The reason this +file exists is that we here are programmers and engineers. We aren't +lawyers. We provide licenses that we THINK say the right things, but we +have our own intentions at heart. This is a plain-english explanation +of what those intentions are, and if you follow them you will be within +the "spirit" of the license. + +The intent is for us to enjoy writing software that is useful to us (the +AUTHORS) and allow others to use it freely and also benefit from the +work we put into making it. We don't want to restrict others using it. +They should not *HAVE* to make the source code of the applications they +write that simply link to these libraries (be that statically or +dynamically), or for them to be limited as to what license they choose +to use (be it open, closed or anything else). But we would like to know +you are using these libraries. We simply would like to know that it has +been useful to someone. This is why we ask for acknowledgement of some +sort. + +You can do what you want with the source of this software - it doesn't +matter. We still have it here for ourselves and it is open and free to +use and download and play with. It can't be taken away. We don't +really mind what you do with the source to your software. We would +simply like to know that you are using it - especially if it makes it to +a commerical product. If you simply contact all the AUTHORS (see below) +telling us, and then make sure you include a paragraph or page in the +manual for the product with the copyright notice and state that you used +this software, we will be very happy. If you want to contribute back +modifications and fixes you may have made we will welcome those too with +open arms (generally). If you want help with changes needed, ports +needed or features to be added, arrangements can be easily made with +some dialogue. + +This is a Second Life script, "simply link to these libraries" means +including the script in an object and making the script no-modify, or +otherwise rendering the source code unreadable. Any use of this script +that makes the source code readable must include the License unmodified +at the top of the source code. + +David Seikel (Second Life user onefang Rejected). + -- cgit v1.1
