  1. Preamble
  2. --------
  3. This game is based off Minetest Game, with many additional mods from the
  4. Minetest community, and many entirely custom mods by GoldFireUn. Nearly all mods
  5. in this game have been MODIFIED from their originals, in some cases heavily or
  6. almost totally.
  7. This license file is designed to cover the various parts of this game. Due to
  8. its nature in being sourced from multiple authors, different parts have
  9. different licenses. This concatenated license attempts to unify the differing
  10. licenses AS MUCH AS IS ALLOWED by the individual licenses, which are located in
  11. most cases in the mod sub-directories.
  12. The licensing goal of this project is to be as permissive as possible. Ideally,
  13. attribution should be enough if code from this project is used elsewhere.
  14. Certain licenses cannot be used here, and I cannot accept any contributions or
  15. mods for inclusion that disregard the goal: such licenses (for example) include
  16. the GPL (all versions) and especially the AGPL. The main issue with these
  17. licenses is that they are "viral" and as such cannot coexist peacefully with
  18. software written by authors who may have different and varied ideas of what user
  19. and software freedom imply. It should be possible for others to extract the bits
  20. of the code that they find useful for use in their own projects, without forcing
  21. them to use a viral license.
  22. Rules For Determining Licensing
  23. -------------------------------
  24. For mods without a specific license file, which were fully authored by
  25. GoldFireUn: the MIT license and the CC BY-SA 3.0 are applied to source code and
  26. media, respectively.
  27. For mods with a license file, not authored by GoldFireUn: The MIT and
  28. CC BY-SA 3.0 license overrides the original *IF* the original license permits
  29. it; if not, then the MIT and CC BY-SA 3.0 apply to the maximum extent possible,
  30. including EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY. All modifications to such mods will belong
  31. under the license the mod originally had, at the time the mod was forked and
  32. combined into this game. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY IS ALWAYS INCLUDED, and overrides
  33. any other warranties! (Of which there shouldn't be, anyway.)
  34. For mods with a license file, authored by GoldFireUn: the mods' individual
  35. license applies (it may be different from the licenses stated here).
  36. For mods without a specific license, NOT authored by GoldFireUn: in such a case,
  37. the license is most likely located elsewhere, probably on the Minetest forums.
  38. This may be the case for some mods; if I happen to discover that a mod has a
  39. missing license file, I will try and include the license directly.
  40. (For example, the original 'xban2' mod has no license file. However, the forum
  41. page dedicated to that mod specifies the BSD 2 Clause License.)
  42. In any instance where a mod is missing its license file, but a license for it
  43. can be found elsewhere that dates to the time the mod was forked and included in
  44. this game, then the license that was found elsewhere applies, and it is as if
  45. the license were included with the mod. See previous paragraphs.
  46. TLDR
  47. ----
  48. This preamble is not lawyer-speak. Basically, you agree not to sue me. This is a
  49. game for the Minetest engine, and nothing more.

  120. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  121. Version 2.1, February 1999
  122. Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  123. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
  124. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  125. of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  126. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
  127. as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
  128. the version number 2.1.]
  129. Preamble
  130. The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
  131. freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
  132. Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
  133. free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
  134. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
  135. specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
  136. Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
  137. can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
  138. this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
  139. strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
  140. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
  141. not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
  142. you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
  143. for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
  144. it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
  145. it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
  146. these things.
  147. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
  148. distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
  149. rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
  150. you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
  151. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
  152. or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
  153. you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
  154. code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
  155. complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
  156. with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
  157. it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
  158. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
  159. library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
  160. permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
  161. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
  162. there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
  163. modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
  164. that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
  165. author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
  166. introduced by others.
  167. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
  168. any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
  169. effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
  170. restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
  171. any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
  172. consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
  173. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
  174. ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
  175. General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
  176. is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
  177. this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
  178. libraries into non-free programs.
  179. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
  180. a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
  181. combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
  182. General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
  183. entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
  184. Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
  185. the library.
  186. We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
  187. does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
  188. Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
  189. of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
  190. are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
  191. libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
  192. special circumstances.
  193. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
  194. encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
  195. a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
  196. allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
  197. library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
  198. case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
  199. software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
  200. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
  201. programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
  202. free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
  203. non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
  204. operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
  205. system.
  206. Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
  207. users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
  208. linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
  209. that program using a modified version of the Library.
  210. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  211. modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
  212. "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
  213. former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
  214. be combined with the library in order to run.
  215. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  216. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
  217. 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
  218. program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
  219. other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
  220. this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
  221. Each licensee is addressed as "you".
  222. A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
  223. prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
  224. (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
  225. The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
  226. which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
  227. Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
  228. copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
  229. portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
  230. straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
  231. included without limitation in the term "modification".)
  232. "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  233. making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
  234. all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
  235. interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
  236. and installation of the library.
  237. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  238. covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
  239. running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
  240. such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
  241. on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
  242. writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
  243. and what the program that uses the Library does.
  244. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
  245. complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
  246. you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
  247. appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
  248. all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
  249. warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
  250. Library.
  251. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
  252. and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
  253. fee.
  254. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
  255. of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
  256. distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  257. above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  258. a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
  259. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
  260. stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  261. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
  262. charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
  263. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
  264. table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
  265. the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
  266. is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
  267. in the event an application does not supply such function or
  268. table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
  269. its purpose remains meaningful.
  270. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
  271. a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
  272. application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
  273. application-supplied function or table used by this function must
  274. be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
  275. root function must still compute square roots.)
  276. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  277. identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
  278. and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  279. themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  280. sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
  281. distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  282. on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  283. this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  284. entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
  285. it.
  286. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  287. your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  288. exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  289. collective works based on the Library.
  290. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
  291. with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
  292. a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  293. the scope of this License.
  294. 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
  295. License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
  296. this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
  297. that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
  298. instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
  299. ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
  300. that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
  301. these notices.
  302. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
  303. that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
  304. subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
  305. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
  306. the Library into a program that is not a library.
  307. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
  308. derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
  309. under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
  310. it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
  311. must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
  312. medium customarily used for software interchange.
  313. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
  314. from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
  315. source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
  316. distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
  317. compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
  318. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
  319. Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
  320. linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
  321. work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
  322. therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
  323. However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
  324. creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
  325. contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
  326. library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
  327. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
  328. When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
  329. that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
  330. derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
  331. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
  332. linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
  333. threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
  334. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
  335. structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
  336. functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
  337. file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
  338. work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
  339. Library will still fall under Section 6.)
  340. Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
  341. distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
  342. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
  343. whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
  344. 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
  345. link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
  346. work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
  347. under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
  348. modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
  349. engineering for debugging such modifications.
  350. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
  351. Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
  352. this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
  353. during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
  354. copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
  355. directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
  356. of these things:
  357. a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
  358. machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
  359. changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
  360. Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
  361. with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
  362. uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
  363. user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
  364. executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
  365. that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
  366. Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
  367. to use the modified definitions.)
  368. b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
  369. Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
  370. copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
  371. rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
  372. will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
  373. the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
  374. interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
  375. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
  376. least three years, to give the same user the materials
  377. specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
  378. than the cost of performing this distribution.
  379. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
  380. from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
  381. specified materials from the same place.
  382. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
  383. materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
  384. For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
  385. Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
  386. reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
  387. the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
  388. normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
  389. components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
  390. which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
  391. the executable.
  392. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
  393. restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
  394. accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
  395. use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
  396. distribute.
  397. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
  398. Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
  399. facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
  400. library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
  401. the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
  402. permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
  403. a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
  404. based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
  405. facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
  406. Sections above.
  407. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
  408. that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
  409. where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
  410. 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
  411. the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
  412. attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
  413. distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
  414. rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
  415. or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
  416. terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
  417. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  418. signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  419. distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
  420. prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
  421. modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
  422. Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
  423. all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
  424. the Library or works based on it.
  425. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
  426. Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  427. original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
  428. subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
  429. restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
  430. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
  431. this License.
  432. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  433. infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  434. conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  435. otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  436. excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
  437. distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
  438. License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
  439. may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
  440. license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
  441. all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
  442. the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
  443. refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
  444. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
  445. particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
  446. and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
  447. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
  448. patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
  449. such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
  450. integrity of the free software distribution system which is
  451. implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
  452. generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
  453. through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
  454. system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
  455. to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
  456. impose that choice.
  457. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
  458. be a consequence of the rest of this License.
  459. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
  460. certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
  461. original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
  462. an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
  463. so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
  464. excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
  465. written in the body of this License.
  466. 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
  467. versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
  468. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
  469. but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
  470. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
  471. specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
  472. "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
  473. conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
  474. the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
  475. license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
  476. the Free Software Foundation.
  477. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
  478. programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
  479. write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
  480. copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
  481. Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
  482. decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
  483. of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
  484. and reuse of software generally.
  485. NO WARRANTY
  486. 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
  487. WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
  488. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
  489. OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
  490. KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
  491. IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
  492. PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
  493. LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
  494. THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  495. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
  496. WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
  497. AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
  498. FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
  499. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
  500. LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
  501. RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
  502. FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
  503. SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
  504. DAMAGES.
  505. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
  506. How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
  507. If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
  508. possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
  509. everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
  510. redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
  511. ordinary General Public License).
  512. To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
  513. safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
  514. convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
  515. "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
  516. <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
  517. Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
  518. This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  519. modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
  520. License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
  521. version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
  522. This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  523. but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  524. MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
  525. Lesser General Public License for more details.
  526. You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
  527. License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
  528. Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston,
  529. MA 02110-1301 USA
  530. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
  531. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
  532. school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
  533. necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
  534. Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
  535. library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
  536. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1990
  537. Ty Coon, President of Vice
  538. That's all there is to it!
