API conformance is +highly measurable and suppliers who claim it must be able to +substantiate that claim. + +As such, since these are benchmark measures of conformance, we feel +the integrity of test tools is of importance. In order to preserve the +integrity of the existing conformance modes of this test package and +to permit recipients of modified versions of this package to run the +original test modes, this license requires that the original test +modes be preserved. + +If you find a bug in one of the standards mode test cases, please let +us know so we can feed this back into the original, and also raise any +specification issues with the appropriate bodies (for example the +POSIX committees). + +Definitions: + + * "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the + Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files + created through textual modification. + + * "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 you changed that file, and provided that you do + at least the following: rename any non-standard executables and + testcases so the names do not conflict with standard executables and + testcases, which must also be provided, and provide a separate manual + page for each non-standard executable and testcase that clearly + documents how it differs from the Standard Version. + +4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or + executable form, provided that you do at least the following: + accompany any non-standard executables and testcases with their + corresponding Standard Version executables and testcases, giving the + non-standard executables and testcases non-standard names, and clearly + documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together + with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. + +5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of + this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this + Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, + you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly + commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) + software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package + as a product of your own. + +6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as + output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall + under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated + them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this + Package. + +7. Subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not + be considered part of this Package. + +8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or + promote products derived from this software without specific prior + written permission. + +9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED + WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF + MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. + +The End |
