thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the
limitation as if written in the
body of this License.
9.
The Free Software Foundation
may publish revised and/or new
versions of the General Public
License from time to time. Such
new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but
may differ in detail to address
new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a
distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies a version number
of this License which applies to it
and "any later version", you have the
option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the
Free Software Foundation. If the
Program does not specify a version
number of
this License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts
of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to
the author to ask for permission.
For software which is
copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to
the Free Software Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions
for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software
and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.

How to Apply These
Terms to Your New
Programs
If you develop a new program, and
you want it to be of the
greatestpossible use to the public, the
best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these
terms.
To do so, attach the following
notices to the program. It is safest to
attach them to the start of each
source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty;
and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's
name and a brief idea of what it
does.>
