|
159 |
a notice in the Original Software prohibiting it from being distributed or

|
ilia@18403
|
162 |
version of the License under which You originally received the Covered

217 |
INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY�S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
|
ilia@18403
|
218 |
PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
|
ilia@18403
|
219 |
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND
|
ilia@18403
|
220 |
LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
|
ilia@18403
|
222 |
The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
|
ilia@18403
|
223 |
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" (as that
|
ilia@18403
|
224 |
term is defined at 48 C.F.R. �252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer
|
ilia@18403
|
225 |
software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept.
|
ilia@18403
|
226 |
1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through
|
ilia@18403
|
227 |
227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software
|
ilia@18403
|
228 |
with only those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is
|
ilia@18403
|
229 |
in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or provision
|
ilia@18403
|
230 |
that addresses Government rights in computer software under this License.
|
ilia@18403
|
231 |
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
|
ilia@18403
|
232 |
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter
|
ilia@18403
|
233 |
hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such
|
ilia@18403
|
234 |
provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
|
ilia@18403
|
235 |
enforceable. This License shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction
|
ilia@18403
|
236 |
specified in a notice contained within the Original Software (except to the
|
ilia@18403
|
237 |
extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding such
|
ilia@18403
|
238 |
jurisdiction�s conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this
|
ilia@18403
|
239 |
License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the
|
ilia@18403
|
240 |
jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained within the Original
|
ilia@18403
|
241 |
Software, with the losing party responsible for costs, including, without
|
ilia@18403
|
242 |
limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys� fees and expenses. The
|
ilia@18403
|
243 |
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
|
ilia@18403
|
244 |
Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that
|
ilia@18403
|
245 |
the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not
|
ilia@18403
|
246 |
apply to this License. You agree that You alone are responsible for compliance
|
ilia@18403
|
247 |
with the United States export administration regulations (and the export
|
ilia@18403
|
248 |
control laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use, distribute or
|
ilia@18403
|
249 |
otherwise make available any Covered Software.
|
ilia@18403
|
250 |
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
|
ilia@18403
|
251 |
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible
|
ilia@18403
|
252 |
for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization
|
ilia@18403
|
253 |
of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and
|
ilia@18403
|
254 |
Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
|
ilia@18403
|
255 |
herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license

269 |
Preamble
|
ilia@18403
|
270 |
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
|
ilia@18403
|
271 |
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
|
ilia@18403
|
272 |
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
|
ilia@18403
|
273 |
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most
|
ilia@18403
|
274 |
of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
|
ilia@18403
|
275 |
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
|
ilia@18403
|
276 |
covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
|
ilia@18403
|
277 |
your programs, too.
|
ilia@18403
|
278 |
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
|
ilia@18403
|
279 |
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
|
ilia@18403
|
280 |
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
|
ilia@18403
|
281 |
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
|
ilia@18403
|
282 |
the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
|
ilia@18403
|
283 |
can do these things.
|
ilia@18403
|
284 |
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
|
ilia@18403
|
285 |
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
|
ilia@18403
|
286 |
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
|
ilia@18403
|
287 |
software, or if you modify it.
|
ilia@18403
|
288 |
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
|
ilia@18403
|
289 |
a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make
|
ilia@18403
|
290 |
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
|
ilia@18403
|
291 |
these terms so they know their rights.
|
ilia@18403
|
292 |
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
|
ilia@18403
|
293 |
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
|
ilia@18403
|
294 |
and/or modify the software.
|
ilia@18403
|
295 |
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
|
ilia@18403
|
296 |
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
|
ilia@18403
|
297 |
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
|
ilia@18403
|
298 |
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
|
ilia@18403
|
299 |
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
|
ilia@18403
|
300 |
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish
|
ilia@18403
|
301 |
to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually
|
ilia@18403
|
302 |
obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent
|
ilia@18403
|
303 |
this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
|
ilia@18403
|
304 |
free use or not licensed at all.
|
ilia@18403
|
305 |
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
|
ilia@18403
|
306 |
follow.
|
ilia@18403
|
307 |
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
ilia@18403
|
308 |
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
|
ilia@18403
|
309 |
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
|
ilia@18403
|
310 |
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
|
ilia@18403
|
311 |
or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
|
ilia@18403
|
312 |
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
|
ilia@18403
|
313 |
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
|
ilia@18403
|
314 |
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
|
ilia@18403
|
315 |
limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
ilia@18403
|
316 |
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
|
ilia@18403
|
317 |
this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
|
ilia@18403
|
318 |
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
|
ilia@18403
|
319 |
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
|
ilia@18403
|
320 |
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
|
ilia@18403
|
321 |
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
|
ilia@18403
|
322 |
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
ilia@18403
|
323 |
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
|
ilia@18403
|
324 |
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
|
ilia@18403
|
325 |
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
|
ilia@18403
|
326 |
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
ilia@18403
|
327 |
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
|
ilia@18403
|
328 |
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
ilia@18403
|
329 |
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
|
ilia@18403
|
330 |
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
|
ilia@18403
|
331 |
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
|
ilia@18403
|
332 |
these conditions:
|
ilia@18403
|
333 |
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
|
ilia@18403
|
334 |
you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
ilia@18403
|
335 |
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
|
ilia@18403
|
336 |
part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
|
ilia@18403
|
337 |
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
|
ilia@18403
|
338 |
License.
|
ilia@18403
|
339 |
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
|
ilia@18403
|
340 |
must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
|
ilia@18403
|
341 |
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
|
ilia@18403
|
342 |
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
|
ilia@18403
|
343 |
you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
|
ilia@18403
|
344 |
conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
|
ilia@18403
|
345 |
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
|
ilia@18403
|
346 |
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
|
ilia@18403
|
347 |
an announcement.)
|
ilia@18403
|
348 |
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
|
ilia@18403
|
349 |
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
|
ilia@18403
|
350 |
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
|
ilia@18403
|
351 |
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
|
ilia@18403
|
352 |
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
|
ilia@18403
|
353 |
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
|
ilia@18403
|
354 |
of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
|
ilia@18403
|
355 |
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
|
ilia@18403
|
356 |
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
|
ilia@18403
|
357 |
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
|
ilia@18403
|
358 |
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
|
ilia@18403
|
359 |
the Program.
|
ilia@18403
|
360 |
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
|
ilia@18403
|
361 |
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
|
ilia@18403
|
362 |
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
|
ilia@18403
|
363 |
License.
|
ilia@18403
|
364 |
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
|
ilia@18403
|
365 |
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
|
ilia@18403
|
366 |
2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
|
ilia@18403
|
367 |
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,
|
ilia@18403
|
368 |
which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
|
ilia@18403
|
369 |
customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
ilia@18403
|
370 |
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
|
ilia@18403
|
371 |
any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
|
ilia@18403
|
372 |
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
|
ilia@18403
|
373 |
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
|
ilia@18403
|
374 |
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
ilia@18403
|
375 |
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
|
ilia@18403
|
376 |
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
|
ilia@18403
|
377 |
distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable
|
ilia@18403
|
378 |
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
|
ilia@18403
|
379 |
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
|
ilia@18403
|
380 |
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
|
ilia@18403
|
381 |
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
|
ilia@18403
|
382 |
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
|
ilia@18403
|
383 |
of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed
|
ilia@18403
|
384 |
need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
|
ilia@18403
|
385 |
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
|
ilia@18403
|
386 |
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
|
ilia@18403
|
387 |
accompanies the executable.
|
ilia@18403
|
388 |
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
|
ilia@18403
|
389 |
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
|
ilia@18403
|
390 |
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
|
ilia@18403
|
391 |
third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
ilia@18403
|
392 |
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
|
ilia@18403
|
393 |
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
|
ilia@18403
|
394 |
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
|
ilia@18403
|
395 |
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
|
ilia@18403
|
396 |
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
|
ilia@18403
|
397 |
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
ilia@18403
|
398 |
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
|
ilia@18403
|
399 |
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
|
ilia@18403
|
400 |
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
|
ilia@18403
|
401 |
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
|
ilia@18403
|
402 |
any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
|
ilia@18403
|
403 |
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
ilia@18403
|
404 |
the Program or works based on it.
|
ilia@18403
|
405 |
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
|
ilia@18403
|
406 |
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
|
ilia@18403
|
407 |
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
|
ilia@18403
|
408 |
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
|
ilia@18403
|
409 |
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
|
ilia@18403
|
410 |
third parties to this License.
|
ilia@18403
|
411 |
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
ilia@18403
|
412 |
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
|
ilia@18403
|
413 |
are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
|
ilia@18403
|
414 |
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
|
ilia@18403
|
415 |
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
|
ilia@18403
|
416 |
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
|
ilia@18403
|
417 |
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
|
ilia@18403
|
418 |
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
|
ilia@18403
|
419 |
of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
|
ilia@18403
|
420 |
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
|
ilia@18403
|
421 |
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
|
ilia@18403
|
422 |
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
|
ilia@18403
|
423 |
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
|
ilia@18403
|
424 |
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
|
ilia@18403
|
425 |
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
|
ilia@18403
|
426 |
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
|
ilia@18403
|
427 |
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
|
ilia@18403
|
428 |
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
|
ilia@18403
|
429 |
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
|
ilia@18403
|
430 |
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
ilia@18403
|
431 |
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
|
ilia@18403
|
432 |
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
|
ilia@18403
|
433 |
choice.
|
ilia@18403
|
434 |
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
|
ilia@18403
|
435 |
consequence of the rest of this License.
|
ilia@18403
|
436 |
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
|
ilia@18403
|
437 |
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
|
ilia@18403
|
438 |
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
|
ilia@18403
|
439 |
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
|
ilia@18403
|
440 |
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
|
ilia@18403
|
441 |
case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
|
ilia@18403
|
442 |
this License.
|
ilia@18403
|
443 |
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
|
ilia@18403
|
444 |
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
|
ilia@18403
|
445 |
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
|
ilia@18403
|
446 |
or concerns.
|
ilia@18403
|
447 |
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
|
ilia@18403
|
448 |
a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version",
|
ilia@18403
|
449 |
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
|
ilia@18403
|
450 |
version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
|
ilia@18403
|
451 |
the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
|
ilia@18403
|
452 |
any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
ilia@18403
|
453 |
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
|
ilia@18403
|
454 |
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
|
ilia@18403
|
455 |
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
|
ilia@18403
|
456 |
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
|
ilia@18403
|
457 |
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
|
ilia@18403
|
458 |
all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
|
ilia@18403
|
459 |
software generally.
|
ilia@18403
|
460 |
NO WARRANTY
|
ilia@18403
|
461 |
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
|
ilia@18403
|
462 |
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
|
ilia@18403
|
463 |
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
|
ilia@18403
|
464 |
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
|
ilia@18403
|
465 |
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
|
ilia@18403
|
466 |
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
|
ilia@18403
|
467 |
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
|
ilia@18403
|
468 |
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
ilia@18403
|
469 |
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
|
ilia@18403
|
470 |
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
|
ilia@18403
|
471 |
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
|
ilia@18403
|
472 |
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
|
ilia@18403
|
473 |
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
|
ilia@18403
|
474 |
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
|
ilia@18403
|
475 |
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
|
ilia@18403
|
476 |
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
ilia@18403
|
477 |
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
ilia@18403
|
478 |
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
ilia@18403
|
479 |
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
|
ilia@18403
|
480 |
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
|
ilia@18403
|
481 |
which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
ilia@18403
|
482 |
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
|
ilia@18403
|
483 |
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
|
ilia@18403
|
484 |
of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
|
ilia@18403
|
485 |
pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
ilia@18403
|
486 |
One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
|
ilia@18403
|
487 |

498 |
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
ilia@18403
|
499 |
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
|
ilia@18403
|
500 |
starts in an interactive mode:
|
ilia@18403
|
501 |
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

ilia@18403
|
502 |
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This
|
ilia@18403
|
503 |
is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
|
ilia@18403
|
504 |
conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
ilia@18403
|
505 |
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
ilia@18403
|
506 |
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
|
ilia@18403
|
507 |
called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
|
ilia@18403
|
508 |
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
|
ilia@18403
|
509 |
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
|
ilia@18403
|
510 |
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is
|
ilia@18403
|
511 |
a sample; alter the names:
|
ilia@18403
|

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
|
ilia@18403
|
517 |
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider
|
ilia@18403
|
518 |
it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If
|
ilia@18403
|
519 |
this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead
|
ilia@18403
|
520 |
of this License.
|
ilia@18403
|
521 |
"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL VERSION 2
|
ilia@18403
|
522 |
Certain source files distributed by Oracle America, Inc. and/or its affiliates
|
ilia@18403
|
523 |
are subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPLv2,
|
ilia@18403
|
524 |
based on the GNU Project exception for its Classpath libraries, known as the
|
ilia@18403
|
525 |
GNU Classpath Exception, but only where Oracle has expressly included in the
|
ilia@18403
|
526 |
particular source file's header the words "Oracle designates this particular
|
ilia@18403
|
527 |
file as subject to the "Classpath" exception as provided by Oracle in the
|
ilia@18403
|
528 |
LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
|
ilia@18403
|
529 |
You should also note that Oracle includes multiple, independent programs in
|
ilia@18403
|
530 |
this software package. Some of those programs are provided under licenses
|
ilia@18403
|
531 |
deemed incompatible with the GPLv2 by the Free Software Foundation and others.
|
ilia@18403
|
532 |
For example, the package includes programs licensed under the Apache License,
|
ilia@18403
|
533 |
Version 2.0. Such programs are licensed to you under their original licenses.
|
ilia@18403
|
534 |
Oracle facilitates your further distribution of this package by adding the
|
ilia@18403
|
535 |
Classpath Exception to the necessary parts of its GPLv2 code, which permits you
|
ilia@18403
|
536 |
to use that code in combination with other independent modules not licensed
|
ilia@18403
|
537 |
under the GPLv2. However, note that this would not permit you to commingle code
|
ilia@18403
|
538 |
under an incompatible license with Oracle's GPLv2 licensed code by, for
|
ilia@18403
|
539 |
example, cutting and pasting such code into a file also containing Oracle's
|
ilia@18403
|
540 |
GPLv2 licensed code and then distributing the result.
|
ilia@18403
|
541 |
Additionally, if you were to remove the Classpath Exception from any of the
|
ilia@18403
|
542 |
files to which it applies and distribute the result, you would likely be
|
ilia@18403
|
543 |
required to license some or all of the other code in that distribution under
|
ilia@18403
|
544 |
the GPLv2 as well, and since the GPLv2 is incompatible with the license terms
|
ilia@18403
|
545 |
of some items included in the distribution by Oracle, removing the Classpath
|
ilia@18403
|
546 |
Exception could therefore effectively compromise your ability to further
|
ilia@18403
|
547 |
distribute the package.
|
ilia@18403
|
548 |
Proceed with caution and we recommend that you obtain the advice of a lawyer
|
ilia@18403
|
549 |
skilled in open source matters before removing the Classpath Exception or
|
ilia@18403
|
550 |
making modifications to this package which may subsequently be redistributed
|
ilia@18403
|
551 |
and/or involve the use of third party software.
|
ilia@18403
|
552 |
CLASSPATH EXCEPTION
|
ilia@18403
|
553 |
Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
|
ilia@18403
|
554 |
combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU
|
ilia@18403
|
555 |
General Public License version 2 cover the whole combination.
|
ilia@18403
|
556 |
As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
|
ilia@18403
|
557 |
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
|
ilia@18403
|
558 |
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and
|
ilia@18403
|
559 |
to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice,
|
ilia@18403
|
560 |
provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and
|
ilia@18403
|
561 |
conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module
|
ilia@18403
|
562 |
which is not derived from or based on this library. If you modify this library,
|
ilia@18403
|
563 |
you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not
|
ilia@18403
|
564 |
obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception
|
ilia@18403
|
565 |
statement from your version.
