How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283+
284+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285+
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286+
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287+
288+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
289+
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290+
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291+
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292+
293+
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
294+
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
295+
296+
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
297+
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
298+
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
299+
(at your option) any later version.
300+
301+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
302+
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
303+
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
304+
GNU General Public License for more details.
305+
306+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307+
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
308+
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
309+
310+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311+
312+
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313+
when it starts in an interactive mode:
314+
315+
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316+
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317+
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318+
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319+
320+
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321+
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
322+
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323+
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324+
325+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326+
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327+
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
328+
329+
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330+

334+
335+
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336+
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337+
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338+
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339+
Public License instead of this License.
