|
| +XZ Utils Licensing
|
| +==================
|
| +
|
| + Different licenses apply to different files in this package. Here
|
| + is a rough summary of which licenses apply to which parts of this
|
| + package (but check the individual files to be sure!):
|
| +
|
| + - liblzma is in the public domain.
|
| +
|
| + - xz, xzdec, and lzmadec command line tools are in the public
|
| + domain unless GNU getopt_long had to be compiled and linked
|
| + in from the lib directory. The getopt_long code is under
|
| + GNU LGPLv2.1+.
|
| +
|
| + - The scripts to grep, diff, and view compressed files have been
|
| + adapted from gzip. These scripts and their documentation are
|
| + under GNU GPLv2+.
|
| +
|
| + - All the documentation in the doc directory and most of the
|
| + XZ Utils specific documentation files in other directories
|
| + are in the public domain.
|
| +
|
| + - Translated messages are in the public domain.
|
| +
|
| + - The build system contains public domain files, and files that
|
| + are under GNU GPLv2+ or GNU GPLv3+. None of these files end up
|
| + in the binaries being built.
|
| +
|
| + - Test files and test code in the tests directory, and debugging
|
| + utilities in the debug directory are in the public domain.
|
| +
|
| + - The extra directory may contain public domain files, and files
|
| + that are under various free software licenses.
|
| +
|
| + You can do whatever you want with the files that have been put into
|
| + the public domain. If you find public domain legally problematic,
|
| + take the previous sentence as a license grant. If you still find
|
| + the lack of copyright legally problematic, you have too many
|
| + lawyers.
|
| +
|
| + As usual, this software is provided "as is", without any warranty.
|
| +
|
| + If you copy significant amounts of public domain code from XZ Utils
|
| + into your project, acknowledging this somewhere in your software is
|
| + polite (especially if it is proprietary, non-free software), but
|
| + naturally it is not legally required. Here is an example of a good
|
| + notice to put into "about box" or into documentation:
|
| +
|
| + This software includes code from XZ Utils <http://tukaani.org/xz/>.
|
| +
|
| + The following license texts are included in the following files:
|
| + - COPYING.LGPLv2.1: GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
|
| + - COPYING.GPLv2: GNU General Public License version 2
|
| + - COPYING.GPLv3: GNU General Public License version 3
|
| +
|
| + Note that the toolchain (compiler, linker etc.) may add some code
|
| + pieces that are copyrighted. Thus, it is possible that e.g. liblzma
|
| + binary wouldn't actually be in the public domain in its entirety
|
| + even though it contains no copyrighted code from the XZ Utils source
|
| + package.
|
| +
|
| + If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the author(s) for more
|
| + information.
