- This is the Debian pre-packaged version of vim. Vim is an almost compatible
- version of the UNIX editor Vi. Many new features have been added: multi level
- undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, on-line help, filename
- completion, block operations, etc.
-
- This package was put together by Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org> from
- sources obtained from: ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/. The current maintainer
- is Debian VIM Maintainers <pkg-vim-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>.
-
- Vim was written by Bram Moolenaar. The following copying conditions are taken
- from the online documentation.
-
-
- I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except
- that they must include this license text. You can also distribute
- unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must
- include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables
- that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage
- examples and Vim scripts.
-
- II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim,
- including executables and/or source code, when the following four
- conditions are met:
- 1) This license text must be included unmodified.
- 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:
- a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in
- the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you
- (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you
- must make your changes, including source code, available to the
- maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to
- include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the
- maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they
- will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation
- then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes.
- The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this
- changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely
- vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely
- impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him
- your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has
- received your changes they will not have to be sent again.
- b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as
- mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
- unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the
- text under a) applies to those changes.
- c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
- the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a
- context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you
- add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from
- making their own changes to the official version of Vim.
- d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned
- under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the
- changes if the following three conditions are met:
- - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
- the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
- permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
- version of Vim without fee or restriction.
- - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
- distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer
- or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in
- any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them
- available to him.
- - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This
- contact information must remain valid for at least three years
- after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long
- as possible.
- e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
- you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or
- any later version.
- 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
- command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim
- is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned
- under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does
- not conflict with the license used for the changes.
- 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
- removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
- corrections.
-
- III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use
- the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
- maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is
- by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL.
- If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
- context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is
- <maintainer@vim.org>
-
- IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim
- sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this
- license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came
- with, at your option.
-
- On Debian systems the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 is located on
- the filesystem at /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2.

- V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
-
- In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and
- strongly recommended of redistributors that:
-
- 1. If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you
- provide email notification to the authors of your intent to redistribute
- at least thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze, to give the
- authors time to provide updated documents. This notification should
- describe modifications, if any, made to the document.
- 2. All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly
- marked up in the document or else described in an attachment to the
- document.
- 3. Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered
- good form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of
- an Open Publication-licensed work to its author(s).
-
-
- VI. LICENSE OPTIONS
-
- The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may
- elect certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the
- license. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be
- included with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived works.
-
- A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the
- explicit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined as
- a change to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes in
- format or typographical corrections.

- versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the
- copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy.
-
- B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in whole or in
- part in standard (paper) book form for commercial purposes is prohibited unless
- prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder.
