(You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright + Holder, but only to the computing community at large as a market + that must bear the fee.) + + "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item + itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It + also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it under + the same conditions they received it. + + 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of + the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided + that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and + associated disclaimers. + 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications + derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A + Package modified in such a way shall still be considered the + Standard Version. + 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, + provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file + stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you + do at least ONE of the following: + + a. place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make + them Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to + Usenet or an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a + major archive site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the + Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard + Version of the Package. + b. use the modified Package only within your corporation or + organization. + c. rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict + with standard executables, which must also be provided, and + provide a separate manual page for each non-standard executable + that clearly documents how it differs from the Standard Version. + d. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. + + You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or + executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: + + a. distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library + files, together with instructions (in the manual page or + equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version. + b. accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the + Package with your modifications. + c. give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly + document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together + with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. + d. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. + + You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this + Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this + Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, + you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly + commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) + software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package + as a product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter + within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as + a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard + Version of the interpreter is so embedded. + + The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as + output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall + under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated + them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this + Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this + Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a + binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall + neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it + fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you + do not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of + this Package. + + C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other + languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to + emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this + Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the + equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do + not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the + regression tests for the language. + + Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always + permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, + when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces + visible to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall + not be construed as a distribution of this Package. + + The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or + promote products derived from this software without specific prior + written permission. + + THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED + WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF + MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. + + The End |
