VIM LICENSE | ||
|
||
I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except | ||
that they must include this license text. You can also distribute | ||
unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must | ||
include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables | ||
that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage | ||
examples and Vim scripts. | ||
|
||
II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, | ||
including executables and/or source code, when the following four | ||
conditions are met: | ||
1) This license text must be included unmodified. | ||
2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways: | ||
a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in | ||
the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you | ||
(in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you | ||
must make your changes, including source code, available to the | ||
maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to | ||
include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the | ||
maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they | ||
will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation | ||
then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes. | ||
The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <[email protected]>. If this | ||
changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely | ||
vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely | ||
impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him | ||
your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has | ||
received your changes they will not have to be sent again. | ||
b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as | ||
mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it | ||
unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the | ||
text under a) applies to those changes. | ||
c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of | ||
the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a | ||
context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you | ||
add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from | ||
making their own changes to the official version of Vim. | ||
d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned | ||
under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the | ||
changes if the following three conditions are met: | ||
- The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute | ||
the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and | ||
permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official | ||
version of Vim without fee or restriction. | ||
- You keep the changes for at least three years after last | ||
distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer | ||
or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in | ||
any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them | ||
available to him. | ||
- You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This | ||
contact information must remain valid for at least three years | ||
after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long | ||
as possible. | ||
e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, | ||
you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or | ||
any later version. | ||
3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" | ||
command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim | ||
is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned | ||
under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does | ||
not conflict with the license used for the changes. | ||
4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be | ||
removed or changed, except that the person himself can make | ||
corrections. | ||
|
||
III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use | ||
the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the | ||
maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is | ||
by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. | ||
If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a | ||
context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is | ||
<[email protected]> | ||
|
||
IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim | ||
sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this | ||
license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came | ||
with, at your option. |
