+ +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. + +Revised 12/24/2000 + ++ + -
