LZMA Utils Licenses |
|||
------------------- |
|||
XZ Utils Licensing |
|||
================== |
|||
|
|||
Different licenses apply to different files in this package. Here |
|||
is a rough summary of which license apply to which parts of this |
|||
is a rough summary of which licenses apply to which parts of this |
|||
package (but check the individual files to be sure!): |
|||
- Everything under src/liblzma/check and tests/files is public |
|||
domain. |
|||
- Everything else under the src directory is under the GNU LGPL |
|||
2.1 or (at your opinion) any later version. |
|||
- Outside the src directory, there are some files that are under |
|||
the GNU GPL 2 or (at your opinion) any later version, or under |
|||
the GNU GPL 3 or (at your opinion) any later version. |
|||
- Most documentation files are under an all-permissive license. |
|||
|
|||
The following license texts are included in the following files |
|||
in this package: |
|||
|
|||
- liblzma is in the public domain. |
|||
|
|||
- xz, xzdec, and lzmadec command line tools are in the public |
|||
domain unless GNU getopt_long had to be compiled and linked |
|||
in from the lib directory. The getopt_long code is under |
|||
GNU LGPLv2.1+. |
|||
|
|||
- The scripts to grep, diff, and view compressed files have been |
|||
adapted from gzip. These scripts and their documentation are |
|||
under GNU GPLv2+. |
|||
|
|||
- All the documentation in the doc directory and most of the |
|||
XZ Utils specific documentation files in other directories |
|||
are in the public domain. |
|||
|
|||
- Translated messages are in the public domain. |
|||
|
|||
- The build system contains public domain files, and files that |
|||
are under GNU GPLv2+ or GNU GPLv3+. None of these files end up |
|||
in the binaries being built. |
|||
|
|||
- Test files and test code in the tests directory, and debugging |
|||
utilities in the debug directory are in the public domain. |
|||
|
|||
- The extra directory may contain public domain files, and files |
|||
that are under various free software licenses. |
|||
|
|||
You can do whatever you want with the files that have been put into |
|||
the public domain. If you find public domain legally problematic, |
|||
take the previous sentence as a license grant. If you still find |
|||
the lack of copyright legally problematic, you have too many |
|||
lawyers. |
|||
|
|||
If you copy significant amounts of public domain code from XZ Utils |
|||
into your project, acknowledging this somewhere in your software is |
|||
polite, but naturally it is not legally required. |
|||
|
|||
As usual, this software is provided "as is", without any warranty. |
|||
|
|||
The following license texts are included in the following files: |
|||
- COPYING.LGPLv2.1: GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 |
|||
- COPYING.GPLv2: GNU General Public License version 2 |
|||
- COPYING.GPLv3: GNU General Public License version 3 |
|||
|
|||
If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the copyright holder(s) |
|||
for more information. |
|||
Note that the toolchain (compiler, linker etc.) may add some code |
|||
pieces that are copyrighted. Thus, it is possible that e.g. liblzma |
|||
binary wouldn't actually be in the public domain in its entirety |
|||
even though it contains no copyrighted code from this package. |
|||
|
|||
If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the author(s) for more |
|||
information. |
