to all licencees, including developers of Client
      Applications.
   c) The Client Application must clearly state its dependency on the
      Program (eg. on its packaging, or statement of requirements).
   d) On a practical level, the Client Application may be distributed
      in parallel with the Program, possibly on the same media (see
      clause 1), and its installation and runtime procedures may even
      shield the existence of the Program from casual users.
      However, this is merely a logistical aesthetic, which does not take
      away from the fact that the Program remains a distinct entity as
      stated above, and its usage remains exclusively subject to this
      Licence. For its part, the Client Application is not covered by
      this Licence.

   Subject to these restrictions, you may distribute the Client Application
   under any terms or licencing you wish, without further reference to
   the Author.
   This includes commercial distribution of the Client Application, for
   a fee.

4. You may not use, copy, modify, sublicence, or distribute the Program
   except as expressly provided under this Licence.

   Any attempt otherwise to use, copy, modify, sublicence or distribute
   the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
   this Licence. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from
   you under this Licence will not have their licences terminated so long
   as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this Licence, since you have not signed
   it. However, nothing else grants you permission to use, modify or
   distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
   prohibited by law if you do not accept this Licence.

   Therefore, by running, using, copying or distributing the Program, or
   running any work based on the Program, you indicate your acceptance of
   this Licence, and all its terms and conditions for running, using,
   copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

   If you disagree with the terms of this Licence you should not run, use,
   copy, modify or distribute the Program and you should remove all physical
   copies of the Program in your possession.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program, the recipient automatically
   receives a licence from the original licencer to use, copy or distribute
   the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
   You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise
   of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
   compliance by third parties to this Licence.

7. If as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
   infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
   conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this Licence, they do
   not excuse you from the conditions of this Licence.

   If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
   under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
   intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
   in other circumstances.

   It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
   patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
   any such claims; it's goal is to make it clear that it is up to the
   Author to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through
   any other system and a licencee cannot impose that choice.

   This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
   to be a consequence of the rest of this Licence.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
   countries, either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
   copyright holder who places the Program under this Licence may add an
   explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
   so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
   excluded. In such case, this Licence incorporates the limitation as if
   written in the body of this Licence.

9. The Author of the Program may publish revised and/or new versions of
   the Grey Binary Licence from time to time. Each version is given a
   distinguishing version number.
   If the Program specifies a version number of this Licence which applies
   to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the
   terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version.
   If the Program does not specify a version number of this Licence, you
   may choose any version ever published by the Author.

   If a Licence file is included in the Program distribution, then the
   Program implicitly specifies that file's Licence version.

NO WARRANTY

10. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENCED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
    WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
    LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
    AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
    OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
    LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
    FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
    PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
    DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
    OR CORRECTION.

11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
    WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
    MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
    LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
    INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
    INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
    DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
    OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
    OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
    ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
