14 Appendix72En9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such newversions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies toit and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later versionpublished by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose anyversion ever published by the Free Software Foundation.10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to theauthor to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivativesof our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.NO WARRANTY11.

It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively conveythe exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.Copyright (C) yyyy name of authorThis program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as publishedby 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 ofMERCHANTABILITY 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., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, 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) year name of authorGnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome toredistribute 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, thecommands 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 theprogram, 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 byJames Hacker.signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989Ty Coon, President of ViceThis General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutinelibrary, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use theGNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
