P2pnsLicense
v1 v1 1 = P2PNS License = 2 3 4 5 P2PNS is licensed under the GPL license. Please mind the [http://www.omnetpp.org/ OMNeT++ simulation environment] is licensed under the [http://www.omnetpp.org/external/license.php Academic Public License]. 6 7 8 9 {{{ 10 11 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 12 13 Version 2, June 1991 14 15 16 17 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 18 19 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA 20 21 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 22 23 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 24 25 26 27 Preamble 28 29 30 31 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your 32 33 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public 34 35 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 36 37 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This 38 39 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 40 41 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 42 43 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 44 45 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 46 47 your programs, too. 48 49 50 51 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 52 53 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 54 55 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 56 57 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 58 59 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 60 61 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 62 63 64 65 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 66 67 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 68 69 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 70 71 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 72 73 74 75 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 76 77 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 78 79 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 80 81 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their 82 83 rights. 84 85 86 87 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 88 89 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 90 91 distribute and/or modify the software. 92 93 94 95 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 96 97 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 98 99 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 100 101 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 102 103 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 104 105 authors' reputations. 106 107 108 109 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 110 111 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 112 113 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 114 115 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 116 117 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 118 119 120 121 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 122 123 modification follow. 124 125 126 127 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 128 129 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 130 131 132 133 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 134 135 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 136 137 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 138 139 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 140 141 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 142 143 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 144 145 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 146 147 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 148 149 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 150 151 152 153 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 154 155 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 156 157 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 158 159 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 160 161 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 162 163 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 164 165 166 167 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 168 169 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 170 171 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 172 173 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 174 175 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 176 177 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 178 179 along with the Program. 180 181 182 183 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 184 185 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 186 187 188 189 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 190 191 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 192 193 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 194 195 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 196 197 198 199 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 200 201 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 202 203 204 205 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 206 207 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 208 209 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 210 211 parties under the terms of this License. 212 213 214 215 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 216 217 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 218 219 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 220 221 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 222 223 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 224 225 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 226 227 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 228 229 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 230 231 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 232 233 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 234 235 236 237 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 238 239 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 240 241 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 242 243 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 244 245 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 246 247 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 248 249 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 250 251 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 252 253 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 254 255 256 257 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 258 259 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 260 261 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 262 263 collective works based on the Program. 264 265 266 267 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 268 269 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 270 271 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 272 273 the scope of this License. 274 275 276 277 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 278 279 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 280 281 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 282 283 284 285 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 286 287 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 288 289 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 290 291 292 293 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 294 295 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 296 297 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 298 299 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 300 301 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 302 303 customarily used for software interchange; or, 304 305 306 307 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 308 309 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 310 311 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 312 313 received the program in object code or executable form with such 314 315 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 316 317 318 319 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 320 321 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 322 323 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 324 325 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 326 327 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 328 329 special exception, the source code distributed need not include 330 331 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 332 333 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 334 335 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 336 337 itself accompanies the executable. 338 339 340 341 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 342 343 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 344 345 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 346 347 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 348 349 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 350 351 352 353 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 354 355 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 356 357 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 358 359 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 360 361 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 362 363 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 364 365 parties remain in full compliance. 366 367 368 369 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 370 371 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 372 373 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 374 375 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 376 377 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 378 379 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 380 381 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 382 383 the Program or works based on it. 384 385 386 387 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 388 389 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 390 391 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 392 393 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 394 395 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 396 397 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 398 399 this License. 400 401 402 403 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 404 405 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 406 407 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 408 409 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 410 411 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 412 413 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 414 415 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 416 417 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 418 419 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 420 421 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 422 423 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 424 425 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 426 427 428 429 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 430 431 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 432 433 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 434 435 circumstances. 436 437 438 439 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 440 441 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 442 443 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 444 445 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 446 447 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 448 449 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 450 451 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 452 453 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 454 455 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 456 457 impose that choice. 458 459 460 461 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 462 463 be a consequence of the rest of this License. 464 465 466 467 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 468 469 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 470 471 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 472 473 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 474 475 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 476 477 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates 478 479 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 480 481 482 483 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 484 485 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 486 487 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 488 489 address new problems or concerns. 490 491 492 493 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 494 495 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 496 497 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 498 499 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 500 501 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 502 503 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 504 505 Foundation. 506 507 508 509 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 510 511 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 512 513 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 514 515 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 516 517 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 518 519 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 520 521 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 522 523 524 525 NO WARRANTY 526 527 528 529 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 530 531 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 532 533 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 534 535 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 536 537 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 538 539 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 540 541 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 542 543 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 544 545 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 546 547 548 549 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 550 551 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 552 553 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 554 555 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 556 557 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 558 559 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 560 561 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 562 563 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 564 565 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 566 567 568 569 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 570 571 }}}
