Preamble
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 authors 
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.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our 
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to 
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), 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.
