There is nothing +legitimate you should not be able to do with the skalibs code. If +the license somehow stands in the way, please let me know. +</p> + +<h2> Documentation </h2> + +<p> + However, the skalibs <em>documentation</em>, which you are currently +reading, and which is available in the <tt>doc/</tt> subdirectory of +the official skalibs tarball, is <strong>not</strong> provided under +the same license. +</p> + +<p> + The license for the skalibs documentation is more restrictive than +the license for the source code. Namely: +</p> + +<ul> + <li> The exact same disclaimer applies. </li> + <li> You have the right to download, use and modify the documentation. </li> + <li> You have the right to distribute <em>unmodified</em> copies of the documentation. </li> + <li> You have the right to distribute <em>modified</em> copies of the documentation, +provided that: + <ul> + <li> The contents and links (not necessarily the appearance) of this file, +<a href="license.html">license.html</a>, are <em>left unmodified</em>; </li> + <li> On your documentation's <a href="index.html">main page</a>, +you explicitly state that the documentation has been modified, and you +set up a +<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">link to the original +skalibs site</a>, explicitly stating that the original software and +documentation can be found there; </li> + <li> The parts of the documentation that you have modified are +<em>unarguably and undeniably distinguishable</em> from the unmodified parts. +You can, for instance, use a different text color, different background +color, or different text font. </li> + </ul> + </li> +</ul> + +<p> + <em>I am aware that the previous restrictions sound completely +ridiculous while the official skalibs documentation is incomplete. +As of 2.0.0.0, I'm not going to enforce those restrictions, but if you're +going to provide documentation for skalibs, don't keep it to yourself, +please send it to me instead. :-) </em> +</p> + +</body> +</html> |
