Date: 9 May 91 12:58:52 GMT From: stephenc@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Stephen Chung) How do I release software under the GPL? Do I need to put "This software is released under GNU GPL" in the docs, readme or source? Thanks for the pointers. Most copies of the GPL come with a postscript entitled "how to apply these terms to your own programs." For instance GCC does. Unfortunately the version of the GPL distributed with Emacs appears not to have this appendix. It's pretty easy to do.
