- GSVIEW FREE PUBLIC LICENCE
- (Version 3, 10th January 1996)
-
- Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996 Aladdin Enterprises,
- Menlo Park, California, U.S.A. All rights reserved.
-
- NOTE: This license is not the same as any of the GNU Licenses
- published by the Free Software Foundation. Its terms are
- substantially different from those of the GNU Licenses.
- If you are familiar with the GNU Licenses, please read this
- license with extra care.
-
-
- This Licence applies to the computer program known as "GSview."
- The "Program", below, refers to such program, and a "work
- based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work of
- the Program, such as a translation or a modification.
- The Program is a copyrighted work whose copyright is held by Russell
- Lang (the "Licensor").
-
- BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
- PROGRAM), YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND ALL
- ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING THE PROGRAM
- OR WORKS BASED ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS YOU
- PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS DERIVATIVE WORKS.
- THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND
- CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM.
-
- 1. Licences.
-
- Licensor hereby grants you the following rights, provided that you comply
- with all of the restrictions set forth in this Licence and provided,
- further, that you distribute an unmodified copy of this Licence with the
- Program:
-
- (a) You may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of the
- Program's source code as you receive it throughout the world, in any
- medium.
-
- (b) You may modify the Program, create works based on the Program and
- distribute copies of such throughout the world, in any medium.
-
- 2. Restrictions.
-
- This licence is subject to the following restrictions:
-
- (a) Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
- commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment is
- made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in payment
- for a copy of the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for some service
- related to the Program, or payment for some product or service that
- includes a copy of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples,
- and not an exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities). However, the
- following methods of distribution involving payment shall not in and of
- themselves be a violation of this restriction:
-
- (i) Posting the Program on a public access information storage and
- retrieval service for which a fee is received for retrieving information
- (such as an on-line service), provided that the fee is not
- content-dependent (i.e., the fee would be the same for retrieving the same
- volume of information consisting of random data).
-
- (ii) Distributing the Program on a CD-ROM, provided that the files
- containing the Program are reproduced entirely and verbatim on such
- CD-ROM, and provided further that all information on such CD-ROM be
- redistributable for non-commercial purposes without charge.
-
- (b) Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of the
- Program are not subject to this Licence and they are outside its scope.
- Functional use (running) of the Program is not restricted, and any output
- produced through the use of the Program is subject to this licence only if
- its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
- been made by running the Program).
-
- (c) You must meet all of the following conditions with respect to the
- distribution of any work based on the Program:
-
- (i) If you have modified the Program, you must cause your work to
- carry prominent notices stating that you have modified the Program's files
- and the date of any change;
-
- (ii) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
- in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
- thereof, to be licensed as a whole and at no charge to all third parties
- under the terms of this Licence;
-
- (iii) If the modified program normally reads commands
- interactively when run, you must cause it, at each time the modified
- program commences operation, to print or display an announcement including
- an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
- else, saying that you provide a warranty). Such notice must also state
- that users may redistribute the Program only under the conditions of this
- Licence and tell the user how to view the copy of this Licence included
- with the Program. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
- does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the
- Program is not required to print an announcement.);
-
- (iv) You must accompany any such work based on the Program with
- the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, delivered on a
- medium customarily used for software interchange. The source code for a
- work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
- For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for
- all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
- plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
- executable code. However, the source code distributed need not include
- anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
- with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
- system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
- accompanies the executable code;
-
- (v) You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipient's
- exercise of the rights granted herein.
-
- If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering the
- equivalent ability to copy from a designated place, then offering
- equivalent ability to copy the source code from the same place counts as
- distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
- compelled to copy the source code along with the object code.
-
- 3. Reservation of Rights.
-
- No rights are granted to the Program except as expressly set forth herein.
- You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
- expressly provided under this Licence. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
- modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
- automatically terminate your rights under this Licence. However, parties
- who have received copies, or rights, from you under this Licence will not
- have their licences terminated so long as such parties remain in full
- compliance.
-
- 4. Other Restrictions.
-
- If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
- countries for any reason, Licensor may add an explicit geographical
- distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
- permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
- this Licence incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
- Licence.
-
- 5. Limitations.
-
- THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
- WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
- LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
- PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE ENTIRE
- RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
- THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
- SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
- LICENSOR, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
- PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
- GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
- USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
- DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
- PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
- EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
- SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- 6. General.
-
- This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Victoria,
- Australia, excluding choice of law rules.
