The words are different, but the goal is the +same - to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change +software. If anyone wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should +interpret it as consistent with GPL 2.0. + + +Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0 +================================= + +The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes +with any rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to +the SimPL by copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the +software. + + You get the royalty free right to: + +- Use the software for any purpose; +- Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work"); +- Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work. + +If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to +the community by: + +- Prominently noting the date of any changes you make; +- Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and + license terms in place; +- Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and + interface definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to + modify; +- Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms + (such as GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights + provided; +- Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license. + +There are some things that you must shoulder: + +- You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind; +- If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct + damages up to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did + not pay anything). You may not recover any other damages, including + those called "consequential damages." (The state or country where + you live may not allow you to limit your liability in this way, so + this may not apply to you); + +The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end +automatically if: + +- You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your + licensees get to keep their rights if they abide); +- Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms + of the SimPL. + +License for the License +----------------------- + +You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license +form to use in any way that you find helpful. To avoid confusion, +however, if you change the terms in any way then you may not call your +license the Simple Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to +acknowledge that your license is "based on the Simple Public License"). -- cgit v1.2.3
