| 9 | Framework that you might want to include with your own program use the |
| 10 | MIT License. This is the checker-qual.jar file and all the files that |
| 11 | appear in it: every file in a qual/ directory, plus utility files such |
| 12 | as NullnessUtils.java, RegexUtil.java, UnsignednessUtil.java, etc. |
| 13 | In addition, the cleanroom implementations of third-party annotations, |

| 47 | The GNU General Public License (GPL) |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Version 2, June 1991 |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| 52 | 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license |
| 55 | document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Preamble |
| 58 | |
| 59 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share |
| 60 | and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to |
| 61 | guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the |
| 62 | software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to |
| 63 | most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose |
| 64 | authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is |
| 65 | covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
| 66 | your programs, too. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our |
| 69 | General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to |
| 70 | distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), |
| 71 | that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change |
| 72 | the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you |
| 73 | can do these things. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny |
| 76 | you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions |
| 77 | translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the |
| 78 | software, or if you modify it. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for |
| 81 | a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must |
| 82 | make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must |
| 83 | show them these terms so they know their rights. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) |
| 86 | offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute |
| 87 | and/or modify the software. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that |
| 90 | everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the |
| 91 | software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to |
| 92 | know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced |
| 93 | by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We |
| 96 | wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will |
| 97 | individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. |
| 98 | To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for |
| 99 | everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
| 102 | follow. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| 105 | |
| 106 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice |
| 107 | placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
| 108 | this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program |
| 109 | or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any |
| 110 | derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the |
| 111 | Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or |
| 112 | translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included |
| 113 | without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as |
| 114 | "you". |
| 115 | |
| 116 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by |
| 117 | this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is |
| 118 | not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents |
| 119 | constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by |
| 120 | running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
| 121 | |
| 122 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as |
| 123 | you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| 124 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and |
| 125 | disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License |
| 126 | and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the |
| 127 | Program a copy of this License along with the Program. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may |
| 130 | at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
| 131 | |
| 132 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus |
| 133 | forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications |
| 134 | or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of |
| 135 | these conditions: |
| 136 | |
| 137 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating |
| 138 | that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| 139 | |
| 140 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or |
| 141 | in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be |
| 142 | licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of |
| 143 | this License. |
| 144 | |
| 145 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, |
| 146 | you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the |
| 147 | most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an |
| 148 | appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or |
| 149 | else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute |
| 150 | the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy |
| 151 | of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does |
| 152 | not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is |
| 153 | not required to print an announcement.) |
| 154 | |
| 155 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable |
| 156 | sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably |
| 157 | considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and |
| 158 | its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate |
| 159 | works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a |
| 160 | work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms |
| 161 | of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire |
| 162 | whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
| 163 | |
| 164 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your |
| 165 | rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the |
| 166 | right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on |
| 167 | the Program. |
| 168 | |
| 169 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the |
| 170 | Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or |
| 171 | distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this |
| 172 | License. |
| 173 | |
| 174 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under |
| 175 | Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and |
| 176 | 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
| 177 | |
| 178 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source |
| 179 | code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above |
| 180 | on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
| 181 | |
| 182 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to |
| 183 | give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically |
| 184 | performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the |
| 185 | corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 |
| 186 | and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
| 187 | |
| 188 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to |
| 189 | distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only |
| 190 | for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in |
| 191 | object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with |
| 192 | Subsection b above.) |
| 193 | |
| 194 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
| 195 | modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all |
| 196 | the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface |
| 197 | definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation |
| 198 | of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code |
| 199 | distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either |
| 200 | source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) |
| 201 | of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
| 202 | itself accompanies the executable. |
| 203 | |
| 204 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy |
| 205 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source |
| 206 | code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though |
| 207 | third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
| 208 | |
| 209 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as |
| 210 | expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, |
| 211 | sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate |
| 212 | your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or |
| 213 | rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so |
| 214 | long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
| 215 | |
| 216 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. |
| 217 | However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program |
| 218 | or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not |
| 219 | accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or |
| 220 | any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to |
| 221 | do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
| 222 | the Program or works based on it. |
| 223 | |
| 224 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), |
| 225 | the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to |
| 226 | copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. |
| 227 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the |
| 228 | rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by |
| 229 | third parties to this License. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| 232 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions |
| 233 | are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that |
| 234 | contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the |
| 235 | conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy |
| 236 | simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent |
| 237 | obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. |
| 238 | For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution |
| 239 | of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through |
| 240 | you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
| 241 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
| 242 | |
| 243 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
| 244 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and |
| 245 | the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
| 246 | |
| 247 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or |
| 248 | other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this |
| 249 | section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software |
| 250 | distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many |
| 251 | people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software |
| 252 | distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| 253 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to |
| 254 | distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that |
| 255 | choice. |
| 256 | |
| 257 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a |
| 258 | consequence of the rest of this License. |
| 259 | |
| 260 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain |
| 261 | countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original |
| 262 | copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit |
| 263 | geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that |
| 264 | distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In |
| 265 | such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body |
| 266 | of this License. |
| 267 | |
| 268 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the |
| 269 | General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in |
| 270 | spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems |
| 271 | or concerns. |
| 272 | |
| 273 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
| 274 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later |
| 275 | version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of |
| 276 | that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. |
| 277 | If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may |
| 278 | choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs |
| 281 | whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for |
| 282 | permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, |
| 283 | write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. |
| 284 | Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of |
| 285 | all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of |
| 286 | software generally. |
| 287 | |
| 288 | NO WARRANTY |
| 289 | |
| 290 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR |
| 291 | THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE |
| 292 | STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE |
| 293 | PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, |
| 294 | INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND |
| 295 | FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
| 296 | PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, |
| 297 | YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| 298 | |
| 299 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL |
| 300 | ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE |
| 301 | PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
| 302 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
| 303 | INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA |
| 304 | BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
| 305 | FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER |
| 306 | OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| 307 | |
| 308 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| 309 | |
| 310 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| 311 | |
| 312 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible |
| 313 | use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software |
| 314 | which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| 315 | |
| 316 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach |
| 317 | them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion |
| 318 | of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a |
| 319 | pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| 320 | |
| 321 | One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does. |
| 322 | |
| 323 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| 324 | |
| 325 | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it |
| 326 | under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free |
| 327 | Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) |
| 328 | any later version. |
| 329 | |
| 330 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT |
| 331 | ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or |
| 332 | FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for |
| 333 | more details. |
| 334 | |
| 335 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
| 336 | with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 |
| 337 | Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA |
| 338 | |
| 339 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| 340 | |
| 341 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it |
| 342 | starts in an interactive mode: |
| 343 | |
| 344 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes |
| 345 | with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free |
| 346 | software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; |
| 347 | type 'show c' for details. |
| 348 | |
| 349 | The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate |
| 350 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be |
| 351 | called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be |
| 352 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
| 353 | |
| 354 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, |
| 355 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here |
| 356 | is a sample; alter the names: |
| 357 | |
| 358 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
| 359 | 'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |

| 365 | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
| 366 | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
| 367 | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
| 368 | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public |
| 369 | License instead of this License. |
| 370 | |
| 371 | |
| 372 | "CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL |
| 373 | |
| 374 | Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are |
| 375 | subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but |
| 376 | only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header |
| 377 | the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath" |
| 378 | exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code." |
| 379 | |
| 380 | Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making |
| 381 | a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of |
| 382 | the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination. |
| 383 | |
| 384 | As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you |
| 385 | permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an |
| 386 | executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, |
| 387 | and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your |
| 388 | choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, |
| 389 | the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent |
| 390 | module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If |
| 391 | you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of |
| 392 | the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do |
| 393 | so, delete this exception statement from your version. |
