wxWindows Licence
|
|
-----------------
|
|

Copyright (c) 1998 Julian Smart, Markus Holzem
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This licence is intended to protect wxWindows, its developers,
|
|
and its users, so that the considerable investment it represents
|
|
is not abused.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the L-GPL licence, you as a user are not obliged to
|
|
distribute wxWindows source code with your products. However,
|
|
you are prevented from selling the code without permission from
|
|
the authors, or denying others the rights to use or distribute
|
|
wxWindows in the way intended.
|
|
|
|
The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and
|
|
related material, and it gives you legal permission to copy,
|
|
distribute and/or modify the library. It also asserts that no
|
|
warranty is given by the authors for this or derived code.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the licence specifies that any patent involving
|
|
wxWindows, must be licenced for everyone's free use.
|
|
|
|
wxWindows Licence
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
|
|
|
|
1. This Licence Agreement applies to any software library which
|
|
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other
|
|
authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
|
|
this wxWindows Licence (also called "this Licence"). Each
|
|
licencee is addressed as "you".
|
|
|
|
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
|
|
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application
|
|
programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form
|
|
executables.
|
|
|
|
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or
|
|
work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work
|
|
based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative
|
|
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
|
|
Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
|
|
modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another
|
|
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
|
|
limitation in the term "modification".)
|
|
|
|
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
|
for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source
|
|
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus
|
|
any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used
|
|
to control compilation and installation of the library.
|
|
|
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
|
|
not covered by this Licence; they are outside its scope. The act
|
|
of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and
|
|
output from such a program is covered only if its contents
|
|
constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use
|
|
of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true
|
|
depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses
|
|
the Library does.
|
|
|
|
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
|
|
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
|
|
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
|
|
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
|
|
intact all the notices that refer to this Licence and to the
|
|
absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this Licence
|
|
along with the Library.
|
|
|
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
|
|
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
|
|
exchange for a fee.
|
|
|
|
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
|
|
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
|
|
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
|
|
of Section 1 above, provided that you cause the files modified
|
|
to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files
|
|
and the date of any change. With agreement from the authors of
|
|
wxWindows, you may charge for value added to the Library, for
|
|
example, a commercially supported version, or a port to a new
|
|
platform. It is expected that collaboration between such
|
|
commercial interests and the free wxWindows community will yield
|
|
benefits to both parties, since wxWindows represents a
|
|
substantial investment of time and effort. It is not in the
|
|
spirit of this agreement that commercial exploitation of
|
|
wxWindows should in any way detract from the free version.
|
|
|
|
4. You may copy and distribute the Library in object code or
|
|
derived library form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
|
|
provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding
|
|
machine-readable source code.
|
|
|
|
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to
|
|
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to
|
|
copy the source code from the same place satisfies the
|
|
requirement to distribute the source code, even though third
|
|
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
|
|
object code.
|
|
|
|
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicence, link with, or
|
|
distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
|
|
Licence. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicence,
|
|
link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will
|
|
automatically terminate your rights under this Licence.
|
|
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you
|
|
under this Licence will not have their licences terminated so
|
|
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
|
|
|
6. You are not required to accept this Licence, since you have
|
|
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
|
|
modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These
|
|
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this Licence.
|
|
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work
|
|
based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this
|
|
Licence to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
|
|
distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
|
|
|
|
7. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on
|
|
the Library), the recipient automatically receives a licence
|
|
from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or
|
|
modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You
|
|
may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
|
|
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
|
|
for enforcing compliance by third parties to this Licence.
|
|
|
|
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
|
|
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
|
|
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
|
|
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
|
|
this Licence, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
|
|
Licence. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
|
|
simultaneously your obligations under this Licence and any other
|
|
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
|
|
distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent licence
|
|
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
|
|
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you,
|
|
then the only way you could satisfy both it and this Licence
|
|
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
|
|
|
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
|
|
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
|
|
intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to
|
|
apply in other circumstances.
|
|
|
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
|
|
any patents or other property right claims or to contest
|
|
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
|
|
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
|
|
system which is implemented by public licence practices. Many
|
|
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
|
|
software distributed through that system in reliance on
|
|
consistent application of that system; it is up to the
|
|
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
|
|
software through any other system and a licencee cannot impose
|
|
that choice.
|
|
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
|
|
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this Licence.
|
|
|
|
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
|
|
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
|
|
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library
|
|
under this Licence may add an explicit geographical distribution
|
|
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
|
|
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
|
|
case, this Licence incorporates the limitation as if written in
|
|
the body of this Licence.
|
|
|
|
10. The authors of wxWindows may publish revised and/or new
|
|
versions of the wxWindows Licence from time to time. Such new
|
|
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
|
|
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
|
|
Library specifies a version number of this Licence which applies
|
|
to it and "any later version", you have the option of following
|
|
the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
|
|
version published by the wxWindows authors. If the Library does
|
|
not specify a licence version number, you may choose any version
|
|
ever published by the wxWindows authors.
|
|
|
|
11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other
|
|
free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
|
|
with these, write to the program author to ask for permission.
|
|
For software which is copyrighted by the wxWindows authors,
|
|
write to the wxWindows authors. Our decision will be guided by
|
|
the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives
|
|
of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
|
|
software generally.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
12. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENCED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
|
|
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
|
|
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT
|
|
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
|
|
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
|
|
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
|
|
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
|
LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
|
|
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO
|
|
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
|
|
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
|
|
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
|
|
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
|
|
INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS
|
|
OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH
|
|
ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
|
|
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
