VIM LICENSE
|
|
|
|
I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of
|
|
pathogen.vim except that they must include this license text. You can
|
|
also distribute unmodified parts of pathogen.vim, likewise unrestricted
|
|
except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to
|
|
include executables that you made from the unmodified pathogen.vim
|
|
sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts.
|
|
|
|
II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of
|
|
pathogen.vim, including executables and/or source code, when the following
|
|
four conditions are met:
|
|
1) This license text must be included unmodified.
|
|
2) The modified pathogen.vim must be distributed in one of the following
|
|
five ways:
|
|
a) If you make changes to pathogen.vim yourself, you must clearly
|
|
describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the
|
|
maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified
|
|
pathogen.vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including
|
|
source code, available to the maintainer without fee. The
|
|
maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the
|
|
official version of pathogen.vim. What the maintainer will do with
|
|
your changes and under what license they will be distributed is
|
|
negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or
|
|
a later version, also applies to your changes. The current
|
|
maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this changes it
|
|
will be announced in appropriate places (most likely vim.sf.net,
|
|
www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely impossible
|
|
to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him your changes
|
|
ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has received your
|
|
changes they will not have to be sent again.
|
|
b) If you have received a modified pathogen.vim that was distributed as
|
|
mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
|
|
unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the
|
|
text under a) applies to those changes.
|
|
c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
|
|
the modified pathogen.vim you distribute. This may be done in the
|
|
form of a context diff. You can choose what license to use for new
|
|
code you add. The changes and their license must not restrict
|
|
others from making their own changes to the official version of
|
|
pathogen.vim.
|
|
d) When you have a modified pathogen.vim which includes changes as
|
|
mentioned under c), you can distribute it without the source code
|
|
for the changes if the following three conditions are met:
|
|
- The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
|
|
the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
|
|
permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
|
|
version of pathogen.vim without fee or restriction.
|
|
- You keep the changes for at least three years after last
|
|
distributing the corresponding modified pathogen.vim. When the
|
|
maintainer or someone who you distributed the modified
|
|
pathogen.vim to asks you (in any way) for the changes within this
|
|
period, you must make them available to him.
|
|
- You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This
|
|
contact information must remain valid for at least three years
|
|
after last distributing the corresponding modified pathogen.vim,
|
|
or as long as possible.
|
|
e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
|
|
you can distribute the modified pathogen.vim under the GNU GPL
|
|
version 2 or any later version.
|
|
3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
|
|
command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified
|
|
pathogen.vim is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as
|
|
mentioned under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as
|
|
this does not conflict with the license used for the changes.
|
|
4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
|
|
removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
|
|
corrections.
|
|
|
|
III) If you distribute a modified version of pathogen.vim, you are encouraged
|
|
to use the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
|
|
maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is
|
|
by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. If
|
|
the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
|
|
context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is
|
|
<maintainer@vim.org>
|
|
|
|
IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the
|
|
pathogen.vim sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may
|
|
use this license for previous pathogen.vim releases instead of the
|
|
license that they came with, at your option.
