INTRODUCTION
This license agreement protects the rights of members of the Harvard
Computer Society (HCS) for their work, both electronic and printed.
It outlines the restrictions and procedures on any work produced by a
Harvard Computer Society member declared under the protection of this
license.
All work produced by a Harvard Computer Society member under this
license is copyrighted and freely distributable. Software distributed
under the license is neither shareware not freeware. No mandatory
registration can be charged (although donations are generally
welcome), and all work is copyrighted by the author. Commercial
redistribution is prohibited. There is no warranty on any software.
The source code for all work is distributable under conditions set
by the author. Source may be freely distributable, distributable for
a fee, or not distributable at all! Source code may be modified for
individual use only. Redistribution of modified source code is
restricted by conditions set by the author.
This license only applies to Harvard Computer Society members, both
present and former.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. This license applies to all software written by Harvard Computer
Society members, both present and former, who choose to protect their
software under these terms and conditions. In order for members to
protect their software under this license, he/she must include a copy
of this license with their software. This license must be included in
all distributions of this software.
2. Work protected under this license is copyrighted. "Work" includes
documentation and other written work as well as source code. Work is
freely distributable under the restricted terms set by the author.
The restrictions are:
a) Registration cannot be charged for the distributed binaries. The
work must not be crippled in any way.
b) The author may choose to distribute binaries only; by no means is
he/she required to freely distribute the source code (although this is
encouraged). In order to restrict the distribution of source,
the author must make the terms of restriction explicit,
preferably in a file called "RESTRICTIONS". If no explicit
restrictions are explicitly stated, the source is freely available.
c) Source code may only be modified for individual use.
Redistributions of modified source are permissible only with the
expression permission of the original author. Modified source
must clearly state the name of the original author as well as the
date of modification.
d) Redistributed modified source is not protected by this license
unless the author of the modified source is or has been a member of
the HCS.
e) A fee may be charged for the physical act of distributing the
software only.
3. No modifications can be made to the work protected by this license
without the specific permission of the author. The author may choose
to charge those who wish to modify and redistribute his/her work, or
merely use parts of his/her work in their programs.
4. All work protected by this license is subject to the terms and
restrictions of this license. Any attempt to distribute, copy, or
modify this software under conditions other than those listed here
will automatically render this license void.
5. By distributing, copying, or modifying software protected by this
license, you indicate your acceptance of the terms and conditions
listed here.
6. No warranty is supplied for work under the protection of this
license unless otherwise stated by the author. The author may choose
to charge a fee for a warranty.
7. To apply these terms and conditions, the author must distribute a
copy of this license with all work. Additionally, the author should
include the following lines in all work:
Copyright (C) [year] [author's name]
All rights reserved
Additionally, these lines should appear at one point in the actual
software, preferably at the beginning or end.
8. The Harvard Computer Society reserves the right to change, rewrite,
and modify this license. Each new modification will be labelled with
a new version number, stated at the beginning of this document.
DISCLAIMER
The Harvard Computer Society hereby disclaims all rights to the
copyright of the work distributed under the protection of this
license.
