11You may use "LPRng" or "IFHP" under either the terms of the GNU
12GPL License or the Artistic License. These licenses are included
13below.
14
15   These Licenses apply to the computer software packages known as
16"LPRng", "IFHP", and associated files.  The "Package" or "Program"
17below refers to the programs, files,  and associated software which
18are distributed as the package.
19
20   The "LPRng" Software Package is a copyrighted work whose copyright
21is held by Patrick Powell.
22
23   The "IFHP" Software Package is a copyrighted work whose copyright
24is held by Patrick Powell.
25
26   BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
27PROGRAM), YOU INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND ALL
28ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING THE
29PROGRAM OR WORKS BASED ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS
30YOU PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS DERIVATIVE
31WORKS. THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE
32TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM.

40
41                                                        Preamble
42
43The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which
44a Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains
45some semblance of artistic control over the development of the
46package, while giving the users of the package the right to use
47and distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion,
48plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
49
50Definitions:
51
52        "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by
53        the Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection
54        of files created through textual modification.
55
56        "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not
57        been modified, or has been modified in accordance with the
58        wishes of the Copyright Holder.
59
60        "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
61        copyrights for the package.
62
63        "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
64        this Package.
65
66        "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on
67        the basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
68        involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify
69        it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing
70        community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
71
72        "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the
73        item itself, though there may be fees involved in handling
74        the item. It also means that recipients of the item may
75        redistribute it under the same conditions they received
76        it.
77
781. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form
79of the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided
80that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and
81associated disclaimers.
82
832. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
84derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A
85Package modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard
86Version.
87
883. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
89provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
90stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you
91do at least ONE of the following:
92
93        a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise
94        make them Freely Available, such as by posting said
95        modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or placing
96        the modifications on a major archive site such as ftp.uu.net,
97        or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
98        modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
99
100        b) use the modified Package only within your corporation
101        or organization.
102
103        c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not
104        conflict with standard executables, which must also be
105        provided, and provide a separate manual page for each
106        non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
107        differs from the Standard Version.
108
109        d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
110        Holder.
111
1124. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code
113or executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the
114following:
115
116        a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and
117        library files, together with instructions (in the manual
118        page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.
119
120        b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable
121        source of the Package with your modifications.
122
123        c) accompany any non-standard executables with their
124        corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the
125        non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
126        documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent),
127        together with instructions on where to get the Standard
128        Version.
129
130        d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
131        Holder.
132
1335. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
134this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
135Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
136you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
137commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
138software distribution provided that you do not advertise this
139Package as a product of your own.
140
1416. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced
142as output from the programs of this Package do not automatically
143fall under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever
144generated them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated
145with this Package.
146
1477. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this
148Package shall not be considered part of this Package.
149
1508. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
151promote products derived from this software without specific prior
152written permission.
153
1549. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
155IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
156WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

163                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
164                       Version 2, June 1991
165
166 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
167                          675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
168 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
169 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
170
171                            Preamble
172
173  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
174freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
175License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
176software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
177General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
178Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
179using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
180the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
181your programs, too.
182
183  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
184price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
185have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
186this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
187if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
188in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
189
190  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
191anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
192These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
193distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
194
195  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
196gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
197you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
198source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
199rights.
200
201  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
202(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
203distribute and/or modify the software.
204
205  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
206that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
207software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
208want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
209that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
210authors' reputations.
211
212  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
213patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
214program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
215program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
216patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
217
218  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
219modification follow.
220
221                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
222   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
223
224  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
225a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
226under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
227refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
228means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
229that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
230either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
231language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
232the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
233
234Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
235covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
236running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
237is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
238Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
239Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
240
241  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
242source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
243conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
244copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
245notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
246and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
247along with the Program.
248
249You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
250you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
251
252  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
253of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
254distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
255above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
256
257    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
258    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
259
260    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
261    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
262    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
263    parties under the terms of this License.
264
265    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
266    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
267    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
268    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
269    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
270    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
271    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
272    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
273    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
274    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
275
276These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
277identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
278and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
279themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
280sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
281distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
282on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
283this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
284entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
285
286Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
287your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
288exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
289collective works based on the Program.
290
291In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
292with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
293a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
294the scope of this License.
295
296  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
297under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
298Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
299
300    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
301    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
302    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
303
304    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
305    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
306    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
307    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
308    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
309    customarily used for software interchange; or,
310
311    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
312    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
313    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
314    received the program in object code or executable form with such
315    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
316
317The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
318making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
319code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
320associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
321control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
322special exception, the source code distributed need not include
323anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
324form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
325operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
326itself accompanies the executable.
327
328If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
329access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
330access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
331distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
332compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
333
334  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
335except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
336otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
337void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
338However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
339this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
340parties remain in full compliance.
341
342  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
343signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
344distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
345prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
346modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
347Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
348all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
349the Program or works based on it.
350
351  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
352Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
353original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
354these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
355restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
356You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
357this License.
358
359  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
360infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
361conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
362otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
363excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
364distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
365License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
366may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
367license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
368all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
369the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
370refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
371
372If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
373any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
374apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
375circumstances.
376
377It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
378patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
379such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
380integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
381implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
382generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
383through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
384system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
385to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
386impose that choice.
387
388This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
389be a consequence of the rest of this License.
390
391  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
392certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
393original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
394may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
395those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
396countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
397the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
398
399  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
400of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
401be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
402address new problems or concerns.
403
404Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
405specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
406later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
407either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
408Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
409this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
410Foundation.
411
412  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
413programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
414to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
415Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
416make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
417of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
418of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
419
420                            NO WARRANTY
421
422  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
423FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
424OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
425PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
426OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
427MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
428TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
429PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
430REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
431
432  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
433WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
434REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
435INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
436OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
437TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
438YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
439PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
440POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
441
442                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
443
444        Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
445
446  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
447possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
448free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
449
450  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
451to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
452convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
453the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
454
455    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
456    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
457
458    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
459    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
460    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
461    (at your option) any later version.
462
463    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
464    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
465    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
466    GNU General Public License for more details.
467
468    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
469    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
470    Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
471
472Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
473
474If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
475when it starts in an interactive mode:
476
477    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
478    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
479    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
480    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
481
482The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
483parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
484be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
485mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
486
487You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
488school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
489necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
