- Software in this distribution of the X Window System is covered by copyrights;
- see the file LABELS in this directory for a list.
-
- The MIT distribution of the X Window System is publicly available, but is NOT
- in the public domain. The difference is that copyrights granting rights for
- unrestricted use and redistribution have been placed on all of the software to
- identify its authors. You are allowed and encouraged to take this software and
- build commerical products.
-
- Individuals or organizations wishing to contribute software to the public
- releases should use a copyright notice that is no more restrictive than
- the sample given below. In particular,
-
- o Do not place any restictions on what can be done with this software
- (this includes using the GNU "copyleft").
-
- o Do not include the words "All rights reserved" unless you have had a
- lawyer verify that you have also explicitly given away all of the
- necessary rights shown in the samples.
-
- o Spell out the word "Copyright"; the phrase "(c)" is NOT a legal
- alternative to the c-in-circle symbol.
-
- o Put at least a one-line copyright at the top of EVERY source file, if
- not the full copyright. Also, the copyright line or full notice MUST
- physically appear in each file. Using the preprocessor to #include the
- copyright from some other file has no legal meaning (it can be used to
- incorporate common strings into the binary, but has no effect on the
- status of the source code).
-
- o Things that are copyrighted are, by definition, not in the public
- domain.
-
- A copyright notice similar to the following is strongly recommended (replacing
- MIT with your organization's name and putting your name and address at the
- bottom).
