How to Apply These Terms to Your New

the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is
to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It

effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice
is found.
