By contrast, our General Public +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The +General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's +software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. +You can use it for your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make +sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free +software, 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 make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, 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.

If GDB 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 Foundation, -Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be -allowed to distribute or change GDB. - - - COPYING POLICIES - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GDB 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."

You may modify your copy or copies of GDB 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 GDB 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 third parties, at your option). - - c) if the modified program serves as a debugger, 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."
