software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c'

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.

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

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute

changing it is not allowed.
preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft
license for software and other kinds of works. The
licenses for most software and other practical
works are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU
General Public License is intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change all versions of a
program--to make sure it remains free software for
all its users.
We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU
General Public License for most of our software; it
applies also to any other work released this way by
its authors.
You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring
to freedom, 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 them if you wish), that you receive
source code or can get it if you want it, that you
can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others
from denying you these rights or asking you to
surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to
respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a
program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must
pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that
you received. You must make sure that they, too,
receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your
rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the
software, and (2) offer you this License giving you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify
it.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the
GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for
this free software. For both users' and authors'
sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be
marked as changed, so that their problems will not
be attributed erroneously to authors of previous
versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access
to install or run modified versions of the software
inside them, although the manufacturer can do so.
This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to change the software.
The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in
the area of products for individuals to use, which is
precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore,
we have designed this version of the GPL to
prohibit the practice for those products. If such
problems arise substantially in other domains,
we stand ready to extend this provision to those
domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed
to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by
software patents. States should not allow patents
