321 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
|
322 |
|
323 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
|
324 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
|
325 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
|
326 |
|
327 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
|
328 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
|
329 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
|
330 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
331 |
|
332 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
|
333 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
334 |
|
335 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
|
336 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
|
337 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
|
338 (at your option) any later version. |
|
339 |
|
340 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
|
341 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
|
342 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
|
343 GNU General Public License for more details. |
|
344 |
|
345 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
|
346 with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., |
|
347 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. |
|
348 |
|
349 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
|
350 |
|
351 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
|
352 when it starts in an interactive mode: |
|
353 |
|
354 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
|
355 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
|
356 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
|
357 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
|
358 |
|
359 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
|
360 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
|
361 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
|
362 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
|
363 |
|
364 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
|
365 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
|
366 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
|
367 |
|
368 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
|
369 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |

|
374 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
|
375 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
|
376 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
|
377 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
|
378 Public License instead of this License. |
