You can also distribute - unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must - include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables - that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage - examples and Vim scripts. - -II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, - including executables and/or source code, when the following four - conditions are met: - 1) This license text must be included unmodified. - 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways: - a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in - the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you - (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you - must make your changes, including source code, available to the - maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to - include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the - maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they - will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation - then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes. - The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this - changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely - vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely - impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him - your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has - received your changes they will not have to be sent again. - b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as - mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it - unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the - text under a) applies to those changes. - c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of - the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a - context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you - add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from - making their own changes to the official version of Vim. - d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned - under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the - changes if the following three conditions are met: - - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute - the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and - permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official - version of Vim without fee or restriction. - - You keep the changes for at least three years after last - distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer - or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in - any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them - available to him. - - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This - contact information must remain valid for at least three years - after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long - as possible. - e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, - you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or - any later version. - 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" - command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim - is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned - under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does - not conflict with the license used for the changes. - 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be - removed or changed, except that the person himself can make - corrections. - -III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use - the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the - maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is - by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. - If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a - context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is - <maintainer@vim.org> - -IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim - sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this - license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came - with, at your option. - -=== -Read more about this license at http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/uganda.html#license |
