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. |
