common-licenses: Additions and corrections
I've added more licenses from SPDX and corrected the gcc license
so that it is a. parsable and b. accurate to the SPDX standard.
I've also done some cleanup of license text and gdb's LICENSE
field.

This license may be particularly suitable if your +program is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but you may use it +even if your program is unrelated to TeX. The section `WHETHER AND HOW +TO DISTRIBUTE PROGRAMS UNDER THIS LICENSE`, below, gives instructions, +examples, and recommendations for authors who are considering +distributing their programs under this license. + +In this license document, `The Program` refers to any program +distributed under this license. + +This license gives conditions under which The Program may be distributed +and conditions under which modified versions of The Program may be +distributed. Individual files of The Program may bear supplementary +and/or superseding conditions on modification of themselves and on the +distribution of modified versions of themselves, but *no* file of The +Program may bear supplementary or superseding conditions on the +distribution of an unmodified copy of the file. A distributor wishing +to distribute a complete, unmodified copy of The Program therefore +needs to check the conditions only in this license and nowhere else. + +Activities other than distribution and/or modification of The Program +are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope. In +particular, the act of running The Program is not restricted. + +We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you +the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of The Program +that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while +maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of +The Program. If you do not see how to achieve your goal while +meeting these conditions, then read the document `cfgguide.tex` +in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions. + + +CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION +=========================================== + +You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of The Program. +Distribution of only part of The Program is not allowed. + +You may not modify in any way a file of The Program that bears a legal +notice forbidding modification of that file. + +You may distribute a modified file of The Program if, and only if, the +following eight conditions are met: + + 1. You must meet any additional conditions borne by the file on the + distribution of a modified version of the file as described below + in the subsection `Additional Conditions on Individual Files of + The Program`. + + 2. If the file is a LaTeX software file, then you must meet any + applicable additional conditions on the distribution of a modified + version of the file that are described below in the subsection + `Additional Conditions on LaTeX Software Files`. + + 3. You must not distribute the modified file with the filename of the + original file. + + 4. In the modified file, you must acknowledge the authorship and + name of the original file, and the name (if any) of the program + which contains it. + + 5. You must change any identification string in the file to indicate + clearly that the modified file is not part of The Program. + + 6. You must change any addresses in the modified file for the + reporting of errors in the file or in The Program generally to + ensure that reports for files no longer maintained by the original + maintainers will be directed to the maintainers of the modified + files. + + 7. You must distribute the modified file under a license that forbids + distribution both of the modified file and of any files derived + from the modified file with the filename of the original file. + + 8. You must do either (A) or (B): + + (A) distribute a copy of The Program (that is, a complete, + unmodified copy of The Program) together with the modified + file; if your distribution of the modified file is made by + offering access to copy the modified file from a designated + place, then offering equivalent access to copy The Program + from the same place meets this condition, even though third + parties are not compelled to copy The Program along with the + modified file; + + (B) provide to those who receive the modified file information + that is sufficient for them to obtain a copy of The Program; + for example, you may provide a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) + for a site that you expect will provide them with a copy of + The Program free of charge (either the version from which + your modification is derived, or perhaps a later version). + +Note that in the above, `distribution` of a file means making the +file available to others by any means. This includes, for instance, +installing the file on any machine in such a way that the file is +accessible by users other than yourself. `Modification` of a file +means any procedure that produces a derivative file under any +applicable law -- that is, a file containing the original file or +a significant portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications +and/or translated into another language. + +Changing the name of a file (other than as necessitated by the file +conventions of the target file systems) is considered to be a +modification of the file. + +The distribution conditions in this license do not have to be +applied to files that have been modified in accordance with the +above conditions. Note, however, that Condition 7. does apply to +any such modified file. + +The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do not +apply to, the updating, by any method, of a file so that it becomes +identical to the latest version of that file of The Program. + + + +A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution +----------------------------------------------------- + +It is wise never to modify a file of The Program, even for your own +personal use, without also meeting the above eight conditions for +distributing the modified file. While you might intend that such +modified files will never be distributed, often this will happen by +accident -- you may forget that you have modified the file; or it may +not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified file +that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions of +this license. It is usually in your best interest to keep your copy +of The Program identical with the public one. Many programs provide +ways to control the behavior of that program without altering its +licensed files. + + +Additional Conditions on Individual Files of The Program +-------------------------------------------------------- + +An individual file of The Program may bear additional conditions that +supplement and/or supersede the conditions in this license if, and only +if, such additional conditions exclusively concern modification of the +file or distribution of a modified version of the file. The conditions +on individual files of The Program therefore may differ only with +respect to the kind and extent of modification of those files that +is allowed, and with respect to the distribution of modified versions +of those files. + + +Additional Conditions on LaTeX Software Files +--------------------------------------------- + +If a file of The Program is intended to be used with LaTeX (that is, +if it is a LaTeX software file), then the following additional +conditions, which supplement and/or supersede the conditions +above, apply to the file according to its filename extension: + + - You may not modify any file with filename extension `.ins` since + these are installation files containing the legal notices that are + placed in the files they generate. + + - You may distribute modified versions of files with filename + extension `.fd` (LaTeX font definition files) under the standard + conditions of the LPPL as described above. You may also distribute + such modified LaTeX font definition files with their original names + provided that: + (1) the only changes to the original files either enable use of + available fonts or prevent attempts to access unavailable fonts; + (2) you also distribute the original, unmodified files (TeX input + paths can be used to control which set of LaTeX font definition + files is actually used by TeX). + + - You may distribute modified versions of files with filename + extension `.cfg` (configuration files) with their original names. + The Program may (and usually will) specify the range of commands + that are allowed in a particular configuration file. + +Because of portability and exchangeability issues in LaTeX software, +The LaTeX3 Project deprecates the distribution of modified versions of +components of LaTeX or of generally available contributed code for them, +but such distribution can meet the conditions of this license. + + +NO WARRANTY +=========== + +There is no warranty for The Program. Except when otherwise stated in +writing, The Copyright Holder provides The Program `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 Program prove defective, you +assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction. + +In no event unless agreed to in writing will The Copyright Holder, or +any author named in the files of The Program, or any other party who may +distribute and/or modify The Program as permitted above, be liable to +you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or +consequential damages arising out of any use of The Program or out of +inability to use The Program (including, but not limited to, loss of +data, data being rendered inaccurate, or losses sustained by anyone as +a result of any failure of The Program to operate with any other +programs), even if The Copyright Holder or said author or said other +party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. + + +WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE PROGRAMS UNDER THIS LICENSE +========================================================= + +This section contains important instructions, examples, and +recommendations for authors who are considering distributing their +programs under this license. These authors are addressed as `you` in +this section. + + +Choosing This License or Another License +---------------------------------------- + +If for any part of your program you want or need to use *distribution* +conditions that differ from those in this license, then do not refer to +this license anywhere in your program but instead distribute your +program under a different license. You may use the text of this license +as a model for your own license, but your license should not refer to +the LPPL or otherwise give the impression that your program is +distributed under the LPPL. + +The document `modguide.tex` in the base LaTeX distribution explains +the motivation behind the conditions of this license. It explains, +for example, why distributing LaTeX under the GNU General Public +License (GPL) was considered inappropriate. Even if your program is +unrelated to LaTeX, the discussion in `modguide.tex` may still be +relevant, and authors intending to distribute their programs under any +license are encouraged to read it. + + +How to Use This License +----------------------- + +To use this license, place in each of the files of your program both +an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year and also +a statement that the distribution and/or modification of the file is +constrained by the conditions in this license. + +Here is an example of such a notice and statement: + + %% pig.dtx + %% Copyright 2001 M. Y. Name + % + % This program may be distributed and/or modified under the + % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2 + % of this license or (at your option) any later version. + % The latest version of this license is in + % http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt + % and version 1.2 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX + % version 1999/12/01 or later. + % + % This program consists of the files pig.dtx and pig.ins + +Given such a notice and statement in a file, the conditions given in +this license document would apply, with `The Program` referring to the +two files `pig.dtx` and `pig.ins`, and `The Copyright Holder` referring +to the person `M. Y. Name`. + + +Important Recommendations +------------------------- + + Defining What Constitutes The Program + + The LPPL requires that distributions of The Program contain all the + files of The Program. It is therefore important that you provide a + way for the licensee to determine which files constitute The Program. + This could, for example, be achieved by explicitly listing all the + files of The Program near the copyright notice of each file or by + using a line like + + % This program consists of all files listed in manifest.txt. + + in that place. In the absence of an unequivocal list it might be + impossible for the licensee to determine what is considered by you + to comprise The Program. + + Noting Exceptional Files + + If The Program contains any files bearing additional conditions on + modification, or on distribution of modified versions, of those + files (other than those listed in `Additional Conditions on LaTeX + Software Files`), then it is recommended that The Program contain a + prominent file that defines the exceptional conditions, and either + lists the exceptional files or defines one or more categories of + exceptional files. + + Files containing the text of a license (such as this file) are + often examples of files bearing more restrictive conditions on + modification. LaTeX configuration files (with filename extension + `.cfg`) are examples of files bearing less restrictive conditions + on the distribution of a modified version of the file. The + additional conditions on LaTeX software given above are examples + of declaring a category of files bearing exceptional additional + conditions. + + + + |
