 Copying
 *******
 
    GDK is "free"; this means that everyone is free to use it and free
 to redestribute it on a free basis. GDK 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 GDK that they might get from
 you.
 
    Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
 away copies of GDK, that you receive source code or else can get it if
 you want it, that you can change GDK 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 GDK, 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 my own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds
 out that there is no warranty for GDK. If GDK 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.
 
    The precise conditions of the licenses for GDK are found in the
 General Public Licenses that accompanies it.
