It has to come with source code
1:01:06
So that someone can maintain a program.
1:01:10
If they go from a PC to a Mac for example
1:01:13
they can change the software.
1:01:17
Derived Works have to be possible
1:01:20
If someone has to improve your program
1:01:23
um, they should be able to distribute the result
1:01:29
uh, There is a provision about integrity
1:01:34
of the author's source code
1:01:35
which says that the author can sort of
maintain their honor

1:01:41
and if you make a change
1:01:44
you might have to change the name of the program
1:01:47
or mark out your change very clearly
1:01:50
so that your change doesn't reflect on the author
1:01:54
There is no discrimination against people or groups.
1:01:59
Uh, the example I usually use is
1:02:02
You can't stop an abortion clinic
1:02:05
or an anti-abortion activist from using the software
1:02:08
There is no discrimination against fields of endeavor
1:02:13
And that means the software has to be usable
1:02:17
in a business as well as in a school
1:02:21
The license has to be distributable
1:02:25
In other words
1:02:27
I have to be able to give that license to someone
1:02:30
and that license then should work
1:02:35
if that someone gives it to yet a third person
1:02:38
The license can't be specific to a product
1:02:42
in other words
1:02:44
if I distribute my software on a Red Hat system
1:02:50
the license can't say
1:02:52
you can't distribute this on a SuSE or Debian system
1:02:56
The license can't contaminate other software
