By contrast, our general public license is -intended to give everyone the right to share GNU Chess. To make -sure that you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make -restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you -to surrender the rights. Hence this license agreement. - - Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give -away copies of GNU Chess, that you receive source code or else can get it -if you want it, that you can change GNU Chess or use pieces of it in new -free programs, and that you know you can do these things. - - To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to -deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute -copies of GNU Chess, you must give the recipients all the rights that you -have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the -source code. And you must tell them their rights. - - Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone -finds out that there is no warranty for GNU Chess. If GNU Chess is -modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know -that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems -introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation. - - Therefore the Free Software Foundation, Inc. makes the following -terms which say what you must do to be allowed to distribute or change -GNU Chess. - - COPYING POLICIES - - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU Chess source -code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously -and appropriately publish on each file a valid copyright notice -"Copyright (C) 1986,1987 Free Software Foundation, Inc.", containing the -year of last change for the file in question; keep intact the notices -on all files that refer to this License Agreement and to the absence -of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the GNU Chess -program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program. - - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU Chess source code or -any portion of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under -the terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following: - - a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating - who last changed such files and the date of any change; and - - b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, - that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU Chess - or any part thereof, to be freely distributed - and licensed to all third parties on terms identical to those - contained in this License Agreement (except that you may choose - to grant more extensive warranty protection to third parties, - at your option). - - c) if the modified program serves as a text editor, cause it - when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print - an announcement including a valid copyright notice ("Copyright - (C)", the year of authorship, and all copyright owners' names), - saying that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide - a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under - these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of - this License Agreement. - - 3. You may copy and distribute GNU Chess or any portion of it in -compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs -1 and 2 above provided that you do the following: - - a) cause each such copy of GNU Chess to be accompanied by the - corresponding machine-readable source code; or - - b) cause each such copy of GNU Chess to be accompanied by a - written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party - free (except for a nominal shipping charge) machine readable - copy of the corresponding source code; or - - c) in the case of a recipient of GNU Chess in compiled, executable - or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you - shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy - of the written offer of source code which you received along - with the copy of GNU Chess. - - 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Chess -except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt -otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU Chess is void and -your rights to use GNU Chess under this License agreement shall be -automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer -software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have -their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - -Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our -software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc., -1000 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138, or call (617) 876-3296. - - NO WARRANTY - - BECAUSE GNU CHESS IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY -NO WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT -WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC, -AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU CHESS "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY -KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE -IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR -PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE -PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE GNU CHESS PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, -YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - - IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL FREE SOFTWARE -FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND -REDISTRIBUTE GNU CHESS AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR -DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER SPECIAL, -INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR -INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA -BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A -FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH PROGRAMS NOT DISTRIBUTED BY -FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC.)
