| This program and object code is being provided to "you", the licensee, |
| by Thierry Dutoit, the "author", under the following license, which |
| applies to any program, object code or other work which contains a |
| notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
| under the terms of this license. The "program", below, refers to any |
| such program, object code or work. |
| |
| By obtaining, using and/or copying this program, you agree that you |
| have read, understood, and will comply with these terms and |
| conditions: |
| |
| Terms and conditions for the distribution of the program |
| -------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This program may not be sold or incorporated into any product which is |
| sold without prior permission from the author. |
| |
| When no charge is made, this program may be copied and distributed |
| freely, provided that this notice is copied and distributed with |
| it. Each time you redistribute the program (or any work based on the |
| program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| original licensor to copy or distribute the program subject to these |
| terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on |
| the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not |
| responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. |
| |
| If you wish to incorporate the program into other free programs whose |
| distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for |
| permission. |
| |
| If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
| conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this license, they do not |
| excuse you from the conditions of this license. If you cannot |
| distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| license and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
| may not distribute the program at all. For example, if a patent |
| license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the program by |
| all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
| the only way you could satisfy both it and this license would be to |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the program. |
