- SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR COMPRESSED EXECUTABLES
- ============================================
-
- The stub which is imbedded in each UPX compressed program is part
- of UPX and UCL, and contains code that is under our copyright. The
- terms of the GNU General Public License still apply as compressing
- a program is a special form of linking with our stub.
-
- Hereby Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer and Laszlo Molnar grant you special
- permission to freely use and distribute all UPX compressed programs
- (including commercial ones), subject to the following restrictions:
-
- 1. You must compress your program with a completely unmodified UPX
- version; either with our precompiled version, or (at your option)
- with a self compiled version of the unmodified UPX sources as
- distributed by us.
- 2. This also implies that the UPX stub must be completely unmodfied, i.e.
- the stub imbedded in your compressed program must be byte-identical
- to the stub that is produced by the official unmodified UPX version.
- 3. The decompressor and any other code from the stub must exclusively get
- used by the unmodified UPX stub for decompressing your program at
- program startup. No portion of the stub may get read, copied,
- called or otherwise get used or accessed by your program.
-
-
- ANNOTATIONS
- ===========
-
- - You can use a modified UPX version or modified UPX stub only for
- programs that are compatible with the GNU General Public License.
-
- - We grant you special permission to freely use and distribute all UPX
- compressed programs. But any modification of the UPX stub (such as,
- but not limited to, removing our copyright string or making your
- program non-decompressible) will immediately revoke your right to
- use and distribute a UPX compressed program.
-
- - UPX is not a software protection tool; by requiring that you use
- the unmodified UPX version for your proprietary programs we
- make sure that any user can decompress your program. This protects
- both you and your users as nobody can hide malicious code -
- any program that cannot be decompressed is highly suspicious
- by definition.
-
- - You can integrate all or part of UPX and UCL into projects that
- are compatible with the GNU GPL, but obviously you cannot grant
- any special exceptions beyond the GPL for our code in your project.
-
- - We want to actively support manufacturers of virus scanners and
- similar security software. Please contact us if you would like to
- incorporate parts of UPX or UCL into such a product.
