| The GNU General Public License started life as the GNU Emacs Public License in 1987 (the linked version is from February 1988), and has been built on the principle of copyleft: the use of the copyright system to enforce software freedom through licensing. This prototype version of the GPL was used for other packages, such as GNU Bison (in 1988), and Nethack (in 1989), and was most likely written by Richard Stallman himself.
