+ GNU X-CHESS GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+
+ Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
+mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
+intended to give everyone the right to share GNU X-Chess. To make
+sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make
+restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
+to surrender the rights. Hence this license agreement.
+
+ Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
+away copies of GNU X-Chess, that you receive source code or else can get it
+if you want it, that you can change GNU X-Chess or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
+deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
+copies of GNU X-Chess, 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 tell them their rights.
+
+ Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
+finds out that there is no warranty for GNU X-Chess. If GNU X-Chess is
+modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know
+that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems
+introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.
+
+ Therefore the Free Software Foundation, Inc. makes the following
+terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change
+GNU X-Chess.
+
+ COPYING POLICIES
+
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU X-Chess source
+code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
+and appropriately publish on each file a valid copyright notice
+"Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc.", containing the
+year of last change for the file in question; keep intact the notices
+on all files that refer to this License Agreement and to the absence
+of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the GNU X-Chess
+program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program.
+
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU X-Chess source code or
+any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under
+the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
+
+ a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
+ who last changed such files and the date of any change; and
+
+ b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
+ that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU X-Chess
+ or any part thereof, to be freely distributed
+ and licensed to all third parties on terms identical to those
+ contained in this License Agreement (except that you may choose
+ to grant more extensive warranty protection to third parties,
+ at your option).
+
+ c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it
+ when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
+ an announcement including a valid copyright notice ("Copyright
+ (C)", the year of authorship, and all copyright owners' names),
+ saying 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 Agreement.
+
+ 3. You may copy and distribute GNU X-Chess or any portion of it in
+compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
+1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
+
+ a) cause each such copy of GNU X-Chess to be accompanied by the
+ corresponding machine-readable source code; or
+
+ b) cause each such copy of GNU X-Chess to be accompanied by a
+ written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
+ free (except for a nominal shipping charge) machine readable
+ copy of the corresponding source code; or
+
+ c) in the case of a recipient of GNU X-Chess in compiled, executable
+ or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
+ shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
+ of the written offer of source code which you received along
+ with the copy of GNU X-Chess.
+
+ 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU X-Chess
+except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU X-Chess is void and
+your rights to use GNU X-Chess under this License agreement shall be
+automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
+software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
+their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
+software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
+1000 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138, or call (617) 876-3296.
+
+ NO WARRANTY
+
+ BECAUSE GNU X-CHESS IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY
+NO WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
+WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
+AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU X-CHESS "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 GNU X-CHESS PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
+YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL FREE SOFTWARE
+FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND
+REDISTRIBUTE GNU X-CHESS AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
+DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL,
+INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
+INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
+BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
+FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH PROGRAMS NOT DISTRIBUTED BY
+FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC.) THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN
+ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY
+OTHER PARTY.
