UNMODIFIED BINARY DISTRIBUTION LICENCE
PREAMBLE
The GNU General Public License provides a legal guarantee that software covered
by it remains free (in the sense of freedom, not price).
It achieves this guarantee by imposing obligations on anyone who chooses to
distribute the software.
Some of these obligations may be seen as unnecessarily burdensome. In particular,
when the source code for the software is already publicly and freely available,
there is minimal value in imposing upon each distributor the obligation to provide
the complete source code
(or an equivalent written offer to provide the complete source code).
This Licence allows for the distribution of unmodified binaries built from publicly
available source code,
without imposing the obligations of the GNU General Public License upon anyone
who chooses to distribute only the unmodified binaries built from that source
code.
The extra permissions granted by this Licence apply only to unmodified binaries
built from source code which has already been made available to
the public in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. Nothing
in this Licence allows for the creation of closed-source modified
versions of the Program. Any modified versions of the Program are subject to
the usual terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This Licence 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 Unmodified Binary Distribution
Licence.
All terms used in the text of this Licence are to be interpreted as they are
used in version 2 of the GNU General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation.
If you have made this Program available to the public in both source code and
executable form in accordance
with 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, then you are hereby granted an additional
permission to use, copy, and
distribute the unmodified executable form of this Program (the "Unmodified Binary")
without restriction,
including the right to permit persons to whom the Unmodified Binary is furnished
to do likewise, subject to the following conditions:
when started running, the Program must display an announcement which includes
the details of your existing publication of
the Program made in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public License.
For example, the Program could display the URL
of the publicly available source code from which the Unmodified Binary was built.
when exercising your right to grant permissions under this Licence, you do not
need to refer directly to the text
of this Licence, but you may not grant permissions beyond those granted to you
by this Licence.
