UUPC/extended Licensing, Redistribution, and Warranty

Special Note for This Web Page

The following copy of the license was copied from the draft of the UUPC/extended 1.12d documentation, and was accurate as of the time it was extracted. However, the license actually included in the UUPC/extended distribution archive for each release is definitive for that release. Thus, that license should be consulted for the precise terms of a particular release.

Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution, and Modification

"UUPC/extended", below, refers to the entire UUPC/extended package, as distributed by Kendra Electronic Wonderworks. A "work based on UUPC/extended" means either UUPC/extended or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing UUPC/extended or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (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. UUPC/extended may be installed and run on as many systems as desired without restriction.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of UUPC/extended'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 UUPC/extended a copy of this License along with UUPC/extended.

   1. You may not distribute versions of UUPC/extended that you know to be obsolete. You are specifically prohibited from knowingly distributing obsolete versions of UUPC/extended in order to support third party programs.

   2. 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 UUPC/extended, or any portion thereof, thus forming a work based on UUPC/extended, and copy and distribute such modifications or works under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

   1. The modified files must carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

   2. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from UUPC/extended or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

   3. You may not make malicious changes to UUPC/extended. You may not insert computer viruses, worms, or other code intended to damage or disrupt the end user's system and/or data.

   4. You may not cripple UUPC/extended's functionality in any way. In particular, you may not make continued use of UUPC/extended contingent on payment of a registration fee.

   This does not preclude you from charging for services such as access to your own system running UUPC/extended or other mail software, but merely prevents you from charging a premium for providing the UUPC/extended software to others.

   These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from UUPC/extended, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections. Specifically, unique works may interface to UUPC/extended via configuration, spooling, or other files using routines based on UUPC/extended source code without falling under the scope of this License.

   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 UUPC/extended.

3. You may copy and distribute UUPC/extended (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:

   1. 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,

   2. 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,

   3. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you received UUPC/extended in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

   4. Distribution of multiple copies of the object code within a single legal organization is specifically exempted from this section.

   The complete UUPC/extended source code means all the source code for all modules UUPC/extended contains plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, UUPC/extended source code does not include any components of either the operating system under which UUPC/extended runs or the compiler and runtime libraries used to construct the executable.

4. Hardcopy distribution of the documentation for this program, including the Installation and User Reference, is restricted.
   1. You may distribute this Installation and User Reference, in its raw or formatted form, in softcopy format with or without any source and object files, so long as you fulfill the requirements of the remainder of this license.

   2. You may print as many copies of this document as needed for your own use.

   3. You are prohibited from commercially publishing this document in hardcopy for third parties without the express written consent of Kendra Electronic Wonderworks, with the exception of this license and the appendixes.

   4. This license and the appendixes may be distributed in hardcopy without restriction so long as the other conditions of this license are met.

5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute UUPC/extended except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute UUPC/extended 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.

6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute UUPC/extended or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing UUPC/extended (or any work based on UUPC/extended), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying UUPC/extended or works based on it.

7. Each time you redistribute UUPC/extended (or any work based on UUPC/extended), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licenser to copy, distribute or modify UUPC/extended 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.

   No Warranty

   General

8. Because UUPC/extended is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for UUPC/extended, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing, the copyright holders and/or other parties provide UUPC/extended "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 UUPC/extended is with you. Should UUPC/extended prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

   1. 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 UUPC/extended 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 UUPC/extended (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 UUPC/extended to operate with any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

      High Risk Activities (in Case You Didn't Get it the First Time)

   2. UUPC/extended is not fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, including but not limited to the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of the software could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage ("High Risk Activities"). Kendra Electronic Wonderworks and other contributors to UUPC/extended specifically disclaim any express or implied warranty of fitness for High Risk Activities.
