The GNU General Public License

This page contains links to translations of the GNU General Public License into the following languages:
  • German (by S.u.S.E. GmbH)

  • German (by Peter Gerwinski; based on S.u.S.E.'s translation)

  • Polish (only partially translated)

  • Japanese (LaTeX and plain text; Japanese character set needed)

  • Please inform me about translations into other languages, so I can set up links to them here.

    The translations are distributed in the hope that they will facilitate understanding, but they are not official or legally approved translations.

    The Free Software Foundation is not the publisher of these translations and has not approved them as legal substitutes for the authentic GNU General Public License. The translations have not been reviewed carefully by lawyers, and therefore the translators cannot be sure that they exactly represent the legal meaning of the GNU General Public License. If you wish to be sure whether your planned activities are permitted by the GNU General Public License, please refer to the authentic English version.

    The Free Software Foundation strongly urges you not to use these translations as the official distribution terms for your programs; instead, please use the authentic English version published by the Free Software Foundation.
