ITU-T SOFTWARE TOOLS' GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
===
This "General Public License" is published in the Annex 1 of the ITU-T
Recommendation on "SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR HOMOGENITY OF RESULTS IN
THE STANDARDIZATION PROCESS OF SPEECH AND AUDIO CODERS", approved
in Geneva, 2000.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. This License Agreement applies to any module or other work related to the ITU-T
Software Tool Library, and developed by the User's Group on Software Tools. The
"Module", below, refers to any such module or work, and a "work based on the Module"
means either the Module or any work containing the Module or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications.
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Module's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you:
- conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty;
-keep intact all the notices that refer to this General Public License and to the absence
of any warranty; and
-give any other recipients of the Module a copy of this General Public License along
with the Module.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy.
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Module or any portion of it, and copy and
distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you
also do the following:
- cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change; and
- cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
contains the Module or any part thereof, either with or without modifications, to be
licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this General Public License
(except that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all third parties,
at your option).
- If the modified module normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the simplest and most usual
way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice
and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and
that users may redistribute the module under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this General Public License.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your
option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Module (or its derivative) on
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
scope of these terms.
4.You may copy and distribute the Module (or a portion or derivative of it, under
Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and
2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
- accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,
which must be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
- accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party
free (except for a nominal charge for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-
readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
- accompany it with the information you received as to where the corresponding
source code may be obtained.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the module in object code or executable form alone.)
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications
to it.
For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for all modules
it contains;
but, as a special exception, it need not include source code for modules which are
standard libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable file
runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that accompany that operating
system.
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the Module except as
expressly provided under this General Public License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the Module is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use the Module under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights to use copies, from you under
this General Public License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
6. By copying, distributing or modifying the Module (or any work based on the Module)
you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, and all its terms and conditions.
7. Each time you redistribute the Module (or any work based on the Module), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute
or modify the Module subject to these terms and conditions.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein.
