 HTTPi is (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.  
   
 ** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please **  
 ** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author    **  
 ** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages.          **  
   
 You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to  
 pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though  
 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.
