Although this software is without cost, - it is not released under Copyleft or GPL, and there are differences - which you should read. Your use of this software package constitutes - your binding acceptance without restriction. - - This software is without cost - - The Floodgap Free Software License (FFSL) has one overriding mandate: - that software using it, or derivative works based on software that uses - it, must be free. By free we mean simply "free as in beer" -- you may - put your work into open or closed source packages as you see fit, - whether or not you choose to release your changes or updates publicly, - but you must not ask any fee for it. (There are certain exceptions for - for-profit use which we will discuss below.) - - Definitions and terms - - Author - The declared copyright owner of this software package. - - Binary - A pre-compiled or pre-interpreted bytecode or machine language - representation of a software package not designed for further - modification and tied to a particular platform or architecture. - - Derivative work - Any distribution (q.v.) that contains any modification to or - deviation from the official reference distribution (q.v.); or - any software package significantly based on or integrally - including the source code for its features, including but not - limited to supersets; subsets of a significant proportion; - in-place patched changes to source or binary files; linking in - as a library; binary-only distributions if the original package - included source (even if the source was not modified prior to - compilation); or translations to another programming language, - architecture or operating system environment. Derivative works - of packages released under this license are also considered - subject to this license. - - However, a software package that requires this package but does - not include it or is not based upon it, even if it will not - operate without it, is not considered a derivative work. For - example, interpreted programs requiring an interpreter issued - under this license, assuming they are not distributed with any - portion of the interpreter, are not derivative works. - - Distribution - A packaged release of this software, either the author's - original work (the "reference distribution") or a derivative - work based upon it. - - Reference distribution - A packaged release of this software explicitly designated as the - official release, written by or on behalf of the Author with his - or her explicit designation as official. Only exact copies of - the reference distribution may be called reference - distributions; all other forms are derivative works. - - Source code - The human-readable programming instructions of the package which - might be easily read as text and subsequently edited, but - requiring compilation or interpretation into binary before being - directly useable. - - What you are permitted to do under this license - - Pursuant to the remainder of the terms below, - * You may freely use, copy, and disseminate this software package for - any non-commercial purpose as well as the commercial purposes - permitted below. - * You may freely modify this package, including source code if - available. Your modifications need not be released, although you - are encouraged to do so. - * You may release your derivative works based upon this software in - purely binary (non-source) form if you choose. You are not - obligated to release any portion of your source code openly, - although you are encouraged to do so. - * If this package is a tool used for generation, compilation or - maintenance of works, including but not limited to readable - documents, software packages or images (for example, compilers, - interpreters, translators, linkers, editors, assemblers or - typesetters), you may freely use it for that purpose, commercial or - otherwise, as the works made by this package are not considered - subject to this license unless specified otherwise within and may - be distributed under any desired license and/or offered for sale or - rental. Any run-time library or run-time code section linked into - the output by a compiler or similar code-generating tool governed - by this license is considered to be an integral part of the output, - and its presence does not subject the generated work to this - license either. (This is, of course, assuming you are not using - said tools to generate a derivative work based on this package in - violation of the other license terms.) - However, if you are linking or including a separately distributed - library that is under this license, no matter what tool you are - using to do the linking or inclusion, you are then considered to be - making a derivative work based on that library and your work does - fall under this license. To avoid this, do not include the library - with your work (even though it needs the library to function) and - instead offer the library separately without cost. - * In addition to non-commercial use and the uses permitted above, you - may use this software package in any for-profit endeavour as long - as it does not involve the specific sale or rental of this package. - Some specific but by no means exhaustive examples are listed below. - Note that some of these situations may require additional action be - taken to ensure compliance. - + If this package or a derivative work allows you to serve data - or make data available to others (for example, web servers, - mail servers, gopher servers, etc.), you may use it to serve - any commercial content or in any commercial setting whether - you choose to charge a fee or not, as you are considered to be - earning income from the content you serve and/or the services - facilitated by your business and not from the sale of this - package itself. (This is, of course, assuming that you are not - charging a fee for sale or rental of this package or a - derivative work based on this package in violation of the - other license terms.) Similarly, any data you may acquire from - the use of this package is yours, and not governed by this - license in any way even if for-profit. - + If you are selling a product that includes this package or a - derivative work either as part of your product's requirements - for function or as a bundled extra, such as an operating - system distribution, you may charge a fee for your product as - long as you also make this package or said derivative work - available for free separately (such as by download or link - back to this package's site), as you are considered to be - requesting a fee for your own product and the package is - merely included as a convenience to your users. - + If you offer installation of this package or a derivative work - as a service, you may charge a fee for the act of installation - as long as you also make this package or said derivative work - available for free (such as by download or link back to this - package's site), as you are considered to be requesting a fee - for the act of installation and not for the software you are - installing. - + The Author may also grant, in writing, other specified - exemptions for your particular commercial purpose that do not - contravene the spirit of this license or any license terms - this package additionally carries. - * In your derivative works based on this package, you may choose to - offer warranty support or guarantees of performance. This does not - in any way make the original Author legally, financially or in any - other respect liable for claims issued under your warranty or - guarantee, and you are solely responsible for the fulfillment of - your terms even if the Author of the work you have based your work - upon offers his or her own. - * In your derivative works based on this package, you may further - restrict the acceptable uses of your package or situations in which - it may be employed as long as you clearly state that your terms - apply only to your derivative work and not to the original - reference distribution. However, you may not countermand or ignore, - directly or otherwise, any restriction already made in the - reference distribution's license, including in this document - itself, in similar fashion to other licenses allowing compatible - licenses to co-govern a particular package's use. - - What you must not do under this license - - Remember that these limits apply only to redistribution of a reference - distribution, or to a true derivative work. If your project does not - include this package or code based upon it, even if it requires this - package to function, it is not considered subject to this license or - these restrictions. - * You must not charge a fee for purchase or rental of this package or - any derivative work based on this package. It is still possible to - use this package in a commercial environment, however -- see What - you are permitted to do under this license. - * You must not countermand or ignore, directly or otherwise, the - restrictions already extant in this package's license in your - derivative work based on it. As a corollary, you must not place - your derivative work under a secondary license or description of - terms that conflicts with it (for example, this license is not - compatible with the GNU Public License). - * You must not label any modified distribution of this package as a - reference or otherwise official distribution without the permission - of the original Author or Authors. You must clearly specify that - your modified work is a derivative work, including binary-only - releases if the original included source code and you do not even - if you did not modify the source prior to compilation. - - What you must do under this license - - * You must agree to all terms specified (agreement to which is - unconditionally signified by your usage, modification or - repurposing of this package), or to remove the package from your - computer and not use it further. - * In the absence of any specific offer for redress or assistance - under warranty or guarantee of performance that the Author of this - package might make, you must agree to accept any and all liability - that may come from the use of this package, proper or improper, - real or imagined, and certify without condition that you use this - product at your own risk with no guarantee of function, - merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. If such offer - of redress or assistance is extended, it is fulfillable only by the - Author who extended the offer, which might not necessarily be this - Author, nor might it be the Authors of any packages it might be - based upon. - * If you choose to publicly redistribute this package or create a - derivative work based on this package, you must make it available - without any purchase or rental fee of any kind. - * If you choose to create a derivative work based on this package, - your derivative work must be copyrighted, and must be governed - under (at a minimum) the original package's license, which will - necessarily include all terms noted here. As such, if you choose to - distribute your derivative work, you must include a human-readable - license in your distribution containing all restrictions of use, - necessarily including this license, and any additional restrictions - the Author has mandated that do not contravene this license which - you and users of your derivative work must also honour. - * If you choose to create and distribute a derivative work based on - this package, your derivative work must clearly make reference to - this package, any other packages your work or the original work - might be based on, and all applicable copyrights, either in your - documentation, your work's standard human-readable output, or both. - A suggested method might be - - Contains or is based on the Foo software package. - Copyright (C) 2112 D.
