Greg<p>When people release something under <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPL</span></a> usually they just drop a text-copy of the license in the root folder under LICENSE. But I am looking at the license and it ends with a section "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" which I think should actually be omitted? It's not the license to the software, it's more like advertising for the license itself, or instructions to the user. Is that right? Can this appendix be elided from the software distribution?</p><p><a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/fsf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsf</span></a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/gnu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gnu</span></a> <a href="https://icosahedron.website/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a></p>
