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 is intended 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 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 prevent
others from denying you these rights
