All rights reserved. 116: 117: ** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please ** 118: ** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author ** 119: ** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages. ** 120: 121: You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to 122: pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though 123: I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into 124: HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions). 125: 126: HTTPi must be free, and any and all distributions and derivatives must 127: themselves be free. By free software I do not necessarily mean free in the 128: way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions 129: be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code 130: added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are 131: signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include 132: the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port 133: of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not 134: have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL. 135: 136: You MAY NOT: 137: 138: * make changes and slap your copyright on the entire package. Your 139: copyright extends only to the changes you've made. My copyright, 140: and any copyrights asserted by HTTPi's contributors, remain. 141: 142: * supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a 143: HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions. 144: This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any 145: distribution or derivative work. 146: 147: The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system 148: distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay, 149: for example. 150: 151: You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that 152: is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the 153: License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive. 154: 155: * make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files, 156: including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a 157: derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution. 158: 159: * make or distribute a distribution of HTTPi that does not clearly 160: state the copyright (i.e. 161: 162: Contains or is based on the HTTPi web server 163: (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved. 164: http://httpi.floodgap.com/ 165: 166: would be just about perfect), or make or distribute a derivative of 167: HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright. 168: 169: You MUST: 170: 171: * copyright your derivative works. You may not make them public domain. 172: 173: * include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative 174: works you create, as either a separate file or part of your 175: non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict 176: with these terms). 177: 178: * absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and 179: any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify 180: that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the 181: programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible, 182: entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life. 183: 184: If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you 185: wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so 186: does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else 187: liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users 188: of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless 189: under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license 190: terms in your derivative works, right?) 191: 192: Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these 193: terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't 194: agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't 195: even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't, 196: either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the 197: copyright holder, IN WRITING. 198: 199: I reserve the right to interpret this document, and I also reserve the right 200: to make license changes without notice effective on issue date. All legal 201: issues shall be dealt with in accordance with the State of California, United 202: States of America. 203: 204: Other than that, have a blast!
