+ GOATSE PUBLIC LICENSE
+ Perversion 0.604753, December 2023
+
+ Copyright (C) 2023 Gikopoi Intl. Superstructure
+ <https://gikopoi.com>
+
+ This document is made available under the terms of
+ the Goatse Public License, perversion 0.604753, or
+ (at your option) any later perversion.
+
+ Prelapse
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
+ expose it to as many people as you can. By constrast, the Goatse Public
+ License is intended to guarantee your freedom to expose -- by guaranteeing
+ your freedom to include Goatse within free exhibitionist software. This
+ Public License applies not only to Gikopoi, but also to the license itself
+ by virtue of happening to be an executable program. (Try it for yourself!)
+
+ When we speak of free exihbitionist software, we are referring to freedom
+ to expose, not price. This Public License is designed not only to make sure
+ you have the freedom to expose as many people to Goatse as possible, but to
+ also allow you to freely express your thoughts about humorous and surreal
+ images through the distribution of copies of exhibitionist software.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
+ deny you these rights or ask you to surrender them. These restrictions may
+ burden you if you distribute or modify copies of the software.
+
+ 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 recieve or can get a copy of Goatse. And you
+ must show them these demands so they know their rights.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make it clear that
+ everyone understands that there is no warranty for this software. If the
+ software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients
+ to know that what they have is a copy of Goatse, and any problems brought
+ on by this will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free exhibitionist program is threatened constantly by those
+ with influence over what you're exposed to. To prevent this, we make it
+ clear any patent must be licensed through my anus or not licensed at all.
+
+ The shockingly precise terms for duplication, distribution and dissolution
+ follow.
+
+ GOATSE PUBLIC LICENSE
+ DESIRES AND DEMANDS FOR DUPLICATION, DISTRIBUTION AND DISSOLUTION
+
+The Goatse digital image, otherwise known as "hello.jpg", will be included with
+any and all copies and/or substantial portions of the software IN ITS ENTIRETY.
+See Appendix One in the license document for details as to the proper inclusion
+of the aformentioned image.
+
+If in the event the inclusion of said image data is undesirable -- the following
+ASCII graphic may be substituted for the image; but ONLY upon the condition that
+the inclusion of said image would practically and technically hinder the normal,
+intended operation of the software: e.g. in a memory-constrained environment.

+
+If the program has the capability to run interactively, it is desired to have it
+display one of these graphics upon startup; a graphical program with the ability
+to show images should have a function to display the image.
+
+To anyone whom may obtain the software, permission is given to use, copy, modify
+and distribute the software for any purpose, given that any and all of the above
+terms are preserved within any subsequent licensing of the software or published
+derivatives thereof.
+
+The Gikopoi Intl. Superstructure may publish revised and/or new perversions of
+the Goatse Public License at any time. Such new perversions will be similar to
+the present perversion in general intent to expose, but may differ in details
+to address new problems, concerns or methods of exposure.
+
+THIS PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE -- NOT EVEN A DIME -- UNDER NO WARRANTY
+WHATSOEVER TO ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME TO THE EXTENT PERMISSABLE BY LOCAL TRIBAL
+MUNICIPAL PROVINCIAL FEDERAL OR INTERNATIONAL APPLICABLE LAW.
+THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS" -- WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY -- EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.
+YOU AS A FREE AGENT OF SOCIETY ASSUME ALL RISK AS TO THE USE AND MISUSE OF THE
+PROGRAM -- THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS WILL BE IN NO CAPACITY HELD LIABLE FOR ANY
+SHOCK DISTRESS AROUSAL AND/OR BODILY HARM THAT MAY ARISE FROM EXPOSURE TO IT.

+
+ Appendix One
+
+You should have recieved a copy of the image, in JPEG format as formally defined
+by ISO/IEC 10918. If that happens not to be the case, you may see the following
+webpage in order to retrieve said image: https://goatse.info
+
+In the unfortunate event that this webpage is not accessible, please contact the
+authors of this license document; we'd be happy to send you one.
+
+The following cryptographic checksum may be used to verify whether or not the
+copy you recieved is genuine. This checksum is produced by the MD5 algorithm,
+formally specified by RFC 1321: 71bf2d31e9e4e15cc9f82f30e6a00db0
+
+If it turns out the copy you recieved doesn't match the provided cryptographic
+checksum, contact the author of the software immediately to have it sorted out.
