 *********
 
 GNU `grep' is licensed under the GNU GPL, which makes it "free
 software".
 
    The "free" in "free software" refers to liberty, not price. As some
 GNU project advocates like to point out, think of "free speech" rather
 than "free beer".  In short, you have the right (freedom) to run and
 change `grep' and distribute it to other people, and--if you
 want--charge money for doing either.  The important restriction is that
 you have to grant your recipients the same rights and impose the same
 restrictions.
 
    This general method of licensing software is sometimes called "open
 source".  The GNU project prefers the term "free software" for reasons
 outlined at
 `http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html'.
 
    This manual is free documentation in the same sense.  The
 documentation license is included below.  The license for the program
 is available with the source code, or at
 `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html'.
