- GNU CHESS GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-
- Copyright (C) 1986,1987 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
-mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
-intended to give everyone the right to share GNU Chess. To make
-sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make
-restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you
-to surrender the rights. Hence this license agreement.
-
- Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
-away copies of GNU Chess, that you receive source code or else can get it
-if you want it, that you can change GNU Chess or use pieces of it in new
-free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
-deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
-copies of GNU Chess, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
-have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must tell them their rights.
-
- Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
-finds out that there is no warranty for GNU Chess. If GNU Chess is
-modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know
-that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems
-introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation.
-
- Therefore the Free Software Foundation, Inc. makes the following
-terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change
-GNU Chess.
-
- COPYING POLICIES
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU Chess source
-code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
-and appropriately publish on each file a valid copyright notice
-"Copyright (C) 1986,1987 Free Software Foundation, Inc.", containing the
-year of last change for the file in question; keep intact the notices
-on all files that refer to this License Agreement and to the absence
-of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the GNU Chess
-program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU Chess source code or
-any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under
-the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
-
- a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
- who last changed such files and the date of any change; and
-
- b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
- that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU Chess
- or any part thereof, to be freely distributed
- and licensed to all third parties on terms identical to those
- contained in this License Agreement (except that you may choose
- to grant more extensive warranty protection to third parties,
- at your option).
-
- c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it
- when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
- an announcement including a valid copyright notice ("Copyright
- (C)", the year of authorship, and all copyright owners' names),
- saying that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
- a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
- these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
- this License Agreement.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute GNU Chess or any portion of it in
-compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
-1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
-
- a) cause each such copy of GNU Chess to be accompanied by the
- corresponding machine-readable source code; or
-
- b) cause each such copy of GNU Chess to be accompanied by a
- written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
- free (except for a nominal shipping charge) machine readable
- copy of the corresponding source code; or
-
- c) in the case of a recipient of GNU Chess in compiled, executable
- or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
- shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
- of the written offer of source code which you received along
- with the copy of GNU Chess.
-
- 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Chess
-except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Chess is void and
-your rights to use GNU Chess under this License agreement shall be
-automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
-software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
-their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
-Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
-software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
-1000 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138, or call (617) 876-3296.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- BECAUSE GNU CHESS IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY
-NO WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
-WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
-AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU CHESS "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
-KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
-IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
-PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
-PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE GNU CHESS PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
-YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL FREE SOFTWARE
-FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND
-REDISTRIBUTE GNU CHESS AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
-DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL,
-INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
-INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
-BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
-FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH PROGRAMS NOT DISTRIBUTED BY
-FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC.) THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN
-ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY
-OTHER PARTY.
