Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the

practice for those products.  If such problems arise substantially in

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

assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

 

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

modification follow.

@item Definitions.

 

``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

 

``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds

of works, such as semiconductor masks.

 

``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this

License.  Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.  ``Licensees'' and

``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations.

 

To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work

in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of

an exact copy.  The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of

the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work.

 

A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based

on the Program.

 

To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without

permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for

infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a

computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,

distribution (with or without modification), making available to the

public, and in some countries other activities as well.

 

To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other

parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user
