VIM LICENSE
|
|
|
|
I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except
|
|
that they must include this license text. 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.
