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 those made Freely Available, 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 network + archive site allowing unrestricted access to them, 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. + + e) permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified Package + permission to make your modifications Freely Available + in some specific way. + + +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) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly + document 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. + + e) offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your + modifications, by mail order. + +5. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this Package. +If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any fee you choose +for that support. You may not charge a license fee for the right to use +this Package itself. You may distribute this Package in aggregate with +other (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) programs as part of a +larger (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) software distribution, +and charge license fees for other parts of that software distribution, +provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own. +If the Package includes an interpreter, You may embed this Package's +interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be +construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete +Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded. + +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 whoever generated +them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this +Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this +Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a +binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall +neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it +fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do +not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this +Package. + +7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other +languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to +emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this +Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the +equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do +not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the +regression tests for the language. + +8. Aggregation of the Standard Version of the Package with a commercial +distribution is always permitted provided that the use of this Package +is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's +interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial distribution. +Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this Package. + +9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote +products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. + +10. 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 |
