Every nontrivial file needs a license notice as well as the copyright
-notice. (Without a license notice giving permission to copy and change
-the file
-would make the file non-free.)
-
- <p>The package itself should contain a full copy of GPL (conventionally in
-a file named <samp><span class="file">COPYING</span></samp>) and the GNU Free
Documentation License
-(included within your documentation). If the package contains any files
-distributed under the Lesser GPL, it should contain a full copy of that
-as well (conventionally in a file named <samp><span
class="file">COPYING.LIB</span></samp>).
-
- <p>You can get the official versions of these files from three places.
-You can use whichever is the most convenient for you.
-
- <ul>
-<li><a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/</a>.
-
- <li>The directory <samp><span class="file">/gd/gnuorg</span></samp> on
the host
-<code>fencepost.gnu.org</code>. (You can ask <a
href="mailto:address@hidden">address@hidden</a>
-for an account there if you don't have one).
-
- <li>The <code>gnulib</code> project on <code>savannah.gnu.org</code>,
which you
-can access via anonymous CVS. See
-<a
href="http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib">http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib</a>.
-
- </ul>
-
- <p>The official Texinfo sources for the licenses are also available in
-those same places, so you can include them in your documentation. A
-GFDL-covered manual must include the GFDL in this way. See <a
href="/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/GNU-Sample-Texts.html#GNU-Sample-Texts">GNU
Sample Texts</a>, for a full example in a Texinfo manual.
-
- <p>Typically the license notice for program files (including build scripts,
-configure files and makefiles) should cite the GPL, like this:
-
- <blockquote>
-This file is part of GNU <var>program</var>
-
- <p>GNU <var>program</var> is free software; you can redistribute it

useful,
-but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

- <p>You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
-along with <var>program</var>; see the file COPYING. If not, write to
-the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor,
-Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
-</blockquote>
-
- <p>But in a small program which is just a few files, you can use
-this instead:
-
- <blockquote>
-This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
-it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
-the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

along
-with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
-51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
-</blockquote>
-
- <p>Documentation files should have license notices also. Manuals should
-use the GNU Free Documentation License. Here is an example of the
-license notice to use after the copyright notice. Please adjust the
-list of invariant sections as appropriate for your manual. (If there
-are none, then say “with no invariant sections”.) See <a

- under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or
- any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the
- Invariant Sections being "GNU General Public License", with the
- Front-Cover Texts being ``A GNU Manual,'' and with the Back-Cover Texts
- as in (a) below. A copy of the license is included in the section
- entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
-
- (a) The FSF's Back-Cover Text is: ``You are free to copy and modify
- this GNU Manual. Buying copies from GNU Press supports the FSF in
- developing GNU and promoting software freedom.''
-</pre>
- <p>If the FSF does not publish this manual on paper, then omit the last
-sentence in (a) that talks about copies from GNU Press. If the FSF is
-not the copyright holder, then replace ‘<samp><span
class="samp">FSF</span></samp>’ with the appropriate
-name.
-
- <p>See <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html</a>
for more advice
-about how to use the GNU FDL.
-
- <p>If the manual is over 400 pages, or if the FSF thinks it might be a good
-choice for publishing on paper, then please include our standard
-invariant section which explains the importance of free documentation.
-Write to <a href="mailto:address@hidden">address@hidden</a> to get a copy of
this section.
-
- <p>Note that when you distribute several manuals together in one software
-package, their on-line forms can share a single copy of the GFDL (see
-section 6). However, the printed (‘<samp><span
class="samp">.dvi</span></samp>’) forms should each
-contain a copy of the GFDL, unless they are set up to be printed
-and published only together. Therefore, it is usually simplest to
-include the GFDL in each manual.
-
- <p>Small supporting files, short manuals (under 300 lines long) and rough
-documentation (README files, INSTALL files, etc) can use a simple
-all-permissive license like this one:
-
-<pre class="smallexample"> Copying and distribution of this file, with or
without modification,
- are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
- notice and this notice are preserved.
-</pre>
- <p>If your package distributes Autoconf macros that are intended to be
-used (hence distributed) by third-party packages under possibly
-incompatible licenses, you may also use the above all-permissive
-license for these macros.
+notice. (Without a license notice giving permission to copy and
+change the file, the file is non-free.)
- <p>If you would like help with license issues or with using the GFDL,
-please contact <a href="mailto:address@hidden">address@hidden</a>.
+ <p>The package itself should contain a full copy of GPL (conventionally
+in a file named <samp><span class="file">COPYING</span></samp>) and the GNU
Free Documentation License
+(included within your documentation). If the package contains any
+files distributed under the Lesser GPL, it should contain a full copy
+of that as well (conventionally in a file named

+
+<p>Documentation files should have license notices also. Manuals should
+use the GNU Free Documentation License. Following is an example of the
+license notice to use after the copyright line(s) using all the
+features of the GFDL.
+
+<pre class="smallexample"> Permission is granted to copy, distribute
and/or modify this document
+ under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or
+ any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the
+ Invariant Sections being ``GNU General Public License'', with the
+ Front-Cover Texts being ``A GNU Manual,'' and with the Back-Cover Texts
+ as in (a) below. A copy of the license is included in the section
+ entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''.
+
+ (a) The FSF's Back-Cover Text is: ``You are free to copy and modify
+ this GNU Manual. Buying copies from GNU Press supports the FSF in
+ developing GNU and promoting software freedom.''
+</pre>
+ <p>If the FSF does not publish this manual on paper, then omit the last
+sentence in (a) that talks about copies from GNU Press. If the FSF is
+not the copyright holder, then replace ‘<samp><span
class="samp">FSF</span></samp>’ with the appropriate
+name.
+
+ <p>Please adjust the list of invariant sections as appropriate for your
+manual. If there are none, then say “with no Invariant Sections”.
+If your manual is not published by the FSF, and under 400 pages, you
+can omit both cover texts and the inclusion of the GPL.
+
+ <p>See <a
href="/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/GNU-Sample-Texts.html#GNU-Sample-Texts">GNU
Sample Texts</a>, for a full example in a
+Texinfo manual, and see
+<a
href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html</a>
for more advice about
+how to use the GNU FDL.
+
+ <p>If the manual is over 400 pages, or if the FSF thinks it might be a good
+choice for publishing on paper, then please include our standard
+invariant section which explains the importance of free documentation.
+Write to <a href="mailto:address@hidden">address@hidden</a> to get a copy of
this section.
+
+ <p>When you distribute several manuals together in one software package,
+their on-line forms can share a single copy of the GFDL (see
+section 6). However, the printed (‘<samp><span
class="samp">.dvi</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span
class="samp">.pdf</span></samp>’,
+<small class="dots">...</small>) forms should each contain a copy of the GFDL,
unless they are
+set up to be printed and published only together. Therefore, it is
+usually simplest to include the GFDL in each manual.

+ notice and this notice are preserved.
+</pre>
+ <p>If your package distributes Autoconf macros that are intended to be

+license for these macros.
