|
|---|
| 10 | Paragraph 2c of the General Public License. This is to say, there is
|
|---|
| 11 | no requirement for Bash to print a notice when it is started
|
|---|
| 12 | interactively in the usual way. We made this exception because users
|
|---|
| 13 | and standards expect shells not to print such messages. This
|
|---|
| 14 | exception applies to any program that serves as a shell and that is
|
|---|
| 15 | based primarily on Bash as opposed to other GNU software.

| 17 | Preamble
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
|---|
| 20 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
|---|
| 21 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
|
|---|
| 22 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
|
|---|
| 23 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
|
|---|
| 24 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
|
|---|
| 25 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
|
|---|
| 26 | the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
|
|---|
| 27 | your programs, too.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|---|
| 30 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
|---|
| 31 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
|---|
| 32 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
|
|---|
| 33 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
|
|---|
| 34 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
|---|
| 37 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
|
|---|
| 38 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
|
|---|
| 39 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
|---|
| 42 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
|
|---|
| 43 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
|
|---|
| 44 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
|
|---|
| 45 | rights.
