  33. <p>
  34. Aladdin Enterprises hereby grants to anyone the permission to apply this
  35. License to their own work, as long as the entire License (including the
  36. above notices and this paragraph) is copied with no changes, additions, or
  37. deletions except for changing the first paragraph of Section 0 to include a
  38. suitable description of the work to which the license is being applied and
  39. of the person or entity that holds the copyright in the work, and, if the
  40. License is being applied to a work created in a country other than the
  41. United States, replacing the first paragraph of Section 6 with an
  42. appropriate reference to the laws of the appropriate country.
  43. <p>
  44. This License is not an Open Source license: among other things, it places
  45. restrictions on distribution of the Program, specifically including sale of
  46. the Program. While Aladdin Enterprises respects and supports the philosophy
  47. of the Open Source Definition, and shares the desire of the GNU project to
  48. keep licensed software freely redistributable in both source and object
  49. form, we feel that Open Source licenses unfairly prevent developers of
  50. useful software from being compensated proportionately when others profit
  51. financially from their work. This License attempts to ensure that those who
  52. receive, redistribute, and contribute to the licensed Program according to
  53. the Open Source and Free Software philosophies have the right to do so,
  54. while retaining for the developer(s) of the Program the power to make those
  55. who use the Program to enhance the value of commercial products pay for the
  56. privilege of doing so.
  57. <h2>0. Subject Matter</h2>
  58. <p>
  59. This License applies to the computer program known as "AFPL Ghostscript."
  60. The "Program", below, refers to such program. The Program is a copyrighted
  61. work whose copyright is held by artofcode LLC, located in Benicia,
  62. California (the "Licensor"). Please note that AFPL Ghostscript is neither
  63. the program known as "GNU Ghostscript" nor the version of Ghostscript
  64. available for commercial licensing from Artifex Software Inc.
  65. <p>
  66. A "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
  67. work of the Program, as defined in the United States Copyright Act of 1976,
  68. such as a translation or a modification.
  69. <p>
  70. <b>
  71. BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
  72. PROGRAM), YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND ALL
  73. ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING THE PROGRAM
  74. OR WORKS BASED ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS YOU
  75. PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS DERIVATIVE WORKS.
  76. THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND
  77. CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM.
  78. </b>
  79. <h2>1. Licenses.</h2>
  80. <p>
  81. Licensor hereby grants you the following rights, provided that you comply
  82. with all of the restrictions set forth in this License and provided,
  83. further, that you distribute an unmodified copy of this License with the
  84. Program:
  85. <dl compact>
  86. <dt>(a)<dd>You may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of the
  87. Program's source code as you receive it throughout the world, in any
  88. medium.
  89. <dt>(b)<dd>You may modify the Program, create works based on the Program and
  90. distribute copies of such throughout the world, in any medium.
  91. </dl>
  92. <h2>2. Restrictions.</h2>
  93. <p>
  94. This license is subject to the following restrictions:
  95. <dl compact>
  96. <dt>(a)<dd>Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
  97. commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment is
  98. made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in payment
  99. for a copy of the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for some service
  100. related to the Program, or payment for some product or service that includes
  101. a copy of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples, and not an
  102. exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities). The following methods of
  103. distribution involving payment shall not in and of themselves be a violation
  104. of this restriction:
  105. <dl compact>
  106. <dt>(i)<dd>Posting the Program on a public access information storage and
  107. retrieval service for which a fee is received for retrieving information
  108. (such as an on-line service), provided that the fee is not content-dependent
  109. (i.e., the fee would be the same for retrieving the same volume of
  110. information consisting of random data) and that access to the service and to
  111. the Program is available independent of any other product or service. An
  112. example of a service that does not fall under this section is an on-line
  113. service that is operated by a company and that is only available to
  114. customers of that company. (This is not an exhaustive enumeration.)
  115. <dt>(ii)<dd>Distributing the Program on removable computer-readable media,
  116. provided that the files containing the Program are reproduced entirely and
  117. verbatim on such media, that all information on such media be
  118. redistributable for non-commercial purposes without charge, and that such
  119. media are distributed by themselves (except for accompanying documentation)
  120. independent of any other product or service. Examples of such media include
  121. CD-ROM, magnetic tape, and optical storage media. (This is not intended to
  122. be an exhaustive list.) An example of a distribution that does not fall
  123. under this section is a CD-ROM included in a book or magazine. (This is not
  124. an exhaustive enumeration.)
  125. </dl>
  126. <dt>(b)<dd>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of the
  127. Program are not subject to this License and they are outside its scope.
  128. Functional use (running) of the Program is not restricted, and any output
  129. produced through the use of the Program is subject to this license only if
  130. its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
  131. been made by running the Program).
  132. <dt>(c)<dd>You must meet all of the following conditions with respect to any
  133. work that you distribute or publish that in whole or in part contains or is
  134. derived from the Program or any part thereof ("the Work"):
  135. <dl compact>
  136. <dt>(i)<dd>If you have modified the Program, you must cause the Work to
  137. carry prominent notices stating that you have modified the Program's files
  138. and the date of any change. In each source file that you have modified, you
  139. must include a prominent notice that you have modified the file, including
  140. your name, your e-mail address (if any), and the date and purpose of the
  141. change;
  142. <dt>(ii)<dd>You must cause the Work to be licensed as a whole and at no
  143. charge to all third parties under the terms of this License;
  144. <dt>(iii)<dd>If the Work normally reads commands interactively when run,
  145. you must cause it, at each time the Work commences operation, to print or
  146. display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  147. notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
  148. warranty). Such notice must also state that users may redistribute the Work
  149. only under the conditions of this License and tell the user how to view the
  150. copy of this License included with the Work. (Exceptions: if the Program is
  151. interactive but normally prints or displays such an announcement only at the
  152. request of a user, such as in an "About box", the Work is required to print
  153. or display the notice only under the same circumstances; if the Program
  154. itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, the
  155. Work is not required to print an announcement.);
  156. <dt>(iv)<dd>You must accompany the Work with the complete corresponding
  157. machine-readable source code, delivered on a medium customarily used for
  158. software interchange. The source code for a work means the preferred form
  159. of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
  160. complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
  161. plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
  162. control compilation and installation of the executable code. If you
  163. distribute with the Work any component that is normally distributed (in
  164. either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
  165. and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, you must
  166. also distribute the source code of that component if you have it and are
  167. allowed to do so;
  168. <dt>(v)<dd>If you distribute any written or printed material at all with
  169. the Work, such material must include either a written copy of this License,
  170. or a prominent written indication that the Work is covered by this License
  171. and written instructions for printing and/or displaying the copy of the
  172. License on the distribution medium;
  173. <dt>(vi)<dd>You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipient's
  174. exercise of the rights granted herein.
  175. </dl>
  176. </dl>
  177. <p>
  178. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering the
  179. equivalent ability to copy from a designated place, then offering
  180. equivalent ability to copy the source code from the same place counts as
  181. distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
  182. compelled to copy the source code along with the object code.
  183. <h3>3. Reservation of Rights.</h3>
  184. <p>
  185. No rights are granted to the Program except as expressly set forth herein.
  186. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
  187. expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
  188. modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
  189. automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
  190. who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
  191. have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
  192. compliance.
  193. <h3>4. Other Restrictions.</h3>
  194. <p>
  195. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
  196. countries for any reason, Licensor may add an explicit geographical
  197. distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
  198. permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
  199. this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
  200. License.
  201. <h3>5. Limitations.</h3>
  202. <p>
  203. <b>
  204. THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
  205. WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
  206. LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
  207. PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE ENTIRE
  208. RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
  209. THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
  210. SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  211. </b>
  212. <p>
  213. <b>
  214. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
  215. LICENSOR, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
  216. PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
  217. GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
  218. USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
  219. DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
  220. PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
  221. EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
  222. SUCH DAMAGES.
  223. </b>
  224. <h3>6. General.</h3>
  225. <p>
  226. This License is governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A.,
  227. excluding choice of law rules.
  228. <p>
  229. If any part of this License is found to be in conflict with the law, that
  230. part shall be interpreted in its broadest meaning consistent with the law,
  231. and no other parts of the License shall be affected.
  232. <p>
  233. For United States Government users, the Program is provided with
  234. <b>RESTRICTED RIGHTS</b>. If you are a unit or agency of the
  235. United States Government or are acquiring the Program for any such unit or
  236. agency, the following apply:
  237. <blockquote>
  238. If the unit or agency is the Department of Defense ("DOD"), the Program
  239. and its documentation are classified as "commercial computer software" and
  240. "commercial computer software documentation" respectively and, pursuant to
  241. DFAR Section 227.7202, the Government is acquiring the Program and its
  242. documentation in accordance with the terms of this License. If the unit or
  243. agency is other than DOD, the Program and its documentation are classified
  244. as "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
  245. documentation" respectively and, pursuant to FAR Section 12.212, the
  246. Government is acquiring the Program and its documentation in accordance
  247. with the terms of this License.
