10 | Introduction | |
11 | ============ | |
12 | ||
13 | This license applies to source files distributed by Catharon | |
14 | Productions, Inc. in several archive packages. This license | |
15 | applies to all files found in such packages which do not fall | |
16 | under their own explicit license. | |
17 | ||
18 | This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG | |
19 | (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion | |
20 | and use of free software in commercial and freeware products | |
21 | alike. As a consequence, its main points are that: | |
22 | ||
23 | o We don't promise that this software works. However, we are | |
24 | interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution) | |
25 | ||
26 | o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or | |
27 | full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage) | |
28 | ||
29 | o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use | |
30 | it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge | |
31 | somewhere in your documentation that you have used the | |
32 | Catharon Code. (`credits') | |
33 | ||
34 | We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this | |
35 | software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. | |
36 | We disclaim all warranties covering the packages distributed by | |
37 | Catharon Productions, Inc. and assume no liability related to | |
38 | their use. | |

41 | Legal Terms | |
42 | =========== | |
43 | ||
44 | 0. Definitions | |
45 | -------------- | |
46 | ||
47 | Throughout this license, the terms `Catharon Package', `package', | |
48 | and `Catharon Code' refer to the set of files originally | |
49 | distributed by Catharon Productions, Inc. | |
50 | ||
51 | `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where | |
52 | `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source | |
53 | code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. | |
54 | This program is referred to as `a program using one of the | |
55 | Catharon Packages'. | |
56 | ||
57 | This license applies to all files distributed in the original | |
58 | Catharon Package(s), including all source code, binaries and | |
59 | documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its | |
60 | original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. | |
61 | If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by | |
62 | this license, you must contact us to verify this. | |
63 | ||
64 | The Catharon Packages are copyright (C) 2000 by Catharon | |
65 | Productions, Inc. All rights reserved except as specified below. | |
66 | ||
67 | 1. No Warranty | |

70 | THE CATHARON PACKAGES ARE PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | |
71 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | |
72 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
73 | PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS | |
74 | BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO | |
75 | USE THE CATHARON PACKAGE. | |
76 | ||
77 | 2. Redistribution | |
78 | ----------------- | |
79 | ||
80 | This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and | |
81 | irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, | |
82 | display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and | |
83 | sublicense the Catharon Packages (in both source and object code | |
84 | forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to | |
85 | authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted | |
86 | herein, subject to the following conditions: | |
87 | ||
88 | o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file | |
89 | (`license.txt') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes | |
90 | to the original files must be clearly indicated in | |
91 | accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the | |
92 | unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of | |
93 | source files. | |
94 | ||
95 | o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that | |
96 | states that the software is based in part on the work of | |
97 | Catharon Productions, Inc. in the distribution documentation. | |
98 | ||
99 | These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on | |
100 | the Catharon Packages, not just the unmodified files. If you use | |
101 | our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid | |
102 | to us. | |
103 | ||
104 | 3. Advertising | |
105 | -------------- | |
106 | ||
107 | Neither Catharon Productions, Inc. and contributors nor you shall | |
108 | use the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or | |
109 | promotional purposes without specific prior written permission. | |
110 | ||
111 | We suggest, but do not require, that you use the following phrase | |
112 | to refer to this software in your documentation: 'this software is | |
113 | based in part on the Catharon Typography Project'. | |
114 | ||
115 | As you have not signed this license, you are not required to | |
116 | accept it. However, as the Catharon Packages are copyrighted | |
117 | material, only this license, or another one contracted with the | |
118 | authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. | |
119 | Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the Catharon | |
120 | Packages, you indicate that you understand and accept all the | |
121 | terms of this license. | |
