- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007
- Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http: /Ifsf.orgl>
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing itis 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 isintended 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 getitif you
- want it, that you can change the software or use pieces ofit 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, orif
- 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 andlor 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
