To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
44-
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
45-
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
46-
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
47-
48-
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
49-
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
50-
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
51-
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
52-
know their rights.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
55-
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
56-
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
57-
58-
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
59-
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
60-
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
61-
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
62-
authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
65-
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
66-
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
67-
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
68-
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
69-
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
70-
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
71-
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
72-
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
73-
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
76-
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
77-
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
78-
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
79-
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
80-
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
28+
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
29+
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute

and/or modify the software.
31+
32+
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
33+
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
34+
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
35+
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
36+
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
37+
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
38+
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
39+
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
40+
source code to the public.
41+
42+
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
43+
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
44+
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
45+
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
46+
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
47+
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
48+
code of the modified version.
49+
50+
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
51+
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
52+
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
53+
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
54+
this license.
