This documents purpose is to state the conditions under which this Package (See
definition below) viz: "Shadow", the Shadow Password Suite which is held by Julianne
Frances Haugh, may be copied, such that the copyright holder maintains some
semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the
users of the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
So there.
***************************************************************************
Definitions:
A "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder, and
derivatives of that collection of files created through textual modification, or segments
thereof.
"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified, or has been
modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright Holder.
"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for the package.
"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media cost,
duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will not be required to
justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large as a
market that must bear the fee.)
"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though there may
be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that recipients of the item may
redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the Standard
Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you duplicate all of the
original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived from the
Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall
still be considered the Standard Version.
3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that you
insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when AND WHY you
changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them Freely
Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium,
or placing the modifications on a major archive site such as uunet.uu.net, or by
allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard Version of
the Package.
b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with standard
executables, which must also be provided, and provide separate documentation for
each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it differs from the Standard
Version.
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable form,
provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together with
instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.
b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package with
your modifications.
c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names, and
clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together with
instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
