|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
|
|
Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
|
|
semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, while
|
|
giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute the
|
|
Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
|
|
reasonable modifications.
|
|
|
|
Definitions:
|
|
|
|
- "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
|
|
Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created
|
|
through textual modification.
|
|
|
|
- "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
|
|
modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the
|
|
Copyright Holder.
|
|
|
|
- "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
|
|
for the package.
|
|
|
|
- "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
|
|
Package.
|
|
|
|
- "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of
|
|
media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on.
|
|
(You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but
|
|
only to the computing community at large as a market that must bear the
|
|
fee.)
|
|
|
|
- "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
|
|
though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means
|
|
that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same
|
|
conditions they received it.
|
|
|
|
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
|
|
Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
|
|
duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
|
|
disclaimers.
|
|
|
|
2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
|
|
derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
|
|
modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
|
|
provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating
|
|
how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least
|
|
ONE of the following:
|
|
|
|
a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
|
|
Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
|
|
equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
|
|
such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
|
|
modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
|
|
|
|
b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or
|
|
organization.
|
|
|
|
c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
|
|
standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a
|
|
separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
|
|
documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
|
|
|
|
4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
|
|
executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
|
|
|
|
a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
|
|
together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
|
|
to get the Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
|
|
Package with your modifications.
|
|
|
|
c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding
|
|
Standard Version executables, giving the non-standard executables
|
|
non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual
|
|
pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
|
|
Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
|
|
|
|
5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
|
|
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package.
|
|
You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may
|
|
distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial)
|
|
programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution
|
|
provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your
|
|
own.
|
|
|
|
6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
|
|
output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under
|
|
the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them,
|
|
and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
|
|
|
|
7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package
|
|
shall not be considered part of this Package.
|
|
|
|
8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
|
|
promote products derived from this software without specific prior
|
|
written permission.
|
|
|
|
9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
|
|
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
|
MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
|
|
|
|
The End
