2: GDB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
3: (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
4:
5: Copyright (C) 1988 Richard M. Stallman
6: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7: of this license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also
8: use this wording to make the terms for other programs.
9:
10: The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
11: mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
12: intended to give everyone the right to share GDB. To make sure that
13: you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
14: that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
15: the rights. Hence this license agreement.
16:
17: Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
18: away copies of GDB, that you receive source code or else can get it
19: if you want it, that you can change GDB or use pieces of it in new
20: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
21:
22: To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
23: deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
24: copies of GDB, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
25: have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
26: source code. And you must tell them their rights.
27:
28: Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
29: finds out that there is no warranty for GDB. If GDB is modified by
30: someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
31: they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
32: by others will not reflect on our reputation.
33:
34: Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation,
35: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
36: allowed to distribute or change GDB.
37:
38:
39: COPYING POLICIES
40:
41: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GDB source code as
42: you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
43: appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
44: (C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with whatever year is
45: appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this
46: License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
47: other recipients of the GDB program a copy of this License Agreement
48: along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee for the
49: physical act of transferring a copy.
50:
51: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GDB or any portion of it,
52: and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
53: Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
54:
55: a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
56: that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
57:
58: b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
59: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GDB or any
60: part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties on
61: terms identical to those contained in this License Agreement
62: (except that you may choose to grant more extensive warranty
63: protection to third parties, at your option).
64:
65: c) if the modified program serves as a debugger, cause it when
66: started running in the simplest and usual way, to print an
67: announcement including a valid copyright notice "Copyright (C)
68: 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year that is
69: appropriate), saying that there is no warranty (or else, saying
70: that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
71: program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a
72: copy of this License Agreement.
73:
74: d) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
75: transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
76: protection in exchange for a fee.
77:
78: Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
79: derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
80: the other program under the scope of these terms.
81:
82: 3. You may copy and distribute GDB (or a portion or derivative of it,
83: under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
84: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
85:
86: a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
87: source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
88: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
89:
90: b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
91: years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
92: shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
93: corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
94: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
95:
96: c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
97: corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
98: allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
99: received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
100:
101: For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for
102: all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
103: source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the
104: operating system on which the executable file runs.
105:
106: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB
107: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
108: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB is void and
109: your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
110: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
111: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
112: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
113:
114: 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GDB into other free programs
115: whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free
116: Software Foundation at 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have not
117: yet worked out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will
118: often permit this. We will be guided by the two goals of preserving
119: the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
120: promoting the sharing and reuse of software.
121:
122: In other words, go ahead and share GDB, but don't try to stop
123: anyone else from sharing it farther. Help stamp out software hoarding!
124:
125: NO WARRANTY
126:
127: BECAUSE GDB IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
128: WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
129: WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
130: RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GDB "AS IS" WITHOUT
131: WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
132: LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
133: A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
134: PERFORMANCE OF GDB IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GDB PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
135: ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
136:
137: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
138: STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
139: WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GDB AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
140: YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
141: SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
142: INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
143: BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
144: FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GDB, EVEN
145: IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
146: ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
