Plain English Copyright Notice
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This file is not intended to be the actual License. The reason this file
|
|
||||||
exists is that we here are programmers and engineers. We aren't lawyers. We
|
|
||||||
provide licenses that we THINK say the right things, but we have our own
|
|
||||||
intentions at heart. This is a plain-english explanation of what those
|
|
||||||
intentions are, and if you follow them you will be within the "spirit" of
|
|
||||||
the license.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The intent is for us to enjoy writing software that is useful to us (the
|
|
||||||
AUTHORS) and allow others to use it freely and also benefit from the work we
|
|
||||||
put into making it. We don't want to restrict others using it. They should
|
|
||||||
not *HAVE* to make the source code of the applications they write that
|
|
||||||
simply link to these libraries (be that statically or dynamically), or for
|
|
||||||
them to be limited as to what license they choose to use (be it open, closed
|
|
||||||
or anything else). But we would like to know you are using these libraries.
|
|
||||||
We simply would like to know that it has been useful to someone. This is why
|
|
||||||
we ask for acknowledgement of some sort.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can do what you want with the source of this software - it doesn't
|
|
||||||
matter. We still have it here for ourselves and it is open and free to use
|
|
||||||
and download and play with. It can't be taken away. We don't really mind what
|
|
||||||
you do with the source to your software. We would simply like to know that
|
|
||||||
you are using it - especially if it makes it to a commerical product. If you
|
|
||||||
simply e-mail all the AUTHORS (see COPYING and AUTHORS files) telling us, and
|
|
||||||
then make sure you include a paragraph or page in the manual for the product
|
|
||||||
with the copyright notice and state that you used this software, we will be
|
|
||||||
very happy. If you want to contribute back modifications and fixes you may have
|
|
||||||
made we will welcome those too with open arms (generally). If you want help
|
|
||||||
with changes needed, ports needed or features to be added, arrangements can
|
|
||||||
be easily made with some dialogue.
