Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

16
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
17
document, but changing it is not allowed.
19
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
23
The <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License is a free, copyleft
24
license for software and other kinds of works.
27
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to
28
take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the
29
<acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License is intended to guarantee your
30
freedom to share and change all versions of a program—to make sure it
31
remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation,
32
use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License for most of our
33
software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its
34
authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
37
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
38
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
39
to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish),
40
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
41
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you
42
know you can do these things.
45
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these
46
rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
47
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify
48
it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
51
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
52
for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you
53
received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
54
code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
57
Developers that use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> <acronym>GPL</acronym>
58
protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software,
59
and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy,
60
distribute and/or modify it.
63
For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the
64
<acronym>GPL</acronym> clearly explains that there is no warranty for this
65
free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the
66
<acronym>GPL</acronym> requires that modified versions be marked as changed,
67
so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of
71
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified
72
versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so.
73
This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users’
74
freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs
75
in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it
76
is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the
77
<acronym>GPL</acronym> to prohibit the practice for those products. If such
78
problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this
79
provision to those domains in future versions of the <acronym>GPL</acronym>,
80
as needed to protect the freedom of users.
83
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States
84
should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on
85
general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the
86
special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it
87
effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the <acronym>GPL</acronym>
88
assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
91
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
97
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
101
“This License” refers to version 3 of the <acronym>GNU</acronym>
102
General Public License.
105
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
106
kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
109
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under
110
this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
111
“Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or
115
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of
116
the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making
117
of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified
118
version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the
122
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work
123
based on the Program.
126
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
127
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement
128
under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or
129
modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with
130
or without modification), making available to the public, and in some
131
countries other activities as well.
134
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables
135
other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
136
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
139
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal
140
Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently
141
visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
142
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent
143
that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this
144
License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents
145
a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the
146
list meets this criterion.
148
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
152
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the
153
work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any
154
non-source form of a work.
157
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an
158
official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
159
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is
160
widely used among developers working in that language.
163
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything,
164
other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
165
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component,
166
and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or
167
to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available
168
to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this
169
context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so
170
on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work
171
runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter
175
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means
176
all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
177
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
178
control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s
179
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
180
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which
181
are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes
182
interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and
183
the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that
184
the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
185
communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of
189
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
190
automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
193
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
195
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
196
2. Basic Permissions.
199
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright
200
on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.
201
This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the
202
unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by
203
this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered
204
work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other
205
equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
208
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
209
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You
210
may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make
211
modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for
212
running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License
213
in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those
214
thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on
215
your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them
216
from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their
217
relationship with you.
220
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
221
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
224
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
225
3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
228
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure
229
under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO
230
copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or
231
restricting circumvention of such measures.
234
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
235
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
236
effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered
237
work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of
238
the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or
239
third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological
242
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
243
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
246
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you
247
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
248
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all
249
notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in
250
accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the
251
absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License
252
along with the Program.
255
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you
256
may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
258
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
259
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
262
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce
263
it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section
264
4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
266
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
269
The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and
270
giving a relevant date.
275
The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under
276
this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement
277
modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
283
You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
284
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
285
apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the
286
whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
287
packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any
288
other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
289
separately received it.
294
If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
295
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
296
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need
302
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
303
which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are
304
not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of
305
a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if
306
the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access
307
or legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works
308
permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause
309
this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
311
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
312
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
315
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
316
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
317
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
319
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
322
Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
323
a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source
324
fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software
330
Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
331
a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid
332
for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts
333
or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses
334
the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all
335
the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a
336
durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a
337
price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
338
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from
339
a network server at no charge.
344
Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
345
offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed
346
only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the
347
object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
352
Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
353
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
354
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
355
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
356
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
357
the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on
358
a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
359
equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
360
next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
361
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
362
obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
363
satisfy these requirements.
368
Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
369
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the
370
work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
376
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from
377
the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in
378
conveying the object code work.
381
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”,
382
which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for
383
personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold
384
for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
385
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.
386
For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally
387
used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product,
388
regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the
389
particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the
390
product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product
391
has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such
392
uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
395
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
396
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and
397
execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a
398
modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice
399
to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in
400
no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been
404
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
405
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of
406
a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product
407
is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term
408
(regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding
409
Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation
410
Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any
411
third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
412
Product (for example, the work has been installed in
413
<acronym>ROM</acronym>).
416
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
417
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for
418
a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User
419
Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may
420
be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
421
operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
422
communication across the network.
425
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
426
accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented
427
(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form),
428
and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
431
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
435
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of
436
this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
437
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be
438
treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that
439
they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only
440
to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those
441
permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License
442
without regard to the additional permissions.
445
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
446
additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
447
permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases
448
when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on
449
material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give
450
appropriate copyright permission.
453
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add
454
to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that
455
material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
457
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
460
Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms
461
of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
466
Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
467
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
468
displayed by works containing it; or
473
Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
474
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
475
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
480
Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
481
authors of the material; or
486
Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
487
names, trademarks, or service marks; or
492
Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
493
anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
494
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
495
liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
496
licensors and authors.
501
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
502
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as
503
you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
504
governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
505
you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
506
restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
507
may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
508
document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
509
relicensing or conveying.
512
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must
513
place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms
514
that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the
518
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form
519
of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above
520
requirements apply either way.
522
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
526
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
527
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is
528
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License
529
(including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section
533
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from
534
a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and
535
until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license,
536
and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the
537
violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
540
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
541
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
542
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of
543
violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and
544
you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
547
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
548
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this
549
License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
550
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
551
material under section 10.
553
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
554
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
557
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
558
copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring
559
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a
560
copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
561
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work.
562
These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
563
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
564
acceptance of this License to do so.
566
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
567
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
570
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a
571
license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that
572
work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing
573
compliance by third parties with this License.
576
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control
577
of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
578
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work
579
results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who
580
receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the
581
party’s predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous
582
paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the
583
work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get
584
it with reasonable efforts.
587
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
588
granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
589
license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under
590
this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim
591
or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed
592
by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or
595
<bridgehead renderas="sect1">
599
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under
600
this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
601
work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor
605
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent
606
claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
607
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by
608
this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do
609
not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further
610
modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition,
611
“control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a
612
manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
615
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
616
license under the contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use,
617
sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the
618
contents of its contributor version.
621
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any
622
express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a
623
patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not
624
to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent
625
license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to
626
enforce a patent against the party.
629
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
630
Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free
631
of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available
632
network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1)
633
cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
634
yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or
635
(3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License,
636
to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly
637
relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent
638
license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your
639
recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one
640
or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe
644
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement,
645
you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and
646
grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work
647
authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the
648
covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to
649
all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
652
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include
653
within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
654
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
655
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work
656
if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
657
business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third
658
party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under
659
which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the
660
covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection
661
with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those
662
copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or
663
compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that
664
arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
667
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any
668
implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
669
available to you under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
675
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
676
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
677
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
678
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
679
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
680
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
681
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the
682
Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License
683
would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

13. Use with the <acronym>GNU</acronym> Affero General Public License.
689
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to
690
link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the
691
<acronym>GNU</acronym> Affero General Public License into a single combined
692
work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will
693

14. Revised Versions of this License.
702
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
703
<acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License from time to time. Such new
704
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
705
detail to address new problems or concerns.
708
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
709
specifies that a certain numbered version of the <acronym>GNU</acronym>
710
General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you
711
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
712
numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software
713
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
714
<acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License, you may choose any version
715
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
718
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
719
the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License can be used, that
720
proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
721
authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
724
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
725
However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright
726
holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
732
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE

LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
734
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
735
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
736
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
737
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH

NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
773
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
774
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
775
which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
778
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
779
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the
780
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
781
“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is
785
<replaceable>one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.</replaceable>
786
Copyright (C) <replaceable>year</replaceable> <replaceable>name of author</replaceable>
788
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
789
it under the terms of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License as published by
790
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
791
(at your option) any later version.
793
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
794
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
795
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
796
<acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License for more details.
798
You should have received a copy of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License
799
along with this program. If not, see <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/</ulink>.
802
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
805
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like
806
this when it starts in an interactive mode:
809
<replaceable>program</replaceable> Copyright (C) <replaceable>year</replaceable> <replaceable>name of author</replaceable>
810
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘<literal>show w</literal>’.
811
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
812
under certain conditions; type ‘<literal>show c</literal>’ for details.
815
The hypothetical commands ‘<literal>show w</literal>’ and
816
‘<literal>show c</literal>’ should show the appropriate parts of
817
the General Public License. Of course, your program’s commands might be
818
different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
821
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
822
if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
823
necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the
824
<acronym>GNU</acronym> <acronym>GPL</acronym>, see <ulink
825
url="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/</ulink>.
828
The <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License does not permit
829
incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a
830
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking
831
proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do,
832
use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> Lesser General Public License instead of this
833
License. But first, please read <ulink
