|

| 6 | The GNU General Public License provides a legal guarantee that
|
|---|
| 7 | software covered by it remains free (in the sense of freedom, not
|
|---|
| 8 | price). It achieves this guarantee by imposing obligations on anyone
|
|---|
| 9 | who chooses to distribute the software.
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | Some of these obligations may be seen as unnecessarily burdensome. In
|
|---|
| 12 | particular, when the source code for the software is already publicly
|
|---|
| 13 | and freely available, there is minimal value in imposing upon each
|
|---|
| 14 | distributor the obligation to provide the complete source code (or an
|
|---|
| 15 | equivalent written offer to provide the complete source code).
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | This Licence allows for the distribution of unmodified binaries built
|
|---|
| 18 | from publicly available source code, without imposing the obligations
|
|---|
| 19 | of the GNU General Public License upon anyone who chooses to
|
|---|
| 20 | distribute only the unmodified binaries built from that source code.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | The extra permissions granted by this Licence apply only to unmodified
|
|---|
| 23 | binaries built from source code which has already been made available
|
|---|
| 24 | to the public in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public
|
|---|
| 25 | Licence. Nothing in this Licence allows for the creation of
|
|---|
| 26 | closed-source modified versions of the Program. Any modified versions
|
|---|
| 27 | of the Program are subject to the usual terms and conditions of the
|
|---|
| 28 | GNU General Public License.

| 31 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | This Licence applies to any Program or other work which contains a
|
|---|
| 34 | notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
|
|---|
| 35 | under the terms of this Unmodified Binary Distribution Licence. All
|
|---|
| 36 | terms used in the text of this Licence are to be interpreted as they
|
|---|
| 37 | are used in version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published
|
|---|
| 38 | by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | If you have made this Program available to the public in both source
|
|---|
| 41 | code and executable form in accordance with the terms of the GNU
|
|---|
| 42 | General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation;
|
|---|
| 43 | either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later
|
|---|
| 44 | version, then you are hereby granted an additional permission to use,
|
|---|
| 45 | copy, and distribute the unmodified executable form of this Program
|
|---|
| 46 | (the "Unmodified Binary") without restriction, including the right to
|
|---|
| 47 | permit persons to whom the Unmodified Binary is furnished to do
|
|---|
| 48 | likewise, subject to the following conditions:
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | - when started running, the Program must display an announcement which
|
|---|
| 51 | includes the details of your existing publication of the Program
|
|---|
| 52 | made in accordance with the terms of the GNU General Public License.
|
|---|
| 53 | For example, the Program could display the URL of the publicly
|
|---|
| 54 | available source code from which the Unmodified Binary was built.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | - when exercising your right to grant permissions under this Licence,
|
|---|
| 57 | you do not need to refer directly to the text of this Licence, but
|
|---|
| 58 | you may not grant permissions beyond those granted to you by this
|
|---|
| 59 | Licence.
