10.3 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 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 effectively 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 cO19yy <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
    PURPOSE. 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., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge,  MA 02139,
    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)  19yy 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 program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:


    Yoyodyne, Inc.,  hereby disclaims  all  copyright interest  in
    the program `Gnomovision'  (which makes  passes at  compilers)
    written by James Hacker.
    <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
    Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
