- GDB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- (Clarified 20 March 1987)
-
- Copyright (C) 1986 Richard M. Stallman
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- 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 GDB. 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 GDB, that you receive source code or else can get it
-if you want it, that you can change GDB 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 GDB, 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 GDB. If GDB 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 GDB.
-
-
- COPYING POLICIES
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GDB source code as
-you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
-(C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year updated if
-that is appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer
-to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give
-any other recipients of the GDB program a copy of this License
-Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
-for the physical act of transferring a copy.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GDB 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:
-
- a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
- that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
-
- b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
- that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GDB 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 third parties, at your option).
-
- c) if the modified program serves as a debugger, cause it
- when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
- an announcement including a valid copyright notice
- "Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with
- the year updated if appropriate), saying that there
- is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
- a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
- these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of
- this License Agreement.
-
- d) 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.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute GDB or any portion of it in
-compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
-1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
-
- a) cause each such copy to be accompanied by the
- corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
- be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
-
- b) cause each such copy to be accompanied by a
- written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
- free (except for a nominal shipping charge) a machine readable
- copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
- under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
-
- c) in the case of a recipient of GDB in compiled, executable
- or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
- shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
- of the written offer of source code which you received along
- with the copy you received.
-
- 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB
-except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB 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.
-
- 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GDB 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.
-
-In other words, go ahead and share GDB, but don't try to stop
-anyone else from sharing it farther. Help stamp out software hoarding!
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- BECAUSE GDB IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
-WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
-WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
-RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GDB "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 GDB IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GDB 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 GDB 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) GDB, EVEN
-IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
-ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
