Lesser General Public License For Linguistic Resources
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most data are designed to take away your freedom to share
|
|
and change it. By contrast, this License is intended to guarantee your freedom
|
|
to share and change free data--to make sure the data are free for all their
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
This License, the Lesser General Public License for Linguistic Resources,
|
|
applies to some specially designated linguistic resources -- typically lexicons
|
|
and grammars.
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
|
|
|
0. This License Agreement applies to any Linguistic Resource which contains
|
|
a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it
|
|
may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License for
|
|
Linguistic Resources (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed
|
|
as "you".
|
|
|
|
A "linguistic resource" means a collection of data about language prepared
|
|
so as to be used with application programs.
|
|
|
|
The "Linguistic Resource", below, refers to any such work which has been distributed
|
|
under these terms. A "work based on the Linguistic Resource" means either
|
|
the Linguistic Resource or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
|
|
to say, a work containing the Linguistic Resource or a portion of it, either
|
|
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another
|
|
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
|
|
term "modification".)
|
|
|
|
"Legible form" for a linguistic resource means the preferred form of the resource
|
|
for making modifications to it.
|
|
|
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
|
|
by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program
|
|
using the Linguistic Resource is not restricted, and output from such a program
|
|
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Linguistic
|
|
Resource (independent of the use of the Linguistic Resource in a tool for
|
|
writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the program that uses the
|
|
Linguistic Resource does.
|
|
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Linguistic Resource
|
|
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
|
|
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
|
|
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
|
|
of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Linguistic
|
|
Resource.
|
|
|
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
|
|
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
|
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Linguistic Resource or any portion
|
|
of it, thus forming a work based on the Linguistic Resource, and copy and
|
|
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above,
|
|
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) The modified work must itself be a linguistic resource.
|
|
|
|
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that
|
|
you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
|
|
|
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all
|
|
third parties under the terms of this License.
|
|
|
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
|
|
sections of that work are not derived from the Linguistic Resource, and can
|
|
be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
|
|
this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute
|
|
them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part
|
|
of a whole which is a work based on the Linguistic Resource, the distribution
|
|
of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
|
|
licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless
|
|
of who wrote it.
|
|
|
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
|
|
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise
|
|
the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based
|
|
on the Linguistic Resource.
|
|
|
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Linguistic
|
|
Resource with the Linguistic Resource (or with a work based on the Linguistic
|
|
Resource) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
|
|
other work under the scope of this License.
|
|
|
|
3. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Linguistic
|
|
Resource, but is designed to work with the Linguistic Resource (or an encrypted
|
|
form of the Linguistic Resource) by reading it or being compiled or linked
|
|
with it, is called a "work that uses the Linguistic Resource". Such a work,
|
|
in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Linguistic Resource, and therefore
|
|
falls outside the scope of this License.
|
|
|
|
However, combining a "work that uses the Linguistic Resource" with the Linguistic
|
|
Resource (or an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource) creates a package
|
|
that is a derivative of the Linguistic Resource (because it contains portions
|
|
of the Linguistic Resource), rather than a "work that uses the Linguistic
|
|
Resource". If the package is a derivative of the Linguistic Resource, you
|
|
may distribute the package under the terms of Section 4. Any works containing
|
|
that package also fall under Section 4.
|
|
|
|
4. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine a "work that
|
|
uses the Linguistic Resource" with the Linguistic Resource (or an encrypted
|
|
form of the Linguistic Resource) to produce a package containing portions
|
|
of the Linguistic Resource, and distribute that package under terms of your
|
|
choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the package for the
|
|
customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
|
|
|
|
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the package that the Linguistic
|
|
Resource is used in it and that the Linguistic Resource and its use are covered
|
|
by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the package during
|
|
execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice
|
|
for the Linguistic Resource among them, as well as a reference directing the
|
|
user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
|
|
|
|
a) Accompany the package with the complete corresponding machine-readable
|
|
legible form of the Linguistic Resource including whatever changes were used
|
|
in the package (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and,
|
|
if the package contains an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource, with
|
|
the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Linguistic Resource", as
|
|
object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Linguistic
|
|
Resource and then encrypt it to produce a modified package containing the
|
|
modified Linguistic Resource.
|
|
|
|
b) Use a suitable mechanism for combining with the Linguistic Resource. A
|
|
suitable mechanism is one that will operate properly with a modified version
|
|
of the Linguistic Resource, if the user installs one, as long as the modified
|
|
version is interface-compatible with the version that the package was made
|
|
with.
|
|
|
|
c) Accompany the package with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
|
|
to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 4a, above, for
|
|
a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
|
|
|
|
d) If distribution of the package is made by offering access to copy from
|
|
a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials
|
|
from the same place.
|
|
|
|
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or
|
|
that you have already sent this user a copy.
|
|
|
|
If the package includes an encrypted form of the Linguistic Resource, the
|
|
required form of the "work that uses the Linguistic Resource" must include
|
|
any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the package from it.
|
|
However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not
|
|
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
|
|
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
|
|
system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
|
|
the executable.
|
|
|
|
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of
|
|
proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system.
|
|
Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Linguistic Resource
|
|
together in a package that you distribute.
|
|
|
|
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Linguistic
|
|
Resource except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
|
|
to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Linguistic Resource
|
|
is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
|
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
|
|
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain
|
|
in full compliance.
|
|
|
|
6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
|
|
it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
|
|
Linguistic Resource or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited
|
|
by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing
|
|
the Linguistic Resource (or any work based on the Linguistic Resource), you
|
|
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
|
|
for copying, distributing or modifying the Linguistic Resource or works based
|
|
on it.
|
|
|
|
7. Each time you redistribute the Linguistic Resource (or any work based on
|
|
the Linguistic Resource), the recipient automatically receives a license from
|
|
the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Linguistic
|
|
Resource subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
|
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You
|
|
are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
|
|
|
|
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement
|
|
or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed
|
|
on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
|
|
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of
|
|
this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
|
|
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as
|
|
a consequence you may not distribute the Linguistic Resource at all. For example,
|
|
if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Linguistic
|
|
Resource by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you,
|
|
then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
|
|
entirely from distribution of the Linguistic Resource.
|
|
|
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
|
|
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
|
|
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
|
|
|
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents
|
|
or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims;
|
|
this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
|
|
resource distribution system which is implemented by public license practices.
|
|
Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of data distributed
|
|
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system;
|
|
it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
|
|
resources through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
|
|
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
|
|
consequence of the rest of this License.
|
|
|
|
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Linguistic Resource is restricted
|
|
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
|
|
copyright holder who places the Linguistic Resource under this License may
|
|
add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
|
|
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.
|
|
In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
|
|
body of this License.
|
|
|
|
10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
|
|
the Lesser General Public License for Linguistic Resources from time to time.
|
|
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
|
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Linguistic Resource
|
|
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
|
|
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either
|
|
of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
If the Linguistic Resource does not specify a license version number, you
|
|
may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Linguistic Resource into other
|
|
free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write
|
|
to the author to ask for permission.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY
|
|
|
|
12. BECAUSE THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|
WARRANTY FOR THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
|
|
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
|
|
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
|
|
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
|
|
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
|
|
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE
|
|
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
|
|
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
|
|
THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
|
|
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE (INCLUDING BUT
|
|
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
|
|
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LINGUISTIC RESOURCE TO OPERATE
|
|
WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED
|
|
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
