2: BISON 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 BISON. 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 BISON, that you receive source code or else can get it
19: if you want it, that you can change BISON 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 BISON, 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 BISON. If BISON 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 Fundation,
35: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
36: allowed to distribute or change BISON.
37:
38:
39: COPYING POLICIES
40:
41: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of BISON 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) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with whatever year is
45: appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer
46: to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give
47: any other recipients of the BISON program a copy of this License
48: Agreement along with the program.
49:
50: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of BISON 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,
58: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of BISON or
59: any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
60: parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
61: Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
62: warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your
63: option)
64:
65: c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
66: transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
67: protection in exchange for a fee.
68:
69: Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
70: derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
71: the other program under the scope of these terms.
72:
73: 3. You may copy and distribute BISON (or a portion or derivative of it,
74: under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
75: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
76:
77: a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
78: source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
79: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
80:
81: b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
82: years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
83: shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
84: corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
85: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
86:
87: c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
88: corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
89: allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
90: received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
91:
92: For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for
93: all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
94: source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the
95: operating system on which the executable file runs.
96:
97: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer BISON
98: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
99: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer BISON is void and
100: your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
101: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
102: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
103: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
104:
105: 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GNU CC into other free programs
106: whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free Software
107: Foundation at 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have not yet worked
108: out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit this.
109: We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
110: derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
111: software.
112:
113: Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
114: software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
115: 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, or call (617) 876-3296.
116:
117: In other words, go ahead and share BISON, but don't try to stop
118: anyone else from sharing it farther. Help stamp out software hoarding!
119:
120: NO WARRANTY
121:
122: BECAUSE BISON IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
123: WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
124: WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
125: RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE BISON "AS IS" WITHOUT
126: WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
127: LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
128: A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
129: PERFORMANCE OF BISON IS WITH YOU. SHOULD BISON PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
130: ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
131:
132: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
133: STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
134: WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE BISON AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
135: YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
136: SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
137: INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
138: BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
139: FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) BISON, EVEN
140: IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
141: ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
