| 12 | The above is the shortest license I have found. |
---|
| 13 | I have copied this wording from one of the source files of the Boost library. |
---|
| 14 | |
---|
| 15 | Just to explain the above terms: |
---|
| 16 | |
---|
| 17 | 1. The library is free (like in "freedom"). |
---|
| 18 | |
---|
| 19 | 2. You can use it for any purpose you wish. You can even sell it. |
---|
| 20 | |
---|
| 21 | 3. You can modify the source files. If you do this, please feel free to add |
---|
| 22 | your own copyright notices wherever you want, if you want. |
---|
| 23 | You may also add more restrictive license terms. |
---|
| 24 | You only have to keep the above notice unchanged in all source files. |
---|
| 25 | |
---|
| 26 | 4. You can combine this library or its modified version with other software. |
---|
| 27 | The license claims nothing that would affect the resulting work. |
---|
| 28 | See point 3. if you need to make any modifications. |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
| 30 | 5. You can compile this library or its modified version to the binary form. |
---|
| 31 | The license does not affect the compiled result in any way. |
---|
| 32 | In particular, you do not need to (but you still can) display the above |
---|
| 33 | copyright notice to the final user, and you do not need to (but you still |
---|
| 34 | can) inform the final user that your product was prepared with the help |
---|
| 35 | of this library. |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | 6. Do not sue me for my (and your) mistakes and errors. |
---|
| 38 | |
---|
| 39 | As you see, this license is very permissive. |
