Here + is a rough summary of which licenses apply to which parts of this + package (but check the individual files to be sure!): + + - liblzma is in the public domain. + + - xz, xzdec, and lzmadec command line tools are in the public + domain unless GNU getopt_long had to be compiled and linked + in from the lib directory. The getopt_long code is under + GNU LGPLv2.1+. + + - The scripts to grep, diff, and view compressed files have been + adapted from gzip. These scripts and their documentation are + under GNU GPLv2+. + + - All the documentation in the doc directory and most of the + XZ Utils specific documentation files in other directories + are in the public domain. + + - Translated messages are in the public domain. + + - The build system contains public domain files, and files that + are under GNU GPLv2+ or GNU GPLv3+. None of these files end up + in the binaries being built. + + - Test files and test code in the tests directory, and debugging + utilities in the debug directory are in the public domain. + + - The extra directory may contain public domain files, and files + that are under various free software licenses. + + You can do whatever you want with the files that have been put into + the public domain. If you find public domain legally problematic, + take the previous sentence as a license grant. If you still find + the lack of copyright legally problematic, you have too many + lawyers. + + As usual, this software is provided "as is", without any warranty. + + If you copy significant amounts of public domain code from XZ Utils + into your project, acknowledging this somewhere in your software is + polite (especially if it is proprietary, non-free software), but + naturally it is not legally required. Here is an example of a good + notice to put into "about box" or into documentation: + + This software includes code from XZ Utils <http://tukaani.org/xz/>. + + The following license texts are included in the following files: + - COPYING.LGPLv2.1: GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 + - COPYING.GPLv2: GNU General Public License version 2 + - COPYING.GPLv3: GNU General Public License version 3 + + Note that the toolchain (compiler, linker etc.) may add some code + pieces that are copyrighted. Thus, it is possible that e.g. liblzma + binary wouldn't actually be in the public domain in its entirety + even though it contains no copyrighted code from the XZ Utils source + package. + + If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the author(s) for more + information. + |
