Copying summary

GIMP-Print is free; this means that everyone is free to use it and free to redistribute it on a free basis. GIMP-Print is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions on its distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do. What is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing any version of GIMP-Print that they might get from you.

Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away copies of GIMP-Print, that you receive source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change GIMP-Print or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute copies of GIMP-Print, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must tell them their rights.

Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds out that there is no warranty for GIMP-Print. If GIMP-Print is modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients to know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced by others will no reflect on our reputation.
