1.1     ! root        1:                 GNU EMACS GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
        !             2:                    (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
        !             3: 
        !             4:  Copyright (C) 1985, 1987, 1988 Richard M. Stallman
        !             5:  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
        !             6:  of this license, but changing it is not allowed.  You can also
        !             7:  use this wording to make the terms for other programs.
        !             8: 
        !             9:   The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
        !            10: mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our general public license is
        !            11: intended to give everyone the right to share GNU Emacs.  To make
        !            12: sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make
        !            13: restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
        !            14: to surrender the rights.  Hence this license agreement.
        !            15: 
        !            16:   Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
        !            17: away copies of Emacs, that you receive source code or else can get it
        !            18: if you want it, that you can change Emacs or use pieces of it in new
        !            19: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
        !            20: 
        !            21:   To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
        !            22: deprive anyone else of these rights.  For example, if you distribute
        !            23: copies of Emacs, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
        !            24: have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
        !            25: source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
        !            26: 
        !            27:   Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
        !            28: finds out that there is no warranty for GNU Emacs.  If Emacs is
        !            29: modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know
        !            30: that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems
        !            31: introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.
        !            32: 
        !            33:   Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Fundation,
        !            34: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
        !            35: allowed to distribute or change GNU Emacs.
        !            36: 
        !            37:                        COPYING POLICIES
        !            38: 
        !            39:   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU Emacs source code
        !            40: as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
        !            41: appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
        !            42: (C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with whatever year is
        !            43: appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this
        !            44: License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
        !            45: other recipients of the GNU Emacs program a copy of this License
        !            46: Agreement along with the program.  You may charge a distribution fee
        !            47: for the physical act of transferring a copy.
        !            48: 
        !            49:   2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU Emacs source code or
        !            50: any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under
        !            51: the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
        !            52: 
        !            53:     a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
        !            54:     that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
        !            55: 
        !            56:     b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
        !            57:     that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU Emacs
        !            58:     or any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
        !            59:     parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
        !            60:     Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
        !            61:     warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option).
        !            62: 
        !            63:     c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it when
        !            64:     started running in the simplest and usual way, to print an
        !            65:     announcement including a valid copyright notice "Copyright (C)
        !            66:     1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year that is
        !            67:     appropriate), saying that there is no warranty (or else, saying
        !            68:     that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
        !            69:     program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a
        !            70:     copy of this License Agreement.
        !            71: 
        !            72:     d) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
        !            73:     transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
        !            74:     protection in exchange for a fee.
        !            75: 
        !            76: Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
        !            77: derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
        !            78: the other program under the scope of these terms.
        !            79: 
        !            80:   3. You may copy and distribute GNU Emacs (or a portion or derivative of it,
        !            81: under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
        !            82: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
        !            83: 
        !            84:     a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
        !            85:     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
        !            86:     Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
        !            87: 
        !            88:     b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
        !            89:     years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
        !            90:     shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
        !            91:     corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
        !            92:     Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
        !            93: 
        !            94:     c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
        !            95:     corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
        !            96:     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
        !            97:     received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
        !            98: 
        !            99: For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for
        !           100: all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
        !           101: source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the
        !           102: operating system on which the executable file runs.
        !           103: 
        !           104:   4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Emacs
        !           105: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement.  Any attempt
        !           106: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Emacs is void and
        !           107: your rights to use GNU Emacs under this License agreement shall be
        !           108: automatically terminated.  However, parties who have received computer
        !           109: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
        !           110: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
        !           111: 
        !           112:   5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GNU Emacs into other free programs
        !           113: whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free Software
        !           114: Foundation.  We have not yet worked out a simple rule that can be stated
        !           115: here, but we will often permit this.  We will be guided by the two goals of
        !           116: preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
        !           117: promoting the sharing and reuse of software.
        !           118: 
        !           119: Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
