Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

    51 Franklin St, Suite 500, Boston, MA  02110-1335  USA
   
    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
   
                               Preamble
   
     The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
   at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
   License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
   software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
   General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
   software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
   You can use it for your programs, too.
   
     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
   price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
   sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
   software, 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 a 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 tell them their rights.
   
     We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
   (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
   distribute and/or modify the software.
   
     Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
   that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
   software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
   want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
   that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
   authors' reputations. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
   modification follow.
   
                       GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
      TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
   
     0. This License Agreement 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 work containing the
   Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
   licensee is addressed as "you".
   
     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
   General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
   other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
   along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
   transferring a copy.
   
     2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program 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 that
       you changed the 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 the Program or any part thereof, either
       with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
       third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
       that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
       third parties, at your option).
   
       c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
       run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
       in the simplest and most usual 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 General
       Public License.
   
       d) 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.
   
   Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
   derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
   the other work under the scope of these terms.
   
     3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
   it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
   Paragraphs 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
       Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
   
       b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
       years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
       for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
       corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
       Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
   
       c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
       corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
       allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
       received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
   
   Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
   modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
   all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
   exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
   libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
   file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
   accompany that operating system.
   
     4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
   Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
   Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
   the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
   the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
   copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
   License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
   remain in full compliance.
   
     5. By copying, distributing or modifying 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.
   
     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.
   
     7. 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 the 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
   the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
   Foundation.
   
     8. 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
   
     9. 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.
   
     10. 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
   
           Appendix: 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 humanity, 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) 19yy  <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 1, 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) 19xx 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 a sample; alter the names:
   
     Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
     program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
     at assemblers) written by James Hacker.

     The Artistic License 1.0
   
   The Artistic License
   
   Preamble
   
   The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
   may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
   artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of
   the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
   customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
   
   Definitions:
   
     - "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
       Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
       textual modification. 
     - "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
       or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
       Holder. 
     - "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
       the package. 
     - "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
     - "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
       cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
       not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
       computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.) 
     - "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
       there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
       recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
       received it. 
   
   1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
   Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
   duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
   
   2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
   from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such
   a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
   
   3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that
   you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you
   changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
   
     a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
        Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
        equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
        such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
        modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
   
     b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
   
     c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
        standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
        manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
        differs from the Standard Version.
   
     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
   
   4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
   form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
   
     a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
        together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to
        get the Standard Version.
   
     b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
        with your modifications.
   
     c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
        Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard
        names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or
        equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the Standard
        Version.
   
     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
   
   5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
   Package.  You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You
   may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this
   Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a
   larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not
   advertise this Package as a product of your own.
   
   6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
   from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
   of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold
   commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
   
   7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not
   be considered part of this Package.
   
   8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
   products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
   
   9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
   WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
   MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
   
   The End
