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 <Bram@vim.org>. 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 + <maintainer@vim.org> + +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. + +On Debian systems the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 is located on +the filesystem at /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2. + +The Vim user manual and reference manual are Copyright (c) 1988-2003 by Bram +Moolenaar and are distributed under the Open Publication License, v1.0 or later +(no license options are exercised): + + +Open Publication License +v1.0, 8 June 1999 + + +I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS + +The Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in whole or in +part, in any medium physical or electronic, provided that the terms of this +license are adhered to, and that this license or an incorporation of it by +reference (with any options elected by the author(s) and/or publisher) is +displayed in the reproduction. + +Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows: + + Copyright (c) <year> by <author's name or designee>. This material may be + distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open + Publication License, vX.Y or later (the latest version is presently + available at http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/). + +The reference must be immediately followed with any options elected by the +author(s) and/or publisher of the document (see section VI). + +Commercial redistribution of Open Publication-licensed material is permitted. + +Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the citation of the +original publisher and author. The publisher and author's names shall appear on +all outer surfaces of the book.

COPYRIGHT + +The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or designee. + + +III. SCOPE OF LICENSE + +The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works, unless +otherwise explicitly stated in the document. + +Mere aggregation of Open Publication works or a portion of an Open Publication +work with other works or programs on the same media shall not cause this +license to apply to those other works. The aggregate work shall contain a +notice specifying the inclusion of the Open Publication material and +appropriate copyright notice. + +SEVERABILITY. If any part of this license is found to be unenforceable in any +jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the license remain in force. + +NO WARRANTY.

GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS + +In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and +strongly recommended of redistributors that: + + 1. If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you + provide email notification to the authors of your intent to redistribute + at least thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze, to give the + authors time to provide updated documents. This notification should + describe modifications, if any, made to the document. + 2. All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly + marked up in the document or else described in an attachment to the + document. + 3. Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered + good form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of + an Open Publication-licensed work to its author(s). + + +VI. LICENSE OPTIONS + +The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may +elect certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the +license. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be +included with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived works. + +A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the +explicit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined as +a change to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes in +format or typographical corrections. + +To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively modified +versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the +copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy. + +B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in whole or in +part in standard (paper) book form for commercial purposes is prohibited unless +prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder. + +To accomplish this, add the phrase 'Distribution of the work or derivative of +the work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior +permission is obtained from the copyright holder.' to the license reference or +copy. |
