- <p>
- Aladdin Enterprises hereby grants to anyone the permission to apply this
- License to their own work, as long as the entire License (including the
- above notices and this paragraph) is copied with no changes, additions, or
- deletions except for changing the first paragraph of Section 0 to include a
- suitable description of the work to which the license is being applied and
- of the person or entity that holds the copyright in the work, and, if the
- License is being applied to a work created in a country other than the
- United States, replacing the first paragraph of Section 6 with an
- appropriate reference to the laws of the appropriate country.
- <p>
- This License is not an Open Source license: among other things, it places
- restrictions on distribution of the Program, specifically including sale of
- the Program. While Aladdin Enterprises respects and supports the philosophy
- of the Open Source Definition, and shares the desire of the GNU project to
- keep licensed software freely redistributable in both source and object
- form, we feel that Open Source licenses unfairly prevent developers of
- useful software from being compensated proportionately when others profit
- financially from their work. This License attempts to ensure that those who
- receive, redistribute, and contribute to the licensed Program according to
- the Open Source and Free Software philosophies have the right to do so,
- while retaining for the developer(s) of the Program the power to make those
- who use the Program to enhance the value of commercial products pay for the
- privilege of doing so.
- <h2>0. Subject Matter</h2>
- <p>
- This License applies to the computer program known as "AFPL Ghostscript."
- The "Program", below, refers to such program. The Program is a copyrighted
- work whose copyright is held by artofcode LLC, located in Benicia,
- California (the "Licensor"). Please note that AFPL Ghostscript is neither
- the program known as "GNU Ghostscript" nor the version of Ghostscript
- available for commercial licensing from Artifex Software Inc.
- <p>
- A "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative
- work of the Program, as defined in the United States Copyright Act of 1976,
- such as a translation or a modification.
- <p>
- <b>
- BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
- PROGRAM), YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND ALL
- ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING THE PROGRAM
- OR WORKS BASED ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS YOU
- PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS DERIVATIVE WORKS.
- THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND
- CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM.
- </b>
- <h2>1. Licenses.</h2>
- <p>
- Licensor hereby grants you the following rights, provided that you comply
- with all of the restrictions set forth in this License and provided,
- further, that you distribute an unmodified copy of this License with the
- Program:
- <dl compact>
- <dt>(a)<dd>You may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of the
- Program's source code as you receive it throughout the world, in any
- medium.
- <dt>(b)<dd>You may modify the Program, create works based on the Program and
- distribute copies of such throughout the world, in any medium.
- </dl>
- <h2>2. Restrictions.</h2>
- <p>
- This license is subject to the following restrictions:
- <dl compact>
- <dt>(a)<dd>Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by a
- commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if any payment is
- made in connection with such distribution, whether directly (as in payment
- for a copy of the Program) or indirectly (as in payment for some service
- related to the Program, or payment for some product or service that includes
- a copy of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples, and not an
- exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities). The following methods of
- distribution involving payment shall not in and of themselves be a violation
- of this restriction:
- <dl compact>
- <dt>(i)<dd>Posting the Program on a public access information storage and
- retrieval service for which a fee is received for retrieving information
- (such as an on-line service), provided that the fee is not content-dependent
- (i.e., the fee would be the same for retrieving the same volume of
- information consisting of random data) and that access to the service and to
- the Program is available independent of any other product or service. An
- example of a service that does not fall under this section is an on-line
- service that is operated by a company and that is only available to
- customers of that company. (This is not an exhaustive enumeration.)
- <dt>(ii)<dd>Distributing the Program on removable computer-readable media,
- provided that the files containing the Program are reproduced entirely and
- verbatim on such media, that all information on such media be
- redistributable for non-commercial purposes without charge, and that such
- media are distributed by themselves (except for accompanying documentation)
- independent of any other product or service. Examples of such media include
- CD-ROM, magnetic tape, and optical storage media. (This is not intended to
- be an exhaustive list.) An example of a distribution that does not fall
- under this section is a CD-ROM included in a book or magazine. (This is not
- an exhaustive enumeration.)
- </dl>
- <dt>(b)<dd>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of the
- Program are not subject to this License and they are outside its scope.
- Functional use (running) of the Program is not restricted, and any output
- produced through the use of the Program is subject to this license only if
- its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
- been made by running the Program).
- <dt>(c)<dd>You must meet all of the following conditions with respect to any
- work that you distribute or publish that in whole or in part contains or is
- derived from the Program or any part thereof ("the Work"):
- <dl compact>
- <dt>(i)<dd>If you have modified the Program, you must cause the Work to
- carry prominent notices stating that you have modified the Program's files
- and the date of any change. In each source file that you have modified, you
- must include a prominent notice that you have modified the file, including
- your name, your e-mail address (if any), and the date and purpose of the
- change;
- <dt>(ii)<dd>You must cause the Work to be licensed as a whole and at no
- charge to all third parties under the terms of this License;
- <dt>(iii)<dd>If the Work normally reads commands interactively when run,
- you must cause it, at each time the Work commences operation, to print or
- display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
- notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
- warranty). Such notice must also state that users may redistribute the Work
- only under the conditions of this License and tell the user how to view the
- copy of this License included with the Work. (Exceptions: if the Program is
- interactive but normally prints or displays such an announcement only at the
- request of a user, such as in an "About box", the Work is required to print
- or display the notice only under the same circumstances; if the Program
- itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, the
- Work is not required to print an announcement.);
- <dt>(iv)<dd>You must accompany the Work with the complete corresponding
- machine-readable source code, delivered on a medium customarily used for
- software interchange. The source code for a work means the preferred form
- of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
- complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
- plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
- control compilation and installation of the executable code. If you
- distribute with the Work any component that is normally distributed (in
- either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
- and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, you must
- also distribute the source code of that component if you have it and are
- allowed to do so;
- <dt>(v)<dd>If you distribute any written or printed material at all with
- the Work, such material must include either a written copy of this License,
- or a prominent written indication that the Work is covered by this License
- and written instructions for printing and/or displaying the copy of the
- License on the distribution medium;
- <dt>(vi)<dd>You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipient's
- exercise of the rights granted herein.
- </dl>
- </dl>
- <p>
- If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering the
- equivalent ability to copy from a designated place, then offering
- equivalent ability to copy the source code from the same place counts as
- distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
- compelled to copy the source code along with the object code.
- <h3>3. Reservation of Rights.</h3>
- <p>
- No rights are granted to the Program except as expressly set forth herein.
- You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
- expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
- modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
- automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
- who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
- have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
- compliance.
- <h3>4. Other Restrictions.</h3>
- <p>
- If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
- countries for any reason, Licensor may add an explicit geographical
- distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
- permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
- this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
- License.
- <h3>5. Limitations.</h3>
- <p>
- <b>
- THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
- WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
- LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
- PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. THE ENTIRE
- RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
- THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
- SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
- </b>
- <p>
- <b>
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
- LICENSOR, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
- PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
- GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
- USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
- DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
- PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
- EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
- SUCH DAMAGES.
- </b>
- <h3>6. General.</h3>
- <p>
- This License is governed by the laws of the State of California, U.S.A.,
- excluding choice of law rules.
- <p>
- If any part of this License is found to be in conflict with the law, that
- part shall be interpreted in its broadest meaning consistent with the law,
- and no other parts of the License shall be affected.
- <p>
- For United States Government users, the Program is provided with
- <b>RESTRICTED RIGHTS</b>. If you are a unit or agency of the
- United States Government or are acquiring the Program for any such unit or
- agency, the following apply:
- <blockquote>
- If the unit or agency is the Department of Defense ("DOD"), the Program
- and its documentation are classified as "commercial computer software" and
- "commercial computer software documentation" respectively and, pursuant to
- DFAR Section 227.7202, the Government is acquiring the Program and its
- documentation in accordance with the terms of this License. If the unit or
- agency is other than DOD, the Program and its documentation are classified
- as "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
- documentation" respectively and, pursuant to FAR Section 12.212, the
- Government is acquiring the Program and its documentation in accordance
- with the terms of this License.
