The `Blitz++ Artistic License'
|
|
(with thanks and apologies to authors of the Perl Artistic License)
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which
|
|
Blitz++ may be copied, such that the authors maintains some
|
|
semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
|
|
while giving the users of the package the right to use and
|
|
distribute Blitz++ in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the
|
|
right to make reasonable modifications.
|
|
|
|
Definitions
|
|
|
|
`Library' refers to the collection of files distributed by the
|
|
Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
|
|
created through textual modification.
|
|
|
|
`Standard Version' refers to such a Library if it has not been
|
|
modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the
|
|
Copyright Holder as specified below.
|
|
|
|
Copyright Holder' is whoever is named in the copyright or
|
|
copyrights for the package.
|
|
|
|
`You' is you, if you're thinking about copying, modifying or
|
|
distributing this Library.
|
|
|
|
`Freely Available' means that no fee is charged for the item.
|
|
It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
|
|
under the same conditions they received it.
|
|
|
|
``Reasonable copying fee'' is whatever you can justify on the basis
|
|
of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so
|
|
on. (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.)
|
|
|
|
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the
|
|
Standard Version of this Library without restriction, provided that
|
|
you duplicate all of the original copyright notices, this license,
|
|
and associated disclaimers.
|
|
|
|
2. The Standard Version of the Library may be distributed as part
|
|
of a collection of software, provided no more than a reasonable
|
|
copying fee is charged for the software collection.
|
|
|
|
3. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
|
|
derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A
|
|
Library modified in such a way shall still be considered the
|
|
Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
4. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Library 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 the Blitz++ development list,
|
|
and allowing the Copyright Holder to include
|
|
your modifications in the Standard Version of the Library.
|
|
|
|
b. use the modified Library only within your corporation or
|
|
organization.
|
|
|
|
c. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
|
|
Holder.
|
|
|
|
5. You may distribute programs which use this Library
|
|
in object code or executable form without restriction.
|
|
|
|
6. Any object code generated as a result of using this Library
|
|
does not fall under the copyright of this Library, but
|
|
belongs to whomever generated it, and may be sold commercially.
|
|
|
|
7. The name of the Copyright Holder or the Library may not be used to
|
|
endorse or promote products derived from this software without
|
|
specific prior written permission.
|
|
|
|
8. 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.
