- SMAIL GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
-
- Copyright (C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr
- Copyright (C) 1992 Ronald S. Karr
- Copyleft (GNU) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr
-
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also
- use this wording to make the terms for other programs.
-
- The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
- mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
- intended to give everyone the right to share SMAIL. To make sure that
- you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
- that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
- the rights. Hence this license agreement.
-
- Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
- away copies of SMAIL, that you receive source code or else can get it
- if you want it, that you can change SMAIL or use pieces of it in new
- free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
- deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
- copies of SMAIL, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
- have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
- source code. And you must tell them their rights.
-
- Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
- finds out that there is no warranty for SMAIL. If SMAIL is modified by
- someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
- they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
- by others will not reflect on our reputation.
-
- Therefore we (Landon Curt Noll and Ronald S. Karr) make the following
- terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change
- SMAIL.
-
-
- COPYING POLICIES
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of SMAIL source code
- as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
- appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
- (C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr" (or with whatever year is
- appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this
- License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
- other recipients of the SMAIL program a copy of this License
- Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
- for the physical act of transferring a copy.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of SMAIL or any portion of it,
- and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
- Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
-
- a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
- that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
-
- b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
- that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of SMAIL or
- any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
- parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
- Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
- warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option).
-
- c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
- transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
- protection in exchange for a fee.
-
- Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
- derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
- the other program under the scope of these terms.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute SMAIL (or a portion or derivative of it,
- under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
- Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
- a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
- source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
- Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
-
- b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
- years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
- shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
- corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
- Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
-
- c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
- corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
- allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you
- received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
-
- For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for
- all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
- source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the
- operating system on which the executable file runs.
-
- 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL
- except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
- otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL is void and
- your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
- automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
- software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
- their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of SMAIL into other free
- programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to Landon
- Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr via the Free Software Foundation at 51
- Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. We have not yet
- worked out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often
- permit this. We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the
- free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
- the sharing and reuse of software.
-
- Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
- software are welcome! This contract was based on the contract made by
- the Free Software Foundation. Please contact the Free Software
- Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301,
- USA, or call (617) 542-5942 for details on copylefted material in
- general.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- BECAUSE SMAIL IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
- WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
- OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, LANDON CURT NOLL & RONALD S. KARR AND/OR
- OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE SMAIL "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
- EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
- WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
- THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF SMAIL IS WITH
- YOU. SHOULD SMAIL PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
- NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL LANDON CURT NOLL &
- RONALD S. KARR AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE
- SMAIL AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
- LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
- CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
- (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
- INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
- PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) SMAIL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE
- BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY
- ANY OTHER PARTY.
