Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to
take away your freedom to share and change it.
By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and
change free software--to make sure the software
is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other
Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser 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 distribute copies of free software
(and charge for this service 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 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
