Cowsay is free software. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3. You may use, redistribute, and/or modify Cowsay under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 or (at your option) any later version.
Additionally, many of the files in Cowsay are licensed under a broader dual-licensing grant of GNU GPL 1 or later and the Artisitic License 1.0. But not _all_ of the files in Cowsay. The exact licensing situation is a little unclear here, and clarifying it is an ongoing project. You may use the entirety of the Cowsay distribution under "GNU GPL 3 or later" terms. If you want to use the other GNU GPL 1, GNU GPL 2, or Artistic License terms, you may need to do research to determine which files are actually licensed under those terms.
A copy of the text of the GNU General Public License version 3 can be found in the LICENSE-GPL-3.0.txt file. A copy of the text of the original Cowsay license application terms can be found in the LICENSE-COWSAY.txt file. Copies of the text of other licenses can be found in other LICENSE-*.txt files.
