COMPUTER PROGRAM, referred to in this LICENSE as PROGRAM.

2.TERMS USED IN THIS LICENSE

2.1.The term “computer program” is defined in article of Law number
9.609/98 as “the expression of an organized group of instructions in
codified or natural language, contained in physical support of any
nature, of necessary use in automatic machines of information
treatment, devices, instruments or peripheral equipment, based on
digital or analogue technology, in order to make them function in a
particular way for a particular purpose".

2.2.The PROGRAM licensing includes the following distribution forms:

2.2.1.Compiled: term which represents any distribution prepared to be
understood by the machines on which the execution of the PROGRAM is
meant to occur;

2.2.2.The source-code: term which represents the appropriate way to
make alterations in the PROGRAM. The source-code distributed must
include all the source-codes from all the modules contained in and
necessary to the normal functioning of the PROGRAM, in addition to the
routines used for controlling its compilation and installation. It is
not necessary to include in the source-code anything that is already
normally distributed, whether in the form of source-code or compiled,
such as the components of the operational system in which the PROGRAM
will be executed.

2.3.It is the principle of this LICENSE to make public the necessary
knowledge for the preparation and comprehension of the working
mechanisms of the PROGRAM, so that all DISTRIBUTION is accompanied by
the most appropriate form for its study and alteration.

2.4.The term LICENSE or GPL-PA will be used hereafter to designate
this licensing term. The concepts here expressed are those of the
applicable legislation, notably of Law 9.61098.

3.OBJECT: LICENSING FOR USE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, REPRODUCTION
AND ALTERATION OF COMPUTER PROGRAM.

preclude charges for other services or costs, such as for example
DEVELOPING, APROPRIATING, IMPLANTING or costs associated with the
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM.

3.3.THE LICENSOR may not, after the PUBLICATION or DISTRIBUTION of the
PROGRAM, object with regard to any of the rights which are the object
