The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
and change it. By contrast, the GNU 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. This General Public License applies to most of
the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose au-
thors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply
it to your programs, too.
