2Simple Public License (SimPL)
3
4Preamble
5This Simple Public License 2.0 (SimPL 2.0 for short) is a plain language
6implementation of GPL 2.0. The words are different, but the goal is the same -
7to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change software. If anyone
8wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should interpret it as consistent
9with GPL 2.0.
10Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0
11The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes with any
12rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to the SimPL by
13copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the software.
14
15You get the royalty free right to:
16Use the software for any purpose;
17Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work");
18Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work.
19If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to the
20community by:
21Prominently noting the date of any changes you make;
22Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and license
23terms in place;
24Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and interface
25definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to modify;
26Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms (such as
27GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights provided;
28Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license.
29There are some things that you must shoulder:
30You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind;
31If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct damages up
32to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did not pay anything). You
33may not recover any other damages, including those called "consequential
34damages." (The state or country where you live may not allow you to limit
35your liability in this way, so this may not apply to you);
36The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end
37automatically if:
38You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your
39licensees get to keep their rights if they abide);
40Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms of the
41SimPL.
42License for the License
43You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license form to
44use in any way that you find helpful. To avoid confusion, however, if you
45change the terms in any way then you may not call your license the Simple
46Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to acknowledge that your license is
47"based on the Simple Public License").
