"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
|
||||||
|
works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
||||||
|
<br/>
|
||||||
|
<br/>
|
||||||
|
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
||||||
|
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
|
||||||
|
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
|
||||||

|
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
||||||
|
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
|
||||||
|
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
|
||||||
|
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
|
||||||
|
<br/>
|
||||||
|
<br/>
|
||||||
|
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
||||||
|
on the Program.

# Binaries (i.e., Object Code) are Modifications
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
+ Software that the computer understands is different than software humans
|
||||||
|
read.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
+ There is often a process required to modify (and/or translate) the software
|
||||||
|
from human-readable
|
||||||
|
+ This process can be done ahead of time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
+ Separation of source and binary was the first way proprietary software
|
||||||
|
companies discovered to subjugate users.
|
||||||
|
+ GPL uses the fact that binaries are modifications (which are often
|
||||||
|
distribution) to prevent that subjugation.
