UNMODIFIED BINARY DISTRIBUTION LICENCE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PREAMBLE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GNU General Public License provides a legal guarantee that
|
||
|
|
software covered by it remains free (in the sense of freedom, not
|
||
|
|
price). It achieves this guarantee by imposing obligations on anyone
|
||
|
|
who chooses to distribute the software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of these obligations may be seen as unnecessarily burdensome. In
|
||
|
|
particular, when the source code for the software is already publicly
|
||
|
|
and freely available, there is minimal value in imposing upon each
|
||
|
|
distributor the obligation to provide the complete source code (or an
|
||
|
|
equivalent written offer to provide the complete source code).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Licence allows for the distribution of unmodified binaries built
|
||
|
|
from publicly available source code, without imposing the obligations
|
||
|
|
of the GNU General Public License upon anyone who chooses to
|
||
|
|
distribute only the unmodified binaries built from that source code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The extra permissions granted by this Licence apply only to unmodified
|
||
|
|
binaries built from source code which has already been made available
|
||
|
|
to the public in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public
|
||
|
|
Licence. Nothing in this Licence allows for the creation of
|
||
|
|
closed-source modified versions of the Program. Any modified versions
|
||
|
|
of the Program are subject to the usual terms and conditions of the
|
||
|
|
GNU General Public License.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Licence applies to any Program or other work which contains a
|
||
|
|
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
|
||
|
|
under the terms of this Unmodified Binary Distribution Licence. All
|
||
|
|
terms used in the text of this Licence are to be interpreted as they
|
||
|
|
are used in version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published
|
||
|
|
by the Free Software Foundation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have made this Program available to the public in both source
|
||
|
|
code and executable form in accordance with the terms of the GNU
|
||
|
|
General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation;
|
||
|
|
either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
|
||
|
|
version, then you are hereby granted an additional permission to use,
|
||
|
|
copy, and distribute the unmodified executable form of this Program
|
||
|
|
(the "Unmodified Binary") without restriction, including the right to
|
||
|
|
permit persons to whom the Unmodified Binary is furnished to do
|
||
|
|
likewise, subject to the following conditions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- when started running, the Program must display an announcement which
|
||
|
|
includes the details of your existing publication of the Program
|
||
|
|
made in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public License.
|
||
|
|
For example, the Program could display the URL of the publicly
|
||
|
|
available source code from which the Unmodified Binary was built.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- when exercising your right to grant permissions under this Licence,
|
||
|
|
you do not need to refer directly to the text of this Licence, but
|
||
|
|
you may not grant permissions beyond those granted to you by this
|
||
|
|
Licence.
