| 1 | Plain English Copyright Notice | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | This file is not intended to be the actual License. The reason this | ||
| 4 | file exists is that we here are programmers and engineers. We aren't | ||
| 5 | lawyers. We provide licenses that we THINK say the right things, but we | ||
| 6 | have our own intentions at heart. This is a plain-english explanation | ||
| 7 | of what those intentions are, and if you follow them you will be within | ||
| 8 | the "spirit" of the license. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | The intent is for us to enjoy writing software that is useful to us (the | ||
| 11 | AUTHORS) and allow others to use it freely and also benefit from the | ||
| 12 | work we put into making it. We don't want to restrict others using it. | ||
| 13 | They should not *HAVE* to make the source code of the applications they | ||
| 14 | write that simply link to these libraries (be that statically or | ||
| 15 | dynamically), or for them to be limited as to what license they choose | ||
| 16 | to use (be it open, closed or anything else). But we would like to know | ||
| 17 | you are using these libraries. We simply would like to know that it has | ||
| 18 | been useful to someone. This is why we ask for acknowledgement of some | ||
| 19 | sort. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | You can do what you want with the source of this software - it doesn't | ||
| 22 | matter. We still have it here for ourselves and it is open and free to | ||
| 23 | use and download and play with. It can't be taken away. We don't | ||
| 24 | really mind what you do with the source to your software. We would | ||
| 25 | simply like to know that you are using it - especially if it makes it to | ||
| 26 | a commerical product. If you simply contact all the AUTHORS (see below) | ||
| 27 | telling us, and then make sure you include a paragraph or page in the | ||
| 28 | manual for the product with the copyright notice and state that you used | ||
| 29 | this software, we will be very happy. If you want to contribute back | ||
| 30 | modifications and fixes you may have made we will welcome those too with | ||
| 31 | open arms (generally). If you want help with changes needed, ports | ||
| 32 | needed or features to be added, arrangements can be easily made with | ||
| 33 | some dialogue. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | This is a Second Life script, "simply link to these libraries" means | ||
| 36 | including the script in an object and making the script no-modify, or | ||
| 37 | otherwise rendering the source code unreadable. Any use of this script | ||
| 38 | that makes the source code readable must include the License unmodified | ||
| 39 | at the top of the source code. | ||
