Remove the license summaries since the people on debian-legal came to
the conclusion that it's to difficult to maintain. Use modified text by MJ Ray that only lists some licenses currently used in main and non-free and links to some "unofficial" summaries and statements.

- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- Preamble
-
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, 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 show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
- b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
- whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
- part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
- parties under the terms of this License.
-
- c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
- when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
- interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
- announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
- notice 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. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
- does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
- the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
- a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
- source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
- 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
- years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
- cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
- machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
- distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
- customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
- to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
- allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
- received the program in object code or executable form with such
- an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
- 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
- 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
- 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
- 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
- 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
- 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "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
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
- How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
- <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
- Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
-
- This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
- it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
- the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
- (at your option) any later version.
-
- This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
- but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
- MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
- GNU General Public License for more details.
-
- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
- along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
- Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
-
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
- Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
- Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
- This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
- under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
-be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
- Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
- `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
- <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
- Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
-Public License instead of this License.

- The "Artistic License"
-
- Preamble
-
-The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
-Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
-semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
-while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
-the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
-reasonable modifications.
-
-Definitions:
-
- "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
- Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
- created through textual modification.
-
- "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
- modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
- of the Copyright Holder as specified below.
-
- "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
- copyrights for the package.
-
- "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
- this Package.
-
- "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
- basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
- and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the
- Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large
- as a market that must bear the fee.)
-
- "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
- itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item.
- It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
- under the same conditions they received it.
-
-1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
-Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
-duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
-
-2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
-derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
-modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
-
-3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
-that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
-when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
-following:
-
- a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
- Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or
- an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive
- site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
- your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
-
- b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
-
- c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
- with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
- a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
- documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
-
- d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
-
-4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
-executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
-
- a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
- together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
- to get the Standard Version.
-
- b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
- the Package with your modifications.
-
- c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
- document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
- with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
-
- d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
-
-5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
-Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
-Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
-you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
-commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
-distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
-product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within
-an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
-form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
-interpreter is so embedded.
-
-6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
-output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
-under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
-them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
-Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
-Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
-binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
-neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
-fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
-not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
-Package.
-
-7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
-languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
-emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
-Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
-equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
-not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
-regression tests for the language.
-
-8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
-permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
-when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
-to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
-construed as a distribution of this Package.
-
-9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
-products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
-
-10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
-IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
-WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
-
- The End

-Open Publication License
-v1.0, 8 June 1999
-
-
-I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS
-
-The Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in whole or in
-part, in any medium physical or electronic, provided that the terms of this
-license are adhered to, and that this license or an incorporation of it by
-reference (with any options elected by the author(s) and/or publisher) is
-displayed in the reproduction.
-
-Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:
-
- Copyright (c) <year> by <author's name or designee>. This material may be
- distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open
- Publication License, vX.Y or later (the latest version is presently
- available at http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/).
-
-The reference must be immediately followed with any options elected by the
-author(s) and/or publisher of the document (see section VI).
-
-Commercial redistribution of Open Publication-licensed material is permitted.
-
-Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the citation of
-the original publisher and author. The publisher and author's names shall
-appear on all outer surfaces of the book. On all outer surfaces of the book
-the original publisher's name shall be as large as the title of the work and
-cited as possessive with respect to the title.
-
-
-II. COPYRIGHT
-
-The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or designee.
-
-
-III. SCOPE OF LICENSE
-
-The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works, unless
-otherwise explicitly stated in the document.
-
-Mere aggregation of Open Publication works or a portion of an Open Publication
-work with other works or programs on the same media shall not cause this
-license to apply to those other works. The aggregate work shall contain a
-notice specifying the inclusion of the Open Publication material and
-appropriate copyright notice.
-
-SEVERABILITY. If any part of this license is found to be unenforceable in any
-jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the license remain in force.
-
-NO WARRANTY. Open Publication works are licensed and provided "as is" without
-warranty of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the
-implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or
-a warranty of non-infringement.
-
-
-IV. REQUIREMENTS ON MODIFIED WORKS
-
-All modified versions of documents covered by this license, including
-translations, anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must meet the
-following requirements:
-
- 1. The modified version must be labeled as such.
- 2. The person making the modifications must be identified and the
- modifications dated.
- 3. Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if applicable must be
- retained according to normal academic citation practices.
- 4. The location of the original unmodified document must be identified.
- 5. The original author's (or authors') name(s) may not be used to assert or
- imply endorsement of the resulting document without the original author's
- (or authors') permission.
-
-
-V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
-
-In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and
-strongly recommended of redistributors that:
-
- 1. If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you
- provide email notification to the authors of your intent to redistribute
- at least thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze, to give the
- authors time to provide updated documents. This notification should
- describe modifications, if any, made to the document.
- 2. All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly
- marked up in the document or else described in an attachment to the
- document.
- 3. Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered
- good form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of an
- Open Publication-licensed work to its author(s).
-
-
-VI. LICENSE OPTIONS
-
-The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may
-elect certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the
-license. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be
-included with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived
-works.
-
-A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the
-explicit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined as
-a change to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes in
-format or typographical corrections.
-
-To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively modified
-versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the
-copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy.
-
-B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in whole or in
-part in standard (paper) book form for commercial purposes is prohibited
-unless prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder.
-
-To accomplish this, add the phrase 'Distribution of the work or derivative of
-the work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior
-permission is obtained from the copyright holder.' to the license reference or
-copy.

-License
-
-THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
-CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
-PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE
-WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE IS PROHIBITED.
-
-BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND
-AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. THE LICENSOR GRANTS
-YOU THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF
-SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
-
-1. Definitions
-
- 1. "Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue,
- anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in
- unmodified form, along with a number of other contributions,
- constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are
- assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a
- Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
- defined below) for the purposes of this License.
-
- 2. "Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the
- Work and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical
- arrangement, dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture
- version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment,
- condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be recast,
- transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
- Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the
- purpose of this License.
-
- 3. "Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work
- under the terms of this License.
-
- 4. "Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
- Work.
-
- 5. "Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under
- the terms of this License.
-
- 6. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
- License who has not previously violated the terms of this
- License with respect to the Work, or who has received express
- permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this
- License despite a previous violation.
-
-2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce,
- limit, or restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or
- other limitations on the exclusive rights of the copyright owner
- under copyright law or other applicable laws.
-
-3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
- Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
- non-exclusive, perpetual (for the duration of the applicable
- copyright) license to exercise the rights in the Work as stated
- below:
-
- 1. to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
- Collective Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
- Collective Works;
- 2. to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
- 3. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly,
- perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
- transmission the Work including as incorporated in Collective
- Works;
- 4. to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly,
- perform publicly, and perform publicly by means of a digital audio
- transmission Derivative Works;
-
-The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now
-known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make
-such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights
-in other media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by
-Licensor are hereby reserved.
-
-4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly
- made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
-
- 1. You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
- publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this
- License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource
- Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the
- Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
- publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms
- on the Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the
- recipients' exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not
- sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices that refer to
- this License and to the disclaimer of warranties. You may not
- distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
- digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
- control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the
- terms of this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as
- incorporated in a Collective Work, but this does not require the
- Collective Work apart from the Work itself to be made subject to
- the terms of this License. If You create a Collective Work, upon
- notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
- remove from the Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or
- the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative Work,
- upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable,
- remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such Licensor or
- the Original Author, as requested.
-
- 2. If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
- publicly digitally perform the Work or any Derivative Works or
- Collective Works, You must keep intact all copyright notices for
- the Work and give the Original Author credit reasonable to the
- medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the name (or
- pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the
- title of the Work if supplied; in the case of a Derivative Work,
- a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work
- (e.g., "French translation of the Work by Original Author," or
- "Screenplay based on original Work by Original Author"). Such
- credit may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided,
- however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective
- Work, at a minimum such credit will appear where any other
- comparable authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as
- prominent as such other comparable authorship credit.
-
-5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
-
- 1. By offering the Work for public release under this License,
- Licensor represents and warrants that, to the best of Licensor's
- knowledge after reasonable inquiry:
-
- 1. Licensor has secured all rights in the Work necessary to
- grant the license rights hereunder and to permit the lawful
- exercise of the rights granted hereunder without You having
- any obligation to pay any royalties, compulsory license fees,
- residuals or any other payments;
- 2. The Work does not infringe the copyright, trademark,
- publicity rights, common law rights or any other right of any
- third party or constitute defamation, invasion of privacy or
- other tortious injury to any third party.
-
- 2. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS LICENSE OR OTHERWISE AGREED
- IN WRITING OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WORK IS
- LICENSED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND,
- EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY
- WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CONTENTS OR ACCURACY OF THE WORK.
-
-6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY
- APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM LIABILITY TO A
- THIRD PARTY RESULTING FROM BREACH OF THE WARRANTIES IN SECTION 5,
- IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR
- ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY
- DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF
- LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
-7. Termination
-
- 1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
- automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this
- License. Individuals or entities who have received Derivative Works
- or Collective Works from You under this License, however, will not
- have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
- entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections 1,
- 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
-
- 2. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted
- here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright
- in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the
- right to release the Work under different license terms or to
- stop distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that
- any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or
- any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
- under the terms of this License), and this License will continue
- in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
-
-8. Miscellaneous
-
- 1. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform the Work
- or a Collective Work, the Licensor offers to the recipient a
- license to the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
- granted to You under this License.
-
- 2. Each time You distribute or publicly digitally perform a
- Derivative Work, Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the
- original Work on the same terms and conditions as the license
- granted to You under this License.
-
- 3. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable
- under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
- enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and
- without further action by the parties to this agreement, such
- provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make
- such provision valid and enforceable.
-
- 4. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and
- no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in
- writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or
- consent.
-
- 5. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the
- parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
- understandings, agreements or representations with respect to
- the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
- additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
- You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
- agreement of the Licensor and You.

-Open Software License
- v. 2.0
-
-This Open Software License (the "License") applies to any original
-work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor")
-has placed the following notice immediately following the copyright
-notice for the Original Work:
-Licensed under the Open Software License version 2.0
-
-1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor hereby grants You a
-world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable
-license to do the following:
-a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
-
-b) to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the
-Original Work;
-
-c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works to
-the public, with the proviso that copies of Original Work or
-Derivative Works that You distribute shall be licensed under the Open
-Software License;
-
-d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
-
-e) to display the Original Work publicly.
-
-
-
-2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
- royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license,
- under patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are
- embodied in the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, to
- make, use, sell and offer for sale the Original Work and Derivative
- Works.
-
-3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the
- preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it
- and all available documentation describing how to modify the
- Original Work. Licensor hereby agrees to provide a
- machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original Work along
- with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes.
- Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a
- machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an information
- repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and
- convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to
- distribute the Original Work, and by publishing the address of that
- information repository in a notice immediately following the
- copyright notice that applies to the Original Work.
-
-4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor
- the names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of
- their trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or
- promote products derived from this Original Work without express
- prior written permission of the Licensor. Nothing in this License
- shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights,
- patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of
- Licensor except as expressly stated herein. No patent license is
- granted to make, use, sell or offer to sell embodiments of any
- patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in Section 2.
- No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such
- marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License
- shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under
- different terms from this License any Original Work that Licensor
- otherwise would have a right to license.
-
-5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use
- or distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way
- such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by
- anyone other than You, whether the Original Work or Derivative
- Works are distributed to those persons or made available as an
- application intended for use over a computer network. As an
- express condition for the grants of license hereunder, You agree
- that any External Deployment by You of a Derivative Work shall be
- deemed a distribution and shall be licensed to all under the terms
- of this License, as prescribed in section 1(c) herein.
-
-6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any
- Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent or
- trademark notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as
- well as any notices of licensing and any descriptive text
- identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must cause the
- Source Code for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a
- prominent Attribution Notice reasonably calculated to inform
- recipients that You have modified the Original Work.
-
-7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor
- warrants that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the
- patent rights granted herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor
- or are sublicensed to You under the terms of this License with the
- permission of the contributor(s) of those copyrights and patent
- rights. Except as expressly stated in the immediately proceeding
- sentence, the Original Work is provided under this License on an
- "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or implied,
- including, without limitation, the warranties of NON-INFRINGEMENT,
- MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
- RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This
- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential part of this
- License. No license to Original Work is granted hereunder except
- under this disclaimer.
-
-8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal
- theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or
- otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to any person for any
- direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of
- any character arising as a result of this License or the use of the
- Original Work including, without limitation, damages for loss of
- goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any
- and all other commercial damages or losses. This limitation of
- liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury
- resulting from Licensor's negligence to the extent applicable law
- prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
- exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
- this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.
-
-9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the
- Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable
- effort under the circumstances to obtain the express assent of
- recipients to the terms of this License. Nothing else but this
- License (or another written agreement between Licensor and You)
- grants You permission to create Derivative Works based upon the
- Original Work or to exercise any of the rights granted in Section 1
- herein, and any attempt to do so except under the terms of this
- License (or another written agreement between Licensor and You) is
- expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of
- other countries, and by international treaty. Therefore, by
- exercising any of the rights granted to You in Section 1 herein,
- You indicate Your acceptance of this License and all of its terms
- and conditions. This License shall terminate immediately and you
- may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this
- License upon Your failure to honor the proviso in Section 1(c)
- herein.
-
-10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate
- automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights
- granted to You by this License as of the date You commence an
- action, including a cross-claim or counterclaim, for patent
- infringement (i) against Licensor with respect to a patent
- applicable to software or (ii) against any entity with respect to
- a patent applicable to the Original Work (but excluding
- combinations of the Original Work with other software or
- hardware).
-
-11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating
- to this License may be brought only in the courts of a
- jurisdiction wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor
- conducts its primary business, and under the laws of that
- jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The
- application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
- International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the
- Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its
- termination shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of
- the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 101 et seq., the equivalent
- laws of other countries, and international treaty. This section
- shall survive the termination of this License.
-
-12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License
- or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
- entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
- limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
- connection with such action, including any appeal of such action.
- This section shall survive the termination of this License.
-
-13) Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement
- concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this
- License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
- reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
-
-14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this
- License, whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a
- legal entity exercising rights under, and complying with all of
- the terms of, this License. For legal entities, "You" includes
- any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common
- control with you. For purposes of this definition, "control"
- means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or
- management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or
- (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
- shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
-
-15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not
- otherwise restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and
- Licensor promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such
- uses by You.
-
-This license is Copyright (C) 2003 Lawrence E. Rosen. All rights
-reserved. Permission is hereby granted to copy and distribute this
-license without modification. This license may not be modified
-without the express written permission of its copyright owner.

-<ul>
-<li>Item #5 "External Deployment" places distribution-like burdens on

- network source must be distributed. This is a use restriction. While
- the DFSG does not explicitly prohibit this, the consensus on
- debian-legal is that this is non-free.</li>
-
-<li>Item #9 "Acceptance and Termination" requires the licensee to
- acknowledge acceptance of the license. According to the
- <a href="http://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html">Dissident
- Test</a> this is a significant restriction on distribution (DFSG §1)</li>
-
-<li>Item #6 "Attribution Rights" requires retention of any "Attribution
- Notice," even if false. There are no restrictions on what may be
- considered an attribution notice, so there are no clear limits on what
- materials must be retained. This restricts modification (DFSG §3).</li>
-
-<li>Item #10 "Termination for Patent Action" terminates the license if you
- are involved in a suit with a licensor over "a patent applicable to
- software", or against anyone else over a patent relating to the Work.

<p>This site presents the opinion of debian-legal contributors on how
certain licenses follow the
<a href="$(HOME)/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software
-Guidelines</a> (DFSG). Most of these opinions were formed in
+Guidelines</a> (DFSG). Most of these opinions were formed in
discussions on the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/">\
debian-legal mailing list</a> in response to questions from
-potential package maintainers or licence users. You may
-<a href="mailto:debian-legal@lists.debian.org">contact debian-legal</a> if you
-have questions or comments about these summaries.</p>
-
-<p>Note that this site was started in May 2004 and old summaries
-are slowly integrated. Please excuse any inconsistencies and
-gaps appearing in the first weeks.</p>
-
-<p>Software packaged for debian is normally classified into three categories.
-There is <em>free</em> software, <em>non-free</em> software and
-software under licenses that <em>don't allow redistribution</em>.
-The final decision rests with the ftpmasters,
-but they have many other responsibilities,
-so any consensus on debian-legal is usually considered.</p>
-
-<p><em>Free</em> software is licensed in a way that follows
-the DFSG. For help with interpreting the DFSG, you should
-check the
-<a href="http://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html">DFSG FAQ</a>
-that answers some common questions about the DFSG and how to analyse
-software. To be licensed under a suitable license is a necessary (but not
-sufficient, see
-<a href="$(DOC)/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-main">Debian Policy,
-section 2.2.1</a>) criteria for a piece of software to be included in Debian.
-Examples of suitable licenses are the
-<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public
-License</a>, the
-<a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php">\
-Artistic license</a> and <a href="$(HOME)/misc/bsd.license">\
-BSD style licenses</a>.
-
-<p>Software in <em>non-free</em> has licenses that fail to follow one or
-more of the DFSG, but do allow at least the unlimited non-commercial
-redistribution of the licensed software. Debian provides
-infrastructure for some non-free packages. Although not part of
-the Debian system, these packages are provided as a benefit to our
-users (see §5 of our <a href="$(HOME)/social_contract">Social Contract</a>).
-Examples are software under licenses that restrict commercial use of the
-software or licenses that make restrictions on modifications.</p>
-
-<p><em>Non-redistributable</em> software is
-non-free, but also doesn't allow unlimited non-commercial redistribution.
-This category also includes software under licenses that are silent
-regarding rights of redistribution. In other words, if the license does not
-specifically grant the right to redistribute, the assumption is that
-no rights are granted. Debian does not support non-redistributable
-software and the licenses do not grant permission for distribution
-needed by the Debian mirror network.</p>
-
-<p>Similar lists are maintained by the
+potential package maintainers or licensors. We welcome
+enquiries from maintainers considering particular licenses, but
+we encourage most maintainers to use one of the common licenses:
+GPL, LGPL, BSD or Artistic.</p>
+
+<p>Software packaged for debian is normally classified into four
+categories. There is free software (main), non-free software
+(non-free), free software which depends on some non-free
+software (contrib) and software which cannot be redistributed
+(not included).
+<a href="$(DOC)/debian-policy/ch-archive.html">Debian Policy section 2</a>
+explains exactly how the DFSG
+are applied to the archive. If in doubt, maintainers are
+asked to email debian-legal about licenses, including the text
+of any new license into the body of the email.</p>
+
+<p>debian-legal is advisory. The actual decision-makers are the
+ftpmasters and the package maintainers. However, if one cannot
+convince most of the generally liberal debian-legal contributors,
+it's probably not clear that the software follows the DFSG.</p>
+
+<p>Lists are maintained by the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html">Free Software
Foundation</a> (FSF) and the
<a href="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/index.html">Open Source
-Initiative</a> (OSI). Please note however, that the Debian project
-decides on particular packages rather than licences in abstract,
-and the following are just general explanations when possible.
-It is possible to have a package containing software under one of
-these licences with some other aspect that makes it non-free.</p>
-
-<p>We provide three lists that differ in how they are sorted:</p>
-
- <ul>
- <li><a href="bydate">chronological list</a>, sorted
- by the date of the summary.</li>
- <li><a href="byname">alphabetical list</a>, sorted
- by the name of the license.</li>
- <li><a href="byclass">classification list</a>,
- sorted alphabetically within each classification.
- You can go directly to the lists of
- <a href="byclass#free">free</a>, <a href="byclass#non-free">\
- non-free</a> and
- <a href="byclass#non-dist">non-redistributable</a> licenses.
