(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 +ftp.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. + +4. 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) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard +Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names, +and clearly documenting 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. + +5. 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. + +6. 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. + +7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not +be considered part of this Package. + +8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote +products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. + +9. 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 |
