The words are different, but the goal is the same - +to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change software. If anyone +wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should interpret it as consistent +with GPL 2.0. +Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0 +The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes with any +rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to the SimPL by +copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the software. + +You get the royalty free right to: +Use the software for any purpose; +Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work"); +Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work. +If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to the +community by: +Prominently noting the date of any changes you make; +Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and license +terms in place; +Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and interface +definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to modify; +Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms (such as +GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights provided; +Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license. +There are some things that you must shoulder: +You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind; +If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct damages up +to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did not pay anything). You +may not recover any other damages, including those called "consequential +damages." (The state or country where you live may not allow you to limit +your liability in this way, so this may not apply to you); +The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end +automatically if: +You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your +licensees get to keep their rights if they abide); +Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms of the +SimPL. +License for the License +You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license form to +use in any way that you find helpful. To avoid confusion, however, if you +change the terms in any way then you may not call your license the Simple +Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to acknowledge that your license is +"based on the Simple Public License"). + + + + + + |
