SMAIL GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
(Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr

Copyleft (GNU) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr
|
|
|
|
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.
