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 the public, 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 fi le to most effectively convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each fi le 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 an idea of
what it does.
Copyright (C) yyyy 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 2 of the
License, 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) year 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 is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright
interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes
passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit
incorporating your program into proprietary
programs. If your program is a subroutine library,
you may consider it more useful to permit linking
proprietary applications with the library. If this is
what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies of this license document, but
changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft
license for software and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most software and other practical
works are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU
General Public License is intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change all versions of
a program--to make sure it remains free software
for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation,
use the GNU General Public License for most of our
software; it applies also to any other work released
this way by its authors. You can apply it to your
programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom
to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), 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 prevent others
from denying you these rights or asking you to
surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to
respect the freedom of others.
