I feel it is important to emphasize the transfer of freedoms.
"All" worked for that but this does also. How about this? In the end
your choice. I can see
it both ways:
The GPL, a copyleft license, essentially says that you're free to
use the
software for any purpose and that anyone to whom you give the
software
must have the SAME rights you had when receiving the software to
study,
modify and re-distribute the software.
Let's see if any other comments pop up. If not, that page can be
replaced on
the website.
