By contrast, our 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. The General Public License applies to the Free Software +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit +to using it. You can use it for your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make +sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free +software, 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 a 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 get the +source code. And you must tell them their rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, +and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to +copy, distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make +certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this +free software. If the software is modified by someone else and +passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not +the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not +reflect on the original authors' reputations. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + 1. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work + which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it + may be distributed under the terms of this General Public + License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or + work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program + or any work containing the Program or a portion of it, either + verbatim or with modifications. Each licensee is addressed as + "you". + + 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's + source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you + conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an + appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep + intact all the notices that refer to this General Public License + and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other + recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License + along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical + act of transferring a copy. + + 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion + of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the + terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the + following: + + * cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating + that you changed the files and the date of any change; and + + * cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, + that in whole or in part contains the Program or any part + thereof, either with or without modifications, to be + licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms + of this General Public License (except that you may choose + to grant warranty protection to some or all third parties, + at your option). + + * If the modified program normally reads commands + interactively when run, you must cause it, when started + running for such interactive use in the simplest and most + usual way, to print or display an announcement including an + appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no + warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and + that users may redistribute the program under these + conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this + General Public License. + + * You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a + copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection + in exchange for a fee. + + Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program + (or its derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution + medium does not bring the other work under the scope of these + terms. + + 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or + derivative of it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or + executable form under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above + provided that you also do one of the following: + + * accompany it with the complete corresponding + machine-readable source code, which must be distributed + under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, + + * accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal + charge for the cost of distribution) a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to + be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; + or, + + * accompany it with the information you received as to where + the corresponding source code may be obtained. (This + alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution + and only if you received the program in object code or + executable form alone.) + + Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work + for making modifications to it. For an executable file, + complete source code means all the source code for all modules + it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include + source code for modules which are standard libraries that + accompany the operating system on which the executable file + runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that + accompany that operating system. + + 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the + Program except as expressly provided under this General Public + License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, + distribute or transfer the Program is void, and will + automatically terminate your rights to use the Program under + this License. However, parties who have received copies, or + rights to use copies, from you under this General Public License + will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties + remain in full compliance. + + 6. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work + based on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this + license to do so, and all its terms and conditions. + + 7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the + Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from + the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program + subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any + further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights + granted herein. + + 8. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new + versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such + new versions 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 the license which + applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of + following the terms and conditions either of that version or of + any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If + the Program does not specify a version number of the license, + you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software + Foundation. + + 9. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free + programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to + the author 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 derivatives of our free software and of promoting + the sharing and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 10. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO + WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE + LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT + HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT + WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, + BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY + AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE + QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE + PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY + SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN + WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY + MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE + LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, + INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR + INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS + OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY + YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH + ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN + ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + +Appendix: 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 humanity, 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 (C) 19YY 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 1, 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.

It is included here + as an expression of support for the League on the part of the + Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman. + + Ashton-Tate, Apple, Lotus and Xerox are trying to create a new +form of legal monopoly: a copyright on a class of user interfaces. +These monopolies would cause serious problems for users and +developers of computer software and systems. + + Until a few years ago, the law seemed clear: no one could restrict +others from using a user interface; programmers were free to +implement any interface they chose. Imitating interfaces, sometimes +with changes, was standard practice in the computer field. The +interfaces we know evolved gradually in this way; for example, the +Macintosh user interface drew ideas from the Xerox interface, which +in turn drew on work done at Stanford and SRI. 1-2-3 imitated +VisiCalc, and dBase imitated a database program from JPL. + + Most computer companies, and nearly all computer users, were happy +with this state of affairs. The companies that are suing say it does +not offer "enough incentive" to develop their products, but they must +have considered it "enough" when they made their decision to do so. +It seems they are not satisfied with the opportunity to continue to +compete in the marketplace--not even with a head start. + + If Xerox, Lotus, Apple and Ashton-Tate are permitted to make law +through the courts, the precedent will hobble the software industry: + + * Gratuitous incompatibilities will burden users. Imagine if each + car manufacturer had to arrange the pedals in a different order. + + * Software will become and remain more expensive. Users will be + "locked in" to proprietary interfaces, for which there is no + real competition. + + * Large companies have an unfair advantage wherever lawsuits + become commonplace. Since they can easily afford to sue, they + can intimidate small companies with threats even when they don't + really have a case. + + * User interface improvements will come slower, since incremental + evolution through creative imitation will no longer be permitted. + + * Even Apple, etc., will find it harder to make improvements if + they can no longer adapt the good ideas that others introduce, + for fear of weakening their own legal positions. Some users + suggest that this stagnation may already have started. + + * If you use GNU software, you might find it of some concern that + user interface copyright will make it hard for the Free Software + Foundation to develop programs compatible with the interfaces + that you already know. + + To protect our freedom from lawsuits like these, a group of +programmers and users have formed a new grass-roots political +organization, the League for Programming Freedom. + + The purpose of the League is to oppose new monopolistic practices +such as user-interface copyright and software patents; it calls for a +return to the legal policies of the recent past, in which these +practices were not allowed. The League is not concerned with free +software as an issue, and not affiliated with the Free Software +Foundation. + + The League's membership rolls include John McCarthy, inventor of +Lisp, Marvin Minsky, founder of the Artificial Intelligence lab, Guy L. +Steele, Jr., author of well-known books on Lisp and C, as well as +Richard Stallman, the developer of GNU CC. Please join and add your +name to the list. Membership dues in the League are $42 per year for +programmers, managers and professionals; $10.50 for students; $21 for +others. + + The League needs both activist members and members who only pay +their dues. + + To join, or for more information, phone (617) 492-0023 or write to: + + League for Programming Freedom + 1 Kendall Square #143 + P.O. Box 9171 + Cambridge, MA 02139 league@prep.ai.mit.edu + + Here are some suggestions from the League for how you can protect +your freedom to write programs: + + * Don't buy from Xerox, Lotus, Apple or Ashton-Tate. Buy from + their competitors or from the defendants they are suing. + + * Don't develop software to work with the systems made by these + companies. + + * Port your existing software to competing systems, so that you + encourage users to switch. + + * Write letters to company presidents to let them know their + conduct is unacceptable. + + * Tell your friends and colleagues about this issue and how it + threatens to ruin the computer industry. + + * Above all, don't work for the look-and-feel plaintiffs, and + don't accept contracts from them. + + * Write to Congress to explain the importance of this issue. + + House Subcommittee on Intellectual Property + 2137 Rayburn Bldg + Washington, DC 20515 + + Senate Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights + United States Senate + Washington, DC 20510 + + Express your opinion!
