Addendum, from the FAQ:
1.6 Legalities
Gnuplot is freeware authored by a collection of volunteers, who cannot
make any legal statement about the compliance or non-compliance of
gnuplot or its uses. There is also no warranty whatsoever. Use at your
own risk.

Freund:
For all intent and purpose, any description of what the codes are
doing should be construed as being a note of what we thought the codes
did on our machine on a particular Tuesday of last year. If you're
really lucky, they might do the same for you someday. Then again, do you
really feel *that* lucky?
1.7 Does gnuplot have anything to do with the FSF and the GNU project?
Gnuplot is neither written nor maintained by the FSF. It is not covered
by the General Public License, either. It used to be distributed by the
FSF, however, due to licensing issues it is no longer.
Gnuplot is freeware in the sense that you don't have to pay for it.
However it is not freeware in the sense that you would be allowed to
distribute a modified version of your gnuplot freely. Please read and
accept the Copyright file in your distribution.
1.8 Where do I get further information?
See the main gnuplot web page http://www.gnuplot.info and references
therein, mainly gnuplot links http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/links.html.
Some documentation and tutorials are available in other languages than
English. See http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/help.html, section
"Localized learning pages about gnuplot", for the most up-to-date list.
