  copyleft
       
           /kop'ee-left/ (A play on "copyright") The copyright
          notice and General Public License applying to the works of
          the Free Software Foundation, granting reuse and
          reproduction rights to everyone.
       
          Typically copyrights take away freedoms; copyleft preserves
          them.  It is a legal instrument that requires those who pass
          on a program to include the rights to use, modify, and
          redistribute the code; the code and the freedoms become
          legally inseparable.
       
          The copyleft used by the GNU Project combines a regular
          copyright notice and the "GNU General Public License" (GPL).
          The GPL is a copying license which basically says that you
          have the aforementioned freedoms.  The license is included in
          each GNU source code distribution and manual.
       
          See also General Public Virus.
