END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to apply these terms to your new programs
If you develop
a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is
to make it free software
which everyone
can redistribute
and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach
the
following
notices
to the
program.
It is safest
to attach
them
to the
start
of each source
file to most
effectively
convey
the exclusion
of warranty;
and each 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.
Copyright
(C) <year> <name of author>
This program
is free software;
you
can redistribute
it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
license, or (at your option)
any later version.
This program is distributed
in the hope that it wilt be useful, but
WITHOUT
ANY WARRANTY; without
even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY
or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should
have received
a copy of the GNU General
Public
License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1501
USA.
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 software, 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 'Gnomovision'
(which makes passes at compilers)
written
by James Hacker.
Signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This
General
Public
License
does
not
permit
incorporating
your
program
into
proprietary
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
Lesser
General
Public
License
instead
of this
license.
