- Aladdin Free Public License
- (Version 8, November 18, 1999)
-
- Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999 Aladdin Enterprises,
- Menlo Park, California, U.S.A. All rights reserved.
-
- NOTE: This License is not the same as any of the GNU Licenses
- published by the Free Software Foundation. Its terms are
- substantially different from those of the GNU Licenses. If you are
- familiar with the GNU Licenses, please read this license with
- extra care.
-
- Aladdin Enterprises hereby grants to anyone the permission to apply this
- License to their own work, as long as the entire License (including the
- above notices and this paragraph) is copied with no changes, additions, or
- deletions except for changing the first paragraph of Section 0 to include a
- suitable description of the work to which the license is being applied and
- of the person or entity that holds the copyright in the work, and, if the
- License is being applied to a work created in a country other than the
- United States, replacing the first paragraph of Section 6 with an
- appropriate reference to the laws of the appropriate country.
-
- 0. Subject Matter
-
- This License applies to the computer program known as "Aladdin Ghostscript."
- The "Program", below, refers to such program. The Program is a copyrighted
- work whose copyright is held by Aladdin Enterprises (the "Licensor"). Please
- note that Aladdin Ghostscript is neither the program known as "GNU
- Ghostscript" nor the version of Ghostscript available for commercial
- licensing from Artifex Software Inc.
-
- A "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
- work of the Program, as defined in the United States Copyright Act of 1976,
- such as a translation or a modification.
-
- BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE PROGRAM),
- YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND ALL ITS TERMS AND
- CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING THE PROGRAM OR WORKS BASED
- ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS YOU PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR
- DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS DERIVATIVE WORKS. THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED
- BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR
- DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM.
-
- 1. Licenses.
-
- Licensor hereby grants you the following rights, provided that you comply
- with all of the restrictions set forth in this License and provided,
- further, that you distribute an unmodified copy of this License with the
- Program:
-
- (a) You may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of the
- Program's source code as you receive it throughout the world, in any
- medium.
- (b) You may modify the Program, create works based on the Program and
- distribute copies of such throughout the world, in any medium.
-
- 2. Restrictions.
-
- This license is subject to the following restrictions:
-
- (a) Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
- commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment
- is made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in
- payment for a copy of the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for
- some service related to the Program, or payment for some product or
- service that includes a copy of the Program "without charge"; these are
- only examples, and not an exhaustive enumeration of prohibited
- activities). The following methods of distribution involving payment
- shall not in and of themselves be a violation of this restriction:
- (i) Posting the Program on a public access information storage and
- retrieval service for which a fee is received for retrieving
- information (such as an on-line service), provided that the fee is
- not content-dependent (i.e., the fee would be the same for
- retrieving the same volume of information consisting of random
- data) and that access to the service and to the Program is
- available independent of any other product or service. An example
- of a service that does not fall under this section is an on-line
- service that is operated by a company and that is only available
- to customers of that company. (This is not an exhaustive
- enumeration.)
- (ii) Distributing the Program on removable computer-readable media,
- provided that the files containing the Program are reproduced
- entirely and verbatim on such media, that all information on such
- media be redistributable for non-commercial purposes without
- charge, and that such media are distributed by themselves (except
- for accompanying documentation) independent of any other product
- or service. Examples of such media include CD-ROM, magnetic tape,
- and optical storage media. (This is not intended to be an
- exhaustive list.) An example of a distribution that does not fall
- under this section is a CD-ROM included in a book or magazine.
- (This is not an exhaustive enumeration.)
- (b) Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of the
- Program are not subject to this License and they are outside its scope.
- Functional use (running) of the Program is not restricted, and any
- output produced through the use of the Program is subject to this
- license only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
- (independent of having been made by running the Program).
- (c) You must meet all of the following conditions with respect to any work
- that you distribute or publish that in whole or in part contains or is
- derived from the Program or any part thereof ("the Work"):
- (i) If you have modified the Program, you must cause the Work to carry
- prominent notices stating that you have modified the Program's
- files and the date of any change. In each source file that you
- have modified, you must include a prominent notice that you have
- modified the file, including your name, your e-mail address (if
- any), and the date and purpose of the change;
- (ii) You must cause the Work to be licensed as a whole and at no charge
- to all third parties under the terms of this License;
- (iii)
- If the Work normally reads commands interactively when run, you
- must cause it, at each time the Work commences operation, to print
- or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright
- notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
- that you provide a warranty). Such notice must also state that
- users may redistribute the Work only under the conditions of this
- License and tell the user how to view the copy of this License
- included with the Work. (Exceptions: if the Program is interactive
- but normally prints or displays such an announcement only at the
- request of a user, such as in an "About box", the Work is required
- to print or display the notice only under the same circumstances;
- if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
- such an announcement, the Work is not required to print an
- announcement.);
- (iv) You must accompany the Work with the complete corresponding
- machine-readable source code, delivered on a medium customarily
- used for software interchange. The source code for a work means
- the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For
- an executable work, complete source code means all the source code
- for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
- definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
- installation of the executable code. If you distribute with the
- Work any component that is normally distributed (in either source
- or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
- so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, you
- must also distribute the source code of that component if you have
- it and are allowed to do so;
- (v) If you distribute any written or printed material at all with the
- Work, such material must include either a written copy of this
- License, or a prominent written indication that the Work is
- covered by this License and written instructions for printing
- and/or displaying the copy of the License on the distribution
- medium;
- (vi) You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipient's
- exercise of the rights granted herein.
-
- If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering the
- equivalent ability to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
- ability to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution
- of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
- source code along with the object code.
-
- 3. Reservation of Rights.
-
- No rights are granted to the Program except as expressly set forth herein.
- You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
- expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
- modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically
- terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
- copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
- terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 4. Other Restrictions.
-
- If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
- countries for any reason, Licensor may add an explicit geographical
- distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
- permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
- License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
- License.
-
- 5. Limitations.
-
- THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
- WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
- LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
- PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE ENTIRE
- RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
- THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
- REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
- LICENSOR, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM
- AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
- SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
- INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR
- DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES
- OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF
- SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
- DAMAGES.
-
- 6. General.
-
- This License is governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A.,
- excluding choice of law rules.
-
- If any part of this License is found to be in conflict with the law, that
- part shall be interpreted in its broadest meaning consistent with the law,
- and no other parts of the License shall be affected.
-
- For United States Government users, the Program is provided with RESTRICTED
- RIGHTS. If you are a unit or agency of the United States Government or are
- acquiring the Program for any such unit or agency, the following apply:
-
- If the unit or agency is the Department of Defense ("DOD"), the
- Program and its documentation are classified as "commercial
- computer software" and "commercial computer software
- documentation" respectively and, pursuant to DFAR Section
- 227.7202, the Government is acquiring the Program and its
- documentation in accordance with the terms of this License. If the
- unit or agency is other than DOD, the Program and its
- documentation are classified as "commercial computer software" and
- "commercial computer software documentation" respectively and,
- pursuant to FAR Section 12.212, the Government is acquiring the
- Program and its documentation in accordance with the terms of this
- License.
