| |
| 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 SMAIL. 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 SMAIL, that you receive source code or else can get it |
| if you want it, that you can change SMAIL 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 SMAIL, 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 SMAIL. If SMAIL is modified by |
| someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what |
| they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced |
| by others will not reflect on our reputation. |
| |
| Therefore we (Landon Curt Noll and Ronald S. Karr) make the following |
| terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change |
| SMAIL. |
| |
| |
| COPYING POLICIES |
| |
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of SMAIL source code |
| as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright |
| (C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr" (or with whatever year is |
| appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this |
| License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any |
| other recipients of the SMAIL program a copy of this License |
| Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee |
| for the physical act of transferring a copy. |
| |
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of SMAIL or any portion of it, |
| and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of |
| Paragraph 1 above, 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 SMAIL 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. |
| |
| Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its |
| derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring |
| the other program under the scope of these terms. |
| |
| 3. You may copy and distribute SMAIL (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 corresponding machine-readable |
| source code, which must be distributed under the terms of |
| Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |
| |
| b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
| years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal |
| shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the |
| corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of |
| Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |
| |
| c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the |
| corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is |
| allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you |
| received the program in object code or executable form alone.) |
| |
| For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for |
| all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include |
| source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the |
| operating system on which the executable file runs. |
| |
| 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL |
| except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt |
| otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL 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. |
| |
| 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of SMAIL into other free |
| programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to Landon |
| Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr via the Free Software Foundation at 51 |
| Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. We have not yet |
| worked out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often |
| permit this. We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the |
| free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting |
| the sharing and reuse of software. |
| |
| Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our |
| software are welcome! This contract was based on the contract made by |
| the Free Software Foundation. Please contact the Free Software |
| Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, |
| USA, or call (617) 542-5942 for details on copylefted material in |
| general. |
| |
| NO WARRANTY |
| |
| BECAUSE SMAIL IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO |
| WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
| OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, LANDON CURT NOLL & RONALD S. KARR AND/OR |
| OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE SMAIL "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, |
| EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED |
| WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
| THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF SMAIL IS WITH |
| YOU. SHOULD SMAIL PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL |
| NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL LANDON CURT NOLL & |
| RONALD S. KARR AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE |
| SMAIL AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
| LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
| CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE |
| (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED |
| INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE |
| PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) SMAIL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE |
| BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY |
| ANY OTHER PARTY. |
