1.1 ! root 1: ! 2: NOTE! The GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software ! 3: Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (/dev/bios ! 4: driver)is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it. ! 5: ! 6: Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as this driver ! 7: is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not ! 8: v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated. ! 9: ! 10: Stefan Reinauer ! 11: ! 12: ---------------------------------------- ! 13: ! 14: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE ! 15: Version 2, June 1991 ! 16: ! 17: Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ! 18: 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA, 02110-1301 USA ! 19: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies ! 20: of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. ! 21: ! 22: Preamble ! 23: ! 24: The licenses for most software are designed to take away your ! 25: freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public ! 26: License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free ! 27: software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This ! 28: General Public License applies to most of the Free Software ! 29: Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to ! 30: using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by ! 31: the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to ! 32: your programs, too. ! 33: ! 34: When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not ! 35: price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you ! 36: have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for ! 37: this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it ! 38: if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it ! 39: in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. ! 40: ! 41: To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid ! 42: anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. ! 43: These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you ! 44: distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. ! 45: ! 46: For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether ! 47: gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that ! 48: you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the ! 49: source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their ! 50: rights. ! 51: ! 52: We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and ! 53: (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, ! 54: distribute and/or modify the software. ! 55: ! 56: Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain ! 57: that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free ! 58: software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we ! 59: want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so ! 60: that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original ! 61: authors' reputations. ! 62: ! 63: Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software ! 64: patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free ! 65: program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the ! 66: program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any ! 67: patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. ! 68: ! 69: The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and ! 70: modification follow. ! 71: ! 72: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE ! 73: TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION ! 74: ! 75: 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains ! 76: a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed ! 77: under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, ! 78: refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" ! 79: means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: ! 80: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, ! 81: either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another ! 82: language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in ! 83: the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". ! 84: ! 85: Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not ! 86: covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of ! 87: running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program ! 88: is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the ! 89: Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). ! 90: Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. ! 91: ! 92: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's ! 93: source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you ! 94: conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate ! 95: copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the ! 96: notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; ! 97: and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License ! 98: along with the Program. ! 99: ! 100: You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and ! 101: you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. ! 102: ! 103: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion ! 104: of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and ! 105: distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 ! 106: above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: ! 107: ! 108: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices ! 109: stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. ! 110: ! 111: b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in ! 112: whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any ! 113: part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third ! 114: parties under the terms of this License. ! 115: ! 116: c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively ! 117: when run, you must cause it, when started running for such ! 118: interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an ! 119: announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a ! 120: notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide ! 121: a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under ! 122: these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this ! 123: License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but ! 124: does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on ! 125: the Program is not required to print an announcement.) ! 126: ! 127: These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If ! 128: identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, ! 129: and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in ! 130: themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those ! 131: sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you ! 132: distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based ! 133: on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of ! 134: this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the ! 135: entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. ! 136: ! 137: Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest ! 138: your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to ! 139: exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or ! 140: collective works based on the Program. ! 141: ! 142: In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program ! 143: with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of ! 144: a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under ! 145: the scope of this License. ! 146: ! 147: 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, ! 148: under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of ! 149: Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: ! 150: ! 151: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable ! 152: source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections ! 153: 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, ! 154: ! 155: b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three ! 156: years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your ! 157: cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete ! 158: machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be ! 159: distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium ! 160: customarily used for software interchange; or, ! 161: ! 162: c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer ! 163: to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is ! 164: allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you ! 165: received the program in object code or executable form with such ! 166: an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) ! 167: ! 168: The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for ! 169: making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source ! 170: code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any ! 171: associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to ! 172: control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a ! 173: special exception, the source code distributed need not include ! 174: anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary ! 175: form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the ! 176: operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component ! 177: itself accompanies the executable. ! 178: ! 179: If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering ! 180: access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent ! 181: access to copy the source code from the same place counts as ! 182: distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not ! 183: compelled to copy the source along with the object code. ! 184: ! 185: 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program ! 186: except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt ! 187: otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is ! 188: void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. ! 189: However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under ! 190: this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such ! 191: parties remain in full compliance. ! 192: ! 193: 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not ! 194: signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or ! 195: distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are ! 196: prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by ! 197: modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the ! 198: Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and ! 199: all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying ! 200: the Program or works based on it. ! 201: ! 202: 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the ! 203: Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the ! 204: original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to ! 205: these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further ! 206: restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. ! 207: You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to ! 208: this License. ! 209: ! 210: 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent ! 211: infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), ! 212: conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or ! 213: otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not ! 214: excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot ! 215: distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this ! 216: License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you ! 217: may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent ! 218: license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by ! 219: all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then ! 220: the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to ! 221: refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. ! 222: ! 223: If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under ! 224: any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to ! 225: apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other ! 226: circumstances. ! 227: ! 228: It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any ! 229: patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any ! 230: such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the ! 231: integrity of the free software distribution system, which is ! 232: implemented by public license practices. Many people have made ! 233: generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed ! 234: through that system in reliance on consistent application of that ! 235: system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing ! 236: to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot ! 237: impose that choice. ! 238: ! 239: This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to ! 240: be a consequence of the rest of this License. ! 241: ! 242: 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in ! 243: certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the ! 244: original copyright holder who places the Program under this License ! 245: may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding ! 246: those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among ! 247: countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates ! 248: the limitation as if written in the body of this License. ! 249: ! 250: 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions ! 251: of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will ! 252: be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to ! 253: address new problems or concerns. ! 254: ! 255: Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program ! 256: specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any ! 257: later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions ! 258: either of that version or of any later version published by the Free ! 259: Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of ! 260: this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software ! 261: Foundation. ! 262: ! 263: 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free ! 264: programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author ! 265: to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free ! 266: Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes ! 267: make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals ! 268: of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and ! 269: of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. ! 270: ! 271: NO WARRANTY ! 272: ! 273: 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY ! 274: FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN ! 275: OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES ! 276: PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED ! 277: OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ! 278: MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS ! 279: TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE ! 280: PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, ! 281: REPAIR OR CORRECTION. ! 282: ! 283: 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING ! 284: WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR ! 285: REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, ! 286: INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING ! 287: OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED ! 288: TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY ! 289: YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER ! 290: PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE ! 291: POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ! 292: ! 293: END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS ! 294: ! 295: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs ! 296: ! 297: If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest ! 298: possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it ! 299: free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. ! 300: ! 301: To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest ! 302: to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively ! 303: convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least ! 304: the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. ! 305: ! 306: <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> ! 307: Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> ! 308: ! 309: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify ! 310: it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by ! 311: the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or ! 312: (at your option) any later version. ! 313: ! 314: This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, ! 315: but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of ! 316: MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the ! 317: GNU General Public License for more details. ! 318: ! 319: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License ! 320: along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software ! 321: Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA, 02110-1301 USA ! 322: ! 323: ! 324: Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. ! 325: ! 326: If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this ! 327: when it starts in an interactive mode: ! 328: ! 329: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author ! 330: Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. ! 331: This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it ! 332: under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. ! 333: ! 334: The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate ! 335: parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may ! 336: be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be ! 337: mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. ! 338: ! 339: You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your ! 340: school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if ! 341: necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: ! 342: ! 343: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ! 344: `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. ! 345: ! 346: <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 ! 347: Ty Coon, President of Vice ! 348: ! 349: This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into ! 350: proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may ! 351: consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the ! 352: library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General ! 353: Public License instead of this License.
