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 an idea of
what it does.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic

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 ;

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license
for software and other kinds of works. The licenses for most
software and other practical works are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--
to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General
Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any
other work released this way by its authors.
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 them 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 prevent others from
denying you these rights or asking you to surrender
the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if
you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it:
responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the
recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights. Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2)
offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify it. For the developers’ and authors’
protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty
for this free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the
GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed,
so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions. Some devices are designed to
deny users access to install or run modified versions of the
software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so.
This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting
users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products
for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of
the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such
problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand
ready to extend this provision to those domains in future
versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of
users.
