@unnumbered Copying Conditions
@center (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the mercy of
those companies. By contrast, our general public license is intended to
give everyone the right to share GNU Make. To make sure that you get the
rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone
to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. Hence this
license agreement.
Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away
copies of GNU Make, that you receive source code or else can get it if you
want it, that you can change GNU Make or use pieces of it in new free
programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute copies
of GNU Make, 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 tell them their rights.
Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds out
that there is no warranty for GNU Make. If GNU Make is modified by someone
else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is
not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced by others will not
reflect on our reputation.
Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation,
Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
allowed to distribute or change GNU Make.
@unnumberedsec Copying Policies
@enumerate
@item
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU Make source code as
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice
``Copyright @copyright{} 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc.'' (or
with whatever year is appropriate), and include following the
copyright notice a verbatim copy of the above disclaimer of warranty
and of this License. You may charge a distribution fee for the
physical act of transferring a copy.
@item
You may modify your copy or copies of GNU Make or any portion of it,
and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
@itemize @bullet
@item
cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
@item
cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of Bison or any
part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties on
terms identical to those contained in this License Agreement
(except that you may choose to grant more extensive warranty
protection to some or all third parties, at your option).
@item
You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
@end itemize
Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
the other program under the scope of these terms.
@item
You may copy and distribute GNU Make (or a portion or derivative of it,
under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms
of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
following:
@itemize @bullet
@item
accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
@item
accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
@item
accompany it with the information you received as to where the
corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
@end itemize
For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code
for all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not
include source code for modules which are standard libraries that
accompany the operating system on which the executable file runs.
@item
You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Make except as
expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Make is void
and your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall
be automatically terminated. However, parties who have received
computer software programs from you with this License Agreement will
not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in
full compliance.
@item
If you wish to incorporate parts of GNU Make into other free programs
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free Software
Foundation at 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have not yet worked
out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit this.
We 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.
@end enumerate
Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, or call (617) 876-3296.
@unnumberedsec NO WARRANTY
BECAUSE GNU MAKE IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU MAKE "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 GNU MAKE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GNU MAKE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GNU MAKE AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GNU MAKE, EVEN
IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
