|
|
The authors of ASCEND will consider other licensing arrangements |
3 |
|
|
on a case-by-case basis. This license applies to all ASCEND |
4 |
|
|
interface, compiler, and solver programs, but not to third |
5 |
|
|
party software subsystems (Tcl/Tk/solving codes) that we |
6 |
|
|
may call. |

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim |

copies of this license document, but changing it is not |

Preamble |
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away |
22 |
|
|
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU |
23 |
|
|
General Public License is intended to guarantee your |
24 |
|
|
freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the |
25 |
|
|
software is free for all its users. This General Public |
26 |
|
|
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's |
27 |
|
|
software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
28 |
|
|
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is |
29 |
|
|
covered by the GNU Library General Public License |
30 |
|
|
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. |
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to |
33 |
|
|
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are |
34 |
|
|
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to |
35 |
|
|
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this |
36 |
|
|
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can |
37 |
|
|
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or |
38 |
|
|
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know |
39 |
|
|
you can do these things. |
40 |
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that |
42 |
|
|
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to |
43 |
|
|
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to |
44 |
|
|
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies |
45 |
|
|
of the software, or if you modify it. |
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, |
48 |
|
|
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients |
49 |
|
|
all the rights that you have. You must make sure that |
50 |
|
|
they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you |
51 |
|
|
must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the |
54 |
|
|
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you |
55 |
|
|
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the |
56 |
|
|
software. |
57 |
|
|
|
58 |
|
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to |
59 |
|
|
make certain that everyone understands that there is no |
60 |
|
|
warranty for this free software. If the software is |
61 |
|
|
modified by someone else and passed on, we want its |
62 |
|
|
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, |
63 |
|
|
so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect |
64 |
|
|
on the original authors' reputations. |
65 |
|
|
|
66 |
|
|
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by |
67 |
|
|
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that |
68 |
|
|
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain |
69 |
|
|
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. |
70 |
|
|
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must |
71 |
|
|
be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at |
72 |
|
|
all. |
73 |
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution |
75 |
|
|
and modification follow. |

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
78 |
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND |
79 |
|
|
MODIFICATION |
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
|
|
0. This License applies to any program or other work |
82 |
|
|
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder |
83 |
|
|
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this |
84 |
|
|
General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to |
85 |
|
|
any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
86 |
|
|
means either the Program or any derivative work under |
87 |
|
|
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the |
88 |
|
|
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with |
89 |
|
|
modifications and/or translated into another language. |
90 |
|
|
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
91 |
|
|
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as |
92 |
|
|
"you". |
93 |
|
|
|
94 |
|
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and |
95 |
|
|
modification are not covered by this License; they are |
96 |
|
|
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not |
97 |
|
|
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only |
98 |
|
|
if its contents constitute a work based on the Program |
99 |
|
|
(independent of having been made by running the Program). |
100 |
|
|
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the |
103 |
|
|
Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, |
104 |
|
|
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish |
105 |
|
|
on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer |
106 |
|
|
of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this |
107 |
|
|
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any |
108 |
|
|
other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
109 |
|
|
along with the Program. |
110 |
|
|
|
111 |
|
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a |
112 |
|
|
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection |
113 |
|
|
in exchange for a fee. |
114 |
|
|
|
115 |
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or |
116 |
|
|
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the |
117 |
|
|
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work |
118 |
|
|
under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also |
119 |
|
|
meet all of these conditions: |
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
|
|
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent |
122 |
|
|
notices stating that you changed the files and the date |
123 |
|
|
of any change. |
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
|
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or |
126 |
|
|
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is |
127 |
|
|
derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be |
128 |
|
|
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties |
129 |
|
|
under the terms of this License. |
130 |
|
|
|
131 |
|
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands |
132 |
|
|
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started |
133 |
|
|
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary |
134 |
|
|
way, to print or display an announcement including an |
135 |
|
|
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is |
136 |
|
|
no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a |
137 |
|
|
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program |
138 |
|
|
under these conditions, and telling the user how to |
139 |
|
|
view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the |
140 |
|
|
Program itself is interactive but does not normally |
141 |
|
|
print such an announcement, your work based on the |
142 |
|
|
Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
143 |
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. |
145 |
|
|
If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from |
146 |
|
|
the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent |
147 |
|
|
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and |
148 |
|
|
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you |
149 |
|
|
distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute |
150 |
|
|
the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
151 |
|
|
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on |
152 |
|
|
the terms of this License, whose permissions for other |
153 |
|
|
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and |
154 |
|
|
every part regardless of who wrote it. |
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
|
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights |
157 |
|
|
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; |
158 |
|
|
rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the |
159 |
|
|
distribution of derivative or collective works based on the |
160 |
|
|
Program. |
161 |
|
|
|
162 |
|
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on |
163 |
|
|
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the |
164 |
|
|
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium |
165 |
|
|
does not bring the other work under the scope of this |
166 |
|
|
License. |
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
|
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work |
169 |
|
|
based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable |
170 |
|
|
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided |
171 |
|
|
that you also do one of the following: |
172 |
|
|
|
173 |
|
|
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding |
174 |
|
|
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed |
175 |
|
|
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
176 |
|
|
customarily used for software interchange; or, |
177 |
|
|
|
178 |
|
|
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at |
179 |
|
|
least three years, to give any third party, for a |
180 |
|
|
charge no more than your cost of physically performing |
181 |
|
|
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy |
182 |
|
|
of the corresponding source code, to be distributed |
183 |
|
|
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
184 |
|
|
customarily used for software interchange; or, |
185 |
|
|
|
186 |
|
|
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to |
187 |
|
|
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. |
188 |
|
|
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial |
189 |
|
|
distribution and only if you received the program in |
190 |
|
|
object code or executable form with such an offer, in |
191 |
|
|
accord with Subsection b above.) |
192 |
|
|
|
193 |
|
|
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the |
194 |
|
|
work for making modifications to it. For an executable |
195 |
|
|
work, complete source code means all the source code for |
196 |
|
|
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface |
197 |
|
|
definition files, plus the scripts used to control |
198 |
|
|
compilation and installation of the executable. However, |
199 |
|
|
as a special exception, the source code distributed need |
200 |
|
|
not include anything that is normally distributed (in |
201 |
|
|
either source or binary form) with the major components |
202 |
|
|
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
203 |
|
|
which the executable runs, unless that component itself |
204 |
|
|
accompanies the executable. |
205 |
|
|
|
206 |
|
|
If distribution of executable or object code is made by |
207 |
|
|
offering access to copy from a designated place, then |
208 |
|
|
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the |
209 |
|
|
same place counts as distribution of the source code, even |
210 |
|
|
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source |
211 |
|
|
along with the object code. |
212 |
|
|
|
213 |
|
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute |
214 |
|
|
the Program except as expressly provided under this |
215 |
|
|
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense |
216 |
|
|
or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically |
217 |
|
|
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties |
218 |
|
|
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this |
219 |
|
|
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as |
220 |
|
|
such parties remain in full compliance. |
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
|
|
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you |
223 |
|
|
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you |
224 |
|
|
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its |
225 |
|
|
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if |
226 |
|
|
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or |
227 |
|
|
distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
228 |
|
|
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to |
229 |
|
|
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, |
230 |
|
|
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on |
231 |
|
|
it. |
232 |
|
|
|
233 |
|
|
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work |
234 |
|
|
based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives |
235 |
|
|
a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or |
236 |
|
|
modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. |
237 |
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the |
238 |
|
|
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are |
239 |
|
|
not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties |
240 |
|
|
to this License. |
241 |
|
|
|
242 |
|
|
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation |
243 |
|
|
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited |
244 |
|
|
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether |
245 |
|
|
by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the |
246 |
|
|
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the |
247 |
|
|
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as |
248 |
|
|
to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
249 |
|
|
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a |
250 |
|
|
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For |
251 |
|
|
example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free |
252 |
|
|
redistribution of the Program by all those who receive |
253 |
|
|
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only |
254 |
|
|
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
255 |
|
|
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
256 |
|
|
|
257 |
|
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or |
258 |
|
|
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the |
259 |
|
|
balance of the section is intended to apply and the section |
260 |
|
|
as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
261 |
|
|
|
262 |
|
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to |
263 |
|
|
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to |
264 |
|
|
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the |
265 |
|
|
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free |
266 |
|
|
software distribution system, which is implemented by |
267 |
|
|
public license practices. Many people have made generous |
268 |
|
|
contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
269 |
|
|
through that system in reliance on consistent application |
270 |
|
|
of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if |
271 |
|
|
he or she is willing to distribute software through any |
272 |
|
|
other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. |
273 |
|
|
|
274 |
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is |
275 |
|
|
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
276 |
|
|
|
277 |
|
|
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is |
278 |
|
|
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by |
279 |
|
|
copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who |
280 |
|
|
places the Program under this License may add an explicit |
281 |
|
|
geographical distribution limitation excluding those |
282 |
|
|
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or |
283 |
|
|
among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this |
284 |
|
|
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the |
285 |
|
|
body of this License. |
286 |
|
|
|
287 |
|
|
9. The Free Software Foundation may |
288 |
|
|
publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public |
289 |
|
|
License from time to time. Such new versions will be |
290 |
|
|
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in |
291 |
|
|
detail to address new problems or concerns. |
292 |
|
|
|
293 |
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If |
294 |
|
|
the Program specifies a version number of this License |
295 |
|
|
which applies to it and "any later version", you have the |
296 |
|
|
option of following the terms and conditions either of that |
297 |
|
|
version or of any later version published by the Free |
298 |
|
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a |
299 |
|
|
version number of this License, you may choose any version |
300 |
|
|
ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
301 |
|
|
|
302 |
|
|
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into |
303 |
|
|
other free programs whose distribution conditions are |
304 |
|
|
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For |
305 |
|
|
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software |
306 |
|
|
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we |
307 |
|
|
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be |
308 |
|
|
guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of |
309 |
|
|
all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the |
310 |
|
|
sharing and reuse of software generally. |
311 |
|
|
|
312 |
|
|
NO WARRANTY |
313 |
|
|
|
314 |
|
|
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE |
315 |
|
|
IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
316 |
|
|
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING |
317 |
|
|
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE |
318 |
|
|
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER |
319 |
|
|
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
320 |
|
|
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A |
321 |
|
|
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
322 |
|
|
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM |
323 |
|
|
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY |
324 |
|
|
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
325 |
|
|
|
326 |
|
|
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR |
327 |
|
|
AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY |
328 |
|
|
OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM |
329 |
|
|
AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING |
330 |
|
|
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES |
331 |
|
|
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM |
332 |
|
|
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
333 |
|
|
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
334 |
|

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
344 |
|
|
|
345 |
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of |
346 |
|
|
the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to |
347 |
|
|
achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can |
348 |
|
|
redistribute and change under these terms. |
349 |
|
|
|
350 |
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. |
351 |
|
|
It is safest to attach them to the start of each source |
352 |
|
|
file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; |
353 |
|
|
and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and |
354 |
|
|
a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
355 |
|
|
|
356 |
|
|
/* |
357 |
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic |
376 |
|
|
and paper mail. |
377 |
|
|
|
378 |
|
|
If the program is interactive, make it output a short |
379 |
|
|
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: |

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author |
383 |
|
|
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
384 |
|
|
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
385 |
|
|
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
386 |
|
|
|
387 |
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show |
388 |
|
|
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of |
389 |
|
|
course, the commands you use may be called something other |
390 |
|
|
than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks |
391 |
|
|
or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
392 |
|
|
|
393 |
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a |
394 |
|
|
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright |
395 |
|
|
disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a |
396 |
|
|
sample; alter the names: |

406 |

your program into proprietary programs. If your program is |

a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to |
