COYPING: restore the full text text of GPL (#21568)
When the license was added to the repository, its text was changed (some sections at the end removed) and, worse, the authors of go-ethereum tried to claim copyright on the license text. The correct way to apply GPL to a project is to copy it verbatim. This change reverts the text of the GPL to the original.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
||||||
|
possible 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
|
||||||
|
state 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.>

||||||

|
||||||
|
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
|
||||||

the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
|
||||||
|
(at your option) any later version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
||||||
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
||||||
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
|

|
GNU General Public License for more details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
||||||
|
along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
|
||||||
|
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
||||||
|
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
|
||||||
|
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
||||||
|
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
||||||
|
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
|
||||||
|
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
|
||||||
|
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
|
||||||
|
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see

<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
|
||||||
|
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
|
||||||
|
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
|
||||||
|
the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
|
||||||
|
Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
|
||||||
|
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.
