Aladdin Enterprises hereby grants to anyone the permission to apply this
|
|
|
49 |
License to their own work, as long as the entire License (including the
|
|
|
50 |
above notices and this paragraph) is copied with no changes, additions, or
|
|
|
51 |
deletions except for changing the first paragraph of Section 0 to include a
|
|
|
52 |
suitable description of the work to which the license is being applied and
|
|
|
53 |
of the person or entity that holds the copyright in the work, and, if the
|
|
|
54 |
License is being applied to a work created in a country other than the
|
|
|
55 |
United States, replacing the first paragraph of Section 6 with an
|
|
|
56 |
appropriate reference to the laws of the appropriate country.
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
|
58 |
<p>
|

This License is not an Open Source license: among other things, it places
|
|
|
60 |
restrictions on distribution of the Program, specifically including sale of
|
|
|
61 |
the Program. While Aladdin Enterprises respects and supports the philosophy
|
|
|
62 |
of the Open Source Definition, and shares the desire of the GNU project to
|
|
|
63 |
keep licensed software freely redistributable in both source and object
|
|
|
64 |
form, we feel that Open Source licenses unfairly prevent developers of
|
|
|
65 |
useful software from being compensated proportionately when others profit
|
|
|
66 |
financially from their work. This License attempts to ensure that those who
|
|
|
67 |
receive, redistribute, and contribute to the licensed Program according to
|
|
|
68 |
the Open Source and Free Software philosophies have the right to do so,
|
|
|
69 |
while retaining for the developer(s) of the Program the power to make those
|
|
|
70 |
who use the Program to enhance the value of commercial products pay for the
|
|
|
71 |
privilege of doing so.

<h2>0. Subject Matter</h2>
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
<p>
|
|
|
76 |
This License applies to the computer program known as "AFPL Ghostscript."
|
|
|
77 |
The "Program", below, refers to such program. The Program is a copyrighted
|
|
|
78 |
work whose copyright is held by artofcode LLC, located in Benicia,
|
|
|
79 |
California (the "Licensor"). Please note that AFPL Ghostscript is neither
|
|
|
80 |
the program known as "GPL Ghostscript" nor the version of Ghostscript
|
|
|
81 |
available for commercial licensing from Artifex Software Inc.
|
|
|
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
<p>
|
|
|
84 |
A "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
|
|
|
85 |
work of the Program, as defined in the United States Copyright Act of 1976,
|
|
|
86 |
such as a translation or a modification.

BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
|
|
|
91 |
PROGRAM), YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND ALL
|
|
|
92 |
ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING THE PROGRAM
|
|
|
93 |
OR WORKS BASED ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS YOU
|
|
|
94 |
PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS DERIVATIVE WORKS.
|
|
|
95 |
THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND

96 |
CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM.

<h2>1. Licenses.</h2>
|
|
|
100 |
|
|
|
101 |
<p>
|
|
|
102 |
Licensor hereby grants you the following rights, provided that you comply
|
|
|
103 |
with all of the restrictions set forth in this License and provided,
|
|
|
104 |
further, that you distribute an unmodified copy of this License with the
|
|
|
105 |
Program:
|
|
|
106 |
|
|
|
107 |
<dl compact>
|
|
|
108 |
<dt>(a)<dd>You may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of the
|
|
|
109 |
Program's source code as you receive it throughout the world, in any
|
|
|
110 |
medium.
|
|
|
111 |
|
|
|
112 |
<dt>(b)<dd>You may modify the Program, create works based on the Program and
|

<h2>2. Restrictions.</h2>
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
|
118 |
<p>
|
|
|
119 |
This license is subject to the following restrictions:
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
<dl compact>
|
|
|
122 |
<dt>(a)<dd>Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
|
|
|
123 |
commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment is
|
|
|
124 |
made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in payment
|
|
|
125 |
for a copy of the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for some service
|
|
|
126 |
related to the Program, or payment for some product or service that includes
|
|
|
127 |
a copy of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples, and not an
|
|
|
128 |
exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities). The following methods of
|
|
|
129 |
distribution involving payment shall not in and of themselves be a violation
|
|
|
130 |
of this restriction:
|
|
|
131 |
|
|
|
132 |
<dl compact>
|
|
|
133 |
<dt>(i)<dd>Posting the Program on a public access information storage and
|
|
|
134 |
retrieval service for which a fee is received for retrieving information
|
|
|
135 |
(such as an on-line service), provided that the fee is not content-dependent
|
|
|
136 |
(i.e., the fee would be the same for retrieving the same volume of
|
|
|
137 |
information consisting of random data) and that access to the service and to
|
|
|
138 |
the Program is available independent of any other product or service. An
|
|
|
139 |
example of a service that does not fall under this section is an on-line
|
|
|
140 |
service that is operated by a company and that is only available to
|
|
|
141 |
customers of that company. (This is not an exhaustive enumeration.)
|
|
|
142 |
|
|
|
143 |
<dt>(ii)<dd>Distributing the Program on removable computer-readable media,
|
|
|
144 |
provided that the files containing the Program are reproduced entirely and
|
|
|
145 |
verbatim on such media, that all information on such media be
|
|
|
146 |
redistributable for non-commercial purposes without charge, and that such
|
|
|
147 |
media are distributed by themselves (except for accompanying documentation)
|
|
|
148 |
independent of any other product or service. Examples of such media include
|
|
|
149 |
CD-ROM, magnetic tape, and optical storage media. (This is not intended to
|
|
|
150 |
be an exhaustive list.) An example of a distribution that does not fall
|
|
|
151 |
under this section is a CD-ROM included in a book or magazine. (This is not
|
|
|
152 |
an exhaustive enumeration.)
|
|
|
153 |
</dl>
|

|
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
<dt>(b)<dd>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of the
|
|
|
156 |
Program are not subject to this License and they are outside its scope.
|
|
|
157 |
Functional use (running) of the Program is not restricted, and any output
|
|
|
158 |
produced through the use of the Program is subject to this license only if
|
|
|
159 |
its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
|
|
|
160 |
been made by running the Program).
|
|
|
161 |
|
|
|
162 |
<dt>(c)<dd>You must meet all of the following conditions with respect to any
|
|
|
163 |
work that you distribute or publish that in whole or in part contains or is
|
|
|
164 |
derived from the Program or any part thereof ("the Work"):
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
<dl compact>
|
|
|
167 |
<dt>(i)<dd>If you have modified the Program, you must cause the Work to
|
|
|
168 |
carry prominent notices stating that you have modified the Program's files
|
|
|
169 |
and the date of any change. In each source file that you have modified, you
|
|
|
170 |
must include a prominent notice that you have modified the file, including
|
|
|
171 |
your name, your e-mail address (if any), and the date and purpose of the
|
|
|
172 |
change;
|
|
|
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
<dt>(ii)<dd>You must cause the Work to be licensed as a whole and at no
|
|
|
175 |
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License;
|
|
|
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
<dt>(iii)<dd>If the Work normally reads commands interactively when run,
|
|
|
178 |
you must cause it, at each time the Work commences operation, to print or
|
|
|
179 |
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
|
|
|
180 |
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
|
|
|
181 |
warranty). Such notice must also state that users may redistribute the Work
|
|
|
182 |
only under the conditions of this License and tell the user how to view the
|
|
|
183 |
copy of this License included with the Work. (Exceptions: if the Program is
|
|
|
184 |
interactive but normally prints or displays such an announcement only at the
|
|
|
185 |
request of a user, such as in an "About box", the Work is required to print
|
|
|
186 |
or display the notice only under the same circumstances; if the Program
|
|
|
187 |
itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, the
|
|
|
188 |
Work is not required to print an announcement.);
|
|
|
189 |
|
|
|
190 |
<dt>(iv)<dd>You must accompany the Work with the complete corresponding
|
|
|
191 |
machine-readable source code, delivered on a medium customarily used for
|
|
|
192 |
software interchange. The source code for a work means the preferred form
|
|
|
193 |
of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
|
|
|
194 |
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
|
|
|
195 |
plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
|
|
|
196 |
control compilation and installation of the executable code. If you
|
|
|
197 |
distribute with the Work any component that is normally distributed (in
|
|
|
198 |
either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
|
|
|
199 |
and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, you must
|
|
|
200 |
also distribute the source code of that component if you have it and are
|
|
|
201 |
allowed to do so;
|
|
|
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
<dt>(v)<dd>If you distribute any written or printed material at all with
|
|
|
204 |
the Work, such material must include either a written copy of this License,
|
|
|
205 |
or a prominent written indication that the Work is covered by this License
|
|
|
206 |
and written instructions for printing and/or displaying the copy of the
|
|
|
207 |
License on the distribution medium;
|
|
|
208 |
|
|
|
209 |
<dt>(vi)<dd>You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipient's
|
|
|
210 |
exercise of the rights granted herein.
|
|
|
211 |
</dl>
|
|
|
212 |
</dl>
|
|
|
213 |
|
|
|
214 |
<p>
|
|
|
215 |
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering the
|
|
|
216 |
equivalent ability to copy from a designated place, then offering
|
|
|
217 |
equivalent ability to copy the source code from the same place counts as
|
|
|
218 |
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
|
|
|
219 |
compelled to copy the source code along with the object code.
|
|

220 |

<h3>3. Reservation of Rights.</h3>
|
|
|
222 |
|
|
|
223 |
<p>
|
|
|
224 |
No rights are granted to the Program except as expressly set forth herein.
|
|
|
225 |
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
|
|
|
226 |
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
|
|
|
227 |
modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
|
|
|
228 |
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
|
|
|
229 |
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
|
|
|
230 |
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
|
|
|
231 |
compliance.

<h3>4. Other Restrictions.</h3>
|
|
|
234 |
|
|
|
235 |
<p>
|
|
|
236 |
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
|
|
|
237 |
countries for any reason, Licensor may add an explicit geographical
|
|
|
238 |
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
|
|
|
239 |
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
|
|
|
240 |
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this

License.
