Hugo is released under the Simple Public License.
|
|
|
|
## Simple Public License (SimPL-2.0)
|
|
|
|
### Preamble
|
|
|
|
This Simple Public License 2.0 (SimPL-2.0 for short) is a plain language
|
|
implementation of GPL 2.0. The words are different, but the goal is the
|
|
same - to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change
|
|
software. If anyone wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should
|
|
interpret it as consistent with GPL 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0
|
|
|
|
The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes
|
|
with any rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to
|
|
the SimPL by copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the
|
|
software.
|
|
|
|
You get the royalty free right to:
|
|
|
|
- Use the software for any purpose;
|
|
- Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work");
|
|
- Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work.
|
|
|
|
If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to
|
|
the community by:
|
|
|
|
- Prominently noting the date of any changes you make;
|
|
- Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and
|
|
license terms in place;
|
|
- Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and
|
|
interface definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to
|
|
modify;
|
|
- Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms
|
|
(such as GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights
|
|
provided;
|
|
- Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license.
|
|
|
|
There are some things that you must shoulder:
|
|
|
|
- You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind;
|
|
- If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct
|
|
damages up to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did
|
|
not pay anything). You may not recover any other damages, including
|
|
those called "consequential damages." (The state or country where
|
|
you live may not allow you to limit your liability in this way, so
|
|
this may not apply to you);
|
|
|
|
The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end
|
|
automatically if:
|
|
|
|
- You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your
|
|
licensees get to keep their rights if they abide);
|
|
- Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms
|
|
of the SimPL.
|
|
|
|
## License for the License
|
|
|
|
You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license
|
|
form to use in any way that you find helpful. To avoid confusion,
|
|
however, if you change the terms in any way then you may not call your
|
|
license the Simple Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to
|
|
acknowledge that your license is "based on the Simple Public License").
