(This text is stolen from the Texinfo manual, Edition 4.0).
|
|
|
|
The programs currently being distributed that relate to @previewlatex{}
|
|
include lisp files for Emacs and style files for @LaTeX{}. These
|
|
programs are @dfn{free}; this means that everyone is free to use them
|
|
and free to redistribute them on a free basis. The @previewlatex{}
|
|
related programs are not in the public domain; they are copyrighted and
|
|
there are restrictions on their 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 these programs that they might get from you.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away
|
|
copies of the programs that relate to @previewlatex{}, that you receive
|
|
source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change these
|
|
programs or use pieces of them 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 the @previewlatex{} related programs, 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 the programs that relate to
|
|
@previewlatex{}. If these programs are 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 not
|
|
reflect on our reputation.
|
|
|
|
The precise conditions of the licenses for the programs currently being
|
|
distributed that relate to @previewlatex{} are found in the General Public
|
|
Licenses that accompany them.
