HTTPi is (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved. |
| |
|
| <P>Initial development of LON-CAPA was sponsored by Michigan State |
** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please ** |
| University in the Laboratory for Instructional Technology in |
** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author ** |
| Education.</P> |
** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages. ** |
| |
|
| <P><IMG SRC="https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/icons/srchweb.gif" ALIGN=right>Additional |
You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to |
| support by the National Science Foundation under <A HREF="https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/servlet/showaward?award=0085921">NSF |
pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though |
| ITR 85921</A>. Any opinions, findings and conclusions or |
I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into |
| |
HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions). |
| |
|
| |
HTTPi must be free, and any and all distributions and derivatives must |
| |
themselves be free. By free software I do not necessarily mean free in the |
| |
way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions |
| |
be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code |
| |
added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are |
| |
signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include |
| |
the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port |
| |
of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not |
| |
have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL. |
| |
|
| |
You MAY NOT: |
| |
|
| |
* make changes and slap your copyright on the entire package. Your |
| |
copyright extends only to the changes you've made. My copyright, |
| |
and any copyrights asserted by HTTPi's contributors, remain. |
| |
|
| |
* supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a |
| |
HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions. |
| |
This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any |
| |
distribution or derivative work. |
| |
|
| |
The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system |
| |
distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay, |
| |
for example. |
| |
|
| |
You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that |
| |
is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the |
| |
License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive. |
| |
|
| |
* make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files, |
| |
including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a |
| |
derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution. |
| |
|
| |
* make or distribute a distribution of HTTPi that does not clearly |
| |
state the copyright (i.e. |
| |
|
| |
Contains or is based on the HTTPi web server |
| |
(C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved. |
| |
http://httpi.floodgap.com/ |
| |
|
| |
would be just about perfect), or make or distribute a derivative of |
| |
HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright. |
| |
|
| |
You MUST: |
| |
|
| |
* copyright your derivative works. You may not make them public domain. |
| |
|
| |
* include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative |
| |
works you create, as either a separate file or part of your |
| |
non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict |
| |
with these terms). |
| |
|
| |
* absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and |
| |
any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify |
| |
that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the |
| |
programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible, |
| |
entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life. |
| |
|
| |
If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you |
| |
wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so |
| |
does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else |
| |
liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users |
| |
of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless |
| |
under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license |
| |
terms in your derivative works, right?) |
| |
|
| |
Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these |
| |
terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't |
| |
agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't |
| |
even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't, |
| |
either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the |
| |
copyright holder, IN WRITING. |
| |
|
| |
I reserve the right to interpret this document, and I also reserve the right |
| |
to make license changes without notice effective on issue date. All legal |
| |
issues shall be dealt with in accordance with the State of California, United |
| |
States of America. |
| |
|
| |
Other than that, have a blast! Keep software free. |
