API conformance is +highly measurable and suppliers who claim it must be able to +substantiate that claim. + +As such, since these are benchmark measures of conformance, we feel +the integrity of test tools is of importance. In order to preserve +the integrity of the existing conformance modes of this test +package and to permit recipients of modified versions of this +package to run the original test modes, this license requires that +the original test modes be preserved. + +If you find a bug in one of the standards mode test cases, please +let us know so we can feed this back into the original, and also +raise any specification issues with the appropriate bodies (for +example the POSIX committees). + +Definitions: + +"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the +Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files +created through textual modification. +"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been +modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes +of the Copyright Holder. +"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or +copyrights for the package. "You" is you, if you're thinking +about copying or distributing this Package. +"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the +basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people +involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it +to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community +at large as a market that must bear the fee.) +"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item +itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the +item. It also means that recipients of the item may +redistribute it under the same conditions they received it. + +1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of +the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided +that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and +associated disclaimers. + +2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other +modifications derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright +Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still be considered +the Standard Version. + +3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, +provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file +stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you +do at least the following: + +rename any non-standard executables and testcases so the +names do not conflict with standard executables and +testcases, which must also be provided, and provide a +separate manual page for each non-standard executable and +testcase that clearly documents how it differs from the +Standard Version. + +4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code +or executable form, provided that you do at least the following: + +accompany any non-standard executables and testcases with +their corresponding Standard Version executables and +testcases, giving the non-standard executables and +testcases non-standard names, and clearly documenting the +differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together with +instructions on where to get the Standard Version. + +5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of +this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this +Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, +you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly +commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) +software distribution provided that you do not advertise this +Package as a product of your own. + +6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced +as output from the programs of this Package do not automatically +fall under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever +generated them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated +with this Package. + +7.Subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall +not be considered part of this Package. + +8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or +promote products derived from this software without specific prior +written permission. + +9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR +IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. + +The End + + + + + + |
