| The Alasir Licence |
| |
| |
| This is a free software. It's provided as-is and carries absolutely no |
| warranty or responsibility by the author and the contributors, neither in |
| general nor in particular. No matter if this software is able or unable to |
| cause any damage to your or third party's computer hardware, software, or any |
| other asset available, neither the author nor a separate contributor may be |
| found liable for any harm or its consequences resulting from either proper or |
| improper use of the software, even if advised of the possibility of certain |
| injury as such and so forth. |
| |
| The software isn't a public domain, it's a copyrighted one. In no event |
| shall the author's or a separate contributor's copyright be denied or violated |
| otherwise. No copyright may be removed unless together with the code |
| contributed to the software by a holder of the respective copyright. A |
| copyright itself indicates the rights of ownership over the code contributed. |
| Back and forth, the author is defined as the one who holds the oldest |
| copyright over the software. Furthermore, the software is defined as either |
| source or binary computer code, which is organised in the form of a single |
| computer file usually. |
| |
| The software (the whole or a part of it) is prohibited from being sold or |
| leased in any form or manner with the only possible exceptions: |
| |
| a) money may be charged for a physical medium used to transfer the software; |
| b) money may be charged for optional warranty or support services related to |
| the software. |
| |
| Nevertheless, if the software (the whole or a part of it) is desired to |
| become an object of sale or lease (the whole or a part of it), then a separate |
| non-exclusive licence agreement must be negotiated from the author. Benefits |
| accrued should be distributed between the contributors or likewise at the |
| author's option. |
| |
| Whenever and wherever the software is distributed, in either source or |
| binary form, either in whole or in part, it must include the complete |
| unchanged text of this licence agreement unless different conditions have been |
| negotiated. In case of a binary-only distribution, the names of the copyright |
| holders must be mentioned in the documentation supplied with the software. |
| This is supposed to protect rights and freedom of those who have contributed |
| their time and labour to free software development, because otherwise the |
| development itself and this licence agreement are of a very little sense. |
| |
| Nothing else but this licence agreement grants you rights to use, modify |
| and distribute the software. Any violation of this licence agreement is |
| recognised as an action prohibited by an applicable legislation. |
