Stephenson) - - (Based on the BISON general public license, - copyright 1988 Richard M. Stallman) - - Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this - license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also use this wording to - make the terms for other programs. - - The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the mercy of -those companies. By contrast, our general public license is intended to give -everyone the right to share NetHack. To make sure that you get the rights we -want you to have, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you -these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. Hence this license -agreement. - - Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away -copies of NetHack, that you receive source code or else can get it if you -want it, that you can change NetHack or use pieces of it in new free -programs, and that you know you can do these things. - - To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to -deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute copies -of NetHack, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You -must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you -must tell them their rights. - - Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds out -that there is no warranty for NetHack. If NetHack is modified by someone -else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is -not what we distributed. - - Therefore we (Mike Stephenson and other holders of NetHack copyrights) make -the following terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or -change NetHack. - - - COPYING POLICIES - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of NetHack source code as -you receive it, in any medium, provided that you keep intact the notices on -all files that refer to copyrights, to this License Agreement, and to the -absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the NetHack -program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program. - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of NetHack or any portion of it, and -copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 1 above -(including distributing this License Agreement), provided that you also do the -following: - - a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you - changed the files and the date of any change; and - - b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that in - whole or in part contains or is a derivative of NetHack or any part - thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties on terms - identical to those contained in this License Agreement (except that you - may choose to grant more extensive warranty protection to some or all - third parties, at your option) - - c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of - transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection - in exchange for a fee. - - 3. You may copy and distribute NetHack (or a portion or derivative of it, -under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of -Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: - - a) accompany it with the complete machine-readable source code, which - must be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, - - b) accompany it with full information as to how to obtain the complete - machine-readable source code from an appropriate archive site. (This - alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution.) - -For these purposes, complete source code means either the full source -distribution as originally released over Usenet or updated copies of the -files in this distribution used to create the object code or executable. - - 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer NetHack except as -expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt otherwise to -copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer NetHack is void and your rights to -use the program under this License agreement shall be automatically -terminated. However, parties who have received computer software programs -from you with this License Agreement will not have their licenses terminated -so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - - -Stated plainly: You are permitted to modify NetHack, or otherwise use parts -of NetHack, provided that you comply with the conditions specified above; -in particular, your modified NetHack or program containing parts of NetHack -must remain freely available as provided in this License Agreement. In -other words, go ahead and share NetHack, but don't try to stop anyone else -from sharing it farther. |
