(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. + +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 subroutines 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. + +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 |
