Note: The Softpanorama site was created for educational
purposes only and can contain material the use of which has not always
been specifically authorized by the copyright owner. We are making
such material available in our efforts to advance understanding
of open source and software development as well as related social
justice issues. We believe this constitutes a 'fair use' of any
such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the
US Copyright Law. In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107,
the material on this site is distributed without profit to those
who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.shtml. If you wish
to use copyrighted material from this site for purposes of your
own that go beyond 'fair use', you must obtain permission from the
copyright owner.
- Your modifications of the copies should be governed by fair use
doctrine and you should respect the right of the authors included in
the collections which constitute Softpanorama content(SC). For content
belonging to Softpanorama the following conditions are applicable:
- You must cause the modified content to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed it, the exact nature and content
of the changes, and the date of any change.
- You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,
that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Softpanorama
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of the US Fair Use doctrine.
- These requirements apply to the modified work as a
whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from
the Softpanorama page(s), and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Softpanorama content, the distribution
of the whole must be on the terms of this License and/or Fair Use
Doctrine. Exceptions are made to this requirement to release
modified works for educational purposes only only in compliance
with Fair Use law where applicable.
- You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to copy, distribute
or modify the content of Softpanorama. These actions are prohibited
by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by distributing
or translating the SC, or by deriving works herefrom, you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or translating the Softpanorama content (SC).
- NO WARRANTY
-
BECAUSE THE SOFTPANORAMA IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE SC, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE SC "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 OF USE OF THE SC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE SC PROVE FAULTY, INACCURATE,
OR OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY REPAIR
OR CORRECTION.
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MIRROR AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE CONTENT OF SOFTPANORAMA AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
THE SC, EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
