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. |
