|
|
non-transferable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, execute,
|

|
|
or without Modifications) in Source Code form and/or Object Code form for
|
|
commercial and/or non-commercial purposes. This grant includes a
|
|
nonexclusive and non-transferable license under any patents which Lucent
|
|
has a right to license and which, but for this license, are unavoidably
|
|
and necessarily infringed by the execution of the inherent functionality
|
|
of the Original Software in the form furnished under this Agreement.
|
|
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring in any way (by
|
|
implication, estoppel or otherwise) any license or right under any
|
|
existing or future patent claim which is directed to a combination of the
|
|
functionality of the Original Software with the functionality of any other
|
|
software programs, or a combination of hardware systems other than the
|
|
combination of the Original Software and the hardware or firmware into
|
|
which the Original Software is loaded. Distribution of Licensed Software
|
|
to third parties pursuant to this grant shall be subject to the same terms
|
|
and conditions as set forth in this Agreement, and may, at Your option,
|
|
include a reasonable charge for the cost of any media. You may also, at
|
|
Your option, charge for any other software, product or service that
|
|
includes or incorporates the Original Software as a part thereof.
|
|
|
|
2.2 No right is granted to Licensee to create derivative works of or to
|
|
redistribute (other than with the Original Software or a derivative
|
|
thereof) the screen imprinter fonts identified in subdirectory
|
|
/lib/font/bit/lucida and printer fonts (Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans
|
|
Italic, Lucida Sans Demibold, Lucida Typewriter, Lucida Sans
|
|
Typewriter83), identified in subdirectory /sys/lib/postscript/font.
|
|
|
|
2.3 Exhibit A contains additional terms and conditions relating to the
|
|
printer fonts identified in subdirectory /sys/lib/ghostscript/font. In the
|
|
case of any conflict between the provisions of the body of this Agreement
|
|
and Exhibit A regarding such printer fonts, the provisions of Exhibit A
|
|
shall control.
|
|
|
|
2.4 The Original Software licensed herein contains material copyrights by
|
|
the Original Contributor, including but not limited to Lucent, B&H Inc.,
|
|
and Y&Y Inc. No rights are granted with respect to Original Software
|
|
except as expressly provided herein.
|
|
|
|
2.5 Lucent grants to Licensee a nonexclusive, royalty free, worldwide
|
|
license to use the Plan 9 Trademark solely in connection with the Plan 9
|
|
operating system source code (or object code) and documentation. Such use
|
|
by Licensee of the Plan 9 Trademark shall be in accordance with the
|
|
following quality standards and controls:
|
|
|
|
* Any use of the Plan 9 Trademark must be made under the terms of this
|
|
Agreement;
|
|
* The Plan 9 Trademark may not be combined with any other mark or logo
|
|
to form a composite mark or logo or suggest that the Parties are part
|
|
of one company.
|
|
|
|
Upon Lucent's written request and at Licensee's expense, Licensee will
|
|
provide Lucent with a representative sample of Licensee's promotional
|
|
materials bearing the Plan 9 Trademark. If, for any reason, Lucent
|
|
determines that the quality standards or controls applied by Licensee to
|
|
the Plan 9 system source code and documentation fall below those that are
|
|
consistent with Lucent's standards, upon written notice of the deficiency
|
|
to Licensee, Lucent may, at its sole option and discretion, terminate
|
|
Licensee's right to use the Plan 9 Trademark upon written notice to
|
|
Licensee.
|
|
|
|
Licensee acknowledges that Lucent is the owner of the Plan 9 Trademark and
|
|
all goodwill attached thereto. This Agreement does not give Licensee any
|
|
interest in the Plan 9 Trademark except the right to use the mark in
|
|
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Licensee agrees not to
|
|
attempt to register the Plan 9 Trademark nor to adopt, attempt to register
|
|
or register anywhere in the world a mark the same as or confusingly
|
|
similar to the Plan 9 Trademark.

|
|
3.0 DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
|
|
|
|
3.1 Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed
|
|
by the terms of this Agreement and must be made available under the terms
|
|
of this Agreement in at least the same form as the Source Code version of
|
|
Original Software furnished hereunder. Any distribution by You of the
|
|
Source Code version of Licensed Software must be made under the terms of
|
|
this Agreement or any future version of this Agreement under Section 11.0,
|
|
and You must include a copy of this Agreement with each and every copy of
|
|
such Source Code version of Licensed Software which You distribute. You
|
|

version of this Agreement or the Recipients' rights and obligations
|
|
hereunder.
|
|
|
|
3.2 You must cause all Licensed Software to which You contribute, i.e.
|
|
Your Modifications, to contain a clear identification, e.g., a separate
|
|
file, documenting the changes made by You and identifying You as the
|
|
Contributor that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the
|
|
originator of the Modification. To the extent You create at least one
|
|
Modification, You may add Your name as a Contributor to the requisite
|
|
notice described in Section 3.3.
|
|
|
|
3.3 With respect to Your distribution of Licensed Software (or any portion
|
|
thereof), You must include the following information in a conspicuous
|
|
location governing such distribution (e.g., a separate file) and on all

|
copies of any Source Code version of Licensed Software You distribute:
|
|
|
|
"The contents herein includes software initially developed by Lucent
|

|
compliance with this Agreement and Your license: (a) complies with the
|
|
terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) does not limit or alter the
|
|
Recipient's rights and obligations in the Source Code version of the
|
|
Licensed Software set forth in this Agreement; (c) states that the Source
|
|

|
excludes on behalf of Original Contributor and all Contributors all
|
|
liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental,
|
|

|
|
Contributor or any other Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify
|
|
Original Contributor or any other Contributor for any liability incurred
|
|
by Original Contributor or any other Contributor as result of any such
|
|
differing terms You offer in Your license.
|
|
|

create a copy (or an offer to provide such a copy at no charge) of the
|
|
Licensed Software, on the same terms as set forth in this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
3.7 While this Agreement contemplates the commercial use and distribution
|
|
of Licensed Software, commercial distributors of software may, for a
|
|
variety of reasons, accept certain responsibilities with respect to
|
|
customers, licensees, business partners and the like. As such, if You or
|
|
any Contributor include Licensed Software in a commercial offering
|
|
("Commercial Contributor"), such Commercial Contributor agrees to defend
|
|
and indemnify Original Contributor and all other Contributors
|
|
(collectively "Indemnified Contributors") against any liability, losses,
|
|
damages and costs arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions
|
|
brought by any third party against the Indemnified Contributors to the
|
|
extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
|
|
connection with its use or distribution of Licensed Software in a
|
|
commercial offering of any kind.
|
|
|
|
4.0 MODIFICATIONS

|
|

|
|
of the complete Source Code version, Object Code version and related
|
|
documentation for Modifications created or contributed to by You if
|
|

|
|
and/or other Contributors shall have unrestricted, nonexclusive,
|
|
worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free rights, to use, reproduce, modify,
|
|
display, perform, sublicense and distribute such Modifications, and to
|
|
grant third parties the right to do so, including without limitation as a
|
|
part of or with the Licensed Software; and Original Contributor and/or
|
|
other Contributors shall have the right to license or to otherwise
|
|
transfer to third parties such Modifications without notice, obligation or
|
|
recourse to You. You grant to Original Contributor, Contributors and their
|
|
respective licensees all rights and licenses (including patents) as are
|
|
necessary to incorporate the Modifications created or contributed and so
|
|
distributed by You into the Licensed Software and to use, distribute or
|
|
otherwise exploit such Licensed Software without payment or accounting to
|
|
You.
|
|
|
|
5. TITLE

EXHIBIT A - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
|
|
Version 2, June 1991
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave,
|
|
Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
|
|
verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
|
|
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
|
|
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to
|
|
make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
|
|
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to
|
|
any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
|
|
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public
|
|
License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
|
|
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
|
|
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service
|
|
if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
|
|
that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
|
|
and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
|
|
deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
|
|
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
|
|
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
|
|
for a fee, 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 show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|
|
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
|
|
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
|
|
distribute and/or modify the software.
|
|
|
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
|
|
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
|
|
the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
|
|
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
|
|
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
|
|
reputations.
|
|
|
|
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
|
|
wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
|
|
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
|
|
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
|
|
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
|
|
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
modification follow.
|
|
|
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
|
|
|
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
|
|
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
|
|
the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to
|
|
any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either
|
|
the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
|
|
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
|
|
modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
|
|
translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
|
|
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
|
|
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
|
|
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
|
|
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
|
|
only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent
|
|
of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
|
|
on what the Program does.
|
|
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
|
|
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
|
|
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
|
|
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
|
|
of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
|
|
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
|
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
|
|
thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
|
|
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
|
|
you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
|
|
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
|
|
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
|
|
or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to
|
|
be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
|
|
of this License.
|
|
|
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
|
|
you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
|
|
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
|
|
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
|
|
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
|
|
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a
|
|
copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
|
|
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the
|
|
Program is not required to print an announcement.)
|
|
|
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
|
|
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
|
|
reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
|
|
this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
|
|
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
|
|
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
|
|
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
|
|
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
|
|
each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
|
|
|
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
|
|
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise
|
|
the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works
|
|
based on the Program.
|
|
|
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
|
|
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
|
|
storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
|
|
scope of this License.
|
|
|
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
|
|
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 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 Sections 1 and 2 above
|
|
on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
|
|
|
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
|
|
give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
|
|
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
|
|
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
|
|
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
|
|
|
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
|
|
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
|
|
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
|
|
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
|
|
Subsection b above.)
|
|
|
|
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
|
|
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means
|
|
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
|
|
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
|
|
and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the
|
|
source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
|
|
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components
|
|
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the
|
|
executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
|
|
|
|
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
|
|
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
|
|
source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code,
|
|
even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with
|
|
the object code.
|
|
|
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except
|
|
as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
|
|
modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
|
|
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
|
|
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
|
|
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
|
|
compliance.
|
|
|
|
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
|
|
it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute
|
|
the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law
|
|
if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing
|
|
the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
|
|
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
|
|
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
|
|
|
|
6. 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, distribute or modify 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.
|
|
|
|
7. 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.
|
|
|
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
|
|
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply
|
|
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
|
|
|
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
|
|
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such
|
|
claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of
|
|
the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public
|
|
license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the
|
|
wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on
|
|
consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
|
|
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
|
|
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
|
|
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
|
|
consequence of the rest of this License.
|
|
|
|
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
|
|
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
|
|
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an
|
|
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
|
|
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
|
|
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
|
|
written in the body of this License.
|
|
|
|
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
|
|
the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
|
|
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
|
|
address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
|
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
|
|
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
|
|
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
|
|
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
|
|
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
|
|
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
|
|
make exceptions for this. Our decision 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 generally.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY
|
|
|
|
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
|
|
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
|
|
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
|
|
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "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 THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
|
|
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
|
|
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
|
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
|
|
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
|
|
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
|
|
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
|
|
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
