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

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.
