1 : edgomez 656 XVID LICENSE
2 :     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
3 :    
4 :     XviD is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL + Link over controlled
5 :     interface + location restrictions.
6 :    
7 :     First part of the file presents the location restrictions and the
8 :     linking permission. The second part is the GNU GPL v2.

11 :    
12 :     LOCATION RESTTRICTION AND LINKING PERMISSION
13 :     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
14 :    
15 :     Under section 8 of the GNU General Public License, the copyright
16 :     holders of XVID explicitly forbid distribution in the following
17 :     countries:
18 :    
19 :     - Japan
20 :     - United States of America
21 :    
22 :     Linking XviD statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
23 :     combined work based on XviD. Thus, the terms and conditions of the
24 :     GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
25 :    
26 :     As a special exception, the copyright holders of XviD give you
27 :     permission to link XviD with independent modules that communicate with
28 :     XviD solely through the VFW1.1 and DShow interfaces, regardless of the
29 :     license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute
30 :     the resulting combined work under terms of your choice, provided that
31 :     every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a complete copy of
32 :     the source code of XviD (the version of XviD used to produce the
33 :     combined work), being distributed under the terms of the GNU General
34 :     Public License plus this exception. An independent module is a module
35 :     which is not derived from or based on XviD.
36 :    
37 :     Note that people who make modified versions of XviD are not obligated
38 :     to grant this special exception for their modified versions; it is
39 :     their choice whether to do so. The GNU General Public License gives
40 :     permission to release a modified version without this exception; this
41 :     exception also makes it possible to release a modified version which
42 :     carries forward this exception.

49 :     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
50 :     Version 2, June 1991
51 :    
52 :     Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
53 :     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
54 :     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
55 :     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
56 :    
57 :     Preamble
58 :    
59 :     The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
60 :     freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
61 :     License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
62 :     software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
63 :     General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
64 :     Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
65 :     using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
66 :     the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
67 :     your programs, too.
68 :    
69 :     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
70 :     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
71 :     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
72 :     this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
73 :     if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
74 :     in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
75 :    
76 :     To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
77 :     anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
78 :     These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
79 :     distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
80 :    
81 :     For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
82 :     gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
83 :     you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
84 :     source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
85 :     rights.
86 :    
87 :     We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
88 :     (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
89 :     distribute and/or modify the software.
90 :    
91 :     Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
92 :     that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
93 :     software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
94 :     want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
95 :     that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
96 :     authors' reputations.
97 :    
98 :     Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
99 :     patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
100 :     program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
101 :     program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
102 :     patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
103 :    
104 :     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
105 :     modification follow.
106 :    
107 :     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
108 :     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
109 :    
110 :     0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
111 :     a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
112 :     under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
113 :     refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
114 :     means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
115 :     that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
116 :     either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
117 :     language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
118 :     the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
119 :    
120 :     Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
121 :     covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
122 :     running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
123 :     is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
124 :     Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
125 :     Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
126 :    
127 :     1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
128 :     source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
129 :     conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
130 :     copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
131 :     notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
132 :     and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
133 :     along with the Program.
134 :    
135 :     You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
136 :     you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
137 :    
138 :     2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
139 :     of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
140 :     distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
141 :     above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
142 :    
143 :     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
144 :     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
145 :    
146 :     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
147 :     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
148 :     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
149 :     parties under the terms of this License.
150 :    
151 :     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
152 :     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
153 :     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
154 :     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
155 :     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
156 :     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
157 :     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
158 :     License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
159 :     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
160 :     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
161 :    
162 :     These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
163 :     identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
164 :     and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
165 :     themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
166 :     sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
167 :     distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
168 :     on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
169 :     this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
170 :     entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
171 :    
172 :     Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
173 :     your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
174 :     exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
175 :     collective works based on the Program.
176 :    
177 :     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
178 :     with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
179 :     a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
180 :     the scope of this License.
181 :    
182 :     3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
183 :     under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
184 :     Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
185 :    
186 :     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
187 :     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
188 :     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
189 :    
190 :     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
191 :     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
192 :     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
193 :     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
194 :     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
195 :     customarily used for software interchange; or,
196 :    
197 :     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
198 :     to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
199 :     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
200 :     received the program in object code or executable form with such
201 :     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
202 :    
203 :     The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
204 :     making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
205 :     code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
206 :     associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
207 :     control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
208 :     special exception, the source code distributed need not include
209 :     anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
210 :     form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
211 :     operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
212 :     itself accompanies the executable.
213 :    
214 :     If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
215 :     access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
216 :     access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
217 :     distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
218 :     compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
219 :    
220 :     4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
221 :     except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
222 :     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
223 :     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
224 :     However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
225 :     this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
226 :     parties remain in full compliance.
227 :    
228 :     5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
229 :     signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
230 :     distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
231 :     prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
232 :     modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
233 :     Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
234 :     all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
235 :     the Program or works based on it.
236 :    
237 :     6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
238 :     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
239 :     original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
240 :     these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
241 :     restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
242 :     You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
243 :     this License.
244 :    
245 :     7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
246 :     infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
247 :     conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
248 :     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
249 :     excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
250 :     distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
251 :     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
252 :     may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
253 :     license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
254 :     all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
255 :     the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
256 :     refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
257 :    
258 :     If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
259 :     any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
260 :     apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
261 :     circumstances.
262 :    
263 :     It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
264 :     patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
265 :     such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
266 :     integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
267 :     implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
268 :     generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
269 :     through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
270 :     system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
271 :     to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
272 :     impose that choice.
273 :    
274 :     This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
275 :     be a consequence of the rest of this License.
276 :    
277 :     8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
278 :     certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
279 :     original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
280 :     may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
281 :     those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
282 :     countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
283 :     the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
284 :    
285 :     9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
286 :     of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
287 :     be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
288 :     address new problems or concerns.
289 :    
290 :     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
291 :     specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
292 :     later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
293 :     either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
294 :     Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
295 :     this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
296 :     Foundation.
297 :    
298 :     10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
299 :     programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
300 :     to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
301 :     Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
302 :     make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
303 :     of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
304 :     of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
305 :    
306 :     NO WARRANTY
307 :    
308 :     11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
309 :     FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
310 :     OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
311 :     PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
312 :     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
313 :     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
314 :     TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
315 :     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
316 :     REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
317 :    
318 :     12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
319 :     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
320 :     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
321 :     INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
322 :     OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
323 :     TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
324 :     YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
325 :     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
326 :     POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
327 :    
328 :     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
329 :    
330 :     How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
331 :    
332 :     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
333 :     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
334 :     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
335 :    
336 :     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
337 :     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
338 :     convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
339 :     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
340 :    
341 :     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
342 :     Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
343 :    
344 :     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
345 :     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
346 :     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
347 :     (at your option) any later version.
348 :    
349 :     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
350 :     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
351 :     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
352 :     GNU General Public License for more details.
353 :    
354 :     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
355 :     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
356 :     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
357 :    
358 :    
359 :     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
360 :    
361 :     If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
362 :     when it starts in an interactive mode:
363 :    
364 :     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
365 :     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
366 :     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
367 :     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
368 :    
369 :     The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
370 :     parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
371 :     be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
372 :     mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
373 :    
374 :     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
375 :     school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
376 :     necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
377 :    
378 :     Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
379 :     `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
380 :    
381 :     <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
382 :     Ty Coon, President of Vice
383 :    
384 :     This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
385 :     proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
386 :     consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
387 :     library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
388 :     Public License instead of this License.
