6*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
9*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw                            Preamble
10*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
11*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwyour programs, too.
20*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
21*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
28*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
33*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwrights.
38*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
39*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
43*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwauthors' reputations.
49*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
50*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
56*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmodification follow.
58*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
59*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
62*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwa notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dweither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
72*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
79*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwalong with the Program.
86*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
87*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
90*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
95*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
98*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    parties under the terms of this License.
102*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
103*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
114*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
124*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcollective works based on the Program.
128*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
129*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwa storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe scope of this License.
133*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
134*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
138*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
142*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
149*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
155*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwitself accompanies the executable.
165*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
166*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
172*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwparties remain in full compliance.
179*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
180*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe Program or works based on it.
188*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
189*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dworiginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthis License.
196*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
197*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
210*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcircumstances.
214*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
215*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwimpose that choice.
225*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
226*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
229*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dworiginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
237*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwaddress new problems or concerns.
241*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
242*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dweither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwFoundation.
249*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
250*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
258*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw                            NO WARRANTY
259*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
260*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
270*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

283*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
284*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
288*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
293*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

311*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
312*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwwhen it starts in an interactive mode:

315*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
320*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dw
325*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*ce5a0b7dSsaggi-dwnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
