You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to |
| |
pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though |
| |
I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into |
| |
HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions). |

way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions |
| |
be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code |
| |
added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are |
| |
signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include |
| |
the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port |
| |
of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not |
| |
have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL. |

* supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a |
| |
HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions. |
| |
This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any |
| |
distribution or derivative work. |
| |
|
| |
The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system |
| |
distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay, |
| |
for example. |
| |
|
| |
You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that |
| |
is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the |
| |
License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive. |
| |
|
| |
* make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files, |
| |
including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a |
| |
derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution. |

HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright. |

You MUST: |

|

* include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative |

works you create, as either a separate file or part of your |
| |
non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict |
| |
with these terms). |
| |
|
| |
* absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and |
| |
any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify |
| |
that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the |
| |
programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible, |
| |
entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life. |
| |
|
| |
If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you |
| |
wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so |
| |
does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else |
| |
liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users |
| |
of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless |
| |
under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license |
| |
terms in your derivative works, right?) |
| |
|
| |
Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these |
| |
terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't |
| |
agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't |
| |
even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't, |
| |
either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the |
| |
copyright holder, IN WRITING. |
