95 software (except as part of the Contributor Version) or other devices; or (3)
96 under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
97 Modifications made by that Contributor.
98 3. Distribution Obligations.
99 3.1. Availability of Source Code.
100 Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in
101 Executable form must also be made available in Source Code form and that Source
102 Code form must be distributed only under the terms of this License. You must
103 include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code form of the
104 Covered Software You distribute or otherwise make available. You must inform
105 recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form as to how they can
106 obtain such Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or
107 through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
109 The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are governed by
110 the terms of this License. You represent that You believe Your Modifications
111 are Your original creation(s) and/or You have sufficient rights to grant the
112 rights conveyed by this License.
113 3.3. Required Notices.
114 You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that identifies You as
115 the Contributor of the Modification. You may not remove or alter any copyright,
116 patent or trademark notices contained within the Covered Software, or any
117 notices of licensing or any descriptive text giving attribution to any
118 Contributor or the Initial Developer.
119 3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
120 You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in Source Code
121 form that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the
122 recipients� rights hereunder. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee
123 for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more
124 recipients of Covered Software. However, you may do so only on Your own behalf,
125 and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it
126 absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
127 obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the
128 Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
129 Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
130 indemnity or liability terms You offer.
131 3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
132 You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under the terms
133 of this License or under the terms of a license of Your choice, which may
134 contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance
135 with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable form
136 does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient�s rights in the Source Code
137 form from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Covered
138 Software in Executable form under a different license, You must make it
139 absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are offered by
140 You alone, not by the Initial Developer or Contributor. You hereby agree to
141 indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability
142 incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such
145 You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with other code not
146 governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a
147 single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this
148 License are fulfilled for the Covered Software.
149 4. Versions of the License.
151 Oracle Corp. is the initial license steward and may publish revised and/or new
152 versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be given a
153 distinguishing version number. Except as provided in Section 4.3, no one other
154 than the license steward has the right to modify this License.
155 4.2. Effect of New Versions.
156 You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered
157 Software available under the terms of the version of the License under which
158 You originally received the Covered Software. If the Initial Developer includes
159 a notice in the Original Software prohibiting it from being distributed or
160 otherwise made available under any subsequent version of the License, You must
161 distribute and make the Covered Software available under the terms of the
162 version of the License under which You originally received the Covered
163 Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use, distribute or otherwise make
164 the Covered Software available under the terms of any subsequent version of the
165 License published by the license steward.
166 4.3. Modified Versions.
167 When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license for Your
168 Original Software, You may create and use a modified version of this License if
169 You: (a) rename the license and remove any references to the name of the
170 license steward (except to note that the license differs from this License);
171 and (b) otherwise make it clear that the license contains terms which differ
173 5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
174 COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT
175 WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
176 LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS,
177 MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK
178 AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
179 ANY COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL
180 DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING,
181 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART
182 OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
183 UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
185 6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
186 if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30
187 days of becoming aware of the breach. Provisions which, by their nature, must
188 remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
189 6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment
190 actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or
191 Contributor against whom You assert such claim is referred to as "Participant")
192 alleging that the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where
193 the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where the Participant
194 is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any
195 and all rights granted directly or indirectly to You by such Participant, the
196 Initial Developer (if the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all
197 Contributors under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
198 notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically at the
199 expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within such 60 day period
200 You withdraw Your claim with respect to the Participant Software against such
201 Participant either unilaterally or pursuant to a written agreement with
203 6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above, all end user
204 licenses that have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
205 prior to termination (excluding licenses granted to You by any distributor)
206 shall survive termination.
207 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
208 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
209 NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY
210 OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF
211 ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
212 INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
213 LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER
214 FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN
215 IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS
216 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
217 INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY�S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
218 PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
219 LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND
220 LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
221 8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
222 The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
223 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" (as that
224 term is defined at 48 C.F.R. �252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer
225 software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept.
226 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through
227 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software
228 with only those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is
229 in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or provision
230 that addresses Government rights in computer software under this License.
232 This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter
233 hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such
234 provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
235 enforceable. This License shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction
236 specified in a notice contained within the Original Software (except to the
237 extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding such
238 jurisdiction�s conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this
239 License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the
240 jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained within the Original
241 Software, with the losing party responsible for costs, including, without
242 limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys� fees and expenses. The
243 application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
244 Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that
245 the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not
246 apply to this License. You agree that You alone are responsible for compliance
247 with the United States export administration regulations (and the export
248 control laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use, distribute or
249 otherwise make available any Covered Software.
250 10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
251 As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible
252 for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization
253 of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and
254 Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
255 herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
256 NOTICE PURSUANT TO SECTION 9 OF THE COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE
258 The code released under the CDDL shall be governed by the laws of the State of
259 California (excluding conflict-of-law provisions). Any litigation relating to
260 this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the
261 Northern District of California and the state courts of the State of
262 California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California.
263 The GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2, June 1991
265 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite
266 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
267 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
268 document, but changing it is not allowed.
270 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
271 and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
272 guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
273 software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most
274 of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
275 authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
276 covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
278 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
279 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
280 distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
281 that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
282 the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
284 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
285 you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
286 translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
287 software, or if you modify it.
288 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
289 a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make
290 sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
291 these terms so they know their rights.
292 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
293 offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
294 and/or modify the software.
295 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
296 everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
297 software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
298 know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
299 by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
300 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish
301 to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually
302 obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent
303 this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
304 free use or not licensed at all.
305 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
307 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
308 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
309 placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
310 this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
311 or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
312 derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
313 Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
314 translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
315 limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
316 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
317 this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
318 restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
319 constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
320 running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
321 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
322 you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
323 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
324 disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
325 and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
326 Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
327 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
328 at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
329 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
330 forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
331 or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
333 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
334 you changed the files and the date of any change.
335 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
336 part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
337 licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
339 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
340 must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
341 ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
342 copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
343 you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
344 conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
345 (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
346 such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
348 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
349 sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
350 considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
351 its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
352 works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
353 work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
354 of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
355 whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
356 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
357 rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
358 right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
360 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
361 Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
362 distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
364 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
365 Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
366 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
367 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,
368 which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
369 customarily used for software interchange; or,
370 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
371 any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
372 source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
373 source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
374 medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
375 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
376 corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
377 distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable
378 form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
379 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
380 modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
381 source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
382 definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
383 of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed
384 need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
385 binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
386 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
387 accompanies the executable.
388 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
389 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
390 code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
391 third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
392 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
393 expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
394 sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
395 your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
396 rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
397 long as such parties remain in full compliance.
398 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
399 However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
400 or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
401 accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
402 any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
403 do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
404 the Program or works based on it.
405 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
406 the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
407 copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
408 You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
409 rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
410 third parties to this License.
411 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
412 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
413 are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
414 contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
415 conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
416 simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
417 obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
418 For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
419 of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
420 you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
421 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
422 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
423 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
424 the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
425 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
426 other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
427 section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
428 distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
429 people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
430 distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
431 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
432 distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
434 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
435 consequence of the rest of this License.
436 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
437 countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
438 copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
439 geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
440 distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
441 case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
443 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
444 General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
445 spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
447 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
448 a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version",
449 you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
450 version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
451 the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
452 any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
453 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
454 whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
455 permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
456 write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
457 Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
458 all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
461 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
462 THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
463 STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
464 PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
465 INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
466 FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
467 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
468 ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
469 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
470 ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
471 PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
472 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
473 INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
474 BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
475 FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
476 OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
477 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
478 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
479 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
480 use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
481 which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
482 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
483 them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
484 of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
485 pointer to where the full notice is found.
486 One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
488 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
489 the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
490 Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
492 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY
493 WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
494 PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
495 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with
496 this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple
497 Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
498 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
499 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
500 starts in an interactive mode:
501 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
502 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This
503 is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
504 conditions; type `show c' for details.
505 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
506 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
507 called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
508 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
509 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
510 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is
511 a sample; alter the names:
512 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
513 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
514 signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989

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