7 This "General Public License" is published in the Annex 1 of the
|
|
8 ITU-T Recommendation on "SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR HOMOGENITY OF RESULTS
|
|
9 IN THE STANDARDIZATION PROCESS OF SPEECH AND AUDIO CODERS",
|
|
10 approved in Geneva, 2000.

13 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
14
|
|
15 1. This License Agreement applies to any module or other work
|
|
16 related to the ITU-T Software Tool Library, and developed by the
|
|
17 User's Group on Software Tools. The "Module", below, refers to any
|
|
18 such module or work, and a "work based on the Module" means either
|
|
19 the Module or any work containing the Module or a portion of it,
|
|
20 either verbatim or with modifications. Each licensee is addressed
|
|
21 as "you".
|
|
22
|
|
23 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Module's
|
|
24 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you:
|
|
25 - conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
|
|
26 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
|
|
27 - keep intact all the notices that refer to this General Public
|
|
28 License and to the absence of any warranty; and
|
|
29 - give any other recipients of the Module a copy of this General
|
|
30 Public License along with the Module.
|
|
31 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy.
|
|
32
|
|
33 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Module or any portion
|
|
34 of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms
|
|
35 of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
|
|
36
|
|
37 o cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
|
|
38 that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
|
|
39
|
|
40 o cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
|
|
41 that in whole or in part contains the Module or any part
|
|
42 thereof, either with or without modifications, to be licensed
|
|
43 at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
|
|
44 General Public License (except that you may choose to grant
|
|
45 warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your
|
|
46 option).
|
|
47
|
|
48 o If the modified module normally reads commands interactively
|
|
49 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
|
|
50 interactive use in the simplest and most usual way, to print or
|
|
51 display an announcement including an appropriate copyright
|
|
52 notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
|
|
53 that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
|
|
54 the module under these conditions, and telling the user how to
|
|
55 view a copy of this General Public License.
|
|
56
|
|
57 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
|
|
58 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
|
|
59 for a fee.
|
|
60
|
|
61 Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Module (or
|
|
62 its derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
|
|
63 does not bring the other work under the scope of these terms.
|
|
64
|
|
65 4. You may copy and distribute the Module (or a portion or
|
|
66 derivative of it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable
|
|
67 form under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you
|
|
68 also do one of the following:
|
|
69
|
|
70 o accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
|
|
71 readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms
|
|
72 of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
|
|
73
|
|
74 o accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
|
|
75 years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
|
|
76 charge for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-
|
|
77 readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
|
|
78 distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
|
|
79
|
|
80 o accompany it with the information you received as to where
|
|
81 the corresponding source code may be obtained. (This
|
|
82 alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and
|
|
83 only if you received the module in object code or executable
|
|
84 form alone.)
|
|
85
|
|
86 Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
|
87 making modifications to it. For an executable file, complete
|
|
88 source code means all the source code for all modules it contains;
|
|
89 but, as a special exception, it need not include source code for
|
|
90 modules which are standard libraries that accompany the operating
|
|
91 system on which the executable file runs, or for standard header
|
|
92 files or definitions files that accompany that operating system.
|
|
93
|
|
94 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
|
|
95 the Module except as expressly provided under this General Public
|
|
96 License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
|
|
97 distribute or transfer the Module is void, and will automatically
|
|
98 terminate your rights to use the Module under this License.
|
|
99 However, parties who have received copies, or rights to use copies,
|
|
100 from you under this General Public License will not have their
|
|
101 licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
|
|
102 compliance.
|
|
103
|
|
104 6. By copying, distributing or modifying the Module (or any work
|
|
105 based on the Module) you indicate your acceptance of this license
|
|
106 to do so, and all its terms and conditions.
|
|
107
|
|
108 7. Each time you redistribute the Module (or any work based on the
|
|
109 Module), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
|
110 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Module subject
|
|
111 to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
|
112 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
|
|
113 herein.
|
|
114
|
|
115 8. The ITU-T may publish revised and/or new versions of this
|
|
116 General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
|
|
117 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
|
|
118 detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
119
|
|
120 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
|
|
121 Module specifies a version number of the license which applies to
|
|
122 it and "any later version", you have the option of following the
|
|
123 terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
|
|
124 published by the ITU-T. If the Module does not specify a version
|
|
125 number of the license, you may choose any version ever published by
|
|
126 the ITU-T.
|
|
127
|
|
128 9. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Module into other free
|
|
129 modules whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
|
|
130 author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by
|
|
131 the ITU-T, write to the ITU-T Secretariat; exceptions may be made
|
|
132 for this. This decision will be guided by the two goals of
|
|
133 preserving the free status of all derivatives of this free software
|
|
134 and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
|
|
135
|
|
136
|
|
137 NO WARRANTY
|
|
138
|
|
139 10. BECAUSE THE MODULE IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|
140 WARRANTY FOR THE MODULE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
|
|
141 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
|
|
142 AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE MODULE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
|
|
143 ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
|
|
144 TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
|
|
145 PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
|
|
146 PERFORMANCE OF THE MODULE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE MODULE PROVE
|
|
147 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
|
|
148 OR CORRECTION.
|
|
149
|
|
150 11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
|
|
151 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
|
|
152 MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE MODULE AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE
|
|
153 TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
|
|
154 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
|
|
155 THE MODULE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
|
|
156 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR
|
|
157 A FAILURE OF THE MODULE TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER MODULES), EVEN IF
|
|
158 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
|
|
159 SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
160
|
|
161 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
