1.1 root 1: GNU EMACS GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2:
3: Copyright (C) 1985 Richard M. Stallman
4: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
5: of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
6:
7: The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
8: mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
9: intended to give everyone the right to share GNU Emacs. To make
10: sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make
11: restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
12: to surrender the rights. Hence this license agreement.
13:
14: Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
15: away copies of Emacs, that you receive source code or else can get it
16: if you want it, that you can change Emacs or use pieces of it in new
17: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
18:
19: To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
20: deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
21: copies of Emacs, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
22: have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
23: source code. And you must tell them their rights.
24:
25: Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
26: finds out that there is no warranty for GNU Emacs. If Emacs is
27: modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know
28: that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems
29: introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.
30:
31: Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Fundation,
32: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
33: allowed to distribute or change GNU Emacs.
34:
35: COPYING POLICIES
36:
37: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU Emacs source
38: code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
39: and appropriately publish on each file a valid copyright notice such
40: as "Copyright (C) 1985 Richard M. Stallman", containing the year of
41: last change and name of copyright holder for the file in question;
42: keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this License
43: Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
44: recipients of the GNU Emacs program a copy of this License Agreement
45: along with the program.
46:
47: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU Emacs source code or
48: any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under
49: the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
50:
51: a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
52: who last changed such files and the date of any change; and
53:
54: b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
55: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU Emacs
56: or any part thereof, to be freely distributed
57: and licensed to all third parties on terms identical to those
58: contained in this License Agreement (except that you may choose
59: to grant more extensive warranty protection to third parties,
60: at your option).
61:
62: c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it
63: when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
64: an announcement including a valid copyright notice ("Copyright
65: (C)", the year of authorship, and all copyright owners' names),
66: saying that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
67: a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
68: these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
69: this License Agreement.
70:
71: 3. You may copy and distribute GNU Emacs or any portion of it in
72: compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
73: 1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
74:
75: a) cause each such copy of GNU Emacs to be accompanied by the
76: corresponding machine-readable source code; or
77:
78: b) cause each such copy of GNU Emacs to be accompanied by a
79: written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
80: free (except for a nominal shipping charge) machine readable
81: copy of the corresponding source code; or
82:
83: c) in the case of a recipient of GNU Emacs in compiled, executable
84: or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
85: shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
86: of the written offer of source code which you received along
87: with the copy of GNU Emacs.
88:
89: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Emacs
90: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
91: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Emacs is void and
92: your rights to use GNU Emacs under this License agreement shall be
93: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
94: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
95: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
96:
97: Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
98: software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
99: 1000 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138, or call (617) 876-3296.
