Here is an analysys of Netpbm copyrights done by Steve McIntyre
<stevem@chiark.greenend.org.uk> finishing on October 7, 2001.
It is based on Netpbm 9.20, so it doesn't cover material added since
then.
Copyright:
==========
Netpbm has a very complicated licensing setup, as it is a collection
of hundreds of small utility programs, each with an individual
copyright/license. From inspection of the source and documentation in
the package, I believe the following programs are DFSG-free. They have
a variety of licenses, which I have summarised below for convenience.
A: The most common netpbm license - clearly the original from Jef Poskanzer:
Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided
that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that
copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting
documentation. This software is provided "as is" without express or
implied warranty.
The core libp[gbnp]m library code all also seems to follow this license.
B: The standard BSD license. See /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD
C: GNU General Public License v2. See /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL.
D: The Independent JPEG Group license:
Permission is hereby granted to use, copy, modify, and distribute
this software (or portions thereof) for any purpose, without fee,
subject to these conditions: (1) If any part of the source code
for this software is distributed, then this README file must be
included, with this copyright and no-warranty notice unaltered;
and any additions, deletions, or changes to the original files
must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. (2) If
only executable code is distributed, then the accompanying
documentation must state that "this software is based in part on
the work of the Independent JPEG Group". (3) Permission for use
of this software is granted only if the user accepts full
responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors
accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on
the IJG code, not just to the unmodified library. If you use our
work, you ought to acknowledge us.
Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or
company name in advertising or publicity relating to this software
or products derived from it. This software may be referred to
only as "the Independent JPEG Group's software".
We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as
the basis of commercial products, provided that all warranty or
liability claims are assumed by the product vendor.
E: This software is copyrighted as noted below. It may be freely copied,
modified, and redistributed, provided that the copyright notice is
preserved on all copies.
There is no warranty or other guarantee of fitness for this software,
it is provided solely "as is". Bug reports or fixes may be sent
to the author, who may or may not act on them as he desires.
You may not include this software in a program or other software product
without supplying the source, or without informing the end-user that the
source is available for no extra charge.
If you modify this software, you should include a notice giving the
name of the person performing the modification, the date of modification,
and the reason for such modification.
F: The program and documentation may be freely distributed by anyone in source
or binary format. Please clearly note any changes.
G: Public domain:
This software is in the public domain. Permission to use, copy,
modify, and distribute this software and its documentation for any
purpose and without fee is hereby granted, without any conditions or
restrictions.
H: Public domain, slightly different wording:
Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and
its documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby
granted, without any conditions or restrictions. This software is
provided "as is" without express or implied warranty.
I: A variation on the BSD license
Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sell this
software and its documentation for any purpose is hereby
granted without fee, provided that the above copyright
notice appear in all copies and that both that copyright
notice and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation,
and that the name of the Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory not be used in advertising or publicity
pertaining to distribution of the software without specific,
written prior permission. The Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory makes no representations about the suitability
of this software for any purpose. It is provided "as is"
without express or implied warranty.
THE SMITHSONIAN ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, IN NO
EVENT SHALL THE SMITHSONIAN ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA
OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.
