Printed below is the GNU General Public License (the <em>GPL</em> or

<em>copyleft</em>), under which Linux is licensed. It is reproduced here to
|
|
clear up some of the confusion about Linux's copyright status---Linux
|
|
is <em>not</em> shareware, and it is <em>not</em> in the public domain. The
|
|
bulk of the Linux kernel is copyright ©1993 by Linus Torvalds,
|
|
and other software and parts of the kernel are copyrighted by their authors.
|
|
Thus, Linux <em>is</em> copyrighted, however, you may redistribute it under
|
|
the terms of the GPL printed below.
