13 GNU Emacs is legally owned by the Free Software Foundation, but we | |
14 regard the foundation more as its custodian on behalf of the public. | |
15 | |
16 In the GNU project, when we speak of "free software", this refers to | |
17 liberty, not price. Specifically, it refers to the users' freedom to | |
18 study, copy, change and improve the software. Sometimes users pay | |
19 money for copies of GNU software, and sometimes they get copies at no | |
20 charge. But regardless of how they got the software, or whether it | |
21 was modified by anyone else along the way, they have the freedom to | |
22 copy and change it--those freedoms are what "free software" means. | |
23 | |
24 The precise conditions for copying and modification are stated in the | |
25 document "GNU General Public License," a copy of which is required to | |
26 be distributed with every copy of GNU Emacs. It is usually in a file | |
27 named `COPYING' in the same directory as this file. These conditions | |
28 are designed to make sure that everyone who has a copy of GNU Emacs | |
29 (including modified versions) has the freedom to redistribute and | |
30 change it. | |
31 | |
32 If you do not know anyone to get a copy of GNU Emacs from, you can | |
32809 | 33 order a cd-rom from the Free Software Foundation. We distribute |
34 several Emacs versions. We also distribute nicely typeset copies of | |
35 the Emacs user manual, Emacs Lisp Reference Manual, the Emacs | |

38 If you have Internet access, you can copy the latest Emacs | |
32809 | 39 distribution from hosts, such as ftp.gnu.org. There are several ways |
40 to do this; see http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html for more | |

51 Note that there is significant variation between Unix systems | |
52 supposedly running the same version of Unix; it is possible that what | |
53 works in GNU Emacs for me does not work on your system due to such an | |
54 incompatibility. Since I must avoid reading Unix source code, I | |
55 cannot even guess what such problems may exist. | |
56 | |
57 GNU Emacs is distributed with no warranty (see the General Public | |
58 License for full details, in the file `COPYING' in this directory (see | |
59 above)), and neither I nor the Free Software Foundation promises any | |
60 kind of support or assistance to users. The foundation keeps a list | |
61 of people who are willing to offer support and assistance for hire. | |
32809 | 62 See http://www.gnu.org/help/gethelp.html. |
26119 | 63 |
64 However, we plan to continue to improve GNU Emacs and keep it | |
65 reliable, so please send me any complaints and suggestions you have. | |
66 I will probably fix anything that I consider a malfunction. I may | |
67 make improvements that are suggested, but I may choose not to. | |
68 | |
32809 | 69 If you are on the Internet, report bugs to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org. You |
70 can use the Emacs command M-x report-bug RET to mail a bug report. | |
71 Please read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual before reporting | |
72 bugs. | |
26119 | 73 |
32809 | 74 General questions about the GNU Project can be asked of gnu@gnu.org. |
26119 | 75 |
76 If you are a computer manufacturer, I encourage you to ship a copy of | |
77 GNU Emacs with every computer you deliver. The same copying | |
78 permission terms apply to computer manufacturers as to everyone else. | |
79 You should consider making a donation to help support the GNU project; | |
80 if you estimate what it would cost to distribute some commercial | |
81 product and divide it by five, that is a good amount. | |
82 | |
83 If you like GNU Emacs, please express your satisfaction with a | |
84 donation: send me or the Foundation what you feel Emacs has been worth | |
85 to you. If you are glad that I developed GNU Emacs and distribute it | |
59059 | 86 as free software, rather than following the obstructive and antisocial |
26119 | 87 practices typical of software developers, reward me. If you would |
88 like the Foundation to develop more free software, contribute. | |
89 | |
90 Your donations will help to support the development of additional GNU | |
91 software. GNU/Linux systems (variants of GNU, based on the kernel | |
92 Linux) have millions of users, but there is still much to be done. | |
93 For more information on GNU, see the file `GNU' in this directory (see | |
94 above). | |
