Stallman + Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies + of this license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also + use this wording to make the terms for other programs. + + The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the +mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is +intended to give everyone the right to share GNU Emacs. To make +sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make +restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you +to surrender the rights. Hence this license agreement. + + Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give +away copies of Emacs, that you receive source code or else can get it +if you want it, that you can change Emacs or use pieces of it in new +free programs, and that you know you can do these things. + + To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to +deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute +copies of Emacs, 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. + + Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone +finds out that there is no warranty for GNU Emacs. If Emacs is +modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know +that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems +introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation. + + Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Fundation, +Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be +allowed to distribute or change GNU Emacs. + + COPYING POLICIES + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU Emacs source code +as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and +appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright +(C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with whatever year is +appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this +License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any +other recipients of the GNU Emacs program a copy of this License +Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee +for the physical act of transferring a copy. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU Emacs source code 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: + + a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating + that you changed the files and the date of any change; and + + b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, + that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU Emacs + or any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third + parties on terms identical to those contained in this License + Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive + warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option). + + c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it when + started running in the simplest and usual way, to print an + announcement including a valid copyright notice "Copyright (C) + 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year that is + appropriate), saying 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 License Agreement. + + d) You may charge a distribution 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 unrelated program with this program (or its +derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring +the other program under the scope of these terms. + + 3. You may copy and distribute GNU Emacs (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: + + a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, + + b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal + shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the + corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, + + c) 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.) + +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. + + 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Emacs +except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Emacs is void and +your rights to use GNU Emacs under this License agreement shall be +automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer +software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have +their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GNU Emacs into other free programs +whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free Software +Foundation. We have not yet worked out a simple rule that can be stated +here, but we will often permit this. We 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. + +Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our +software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc., +675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, or call (617) 876-3296. + + NO WARRANTY + + BECAUSE GNU EMACS IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY +NO WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT +WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC, +RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU EMACS "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 GNU EMACS +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY +SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL FREE SOFTWARE +FOUNDATION, INC., RICHARD M. STALLMAN, AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY +MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GNU EMACS AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU +FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER +SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR +INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA +BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A +FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH PROGRAMS NOT DISTRIBUTED BY +FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC.) THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN +ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY +OTHER PARTY. |
