GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version , June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document,

but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble

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.
