Preamble
Thelicensesformostsoftwarearedesignedtotakeawayyourfreedomto
shareandchangeit.Bycontrast,theGNUGeneralPublicLicenseisintended
toguaranteeyourfreedomtoshareandchangefreesoftware--tomakesurethe
softwareisfreeforallitsusers.This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PublicLicenseinstead.)Youcanapplyittoyour
programs,too.
Whenwespeakoffreesoftware,wearereferringtofreedom,notprice.Our
GeneralPublicLicensesaredesignedtomakesurethatyouhavethefreedomto
distributecopiesoffreesoftware(andcharge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restrictions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)copyright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
modiedbysomeoneelseandpassedon,wewantitsrecipientstoknowthatwhat
theyhaveisnottheoriginal,sothatanyproblemsintroducedbyotherswillnot
reectontheoriginalauthors’reputations.
Finally,anyfreeprogramisthreatenedconstantlybysoftwarepatents.Wewishto
avoidthedangerthatredistributorsofafreeprogramwillindividuallyobtainpatent
licenses,ineffectmakingtheprogramproprietary.Topreventthis,wehavemadeit
clearthatanypatentmustbelicensedforeveryone’sfreeuseornotlicensedatall.
Theprecisetermsandconditionsforcopying,distributionandmodicationfollow.
