Licence

From Java.Inquisition

Jump to: navigation, search

Inquisition is free software. Hooray! More specifically, I've released it into the public domain. In effect, this is like a perfectly free, non-copyleft licence. For example, you may:

  • redistribute the work;
  • create and distribute a derivative work;
  • translate the work and distribute the translation;
  • combine the work with other works and distribute the result;
  • aggregate the work in a distribution with other works;
  • whatever you like.

I'd request (but only request) that you give credit for this work if you reuse it, and that you offer any derivative works to other people in the same spirit as this work was offered to you: with as few conditions as possible and access to the source code. (Of course, these above requests cannot be enforced legally; they are not requirements. It is essentially an ethical decision, and you will have to decide for yourself!)

[edit] In case

In case the above is not legally possible in some jurisdiction, I irrevocably release all rights to it, allowing it to be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, used, modified, built upon, or otherwise exploited in any way by anyone for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, with or without attribution of the author, as if in the public domain.

[edit] Libraries

Java.Inquisition uses JDOM and Squareness as libraries. JDOM is available under an Apache-style license with the acknowledgement clause removed[1]. Squareness is available under the Academic Free License 3.0[2].
