How to Apply These Terms to Your
New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of
the greatestpossible 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>

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

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
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.

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 Lesser General Public License instead of this
License.
