1 This program and object code is being provided to "you", the licensee,
2 by Thierry Dutoit, the "author", under the following license, which
3 applies to any program, object code or other work which contains a
4 notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
5 under the terms of this license. The "program", below, refers to any
6 such program, object code or work.
8 By obtaining, using and/or copying this program, you agree that you
9 have read, understood, and will comply with these terms and
12 Terms and conditions for the distribution of the program
13 --------------------------------------------------------
15 This program may not be sold or incorporated into any product which is
16 sold without prior permission from the author.
18 When no charge is made, this program may be copied and distributed
19 freely, provided that this notice is copied and distributed with
20 it. Each time you redistribute the program (or any work based on the
21 program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
22 original licensor to copy or distribute the program subject to these
23 terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on
24 the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
25 responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
27 If you wish to incorporate the program into other free programs whose
28 distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
31 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
32 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
33 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
34 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this license, they do not
35 excuse you from the conditions of this license. If you cannot
36 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
37 license and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
38 may not distribute the program at all. For example, if a patent
39 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the program by
40 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
41 the only way you could satisfy both it and this license would be to
42 refrain entirely from distribution of the program.
