Preamble
|

|

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
|
||||
software and other kinds of works.
|
||||
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
|
||||
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
|
||||
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
our General Public Licenses are 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.
|
||||
software for all its users.
|
||||
|
||||
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
||||
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that 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.
|
||||
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
|
||||
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
|
||||
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
|
||||
and/or modify the software.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
|
||||
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
|
||||
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
|
||||
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
|
||||
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
|
||||
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
|
||||
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
|
||||
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
|
||||
source code to the public.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
|
||||
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
|
||||
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
|
||||
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
|
||||
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
|
||||
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
|
||||
code of the modified version.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
||||
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
|
||||
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
|
||||
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
|
||||
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
|
||||
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
||||
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
|
||||
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
|
||||
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
|
||||
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
|
||||
this license.

If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer

network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
|

get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
|
||||
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
|
||||
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
|
||||
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
|
||||
specific requirements.

||||

||||
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
|
||||
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
