How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this
is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty ; and each file should have at
least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is
found.one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it
does.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and

notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode :

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY ; for
details type 'show w' . This is free software, and you are welcome
to redistribute it under certain conditions ; type 'show c' for
details.
The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course,
the commands you use may be called something other than
'show w' and 'show c' ; they could even be mouse-clicks or
menu items-- whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)
or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
program,if necessary. Here is a sample ; alter the names:
