1 Preamble
|
|
2 --------
|
|
3 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
|
|
4 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
|
|
5 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
|
|
6 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
|
|
7 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to
|
|
8 make reasonable modifications.

10 Definitions
|
|
11 -----------
|
|
12 "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
|
|
13 Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created
|
|
14 through textual modification.
|
|
15
|
|
16 "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
|
|
17 modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the
|
|
18 Copyright Holder as specified below.
|
|
19
|
|
20 "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
|
|
21 for the package.
|
|
22
|
|
23 "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
|
|
24 Package.
|
|
25
|
|
26 "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of
|
|
27 media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so
|
|
28 on. (You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder,
|
|
29 but only to the computing community at large as a market that must
|
|
30 bear the fee.)
|
|
31
|
|
32 "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
|
|
33 though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means
|
|
34 that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same
|
|
35 conditions they received it.
|
|
36
|
|
37
|
|
38 You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
|
|
39 Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that
|
|
40 you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
|
|
41 disclaimers.
|
|
42
|
|
43
|
|
44 You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
|
|
45 derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
|
|
46 modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
|
|
47
|
|
48
|
|
49 You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
|
|
50 provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
|
|
51 stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
|
|
52 at least ONE of the following:
|
|
53
|
|
54 - place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
|
|
55 Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or
|
|
56 an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major
|
|
57 archive site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright
|
|
58 Holder to include your modifications in the Standard Version of the
|
|
59 Package.
|
|
60 - use the modified Package only within your corporation or
|
|
61 organization.
|
|
62 - rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
|
|
63 with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
|
|
64 a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
|
|
65 documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
|
|
66 - make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
|
|
67
|
|
68
|
|
69 You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
|
|
70 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
|
|
71
|
|
72 - distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
|
|
73 together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on
|
|
74 where to get the Standard Version.
|
|
75 - accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
|
|
76 Package with your modifications.
|
|
77 - give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
|
|
78 document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
|
|
79 with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
|
|
80 - make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
|
|
81
|
|
82
|
|
83 You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
|
|
84 Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
|
|
85 Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
|
|
86 you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
|
|
87 commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
|
|
88 software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package
|
|
89 as a product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter
|
|
90 within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as
|
|
91 a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard
|
|
92 Version of the interpreter is so embedded.
|
|
93
|
|
94
|
|
95 The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
|
|
96 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
|
|
97 under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated
|
|
98 them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
|
|
99 Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
|
|
100 Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
|
|
101 binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
|
|
102 neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
|
|
103 fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you
|
|
104 do not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of
|
|
105 this Package.
|
|
106
|
|
107
|
|
108 C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages)
|
|
109 supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate
|
|
110 subroutines and variables of the language defined by this Package
|
|
111 shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the equivalent
|
|
112 of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do not change
|
|
113 the language in any way that would cause it to fail the regression
|
|
114 tests for the language.
|
|
115
|
|
116
|
|
117 Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
|
|
118 permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
|
|
119 when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces
|
|
120 visible to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall
|
|
121 not be construed as a distribution of this Package.
|
|
122
|
|
123
|
|
124 The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
|
|
125 products derived from this software without specific prior written
|
|
126 permission.

127

|
129 THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
|

130 WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

131 MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
