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

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