|  | # The Mindset of GPL | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + GPL protects software freedom. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Ultimate goal: make sure every user has the four freedoms. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Freedom to run the software. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Freedom to study and modify the software. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Freedom to share the software. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Freedom to distribute modified versions. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Every clause in GPL was designed to uphold one of these freedoms. | ||||||
|  |      + Or, it's a compromise of drafting in adoption vs. freedom debate. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | # Using Copyright | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + GPL is primarily a copyright license. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Software is copyrighted. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + License grants key freedoms. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Requirement prohibit activities that take away freedoms. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + General concept: copyleft. | ||||||
|  | 
 | ||||||
|  | + Specific implementation: GPL | ||||||
