From 7cd2ac0e40d854bab9a32512018aff6172500c0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Beth Flanagan Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:52:23 -0700 Subject: common-licenses: Additions and corrections I've added more licenses from SPDX and corrected the gcc license so that it is a. parsable and b. accurate to the SPDX standard. I've also done some cleanup of license text and gdb's LICENSE field.

As described below you may use +this licence for any software that you wish to distribute. + +It may be particularly suitable if your software is TeX related (such +as a LaTeX package file) but it may be used for any software, even if +it is unrelated to TeX. + +To use this license, the files of your distribution should have an +explicit copyright notice giving your name and the year, together +with a reference to this license. + +A typical example would be + + %% pig.sty + %% Copyright 2001 M. Y. Name + + % This program can redistributed and/or modified under the terms + % of the LaTeX Project Public License Distributed from CTAN + % archives in directory macros/latex/base/lppl.txt; either + % version 1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + +Given such a notice in the file, the conditions of this document would +apply, with: + +`The Program` referring to the software `pig.sty` and +`The Copyright Holder` referring to the person `M. Y. Name`. + +To see a real example, see the file legal.txt which carries the +copyright notice for the base latex distribution. + +This license gives terms under which files of The Program may be +distributed and modified. Individual files may have specific further +constraints on modification, but no file should have restrictions on +distribution other than those specified below. +This is to ensure that a distributor wishing to distribute a complete +unmodified copy of The Program need only check the conditions in this +file, and does not need to check every file in The Program for extra +restrictions. If you do need to modify the distribution terms of some +files, do not refer to this license, instead distribute The Program +under a different license. You may use the parts of the text of LPPL as +a model for your own license, but your license should not directly refer +to the LPPL or otherwise give the impression that The Program is +distributed under the LPPL. + + + +The LaTeX Project Public License +================================ +Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification +=============================================================== + + +WARRANTY +======== + +There is no warranty for The Program, to the extent permitted by +applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing, The +Copyright Holder provides The Program `as is` without warranty of any +kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the +implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular +purpose. 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 The Copyright Holder, or any of the individual authors named in +the source for The Program, be liable to you for damages, including +any general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out +of any use of The Program or out of inability to use The Program +(including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered +inaccurate or losses sustained by you or by third parties as a result +of 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. + + +DISTRIBUTION +============ + +Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files +that make up the distribution of The Program are distributed. +In particular this means that The Program has to be distributed +including its documentation if documentation was part of the original +distribution. + +The distribution of The Program will contain a prominent file +listing all the files covered by this license. + +If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain! + +The distribution of changed versions of certain files included in the +The Program, and the reuse of code from The Program, are allowed +under the following restrictions: + + * It is allowed only if the legal notice in the file does not + expressly forbid it. + See note below, under "Conditions on individual files". + + * You rename the file before you make any changes to it, unless the + file explicitly says that renaming is not required. Any such changed + files must be distributed under a license that forbids distribution + of those files, and any files derived from them, under the names used + by the original files in the distribution of The Program. + + * You change any `identification string` in The Program to clearly + indicate that the file is not part of the standard system. + + * If The Program includes an `error report address` so that errors + may be reported to The Copyright Holder, or other specified + addresses, this address must be changed in any modified versions of + The Program, so that reports for files not maintained by the + original program maintainers are directed to the maintainers of the + changed files. + + * You acknowledge the source and authorship of the original version + in the modified file. + + * You also distribute the unmodified version of the file or + alternatively provide sufficient information so that the + user of your modified file can be reasonably expected to be + able to obtain an original, unmodified copy of The Program. + For example, you may specify a URL to a site that you expect + will freely provide the user with a copy of The Program (either + the version on which your modification is based, or perhaps a + later version). + + * If The Program is intended to be used with, or is based on, LaTeX, + then files with the following file extensions which have special + meaning in LaTeX Software, have special modification rules under the + license: + + - Files with extension `.ins` (installation files): these files may + not be modified at all because they contain the legal notices + that are placed in the generated files. + + - Files with extension `.fd` (LaTeX font definitions files): these + files are allowed to be modified without changing the name, but + only to enable use of all available fonts and to prevent attempts + to access unavailable fonts. However, modified files are not + allowed to be distributed in place of original files. + + - Files with extension `.cfg` (configuration files): these files + can be created or modified to enable easy configuration of the + system. The documentation in cfgguide.tex in the base LaTeX + distribution describes when it makes sense to modify or generate + such files. + + +The above restrictions are not intended to prohibit, and hence do +not apply to, the updating, by any method, of a file so that it +becomes identical to the latest version of that file in The Program. + +======================================================================== + +NOTES +===== + +We believe that these requirements give you the freedom you to make +modifications that conform with whatever technical specifications you +wish, whilst maintaining the availability, integrity and reliability of +The Program. If you do not see how to achieve your goal whilst +adhering to these requirements then read the document cfgguide.tex +in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions. + +Because of the portability and exchangeability aspects of systems +like LaTeX, The LaTeX3 Project deprecates the distribution of +non-standard versions of components of LaTeX or of generally available +contributed code for them but such distributions are permitted under the +above restrictions. + +The document modguide.tex in the base LaTeX distribution details +the reasons for the legal requirements detailed above. +Even if The Program is unrelated to LaTeX, the argument in +modguide.tex may still apply, and should be read before +a modified version of The Program is distributed. + + +Conditions on individual files +============================== + +The individual files may bear additional conditions which supersede +the general conditions on distribution and modification contained in +this file. If there are any such files, the distribution of The +Program will contain a prominent file that lists all the exceptional +files. + +Typical examples of files with more restrictive modification +conditions would be files that contain the text of copyright notices. + + * The conditions on individual files differ only in the + extent of *modification* that is allowed. + + * The conditions on *distribution* are the same for all the files. + Thus a (re)distributor of a complete, unchanged copy of The Program + need meet only the conditions in this file; it is not necessary to + check the header of every file in the distribution to check that a + distribution meets these requirements. + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
