Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear
that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The
„Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a „work
based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation
is included without limitation in the term „modification".) Each
licensee is addressed as „you". Activities other than copying,
distribution and modification are not covered by this License;
they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its
contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true
depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that
refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give
any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along
