9 steps to open GPL file
If the user comes across a file named GNU Public Licence Text, but is unable to open it, the first thing to do is to take the following steps:
- Make sure that the operating system where you are trying to open the GNU Public Licence Text file is supported by it. Files with the GPL extension may not be supported by the operating system you are using.
- Check if the gedit or TextEdit, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor program is installed in the system. If there is no such program, install it (or download it earlier).
- Verify that the default application for handling GPL files is one of the following software tools: gedit, TextEdit, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor. If not, open the dialog box with the properties of the GNU Public Licence Text file and use the "Change" button on the "General" tab. Choose one of the gedit, TextEdit, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor applications to open the GPL files.

- Files ripped from external media or downloaded from the Internet may have a damaged structure. In this case, the gedit, TextEdit, Windows Notepad, NotePad++ text editor programs will not be able to open the GNU Public Licence Text file despite their presence in the system. Try to download or copy the file again.
- If it turns out that the GNU Public Licence Text file contains a virus, it will usually be impossible to open it. Such a situation should not be underestimated and such a file should be deleted or moved to quarantine, and the entire system should be scanned.
- GNU Public Licence Text is a file that may have been generated by older program versions. The application the user is trying to open the file in may not be backwards compatible and this prevents GNU Public Licence Text from opening.
- An attempt to open the GNU Public Licence Text file by an un-updated application may fail. Determine the version of your program and, if necessary, install the latest one.
- In some cases, the user initiates the opening of the file with a shortcut that leads to a location where it is not present.
- The inability to open the GNU Public Licence Text file may be due to restrictions imposed on the user by the system administrator.
