- --The Free Software Foundation -(FSF) -is a non-profit institution -that designed the GNU General Public License (GPL) to promote the -publication of free software. -The GPL is used by thousands of programmers -who want to give others the right to copy and modify -the source code of their programs. Millions of people benefit from this. -
-We use the GPL -to allow everyone to use, copy and modify the -Internet Junkbuster -as they wish. -Companies can use it for commercial purposes, -but they are not permitted to use it in products that they claim -as their property -without negotiating a separate agreement with us beforehand. -
-The GPL -can also be used -on documents written in human languages. -We give everyone permission to use everything on our web site under the GPL. -This means that you do not have to break copyright laws in order -to print a page or email a screen of the text to someone, for example. -Many sites do not permit you to do these things. -
-If you have a home page, -we recommend that you consider using the GPL to -allow others the right to copy and use all the documents you create for it. -If you just mark a page as copyright, they won't even -legally be able to print it. -If you don't state you are its copyright owner, -they could change it slightly and claim it as their own property. -By marking it with both copyright and GPL notices -you allow them to copy it but not to claim -anything derived from it as their own. -
-The GPL protects your -JUNKBUSTERS DECLARATION, -Spam Offer, -and all documents from us that you publish on your home page -or distribute to direct marketers by any other means. -By making your -DECLARATION -available to them under the GPL, you are -permitting them use to it, but never to claim it as their property, -even if they transform it. -
-The -remainder of this page is the text of the GPL. -As legal documents go it's relatively clear, -but unfortunately it's fairly long because it has to cover -a lot of details specific to computer programs -that may not be relevant to -DECLARATIONs. -The hypertext links are ours, and should not be misinterpreted -as an indication of emphasis by the FSF. -

-The licenses for most software are designed to take away your -freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public -License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free -software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This -General Public License applies to most of the Free Software -Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to -using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by -the GNU Library General Public License instead.) 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 -this service 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 make restrictions that forbid -anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. -These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you -distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. -
-For example, -if you distribute copies of such a program, whether -gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that -you have. 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. -
-We protect your rights with two steps: -(1) copyright the software, and -(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, -distribute and/or modify the software. -
-Also, -for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain -that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free -software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we -want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so -that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original -authors' reputations. -
-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. -
- --O. -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.
-
-You may charge a fee -for the physical act of transferring a copy, and -you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. -
-These requirements -apply to the modified work as a whole. If -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based -on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. -
-Thus, -it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or -collective works based on the Program. -
-In addition, -mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program -with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under -the scope of this License. -
-The source code -for a work means the preferred form of the work for -making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source -code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any -associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to -control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a -special exception, the source code distributed need not include -anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary -form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the -operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component -itself accompanies the executable. -
-If distribution of executable or object code is made -by offering -access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent -access to copy the source code from the same place counts as -distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not -compelled to copy the source along with the object code. -
-If any portion -of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under -any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to -apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other -circumstances. -
-It is not the purpose -of this section to induce you to infringe any -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the -integrity of the free software distribution system, which is -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot -impose that choice. -
-This section -is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to -be a consequence of the rest of this License. -
-NO WARRANTY -
-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 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) 19yy -<name of -author> ---This program is free software; -you can redistribute 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 -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., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, 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) 19yy 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 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. - -<signature -of -Ty Coon>, -1 April 1989 --
-Ty Coon, President of Vice -
-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 Library General -Public License instead of this License. -
