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.>

If
the program
is
interactive, make
it
output
a short notice like
this when
it
starts
in
an
interactive mode:

'show

and 'show c' should show

of

Of
course,
the
com-
mands you use may be called something
other
than 'show

and
'show

; 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:
