5 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
---|
6 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
---|
7 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
---|
8 | </p><p> |
---|
9 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
---|
10 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
---|
11 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
---|
12 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
---|
13 | </p><p> |
---|
14 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |

---|
18 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |

23 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |

27 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |

---|
30 | </p><p> |
---|
31 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
---|
32 | </p><p> |
---|
33 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
---|
34 | when it starts in an interactive mode: |
---|
35 | </p><p> |

36 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
---|
37 | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
---|
38 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
---|
39 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
---|
40 | </p><p> |
---|
41 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
---|
42 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
---|
43 | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
---|
44 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
---|
45 | </p><p> |
---|
46 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
---|
47 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
---|
48 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
---|
49 | </p><p> |

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