How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
284
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
288
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
289
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
293
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
294
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
296
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
297
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
298
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
299
(at your option) any later version.
301
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
302
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
303
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
304
GNU General Public License for more details.
306
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
308
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
310
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
312
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313
when it starts in an interactive mode:
315
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
320
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
322
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
325
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
329
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

335
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339
Public License instead of this License.
