   285 	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

   286 

   287   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest

   288 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it

   289 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

   290 

   291   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest

   292 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively

   293 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least

   294 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

   295 

   296     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

   297     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

   298 

   299     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

   300     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

   301     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

   302     (at your option) any later version.

   303 

   304     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

   305     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

   306     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the

   307     GNU General Public License for more details.

   308 

   309     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

   310     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software

   311     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA

   312 

   313 

   314 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

   315 

   316 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this

   317 when it starts in an interactive mode:

   318 

   319     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author

   320     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.

   321     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

   322     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

   323 

   324 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate

   325 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may

   326 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be

   327 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

   328 

   329 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your

   330 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if

   331 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

   332 

   333   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

   334   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

   339 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

   340 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may

   341 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

   342 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General

   343 Public License instead of this License.
