Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of fol- lowing the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Founda- tion, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of pre- serving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Pro- grams
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the pub- lic, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
