I was watching the version of my follower and I do not know how it is that it can be copyrighted and free Software at the same time.
Mercurial distributed SCM (version 1.3.1 + 7cea12e70129)
Copyright (c) 2005-2009 Matt McCall and others it is free software; See the source of copying conditions, there is no warranty; Not even for business or fitness for a particular purpose.
All software, even free software, copyright is free software license The meaning is that copyright holder is providing rights to use, modify and distribute software under certain conditions. The reason for this is allowed to be done in the first place because they are the copyright holders and thus determine the terms of the software's use.
In fact, this idea was so novel about GPL in the first place: It uses the framework of copyright law to implement delivery terms for the software covered by the license.
