|
|
<p>Small supporting files, short manuals (under 300 lines long) and rough
|
||
|
|
documentation (<samp>README</samp> files, <samp>INSTALL</samp> files, etc.) can
|
||
|
|
use a simple all-permissive license like this one:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
|
||
|
|
are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
|
||
|
|
notice and this notice are preserved. This file is offered as-is,
|
||
|
|
without any warranty.
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Older versions of this license did not have the second sentence with
|
||
|
|
the express warranty disclaimer. There is no urgent need to update
|
||
|
|
existing files, but new files should use the new text.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If your package distributes Autoconf macros that are intended to be
|
||
|
|
used (hence distributed) by third-party packages under possibly
|
||
|
|
incompatible licenses, you may also use the above all-permissive
|
||
|
|
license for these macros.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>These kinds of files can also be put in the public domain. If
|
||
|
|
publishing in the US, it is enough to insert a notice saying so.
|
||
