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modified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reflect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modificationfollow.
