Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

12 | |||
13 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license | ||
14 | document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Preamble | ||
17 | |||
18 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to | ||
19 | share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended | ||
20 | to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure | ||
21 | the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies | ||
22 | to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program | ||
23 | whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation | ||
24 | software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You | ||
25 | can apply it to your programs, too. | ||
26 | |||
27 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our | ||
28 | General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom | ||
29 | to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you | ||
30 | wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you | ||
31 | can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that | ||
32 | you know you can do these things. | ||
33 | |||
34 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to | ||
35 | deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These | ||
36 | restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute | ||
37 | copies of the software, or if you modify it. | ||
38 | |||
39 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or | ||
40 | for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You | ||
41 | must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you | ||
42 | must show them these terms so they know their rights. | ||
43 | |||
44 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) | ||
45 | offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute | ||
46 | and/or modify the software. | ||
47 | |||
48 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that | ||
49 | everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If | ||
50 | the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its | ||
51 | recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any | ||
52 | problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' | ||
53 | reputations. | ||
54 | |||
55 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We | ||
56 | wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will | ||
57 | individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program | ||
58 | proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be | ||
59 | licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | ||
60 | |||
61 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification | ||
62 | follow. | ||
63 | |||
64 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
65 | |||
66 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice | ||
67 | placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the | ||
68 | terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any | ||
69 | such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the | ||
70 | Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a | ||
71 | work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with | ||
72 | modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, | ||
73 | translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) | ||
74 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". | ||
75 | |||
76 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
77 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running | ||
78 | the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered | ||
79 | only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent | ||
80 | of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends | ||
81 | on what the Program does. | ||
82 | |||
83 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code | ||
84 | as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | ||
85 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and | ||
86 | disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this | ||
87 | License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients | ||
88 | of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. | ||
89 | |||
90 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you | ||
91 | may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | ||
92 | |||
93 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, | ||
94 | thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such | ||
95 | modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that | ||
96 | you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
97 | |||
98 | * a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating | ||
99 | that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
100 | |||
101 | * b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | ||
102 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part | ||
103 | thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties | ||
104 | under the terms of this License. | ||
105 | |||
106 | * c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when | ||
107 | run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive | ||
108 | use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement | ||
109 | including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is | ||
110 | no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that | ||
111 | users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and | ||
112 | telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if | ||
113 | the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such | ||
114 | an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to | ||
115 | print an announcement.) | ||
116 | |||
117 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable | ||
118 | sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be | ||
119 | reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then | ||
120 | this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you | ||
121 | distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same | ||
122 | sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the | ||
123 | distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose | ||
124 | permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to | ||
125 | each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | ||
126 | |||
127 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | ||
128 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
129 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
130 | collective works based on the Program. | ||
131 | |||
132 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | ||
133 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a | ||
134 | storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the | ||
135 | scope of this License. | ||
136 | |||
137 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under | ||
138 | Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections | ||
139 | 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | ||
140 | |||
141 | * a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source | ||
142 | code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 | ||
143 | above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | ||
144 | |||
145 | * b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, | ||
146 | to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of | ||
147 | physically performing source distribution, a complete machine- | ||
148 | readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed | ||
149 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily | ||
150 | used for software interchange; or, | ||
151 | |||
152 | * c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to | ||
153 | distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed | ||
154 | only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the | ||
155 | program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in | ||
156 | accord with Subsection b above.) | ||
157 | |||
158 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
159 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code | ||
160 | means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | ||
161 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control | ||
162 | compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special | ||
163 | exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is | ||
164 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | ||
165 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which | ||
166 | the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the | ||
167 | executable. | ||
168 | |||
169 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access | ||
170 | to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy | ||
171 | the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source | ||
172 | code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source | ||
173 | along with the object code. | ||
174 | |||
175 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as | ||
176 | expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, | ||
177 | modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will | ||
178 | automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties | ||
179 | who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not | ||
180 | have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full | ||
181 | compliance. | ||
182 | |||
183 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed | ||
184 | it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute | ||
185 | the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law | ||
186 | if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or | ||
187 | distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you | ||
188 | indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and | ||
189 | conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works | ||
190 | based on it. | ||
191 | |||
192 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | ||
193 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
194 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | ||
195 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions | ||
196 | on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not | ||
197 | responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. | ||
198 | |||
199 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
200 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
201 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
202 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
203 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute | ||
204 | so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and | ||
205 | any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not | ||
206 | distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would | ||
207 | not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who | ||
208 | receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you | ||
209 | could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from | ||
210 | distribution of the Program. | ||
211 | |||
212 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any | ||
213 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply | ||
214 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | ||
215 | |||
216 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
217 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
218 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
219 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented | ||
220 | by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions | ||
221 | to the wide range of software distributed through that system in | ||
222 | reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the | ||
223 | author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software | ||
224 | through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. | ||
225 | |||
226 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be | ||
227 | a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
228 | |||
229 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain | ||
230 | countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original | ||
231 | copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an | ||
232 | explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, | ||
233 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | ||
234 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if | ||
235 | written in the body of this License. | ||
236 | |||
237 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | ||
238 | the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be | ||
239 | similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | ||
240 | address new problems or concerns. | ||
241 | |||
242 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | ||
243 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any | ||
244 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and | ||
245 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | ||
246 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version | ||
247 | number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the | ||
248 | Free Software Foundation. | ||
249 | |||
250 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs | ||
251 | whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask | ||
252 | for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software | ||
253 | Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make | ||
254 | exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of | ||
255 | preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | ||
256 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | ||
257 | |||
258 | NO WARRANTY | ||
259 | |||
260 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | ||
261 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | ||
262 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | ||
263 | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER | ||
264 | EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED | ||
265 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE | ||
266 | ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH | ||
267 | YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL | ||
268 | NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
269 | |||
270 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | ||
271 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | ||
272 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR | ||
273 | DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL | ||
274 | DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM | ||
275 | (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED | ||
276 | INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF | ||
277 | THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR | ||
278 | OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | ||
279 | |||
280 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
281 | |||
282 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | ||
283 | |||
284 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
285 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free | ||
286 | software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | ||
287 | |||
288 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to | ||
289 | attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the | ||
290 | exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" | ||
291 | line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
292 | |||
293 | one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does. | ||
294 | Copyright (C) yyyy name of author | ||
295 | |||
296 | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it | ||
297 | under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free | ||
298 | Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) | ||
299 | any later version. | ||
300 | |||
301 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT | ||
302 | ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or | ||
303 | FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for | ||
304 | more details. | ||
305 | |||
306 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with | ||
307 | this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 | ||
308 | Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. | ||
309 | |||
310 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
311 | |||
312 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when | ||
313 | it starts in an interactive mode: | ||
314 | |||
315 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes | ||
316 | with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free | ||
317 | software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; | ||
318 | type 'show c' for details. | ||
319 | |||
320 | The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate | ||
321 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be | ||
322 | called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be | ||
323 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. | ||
324 | |||
325 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | ||
326 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if | ||
327 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | ||
328 | |||
329 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program | ||
330 | 'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. | ||

334 | |||
335 | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into | ||
336 | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may | ||
337 | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the | ||
338 | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public | ||
339 | License instead of this License. | ||
