+
+<p>Here we suppose that your package is not FSF-copyrighted.
+</p>
+<p>When you copy legally significant code from another free software
+package with a GPL-compatible license, you should look in the
+package’s records to find out the authors of the part you are copying,
+and list them as the contributors of the code that you copied. If all
+you did was copy it, not write it, then for copyright purposes you are
+<em>not</em> one of the contributors of <em>this</em> code.
+</p>
+<p>If the code is supposed to be in the public domain, make sure that is
+really true: that all the authors of the code have disclaimed
+copyright interest. Then, when copying the new files into your
+project, add a brief note at the beginning of the files recording the
+authors, the public domain status, and anything else relevant.
+</p>
+<p>On the other hand, when merging some public domain code into an
+existing file covered by the GPL (or LGPL or other free software
+license), there is no reason to indicate the pieces which are public
+domain. The notice saying that the whole file is under the GPL (or
+other license) is legally sufficient.
+</p>
+<p>Using code that is not in the public domain, but rather released under
+a GPL-compatible free license, may require preserving copyright
+notices or other steps. Of course, you should follow the requirements
+stated.

+
+<p>If you are maintaining an FSF-copyrighted package, please don’t copy
+in any code without verifying first that we have suitable legal papers
+for that code.
+</p>
+<p>If you are copying from another FSF-copyrighted package, then we
+presumably have papers for that package’s own code, but you must check
+whether the code you are copying is part of an external library; if
+that is the case, we don’t have papers for it, so you should not copy
+it. It can’t hurt in any case to double-check with the developer of
+that package.
+</p>
+<p>When you are copying code for which we do not already have papers, you
+need to get papers for it. It may be difficult to get the papers if
+the code was not written as a contribution to your package, but that
+doesn’t mean it is ok to do without them. If you cannot get papers
+for the code, you can only use it as an external library
+(see <a href="External-Libraries.html#External-Libraries">External
Libraries</a>).
