Open Source Community License
Type C, Version 1.0
(c) Jeffrey Phillips Freeman, 2004



A. DEFINITIONS

	For the purpose of this license we will set forth certain definitions 
for the ease of communications:

"you" - Any person granted use of source code under this license by the 
inclusion of this license in the source by the author and copyright holder.

"program" - The Source code this license is bundled as well as any executables 
and derivative work under copyright law. Any program this license is assigned 
to, and means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law. 
Meaning any work containing the program or a portion of it, modified or 
verbatim, and/or translated into other languages.

"Authors' Recursive License" - A special license granted to certain 
contributors of the program. See section F below.

"this license" - The Open Source Public License - Type C Version 1.0 or any 
later version at your option, as published by Jeffrey Phillips Freeman. All 
future versions will be in the same spirit but will correct any legal 
oversights addressed by earlier versions.

"source code" - The preferred form of the program for making modifications to 
it that make up the program in part or in whole. For executables this means the 
source code, plus any modules that are needed to compile it, including scripts 
that control its compiling. This need not include components not normally 
needed for compiling such as operating system libraries, or the kernel.

"distribute" - The act of distributing, publishing, or otherwise making the 
program available to one or more persons, in whole or in part.

"entity" - Any one of the of the following: person, group of persons, company 
or entity under law.



B. SCOPE

This license addresses copying, distribution, execution and modification of the 
source code. Everything else is outside the scope of this license and no rights 
are granted either written or implied outside it's scope.

You may not copy, distribute, execute, or sub-license except under the terms 
and conditions of this license. Any attempt to do so outside of this license is 
void and will immediately and automatically terminate any rights you have under 
this license. This license is guaranteed not to be terminated so long as you 
follow the rules and conditions of this license.

You are not required to accept this license since you have not signed it. 
However if you do not accept this license then all privileges and rights 
granted herein is void. Unless specifically granted through another legal 
license you shall not have the right to copy, distribute, execute or 
sub-license this program in part or in whole.

If for any reason you are not able to follow the conditions of this license 
including, but not limited to, court order, agreement, or law, then you are not 
excused from the conditions of this license. If for any reason you cannot 
follow the terms and conditions of this license then you are not given the 
privileges associated with them. For example, if you cannot provide the source 
code to accompany the executable you cannot distribute the program.



C. EXECUTION

This License does not restrict execution of the program, including any uses of 
it's output so long as the terms and conditions of this license are upheld. The 
right to execution is immediately revoked for any program under this license 
found in violation of the terms.



D. DISTRIBUTION

You may copy and distribute the program according to the terms of this license 
so long as you perform at least one of the following:

1. Offer the source code to be distributed through the same medium by which 
the program is distributed at no additional cost except for the cost of 
offering and distributing the source code.

2. Provide the program with a written offer for physical distribution good for 
at least one year or until the distributing entity no longer exists, whichever 
comes first.

3. Provide the program bundled with the source code. If the program is offered 
without the bundled source code then the source code must still be made 
available through one of the two options above.



E. LICENSE PROPOGATION

You may copy and distribute the program verbatim, according to the terms and 
conditions of this license, so long as all copyright and warranty disclaimers 
remain unchanged and all references to this license remain. All copies of the 
source code and its individual pages must appropriately and in plan sight 
contain a notice of this license. The program must be distributed with a copy 
of this license and all notices should point to the included copy.

Propagation of this license, and the authors' recursive license below is not 
effected by mere aggregation of the program with other work on the same storage 
medium. The propagation of these licenses only applies to work which were done 
due to knowledge of the source code or output or were intended at some point in 
its design to interact primarily with the program. This includes, but is not 
limited to, libraries designed for the program, source code that is compiled 
using the source code or portions of it, or programs designed specifically to 
interact with this program closely invoking its execution with arguments or 
inputs.

Any time you distribute the program the recipient is automatically granted this 
license from the original licensor. You may not impose any greater restrictions 
to the recipient and it is not your responsibility to enforce this compliance 
of this license by its recipients.

You may copy and distribute, according to the terms and conditions of this 
license, any modified version of the program or portion of it, creating a 
derivative work, as long as all of the following conditions are met:

1. You must record what files you have changed and when they were changed and 
include that record in the source code. Any files part of the source code which 
were changed must have clear and obvious notices of what was changed. You can 
record your changes in a external file included with the source code so long as 
the files which were changed contain a clear and obvious notice pointing to the 
external file.

2. You must allow any code you distribute that is derived form the program or 
contains the program, in whole or in part, to be governed under this license.

3. You must grant an Author's Recursive License, as described in the section 
Authors' Recursive License to any copyright holder of any source code used in 
the program that your modifications interact with. You also grant the same 
Authors' Recursive License to anyone that copyright holder had to issue an 
Authors' Recursive License to in order to publish modifications. Interactions 
are included, but not limited to, calling of functions, calling or using parts 
of a class, using variables provided by the interface, and any similar 
interaction.

4. If any notices are displayed in the output of the program making a notice of 
warranty or license they must remain in tact. If the nature of the program is 
changed such that the output containing any such notices are no longer used an 
equivalent notice must be placed elsewhere in the output in plain sight. The 
only exception to this is if the program will no longer have any output at all, 
or the output it produces is inappropriate to contain such a notice.



F. AUTHORS' RECURSIVE LICENSE
