END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to apply these terms to your new programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the great-
est 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 effective-
ly 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>
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 PUR-
POSE. 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 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 pro-
gram, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the pro-
gram ‘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 subrou-
tine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking pro-
prietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to
do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this
license.
