If the program does terminal interaction, it is suggested to make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

The hypothetical commands show w and show c should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
