114:
115: HTTPi is (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
116:
117: ** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please **
118: ** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author **
119: ** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages. **
120:
121: You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to
122: pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though
123: I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into
124: HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions).
125:
126: HTTPi must be free, and any and all distributions and derivatives must
127: themselves be free. By free software I do not necessarily mean free in the
128: way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions
129: be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code
130: added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are
131: signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include
132: the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port
133: of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not
134: have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL.
135:
136: You MAY NOT:
137:
138: * make changes and slap your copyright on the entire package. Your
139: copyright extends only to the changes you've made. My copyright,
140: and any copyrights asserted by HTTPi's contributors, remain.
141:
142: * supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a
143: HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions.
144: This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any
145: distribution or derivative work.
146:
147: The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system
148: distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay,
149: for example.
150:
151: You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that
152: is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the
153: License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive.
154:
155: * make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files,
156: including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a
157: derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution.
158:
159: * make or distribute a distribution of HTTPi that does not clearly
160: state the copyright (i.e.
161:
162: Contains or is based on the HTTPi web server
163: (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
164: http://httpi.floodgap.com/
165:
166: would be just about perfect), or make or distribute a derivative of
167: HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright.
168:
169: You MUST:
170:
171: * copyright your derivative works. You may not make them public domain.
172:
173: * include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative
174: works you create, as either a separate file or part of your
175: non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict
176: with these terms).
177:
178: * absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and
179: any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify
180: that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the
181: programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible,
182: entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life.
183:
184: If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you
185: wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so
186: does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else
187: liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users
188: of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless
189: under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license
190: terms in your derivative works, right?)
191:
192: Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these
193: terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't
194: agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't
195: even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't,
196: either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the
197: copyright holder, IN WRITING.
198:
199: I reserve the right to interpret this document, and I also reserve the right
200: to make license changes without notice effective on issue date. All legal
201: issues shall be dealt with in accordance with the State of California, United
202: States of America.
203:
204: Other than that, have a blast! Keep software free.
