2: GDB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1.1.1.2 ! root 3: (Clarified 20 March 1987)
1.1 root 4:
5: Copyright (C) 1986 Richard M. Stallman
6: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7: of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
8:
9: The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
10: mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
11: intended to give everyone the right to share GDB. To make sure that
12: you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
13: that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
14: the rights. Hence this license agreement.
15:
16: Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
17: away copies of GDB, that you receive source code or else can get it
18: if you want it, that you can change GDB or use pieces of it in new
19: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
20:
21: To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
22: deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
23: copies of GDB, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
24: have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
25: source code. And you must tell them their rights.
26:
27: Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
28: finds out that there is no warranty for GDB. If GDB is modified by
29: someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
30: they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
31: by others will not reflect on our reputation.
32:
1.1.1.2 ! root 33: Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation,
1.1 root 34: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
35: allowed to distribute or change GDB.
36:
37:
38: COPYING POLICIES
39:
40: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GDB source code as
41: you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
42: appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
43: (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year updated if
44: that is appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer
45: to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give
46: any other recipients of the GDB program a copy of this License
1.1.1.2 ! root 47: Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
! 48: for the physical act of transferring a copy.
1.1 root 49:
50: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GDB or any portion of it,
51: and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
52: Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
53:
54: a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
55: that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
56:
57: b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
1.1.1.2 ! root 58: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GDB or any
! 59: part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties on
! 60: terms identical to those contained in this License Agreement
! 61: (except that you may choose to grant more extensive warranty
! 62: protection to third parties, at your option).
1.1 root 63:
64: c) if the modified program serves as a debugger, cause it
65: when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
66: an announcement including a valid copyright notice
67: "Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with
68: the year updated if appropriate), saying that there
69: is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
70: a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
71: these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
72: this License Agreement.
73:
1.1.1.2 ! root 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:
1.1 root 78: 3. You may copy and distribute GDB or any portion of it in
79: compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
80: 1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
81:
82: a) cause each such copy to be accompanied by the
83: corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
84: be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
85:
86: b) cause each such copy to be accompanied by a
87: written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
88: free (except for a nominal shipping charge) a machine readable
89: copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
90: under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
91:
92: c) in the case of a recipient of GDB in compiled, executable
93: or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
94: shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
95: of the written offer of source code which you received along
96: with the copy you received.
97:
98: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB
99: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
100: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB is void and
101: your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
102: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
103: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
104: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
105:
1.1.1.2 ! root 106: 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GDB into other free
! 107: programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free
! 108: Software Foundation at 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have not yet
! 109: worked out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit
! 110: this. We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
! 111: all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse
! 112: of software.
! 113:
1.1 root 114: In other words, go ahead and share GDB, but don't try to stop
115: anyone else from sharing it farther. Help stamp out software hoarding!
116:
117: NO WARRANTY
118:
119: BECAUSE GDB IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
120: WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
121: WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
122: RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GDB "AS IS" WITHOUT
123: WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
124: LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
125: A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
126: PERFORMANCE OF GDB IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GDB PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
127: ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
128:
129: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
130: STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
131: WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GDB AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
132: YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
133: SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
134: INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
135: BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
136: FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GDB, EVEN

138: ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
