+# Contributing to Zstandard
+We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as
+possible.
+
+## Our Development Process
+New versions are being developed in the "dev" branch,
+or in their own feature branch.
+When they are deemed ready for a release, they are merged into "master".
+
+As a consequences, all contributions must stage first through "dev"
+or their own feature branch.
+
+## Pull Requests
+We actively welcome your pull requests.
+
+1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `dev`.
+2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
+3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
+4. Ensure the test suite passes.
+5. Make sure your code lints.
+6. If you haven't already, complete the Contributor License Agreement ("CLA").
+
+## Contributor License Agreement ("CLA")
+In order to accept your pull request, we need you to submit a CLA. You only need
+to do this once to work on any of Facebook's open source projects.
+
+Complete your CLA here: <https://code.facebook.com/cla>
+
+## Workflow
+Zstd uses a branch-based workflow for making changes to the codebase. Typically, zstd
+will use a new branch per sizable topic. For smaller changes, it is okay to lump multiple
+related changes into a branch.
+
+Our contribution process works in three main stages:
+1. Local development
+    * Update:
+        * Checkout your fork of zstd if you have not already
+        ```
+        git checkout https://github.com/<username>/zstd
+        cd zstd
+        ```
+        * Update your local dev branch
+        ```
+        git pull https://github.com/facebook/zstd dev
+        git push origin dev
+        ```
+    * Topic and development:
+        * Make a new branch on your fork about the topic you're developing for
+        ```
+        # branch names should be consise but sufficiently informative
+        git checkout -b <branch-name>
+        git push origin <branch-name>
+        ```
+        * Make commits and push
+        ```
+        # make some changes =
+        git add -u && git commit -m <message>
+        git push origin <branch-name>
+        ```
+        * Note: run local tests to ensure that your changes didn't break existing functionality
+            * Quick check
+            ```
+            make shortest
+            ```
+            * Longer check
+            ```
+            make test
+            ```
+2. Code Review and CI tests
+    * Ensure CI tests pass:
+        * Before sharing anything to the community, make sure that all CI tests pass on your local fork.
+        See our section on setting up your CI environment for more information on how to do this.
+        * Ensure that static analysis passes on your development machine. See the Static Analysis section
+        below to see how to do this.
+    * Create a pull request:
+        * When you are ready to share you changes to the community, create a pull request from your branch
+        to facebook:dev. You can do this very easily by clicking 'Create Pull Request' on your fork's home
+        page.
+        * From there, select the branch where you made changes as your source branch and facebook:dev
+        as the destination.
+        * Examine the diff presented between the two branches to make sure there is nothing unexpected.
+    * Write a good pull request description:
+        * While there is no strict template that our contributors follow, we would like them to
+        sufficiently summarize and motivate the changes they are proposing. We recommend all pull requests,
+        at least indirectly, address the following points.
+            * Is this pull request important and why?
+            * Is it addressing an issue? If so, what issue? (provide links for convenience please)
+            * Is this a new feature? If so, why is it useful and/or necessary?
+            * Are there background references and documents that reviewers should be aware of to properly assess this change?
+        * Note: make sure to point out any design and architectural decisions that you made and the rationale behind them.
+        * Note: if you have been working with a specific user and would like them to review your work, make sure you mention them using (@<username>)
+    * Submit the pull request and iterate with feedback.
+3. Merge and Release
+    * Getting approval:
+        * You will have to iterate on your changes with feedback from other collaborators to reach a point
+        where your pull request can be safely merged.
+        * To avoid too many comments on style and convention, make sure that you have a
+        look at our style section below before creating a pull request.
+        * Eventually, someone from the zstd team will approve your pull request and not long after merge it into
+        the dev branch.
+    * Housekeeping:
+        * Most PRs are linked with one or more Github issues. If this is the case for your PR, make sure
+        the corresponding issue is mentioned. If your change 'fixes' or completely addresses the
+        issue at hand, then please indicate this by requesting that an issue be closed by commenting.
+        * Just because your changes have been merged does not mean the topic or larger issue is complete. Remember
+        that the change must make it to an official zstd release for it to be meaningful. We recommend
+        that contributers track the activity on their pull request and corresponding issue(s) page(s) until
+        their change makes it to the next release of zstd. Users will often discover bugs in your code or
+        suggest ways to refine and improve your initial changes even after the pull request is merged.
+
+## Static Analysis
+Static analysis is a process for examining the correctness or validity of a program without actually
+executing it. It usually helps us find many simple bugs. Zstd uses clang's `scan-build` tool for
+static analysis. You can install it by following the instructions for your OS on https://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/scan-build.
+
+Once installed, you can ensure that our static analysis tests pass on your local development machine
+by running:
+```
+make staticAnalyze
+```
+
+In general, you can use `scan-build` to static analyze any build script. For example, to static analyze
+just `contrib/largeNbDicts` and nothing else, you can run:
+
+```
+scan-build make -C contrib/largeNbDicts largeNbDicts
+```
+
+## Performance
+Performance is extremely important for zstd and we only merge pull requests whose performance
+landscape and corresponding trade-offs have been adequately analyzed, reproduced, and presented.
+This high bar for performance means that every PR which has the potential to
+impact performance takes a very long time for us to properly review. That being said, we
+always welcome contributions to improve performance (or worsen performance for the trade-off of
+something else). Please keep the following in mind before submitting a performance related PR:
+
+1. Zstd isn't as old as gzip but it has been around for time now and its evolution is
+very well documented via past Github issues and pull requests. It may be the case that your
+particular performance optimization has already been considered in the past. Please take some
+time to search through old issues and pull requests using keywords specific to your
+would-be PR. Of course, just because a topic has already been discussed (and perhaps rejected
+on some grounds) in the past, doesn't mean it isn't worth bringing up again. But even in that case,
+it will be helpful for you to have context from that topic's history before contributing.
+2. The distinction between noise and actual performance gains can unfortunately be very subtle
+especially when microbenchmarking extremely small wins or losses. The only remedy to getting
+something subtle merged is extensive benchmarking. You will be doing us a great favor if you
+take the time to run extensive, long-duration, and potentially cross-(os, platform, process, etc)
+benchmarks on your end before submitting a PR. Of course, you will not be able to benchmark
+your changes on every single processor and os out there (and neither will we) but do that best
+you can:) We've adding some things to think about when benchmarking below in the Benchmarking
+Performance section which might be helpful for you.
+3. Optimizing performance for a certain OS, processor vendor, compiler, or network system is a perfectly
+legitimate thing to do as long as it does not harm the overall performance health of Zstd.
+This is a hard balance to strike but please keep in mind other aspects of Zstd when
+submitting changes that are clang-specific, windows-specific, etc.
+
+## Benchmarking Performance
+Performance microbenchmarking is a tricky subject but also essential for Zstd. We value empirical
+testing over theoretical speculation. This guide it not perfect but for most scenarios, it
+is a good place to start.
+
+### Stability
+Unfortunately, the most important aspect in being able to benchmark reliably is to have a stable
+benchmarking machine. A virtual machine, a machine with shared resources, or your laptop
+will typically not be stable enough to obtain reliable benchmark results. If you can get your
+hands on a desktop, this is usually a better scenario.
+
+Of course, benchmarking can be done on non-hyper-stable machines as well. You will just have to
+do a little more work to ensure that you are in fact measuring the changes you've made not and
+noise. Here are some things you can do to make your benchmarks more stable:
+
+1. The most simple thing you can do to drastically improve the stability of your benchmark is
+to run it multiple times and then aggregate the results of those runs. As a general rule of
+thumb, the smaller the change you are trying to measure, the more samples of benchmark runs
+you will have to aggregate over to get reliable results. Here are some additional things to keep in
+mind when running multiple trials:
+    * How you aggregate your samples are important. You might be tempted to use the mean of your
+    results. While this is certainly going to be a more stable number than a raw single sample
+    benchmark number, you might have more luck by taking the median. The mean is not robust to
+    outliers whereas the median is. Better still, you could simply take the fastest speed your
+    benchmark achieved on each run since that is likely the fastest your process will be
+    capable of running your code. In our experience, this (aggregating by just taking the sample
+    with the fastest running time) has been the most stable approach.
+    * The more samples you have, the more stable your benchmarks should be. You can verify
+    your improved stability by looking at the size of your confidence intervals as you
+    increase your sample count. These should get smaller and smaller. Eventually hopefully
+    smaller than the performance win you are expecting.
+    * Most processors will take some time to get `hot` when running anything. The observations
+    you collect during that time period will very different from the true performance number. Having
+    a very large number of sample will help alleviate this problem slightly but you can also
+    address is directly by simply not including the first `n` iterations of your benchmark in
+    your aggregations. You can determine `n` by simply looking at the results from each iteration
+    and then hand picking a good threshold after which the variance in results seems to stabilize.
+2. You cannot really get reliable benchmarks if your host machine is simultaneously running
+another cpu/memory-intensive application in the background. If you are running benchmarks on your
+personal laptop for instance, you should close all applications (including your code editor and
+browser) before running your benchmarks. You might also have invisible background applications
+running. You can see what these are by looking at either Activity Monitor on Mac or Task Manager
+on Windows. You will get more stable benchmark results of you end those processes as well.
+    * If you have multiple cores, you can even run your benchmark on a reserved core to prevent
+    pollution from other OS and user processes. There are a number of ways to do this depending
+    on your OS:
+        * On linux boxes, you have use https://github.com/lpechacek/cpuset.
+        * On Windows, you can "Set Processor Affinity" using https://www.thewindowsclub.com/processor-affinity-windows
+        * On Mac, you can try to use their dedicated affinity API https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/Performance/RN-AffinityAPI/#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006635-CH1-DontLinkElementID_2
+3. To benchmark, you will likely end up writing a separate c/c++ program that will link libzstd.
+Dynamically linking your library will introduce some added variation (not a large amount but
+definitely some). Statically linking libzstd will be more stable. Static libraries should
+be enabled by default when building zstd.
+4. Use a profiler with a good high resolution timer. See the section below on profiling for
+details on this.
+5. Disable frequency scaling, turbo boost and address space randomization (this will vary by OS)
+6. Try to avoid storage. On some systems you can use tmpfs. Putting the program, inputs and outputs on
+tmpfs avoids touching a real storage system, which can have a pretty big variability.
+
+Also check our LLVM's guide on benchmarking here: https://llvm.org/docs/Benchmarking.html
+
+### Zstd benchmark
+The fastest signal you can get regarding your performance changes is via the in-build zstd cli
+bench option. You can run Zstd as you typically would for your scenario using some set of options
+and then additionally also specify the `-b#` option. Doing this will run our benchmarking pipeline
+for that options you have just provided. If you want to look at the internals of how this
+benchmarking script works, you can check out programs/benchzstd.c
+
+For example: say you have made a change that you believe improves the speed of zstd level 1. The
+very first thing you should use to asses whether you actually achieved any sort of improvement
+is `zstd -b`. You might try to do something like this. Note: you can use the `-i` option to
+specify a running time for your benchmark in seconds (default is 3 seconds).
+Usually, the longer the running time, the more stable your results will be.
+
+```
+$ git checkout <commit-before-your-change>
+$ make && cp zstd zstd-old
+$ git checkout <commit-after-your-change>
+$ make && cp zstd zstd-new
+$ zstd-old -i5 -b1 <your-test-data>
+ 1<your-test-data>         :      8990 ->      3992 (2.252), 302.6 MB/s , 626.4 MB/s
+$ zstd-new -i5 -b1 <your-test-data>
+ 1<your-test-data>         :      8990 ->      3992 (2.252), 302.8 MB/s , 628.4 MB/s
+```
+
+Unless your performance win is large enough to be visible despite the intrinsic noise
+on your computer, benchzstd alone will likely not be enough to validate the impact of your
+changes. For example, the results of the example above indicate that effectively nothing
+changed but there could be a small <3% improvement that the noise on the host machine
+obscured. So unless you see a large performance win (10-15% consistently) using just
+this method of evaluation will not be sufficient.
+
+### Profiling
+There are a number of great profilers out there. We're going to briefly mention how you can
+profile your code using `instruments` on mac, `perf` on linux and `visual studio profiler`
+on windows.
+
+Say you have an idea for a change that you think will provide some good performance gains
+for level 1 compression on Zstd. Typically this means, you have identified a section of
+code that you think can be made to run faster.
+
+The first thing you will want to do is make sure that the piece of code is actually taking up
+a notable amount of time to run. It is usually not worth optimzing something which accounts for less than
+0.0001% of the total running time. Luckily, there are tools to help with this.
+Profilers will let you see how much time your code spends inside a particular function.
+If your target code snippit is only part of a function, it might be worth trying to
+isolate that snippit by moving it to its own function (this is usually not necessary but
+might be).
+
+Most profilers (including the profilers dicusssed below) will generate a call graph of
+functions for you. Your goal will be to find your function of interest in this call grapch
+and then inspect the time spent inside of it. You might also want to to look at the
+annotated assembly which most profilers will provide you with.
+
+#### Instruments
+We will once again consider the scenario where you think you've identified a piece of code
+whose performance can be improved upon. Follow these steps to profile your code using
+Instruments.
+
+1. Open Instruments
+2. Select `Time Profiler` from the list of standard templates
+3. Close all other applications except for your instruments window and your terminal
+4. Run your benchmarking script from your terminal window
+    * You will want a benchmark that runs for at least a few seconds (5 seconds will
+    usually be long enough). This way the profiler will have something to work with
+    and you will have ample time to attach your profiler to this process:)
+    * I will just use benchzstd as my bencharmking script for this example:
+```
+$ zstd -b1 -i5 <my-data> # this will run for 5 seconds
+```
+5. Once you run your benchmarking script, switch back over to instruments and attach your
+process to the time profiler. You can do this by:
+    * Clicking on the `All Processes` drop down in the top left of the toolbar.
+    * Selecting your process from the dropdown. In my case, it is just going to be labled
+    `zstd`
+    * Hitting the bright red record circle button on the top left of the toolbar
+6. You profiler will now start collecting metrics from your bencharking script. Once
+you think you have collected enough samples (usually this is the case after 3 seconds of
+recording), stop your profiler.
+7. Make sure that in toolbar of the bottom window, `profile` is selected.
+8. You should be able to see your call graph.
+    * If you don't see the call graph or an incomplete call graph, make sure you have compiled
+    zstd and your benchmarking scripg using debug flags. On mac and linux, this just means
+    you will have to supply the `-g` flag alone with your build script. You might also
+    have to provide the `-fno-omit-frame-pointer` flag
+9. Dig down the graph to find your function call and then inspect it by double clicking
+the list item. You will be able to see the annotated source code and the assembly side by
+side.
+
+#### Perf
+
+This wiki has a pretty detailed tutorial on getting started working with perf so we'll
+leave you to check that out of you're getting started:
+
+https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Tutorial
+
+Some general notes on perf:
+* Use `perf stat -r # <bench-program>` to quickly get some relevant timing and
+counter statistics. Perf uses a high resolution timer and this is likely one
+of the first things your team will run when assessing your PR.
+* Perf has a long list of hardware counters that can be viewed with `perf --list`.
+When measuring optimizations, something worth trying is to make sure the handware
+counters you expect to be impacted by your change are in fact being so. For example,
+if you expect the L1 cache misses to decrease with your change, you can look at the
+counter `L1-dcache-load-misses`
+* Perf hardware counters will not work on a virtual machine.
+
+#### Visual Studio

+
+## Setting up continuous integration (CI) on your fork
+Zstd uses a number of different continuous integration (CI) tools to ensure that new changes
+are well tested before they make it to an official release. Specifically, we use the platforms
+travis-ci, circle-ci, and appveyor.
+
+Changes cannot be merged into the main dev branch unless they pass all of our CI tests.
+The easiest way to run these CI tests on your own before submitting a PR to our dev branch
+is to configure your personal fork of zstd with each of the CI platforms. Below, you'll find
+instructions for doing this.
+
+### travis-ci
+Follow these steps to link travis-ci with your github fork of zstd
+
+1. Make sure you are logged into your github account
+2. Go to https://travis-ci.org/
+3. Click 'Sign in with Github' on the top right
+4. Click 'Authorize travis-ci'
+5. Click 'Activate all repositories using Github Apps'
+6. Select 'Only select repositories' and select your fork of zstd from the drop down
+7. Click 'Approve and Install'
+8. Click 'Sign in with Github' again. This time, it will be for travis-pro (which will let you view your tests on the web dashboard)
+9. Click 'Authorize travis-pro'
+10. You should have travis set up on your fork now.
+
+### circle-ci
+TODO
+
+### appveyor
+Follow these steps to link circle-ci with your girhub fork of zstd
+
+1. Make sure you are logged into your github account
+2. Go to https://www.appveyor.com/
+3. Click 'Sign in' on the top right
+4. Select 'Github' on the left panel
+5. Click 'Authorize appveyor'
+6. You might be asked to select which repositories you want to give appveyor permission to. Select your fork of zstd if you're prompted
+7. You should have appveyor set up on your fork now.
+
+### General notes on CI
+CI tests run every time a pull request (PR) is created or updated. The exact tests
+that get run will depend on the destination branch you specify. Some tests take
+longer to run than others. Currently, our CI is set up to run a short
+series of tests when creating a PR to the dev branch and a longer series of tests
+when creating a PR to the master branch. You can look in the configuration files
+of the respective CI platform for more information on what gets run when.
+
+Most people will just want to create a PR with the destination set to their local dev
+branch of zstd. You can then find the status of the tests on the PR's page. You can also
+re-run tests and cancel running tests from the PR page or from the respective CI's dashboard.
+
+## Issues
+We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Please ensure your description is
+clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue.
+
+Facebook has a [bounty program](https://www.facebook.com/whitehat/) for the safe
+disclosure of security bugs. In those cases, please go through the process
+outlined on that page and do not file a public issue.

+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their

+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the

+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program 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 licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code 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 License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+

+    parties under the terms of this License.

+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify 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 License.
+
+  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 License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+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; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  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 License
+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 License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License 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 published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+                            NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED 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.
+
+  12. 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.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
+    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
+    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.
