to share and change free software--to make
sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the
Free Software Foundation’s software and to
any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software
Foundation software is covered by the GNU
Lesser General Public License instead.) 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 this service 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 make
restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies
of the software, or if you modify it.
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, receive or
can get the source code. And you must show
them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1)
copyright the software, and (2) offer you this
license which gives you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we
want to make certain that everyone
understands that there is no warranty for this
free software. If the software is modified by
someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not
the original, so that any problems introduced
by others will not reflect on the original
authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened
constantly by software patents. We wish to
avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent
licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it
clear that any patent must be licensed for
everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying,
distribution and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
LICENSE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or
other work which contains a notice placed
by the copyright holder saying it may be
distributed under the terms of this General
Public License. The “Program”, below,
refers to any such program or work, and a
“work based on the Program” means either
the Program or any derivative work under
copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/
or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the term
“modification”.) Each licensee is
addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output
from the Program is covered only if its
contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true
depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim
copies of the Program’s source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of
warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of
any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this
License along with the Program.
