|
7 Preamble |
|
8 |
|
9 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a |
|
10 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some |
|
11 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, |
|
12 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute |
|
13 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make |
|
14 reasonable modifications. |
|
15 |
|
16 Definitions: |
|
17 |
|
18 "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the |
|
19 Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files |
|
20 created through textual modification. |
|
21 |
|
22 "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been |
|
23 modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes |
|
24 of the Copyright Holder as specified below. |
|
25 |
|
26 "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or |
|
27 copyrights for the package. |
|
28 |
|
29 "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing |
|
30 this Package. |
|
31 |
|
32 "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the |
|
33 basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, |
|
34 and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the |
|
35 Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large |
|
36 as a market that must bear the fee.) |
|
37 |
|
38 "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item |
|
39 itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. |
|
40 It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it |
|
41 under the same conditions they received it. |
|
42 |
|
43 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the |
|
44 Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you |
|
45 duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. |
|
46 |
|
47 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications |
|
48 derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package |
|
49 modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version. |
|
50 |
|
51 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided |
|
52 that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and |
|
53 when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the |
|
54 following: |
|
55 |
|
56 a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them |
|
57 Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or |
|
58 an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive |
|
59 site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include |
|
60 your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package. |
|
61 |
|
62 b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. |
|
63 |
|
64 c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict |
|
65 with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide |
|
66 a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly |
|
67 documents how it differs from the Standard Version. |
|
68 |
|
69 d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. |
|
70 |
|
71 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or |
|
72 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: |
|
73 |
|
74 a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, |
|
75 together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where |
|
76 to get the Standard Version. |
|
77 |
|
78 b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of |
|
79 the Package with your modifications. |
|
80 |
|
81 c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly |
|
82 document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together |
|
83 with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. |
|
84 |
|
85 d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. |
|
86 |
|
87 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this |
|
88 Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this |
|
89 Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, |
|
90 you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly |
|
91 commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software |
|
92 distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a |
|
93 product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within |
|
94 an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere |
|
95 form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the |
|
96 interpreter is so embedded. |
|
97 |
|
98 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as |
|
99 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall |
|
100 under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated |
|
101 them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this |
|
102 Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this |
|
103 Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a |
|
104 binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall |
|
105 neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it |
|
106 fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do |
|
107 not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this |
|
108 Package. |
|
109 |
|
110 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other |
|
111 languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to |
|
112 emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this |
|
113 Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the |
|
114 equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do |
|
115 not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the |
|
116 regression tests for the language. |
|
117 |
|
118 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always |
|
119 permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, |
|
120 when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible |
|
121 to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be |
|
122 construed as a distribution of this Package. |
|
123 |
|
124 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote |
|
125 products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. |
|
126 |
|
127 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR |
|
128 IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED |
|
129 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
