| 1 | +VIM LICENSE |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of |
| 4 | + fugitive.vim except that they must include this license text. You can |
| 5 | + also distribute unmodified parts of fugitive.vim, likewise unrestricted |
| 6 | + except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to |
| 7 | + include executables that you made from the unmodified fugitive.vim |
| 8 | + sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of |
| 11 | + fugitive.vim, including executables and/or source code, when the following |
| 12 | + four conditions are met: |
| 13 | + 1) This license text must be included unmodified. |
| 14 | + 2) The modified fugitive.vim must be distributed in one of the following |
| 15 | + five ways: |
| 16 | + a) If you make changes to fugitive.vim yourself, you must clearly |
| 17 | + describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the |
| 18 | + maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified |
| 19 | + fugitive.vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including |
| 20 | + source code, available to the maintainer without fee. The |
| 21 | + maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the |
| 22 | + official version of fugitive.vim. What the maintainer will do with |
| 23 | + your changes and under what license they will be distributed is |
| 24 | + negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or |
| 25 | + a later version, also applies to your changes. The current |
| 26 | + maintainer is Bram Moolenaar < [email protected]>. If this changes it |
| 27 | + will be announced in appropriate places (most likely vim.sf.net, |
| 28 | + www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely impossible |
| 29 | + to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him your changes |
| 30 | + ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has received your |
| 31 | + changes they will not have to be sent again. |
| 32 | + b) If you have received a modified fugitive.vim that was distributed as |
| 33 | + mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it |
| 34 | + unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the |
| 35 | + text under a) applies to those changes. |
| 36 | + c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of |
| 37 | + the modified fugitive.vim you distribute. This may be done in the |
| 38 | + form of a context diff. You can choose what license to use for new |
| 39 | + code you add. The changes and their license must not restrict |
| 40 | + others from making their own changes to the official version of |
| 41 | + fugitive.vim. |
| 42 | + d) When you have a modified fugitive.vim which includes changes as |
| 43 | + mentioned under c), you can distribute it without the source code |
| 44 | + for the changes if the following three conditions are met: |
| 45 | + - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute |
| 46 | + the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and |
| 47 | + permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official |
| 48 | + version of fugitive.vim without fee or restriction. |
| 49 | + - You keep the changes for at least three years after last |
| 50 | + distributing the corresponding modified fugitive.vim. When the |
| 51 | + maintainer or someone who you distributed the modified |
| 52 | + fugitive.vim to asks you (in any way) for the changes within this |
| 53 | + period, you must make them available to him. |
| 54 | + - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This |
| 55 | + contact information must remain valid for at least three years |
| 56 | + after last distributing the corresponding modified fugitive.vim, |
| 57 | + or as long as possible. |
| 58 | + e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, |
| 59 | + you can distribute the modified fugitive.vim under the GNU GPL |
| 60 | + version 2 or any later version. |
| 61 | + 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" |
| 62 | + command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified |
| 63 | + fugitive.vim is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as |
| 64 | + mentioned under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as |
| 65 | + this does not conflict with the license used for the changes. |
| 66 | + 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be |
| 67 | + removed or changed, except that the person himself can make |
| 68 | + corrections. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +III) If you distribute a modified version of fugitive.vim, you are encouraged |
| 71 | + to use the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the |
| 72 | + maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is |
| 73 | + by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. If |
| 74 | + the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a |
| 75 | + context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the |
| 79 | + fugitive.vim sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may |
| 80 | + use this license for previous fugitive.vim releases instead of the |
| 81 | + license that they came with, at your option. |
