You can't charge for it. You can copy it as +much as you like. You can incorporate it, or bits of it, into other +free programs if you want. (But we want to know about it if you do, +and we want to be mentioned in the credits.) We may well allow you +to incorporate it into commercial software too, but we'll probably +demand some money for it, and we'll certainly demand to be given +credit. And in extreme cases (although I can't immediately think of +a reason we might actually want to do this) we may refuse to let you +do it at all. + +NASM LICENCE AGREEMENT +====================== + +By "the Software" this licence refers to the complete contents of +the NASM archive, excluding this licence document itself, and +excluding the contents of the `test' directory. The Netwide +Disassembler, NDISASM, is specifically included under this licence. + +I. The Software is freely redistributable; anyone may copy the +Software, or parts of the Software, and give away as many copies as +they like to anyone, as long as this licence document is kept with +the Software. Charging a fee for the Software is prohibited, +although a fee may be charged for the act of transferring a copy, +and you can offer warranty protection and charge a fee for that. + +II. The Software, or parts thereof, may be incorporated into other +freely redistributable software (by which we mean software that may +be obtained free of charge) without requiring permission from the +authors, as long as due credit is given to the authors of the +Software in the resulting work, as long as the authors are informed +of this action, and as long as those parts of the Software that are +used remain under this licence. + +III. The Software, or parts thereof, may be incorporated into other +software which is not freely redistributable (i.e. software for +which a fee is charged), as long as permission is granted from the +authors of the Software. The authors reserve the right to grant this +permission only for a fee, which may at our option take the form of +royalty payments. The authors also reserve the right to refuse to +grant permission if they deem it necessary. + +IV. You may not copy, modify or distribute the Software except under +the terms given in this licence document. You may not sublicense the +Software or in any way place it under any other licence than this +one. Since you have not signed this licence, you are not of course +required to accept it; however, no other licence applies to the +Software, and nothing else grants you any permission to copy, +modify, sublicense or distribute the Software in any way. These +actions are therefore prohibited if you do not accept this licence. + +V. There is no warranty for the Software, to the extent permitted by +applicable law. The authors provide the Software "as is" without +warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not +limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for +a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and +performance of the Software is with you. Should the Software prove +defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or +correction. + +VI. In no event, unless required by applicable law or agreed to in +writing, will any of the authors be liable to you for damages, +including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages, +arising out of the use or the inability to use the Software, +including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered +inaccurate or a failure of the Software to operate with any other +programs, even if you have been advised of the possibility of such +damages. + +END OF LICENCE AGREEMENT |
