2 | GNU X-CHESS GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
3 | ||
4 | Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
5 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
6 | of this license, but changing it is not allowed. | |
7 | ||
8 | The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the | |
9 | mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is | |
10 | intended to give everyone the right to share GNU X-Chess. To make | |
11 | sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make | |
12 | restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you | |
13 | to surrender the rights. Hence this license agreement. | |
14 | ||
15 | Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give | |
16 | away copies of GNU X-Chess, that you receive source code or else can get it | |
17 | if you want it, that you can change GNU X-Chess or use pieces of it in new | |
18 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
19 | ||
20 | To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to | |
21 | deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute | |
22 | copies of GNU X-Chess, you must give the recipients all the rights that you | |
23 | have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | |
24 | source code. And you must tell them their rights. | |
25 | ||
26 | Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone | |
27 | finds out that there is no warranty for GNU X-Chess. If GNU X-Chess is | |
28 | modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know | |
29 | that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems | |
30 | introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation. | |
31 | ||
32 | Therefore the Free Software Foundation, Inc. makes the following | |
33 | terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change | |
34 | GNU X-Chess. | |
35 | ||
36 | COPYING POLICIES | |
37 | ||
38 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU X-Chess source | |
39 | code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously | |
40 | and appropriately publish on each file a valid copyright notice | |
41 | "Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc.", containing the | |
42 | year of last change for the file in question; keep intact the notices | |
43 | on all files that refer to this License Agreement and to the absence | |
44 | of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the GNU X-Chess | |
45 | program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program. | |
46 | ||
47 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU X-Chess source code or | |
48 | any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under | |
49 | the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following: | |
50 | ||
51 | a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating | |
52 | who last changed such files and the date of any change; and | |
53 | ||
54 | b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, | |
55 | that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU X-Chess | |
56 | or any part thereof, to be freely distributed | |
57 | and licensed to all third parties on terms identical to those | |
58 | contained in this License Agreement (except that you may choose | |
59 | to grant more extensive warranty protection to third parties, | |
60 | at your option). | |
61 | ||
62 | c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it | |
63 | when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print | |
64 | an announcement including a valid copyright notice ("Copyright | |
65 | (C)", the year of authorship, and all copyright owners' names), | |
66 | saying that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | |
67 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | |
68 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of | |
69 | this License Agreement. | |
70 | ||
71 | 3. You may copy and distribute GNU X-Chess or any portion of it in | |
72 | compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs | |
73 | 1 and 2 above provided that you do the following: | |
74 | ||
75 | a) cause each such copy of GNU X-Chess to be accompanied by the | |
76 | corresponding machine-readable source code; or | |
77 | ||
78 | b) cause each such copy of GNU X-Chess to be accompanied by a | |
79 | written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party | |
80 | free (except for a nominal shipping charge) machine readable | |
81 | copy of the corresponding source code; or | |
82 | ||
83 | c) in the case of a recipient of GNU X-Chess in compiled, executable | |
84 | or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you | |
85 | shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy | |
86 | of the written offer of source code which you received along | |
87 | with the copy of GNU X-Chess. | |
88 | ||
89 | 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU X-Chess | |
90 | except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt | |
91 | otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU X-Chess is void and | |
92 | your rights to use GNU X-Chess under this License agreement shall be | |
93 | automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer | |
94 | software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have | |
95 | their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | |
96 | ||
97 | Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our | |
98 | software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc., | |

100 | ||
101 | NO WARRANTY | |
102 | ||
103 | BECAUSE GNU X-CHESS IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY | |
104 | NO WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT | |
105 | WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC, | |
106 | AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU X-CHESS "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | |
107 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | |
108 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
109 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | |
110 | PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE GNU X-CHESS PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, | |
111 | YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
112 | ||
113 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL FREE SOFTWARE | |
114 | FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND | |
115 | REDISTRIBUTE GNU X-CHESS AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR | |
116 | DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL, | |
117 | INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR | |
118 | INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA | |
119 | BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A | |
120 | FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH PROGRAMS NOT DISTRIBUTED BY | |
121 | FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC.) THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN | |
