# GPLv2§2(a-b)

<span class="fitonslide">

<p>[GPLv2&sect;]2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any

portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and

distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above,

provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

<br/>

<br/>

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating

that you changed the files and the date of any change.

<br/>

<br/>

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in

whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any

part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third

parties under the terms of this License.

</p>

# GPLv2§ 2 ¶ ante-penultimate & penultimate

<p>

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If

identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,

and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in

themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those

sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you

distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based

on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the

entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

<br/>

<br/>

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest

your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to

exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or

collective works based on the Program.
