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 if possible, and as long as those parts of the -Software that are used remain under this licence. - -III. Modified forms of the Software may be created and distributed -as long as the authors are informed of this action if possible, as -long as the resulting work remains under this licence, as long as -the modified form of the Software is distributed with documentation -which still gives credit to the original authors of the Software, -and as long as the modified form of the Software is distributed with -a clear statement that it is not the original form of the Software -in the form that it was distributed by the authors. - -IV. 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. For further information -about who exactly the authors are, see clause XI below. - -V. The Software may be incorporated, in its original archive form, -into software collections or archives which are not freely -redistributable, as long as it is clearly stated that the Software -itself remains freely redistributable and remains under this licence -and no other. Such collections are deemed not to fall under article -IV of this licence. - -VI. Object files or programs generated by the Software as output do -not fall under this licence at all, and may be placed under any -licence the author wishes. The authors explicitly lay no claim to, -and assert no rights over, any programs written by other people and -assembled into object form by the Software. - -VII. 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. - -VIII. 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. - -IX. 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. - -X. In addition to what this Licence otherwise provides, the Software -may be distributed in such a way as to be compliant with the GNU -General Public Licence, as published by the Free Software Foundation, -Cambridge, MA, USA; version 2, or, at your option, any later version; -incorporated herein by reference. You must include a copy of this -Licence with such distribution. Furthermore, patches sent to the -authors for the purpose of inclusion in the official release version -are considered cleared for release under the full terms of this -Licence. - -XI. The authors of NASM are the original authors (Simon Tatham and -Julian Hall) and all those who the original authors feel have -contributed significantly to the overall project. If you wish to -contact the authors, Julian Hall (jules@earthcorp.com) should be your -first port of call. - -XII. Should any part of this agreement be deemed unenforcable, it is -intended that the remainder of the agreement be held in force. - -END OF LICENCE AGREEMENT |
