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.>

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY

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 soft-
ware, 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 “Gnomovi-
sion” (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into pro-
prietary 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 Library General Public License instead of this License.
