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dis-

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

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
