How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be
of 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 is safest to attach them to the start of each source
file to most 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.
<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea
of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of
author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General
Public License as published by the Free Software
Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at
your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be
useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without
even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See
the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General
Public License along with this program; if not, write
to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin
Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by
electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of
author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO
WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’.
This is free software, and you are welcome to
redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’
for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’
should show the appropriate parts of the General
Public License. Of course, the commands you use
may be called something other than ‘show w’ and
‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu
items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a
“copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary.
Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright
interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes
passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989

This General Public License does not permit
incorporating your program into proprietary
programs.
If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
applications with the library. If this is what you want
to do, use the GNU Library General Public License
instead of this License.

Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation,
Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA
02110-1301, USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and

Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take
away your freedom to share and change it. By
contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and
change free software-to make sure the software is free
for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License,
applies to some specially designated software
packagestypically libraries--of the Free Software
Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.
You can use it too, but we suggest you first think
carefully about whether this license or the ordinary
General Public License is the better strategy to use in
any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom of use, 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 and use pieces of it in new free
programs; and that you are informed that you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions
