"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples, then you and I will
still each
have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange
these
ideas, then each of us will have two ideas."
-Attributed
to Bernard Shaw
"倘若你有一個蘋果，我也有一個蘋果，而我們彼此交換這些蘋果，那麼，你和我仍各只有一個蘋果。但是，倘若你有一種思想，而我也有一種思想，而我們彼此交換這些思想，那麼，我們每個人將各有兩種思想。"
-喬治.蕭伯納
GNU計畫的開始
the start of the GNU project, Richard Stallman was concerned about the
freedoms that the users of the software would have. He wanted not only those
who received programs directly from the GNU project to continue to enjoy
the same rights (modification, redistribution, etc.) but also those who received
it after any number of redistributions and (potentially) modifications. For this
reason he drafted the GPL licence, probably the first software licence designed
specifically in order to guarantee that a program would be free in this way.
Richard Stallman called the generic mechanism that these GPL type licences
use in order to achieve these guarantees, copyleft, which continues to be the
name of a large family of free software licences (Free Software Foundation,
GNU General Public Licence, version 2, June 1991) [118].
