<p>

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If

identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,

and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in

themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those

sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you

distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based

on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the

entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

<br/>

<br/>

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest

your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to

exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or

collective works based on the Program.

# GPLv3 §0 ¶1-5

<p>

  "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.

<br/>

<br/>

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.

+ 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.

<p>[GPLv2&sect;]3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of

Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

<br/>

<br/>

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections

1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

<br/>

<br/>

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three

years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your

cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete

machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be

distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium

customarily used for software interchange;
