By contrast, our general public license is +intended to give everyone the right to share GNU X-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 X-Chess, that you receive source code or else can get it +if you want it, that you can change GNU X-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 X-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 X-Chess. If GNU X-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 X-Chess. + + COPYING POLICIES + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU X-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 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 X-Chess +program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU X-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 X-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 X-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 X-Chess to be accompanied by the + corresponding machine-readable source code; or + + b) cause each such copy of GNU X-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 X-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 X-Chess. + + 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU X-Chess +except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt +otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU X-Chess is void and +your rights to use GNU X-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 X-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 X-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 X-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 X-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. +====================================================================== |
