- -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 - -- -
