146: HTTPi is (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
147:
148: ** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please **
149: ** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author **
150: ** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages. **
151:
152: You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to
153: pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though
154: I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into
155: HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions).
156:
157: HTTPi must be free, and any and all distributions and derivatives must
158: themselves be free. By free software I do not necessarily mean free in the
159: way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions
160: be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code
161: added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are
162: signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include
163: the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port
164: of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not
165: have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL.
166:
167: You MAY NOT:
168:
169: * make changes and slap your copyright on the entire package. Your
170: copyright extends only to the changes you've made. My copyright,
171: and any copyrights asserted by HTTPi's contributors, remain.
172:
173: * supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a
174: HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions.
175: This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any
176: distribution or derivative work.
177:
178: The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system
179: distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay,
180: for example.
181:
182: You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that
183: is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the
184: License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive.
185:
186: * make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files,
187: including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a
188: derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution.
189:
190: * make or distribute a distribution of HTTPi that does not clearly
191: state the copyright (i.e.
192:
193: Contains or is based on the HTTPi web server
194: (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
195: http://httpi.floodgap.com/
196:
197: would be just about perfect), or make or distribute a derivative of
198: HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright.
199:
200: You MUST:
201:
202: * copyright your derivative works. You may not make them public domain.
203:
204: * include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative
205: works you create, as either a separate file or part of your
206: non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict
207: with these terms).
208:
209: * absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and
210: any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify
211: that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the
212: programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible,
213: entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life.
214:
215: If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you
216: wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so
217: does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else
218: liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users
219: of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless
220: under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license
221: terms in your derivative works, right?)
222:
223: Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these
224: terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't
225: agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't
226: even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't,
227: either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the
228: copyright holder, IN WRITING.
229:
230: I reserve the right to interpret this document, and I also reserve the right
231: to make license changes without notice effective on issue date. All legal
232: issues shall be dealt with in accordance with the State of California, United
233: States of America.
234:
235: Other than that, have a blast! Keep software free.
