2: GDB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
3:
4: Copyright (C) 1986 Richard M. Stallman
5: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
6: of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
7:
8: The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
9: mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
10: intended to give everyone the right to share GDB. To make sure that
11: you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
12: that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
13: the rights. Hence this license agreement.
14:
15: Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
16: away copies of GDB, that you receive source code or else can get it
17: if you want it, that you can change GDB or use pieces of it in new
18: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
19:
20: To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
21: deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
22: copies of GDB, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
23: have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
24: source code. And you must tell them their rights.
25:
26: Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
27: finds out that there is no warranty for GDB. If GDB is modified by
28: someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
29: they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
30: by others will not reflect on our reputation.
31:
32: Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Fundation,
33: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
34: allowed to distribute or change GDB.
35:
36:
37: COPYING POLICIES
38:
39: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GDB source code as
40: you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
41: appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
42: (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year updated if
43: that is appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer
44: to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give
45: any other recipients of the GDB program a copy of this License
46: Agreement along with the program.
47:
48: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GDB or any portion of it,
49: and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
50: Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
51:
52: a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
53: that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
54:
55: b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
56: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GDB
57: or any part thereof, to be freely distributed
58: and licensed to all third parties on terms identical to those
59: contained in this License Agreement (except that you may choose
60: to grant more extensive warranty protection to third parties,
61: at your option).
62:
63: c) if the modified program serves as a debugger, cause it
64: when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
65: an announcement including a valid copyright notice
66: "Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with
67: the year updated if appropriate), saying that there
68: is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
69: a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
70: these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
71: this License Agreement.
72:
73: 3. You may copy and distribute GDB or any portion of it in
74: compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
75: 1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
76:
77: a) cause each such copy to be accompanied by the
78: corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
79: be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
80:
81: b) cause each such copy to be accompanied by a
82: written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
83: free (except for a nominal shipping charge) a machine readable
84: copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
85: under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
86:
87: c) in the case of a recipient of GDB in compiled, executable
88: or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
89: shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
90: of the written offer of source code which you received along
91: with the copy you received.
92:
93: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB
94: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
95: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB is void and
96: your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
97: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
98: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
99: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
100:
101: In other words, go ahead and share GDB, but don't try to stop
102: anyone else from sharing it farther. Help stamp out software hoarding!
103:
104: NO WARRANTY
105:
106: BECAUSE GDB IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
107: WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
108: WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
109: RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GDB "AS IS" WITHOUT
110: WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
111: LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
112: A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
113: PERFORMANCE OF GDB IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GDB PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
114: ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
115:
116: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
117: STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
118: WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GDB AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
119: YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
120: SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
121: INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
122: BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
123: FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GDB, EVEN
124: IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
125: ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
