Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are design
ed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended
to guarantee your freedom t
o share and change free software--to make sure
the software is free for all its users. Thi
s General Public License applies
to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
software is covered by the GNU Library General Pub
lic License instead.) You
can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring t
o freedom, not price. Our
General Public Licenses are desig
ned to make sure that you have the freedom
to distribute copies of free software (and char
ge for this service if you
wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that
you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make re
strictions that forbid anyone to
deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
for a fee, you must give the recipients all
the rights that you have. You
must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you
must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) cop
yright the software, and (2)
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
the software is modified by someone else and pas
sed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened const
antly by software patents. We
wish to avoid the danger that redist
ributors of a free program will
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it cl
ear that any patent must be
licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
