21 SMAIL GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
22 (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
23
24 Copyright (C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr
25 Copyright (C) 1992 Ronald S. Karr
26 Copyleft (GNU) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr
27
28 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
29 of this license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also
30 use this wording to make the terms for other programs.
31
32 The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
33mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
34intended to give everyone the right to share SMAIL. To make sure that
35you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
36that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
37the rights. Hence this license agreement.
38
39 Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
40away copies of SMAIL, that you receive source code or else can get it
41if you want it, that you can change SMAIL or use pieces of it in new
42free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
43
44 To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
45deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
46copies of SMAIL, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
47have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
48source code. And you must tell them their rights.
49
50 Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
51finds out that there is no warranty for SMAIL. If SMAIL is modified by
52someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
53they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
54by others will not reflect on our reputation.
55
56 Therefore we (Landon Curt Noll and Ronald S. Karr) make the following
57terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change
58SMAIL.
59
60
61 COPYING POLICIES
62
63 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of SMAIL source code
64as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
65appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
66(C) 1988 Landon Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr" (or with whatever year is
67appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this
68License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
69other recipients of the SMAIL program a copy of this License
70Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
71for the physical act of transferring a copy.
72
73 2. You may modify your copy or copies of SMAIL or any portion of it,
74and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
75Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
76
77 a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
78 that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
79
80 b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
81 that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of SMAIL or
82 any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
83 parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
84 Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
85 warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option).
86
87 c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
88 transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
89 protection in exchange for a fee.
90
91Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
92derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
93the other program under the scope of these terms.
94
95 3. You may copy and distribute SMAIL (or a portion or derivative of it,
96under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
97Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
98
99 a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
100 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
101 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
102
103 b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
104 years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
105 shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
106 corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
107 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
108
109 c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
110 corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
111 allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you
112 received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
113
114For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for
115all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
116source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the
117operating system on which the executable file runs.
118
119 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL
120except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
121otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer SMAIL is void and
122your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
123automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
124software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
125their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
126
127 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of SMAIL into other free
128programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to Landon
129Curt Noll & Ronald S. Karr via the Free Software Foundation at 51
130Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. We have not yet
131worked out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often
132permit this. We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the
133free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
134the sharing and reuse of software.
135
136Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
137software are welcome! This contract was based on the contract made by
138the Free Software Foundation. Please contact the Free Software
139Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301,
140USA, or call (617) 542-5942 for details on copylefted material in
141general.
142
143 NO WARRANTY
144
145 BECAUSE SMAIL IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
146WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
147OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, LANDON CURT NOLL & RONALD S. KARR AND/OR
148OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE SMAIL "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
149EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
150WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
151THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF SMAIL IS WITH
152YOU. SHOULD SMAIL PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
153NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
154
155 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL LANDON CURT NOLL &
156RONALD S. KARR AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE
157SMAIL AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
158LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
159CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
160(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
161INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
162PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) SMAIL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE
163BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY
164ANY OTHER PARTY.
