! 146: HTTPi is (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
! 147:
! 148: ** While HTTPi is free, it is NOT distributed under CopyLeft or GPL. Please **
! 149: ** read on to find out what the differences are. Licenses protect author **
! 150: ** rights -- please honour them, even with free software packages. **
! 151:
! 152: You can modify and tweak HTTPi to your heart's content. You don't need to
! 153: pay me for using it, and you don't need my permission to make changes (though
! 154: I or an authorised maintainer will be the only ones checking code back into
! 155: HTTPi's code base for authorised patches and new versions).
! 156:
! 157: HTTPi must be free, and any and all distributions and derivatives must
! 158: themselves be free. By free software I do not necessarily mean free in the
! 159: way that Richard Stallman of GNU fame might -- merely that distributions
! 160: be without cost. "Derivatives" shall constitute distributions with code
! 161: added or removed from the base distribution, or distributions that are
! 162: signficantly based on the source code (though may not necessarily include
! 163: the source code itself), in the Author's sole judgement. This means a C port
! 164: of HTTPi is still a derivative, or a Win32 version, or whatever. You do not
! 165: have to provide source code, which is a deviation from GPL.
! 166:
! 167: You MAY NOT:
! 168:
! 169: * make changes and slap your copyright on the entire package. Your
! 170: copyright extends only to the changes you've made. My copyright,
! 171: and any copyrights asserted by HTTPi's contributors, remain.
! 172:
! 173: * supersede the license agreement here. You may not charge a fee for a
! 174: HTTPi distribution, for example. Derivatives count as distributions.
! 175: This license agreement, therefore, applies IN FULL to any
! 176: distribution or derivative work.
! 177:
! 178: The exception: you MAY include HTTPi as part of an operating system
! 179: distribution and sell that. Linux dists and FreeBSD dists are okay,
! 180: for example.
! 181:
! 182: You also MAY NOT place your derivative work under GPL, because that
! 183: is a different, though similar, licensing agreement, and the
! 184: License here does reflect constraints that are mutually exclusive.
! 185:
! 186: * make a distribution of HTTPi that does not include ALL files,
! 187: including this license, and ONLY these files. If not, it is a
! 188: derivative work, and you may NOT call it an official distribution.
! 189:
! 190: * make or distribute a distribution of HTTPi that does not clearly
! 191: state the copyright (i.e.
! 192:
! 193: Contains or is based on the HTTPi web server
! 194: (C)1998-2001 Cameron Kaiser. All rights reserved.
! 195: http://httpi.floodgap.com/
! 196:
! 197: would be just about perfect), or make or distribute a derivative of
! 198: HTTPi that does not clearly state the copyright.
! 199:
! 200: You MUST:
! 201:
! 202: * copyright your derivative works. You may not make them public domain.
! 203:
! 204: * include this LICENSE agreement in any and all derivative
! 205: works you create, as either a separate file or part of your
! 206: non-mutually exclusive license (that is, does not conflict
! 207: with these terms).
! 208:
! 209: * absolve the programmers of HTTPi (including yours truly :-) and
! 210: any contributors) of any liability, real or imagined, and certify
! 211: that you are using this program AT YOUR OWN RISK. While the
! 212: programmers shall endeavour to make HTTPi as bug-free as possible,
! 213: entomological phenomena can and do occur. Such is life.
! 214:
! 215: If you make a derivative work of HTTPi, you MAY decide that you
! 216: wish to offer warranty support. You may do so, but your doing so
! 217: does in no way make me, the programmers of HTTPi, or anyone else
! 218: liable for the fulfillment of your warranty, and you and the users
! 219: of your derivative work must agree to hold us legally blameless
! 220: under ALL circumstances. (Remember, no mutually exclusive license
! 221: terms in your derivative works, right?)
! 222:
! 223: Your usage of this program constitutes your binding acceptance of these
! 224: terms. Don't even think about starting HTTPi up on your system if you don't
! 225: agree to follow the terms detailed in this license IN THEIR ENTIRETY. Don't
! 226: even think about modifying it, patching it or distributing it if you don't,
! 227: either. Exceptions to these restrictions must be obtained from me, the
! 228: copyright holder, IN WRITING.
! 229:
! 230: I reserve the right to interpret this document, and I also reserve the right
! 231: to make license changes without notice effective on issue date. All legal
! 232: issues shall be dealt with in accordance with the State of California, United
! 233: States of America.
! 234:
! 235: Other than that, have a blast! Keep software free.
