The - terms of the GNU General Public License still apply as compressing - a program is a special form of linking with our stub. - - Hereby Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer and Laszlo Molnar grant you special - permission to freely use and distribute all UPX compressed programs - (including commercial ones), subject to the following restrictions: - - 1. You must compress your program with a completely unmodified UPX - version; either with our precompiled version, or (at your option) - with a self compiled version of the unmodified UPX sources as - distributed by us. - 2. This also implies that the UPX stub must be completely unmodfied, i.e. - the stub imbedded in your compressed program must be byte-identical - to the stub that is produced by the official unmodified UPX version. - 3. The decompressor and any other code from the stub must exclusively get - used by the unmodified UPX stub for decompressing your program at - program startup. No portion of the stub may get read, copied, - called or otherwise get used or accessed by your program. - - -ANNOTATIONS -=========== - - - You can use a modified UPX version or modified UPX stub only for - programs that are compatible with the GNU General Public License. - - - We grant you special permission to freely use and distribute all UPX - compressed programs. But any modification of the UPX stub (such as, - but not limited to, removing our copyright string or making your - program non-decompressible) will immediately revoke your right to - use and distribute a UPX compressed program. - - - UPX is not a software protection tool; by requiring that you use - the unmodified UPX version for your proprietary programs we - make sure that any user can decompress your program. This protects - both you and your users as nobody can hide malicious code - - any program that cannot be decompressed is highly suspicious - by definition. - - - You can integrate all or part of UPX and UCL into projects that - are compatible with the GNU GPL, but obviously you cannot grant - any special exceptions beyond the GPL for our code in your project. - - - We want to actively support manufacturers of virus scanners and - similar security software. Please contact us if you would like to - incorporate parts of UPX or UCL into such a product. - - - -Markus F.X.J.
