+ "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of +works, such as semiconductor masks. +
+
+ "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. +
+
+ A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based +on the Program. +
