<p><hr>
|
|
|
|
<p>IRC Services is distributed under the <a href=GPL.html>GNU General
|
|
Public License, version 2</a> or later (please read the license for the
|
|
exact terms, of which this section is only a summary). Under this license,
|
|
you may distribute Services either as-is or modified, either for free or
|
|
for profit, with the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
<p><ul><li>You must make the source code to the entire program, including
|
|
any modifications, available to anyone who asks for it.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>You must distribute the program under the GNU General Public
|
|
License; you may not change the licensing terms, except that you may
|
|
elect to use a newer version of the license.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>If you make any changes to any files included with the program,
|
|
you must include a clear notice of your changes in each changed file.
|
|
(Also note that under most countries' copyright laws, it is illegal to
|
|
remove or alter copyright notices on copyrighted material, such as
|
|
Services.)</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is particularly important to keep in mind for programs which use
|
|
code from Services, which includes not only derivative programs distributed
|
|
under a different name but any program that uses code from any part of
|
|
Services. Under the GNU General Public License, <i>if you use code from
|
|
Services in another program and distribute the other program with the
|
|
Services code in it, then the other program is considered a "derivative
|
|
work" of Services and must be distributed under the terms above.</i> If
|
|
this is not acceptable to you, you have three options:
|
|
|
|
<p><ul><li>Do not use Services code at all.
|
|
|
|
<p><li>Release the part of the program that uses Services code
|
|
separately from the rest of your program (for example, as a run-time
|
|
loadable module), if this is possible. In this case, the part of the
|
|
program that uses Services code must be released under the GNU General
|
|
Public License, but the remainder need not be. Note, however, that your
|
|
program must function substantially the same whether the part with the
|
|
Services code is present or not.
|
|
|
|
<p><li><a href="1.html#6">Contact the author</a> directly and ask for
|
|
permission to use the code under different terms. In this case, please
|
|
state clearly what part of Services you want to use and what you are using
|
|
it for, as well as the terms under which your software will be released and
|
|
used. (I have in the past allowed small portions of the Services source
|
|
code to be used under alternate terms.)</ul>
