A Diplomacy™ Adjudicator
The Artistic License For Realpolitik
Preamble
The intent of this
document is to state the conditions under which
a Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains
some semblance of artistic control over the development of the
package, while giving the users of the package the right to use and
distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the
right to make reasonable modifications.
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 ONE of the following:
- a) place your modifications
in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site such
as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications
in the Standard Version of the Package. - b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
- c) rename any non-standard
executables so the names do not conflict with
standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
differs from the Standard Version. - d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
- a) distribute a Standard
Version of the executables and library files, together
with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard
Version. - b) accompany the distribution
with the machine-readable source of the Package
with your modifications. - c) accompany any non-standard
executables with their corresponding Standard
Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names,
and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent),
together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. - d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
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. C or perl 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.

In addition to the
above conditions, use, modification and distribution of this
Package is only permitted provided that you also own at least one copy
of any
of the following board games: Diplomacy™ , Deluxe Diplomacy™
, Colonial
Diplomacy™ or Machiavelli™.
