>The first two points primarily protect me from repeatedly hearing about

|
obsolete bugs.
|
|
I do not want to hear about bugs I fixed a year ago, just because you
|
|
are not properly mirroring the document.
|
|
By linking to the master site,
|
|
users can check and see if your mirror is up-to-date.
|
|
I'm sensitive to the problems of sites which have very
|
|
strong security requirements and therefore cannot risk normal
|
|
connections to the Internet; if that describes your situation,
|
|
at least try to meet the other points
|
|
and try to occasionally sneakernet updates into your environment.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>By this license, you may modify the document,
|
|
but you can't claim that what you didn't write is yours (i.e., plagiarism)
|
|
nor can you pretend that a modified version is identical to
|
|
the original work.
|
|
Modifying the work does not transfer copyright of the entire work to you;
|
|
this is not a ``public domain'' work in terms of copyright law.
|
|
See the license in <A
|
|
HREF="fdl.html"
|
|
>Appendix D</A
|
|
> for details.
|
|
If you have questions about what the license allows, please contact me.
|
|
In most cases, it's better if you send your changes to the master
|
|
integrator (currently David A. Wheeler), so that your changes will be
|
|
integrated with everyone else's changes into the master copy.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>I am not a lawyer, nevertheless, it's my position as an author
|
|
and software developer that any code fragments
|
|
not explicitly marked otherwise are so small that their use fits under
|
|
the ``fair use'' doctrine in copyright law.
|
|
In other words, unless marked otherwise, you can use the code fragments
|
|
without any restriction at all.
|
|
Copyright law does not permit copyrighting absurdly small components
|
|
of a work
|
|
(e.g., ``I own all rights to B-flat and B-flat minor chords''), and
|
|
the fragments not marked otherwise are of the same kind of minuscule
|
|
size when compared to real programs.
|
|
I've done my best to give credit for specific pieces of code
|
|
written by others.
|
|
Some of you may still be concerned about the legal status of this code,
|
|
and I want make sure that it's clear
|
|
that you can use this code in your software.
|
|
Therefore, code fragments included directly in this document not otherwise
|
|
marked have also been released by me under the terms of the ``MIT license'',
|
|
to ensure you that there's no serious legal encumbrance:</P
