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 pro-
gram. It is safest to attach them to the start of each
source file to most effectively convey the exclu-
sion 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 redistrib-
ute 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 MER-
CHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License
for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Gen-
eral Public License along with this program; if not,
write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307
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 interac-
tive 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 redistrib-
ute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for
details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show
c' should show the appropriate parts of the Gen-
eral 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 neces-
sary.
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.
