News Spotter License Terms + News Spotter is free software. You can download it. Run it. Share it with your friends. You can do this at no cost from now until the end of time. I've also placed the source code online as well. This means that people with a programming background are free to make whatever enhancements or modifications they care to dream up. They are free to republish the source code with their modifications as well.

The only string attached is that you can't claim authorship of the software. If you republish the source code, you have to identify me as the original author. Sorry.

The actual legalese, below, is based on an MIT license. The research I've done indicates that this license should be compatible with the Gnu Public License. Here it is:
