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. + +Carsten Haitzler <raster@rasterman.com> |
