3DFX FXT1 Source Code General Public License
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. PREAMBLE
|
|
|
|
This license is for software that provides texture compression and
|
|
decompression, particularly in the context of video games. The license
|
|
is intended to offer terms similar to some standard General Public
|
|
Licenses designed to foster open standards and unrestricted
|
|
accessibility to source code. Some of these licenses require that, as
|
|
a condition of the license of the software, any derivative works
|
|
(that is, new software which is a work containing the original program
|
|
or a portion of it) must be available for general use, without
|
|
restriction other than for a minor transfer fee, and that the source
|
|
code for such derivative works must likewise be made available. The
|
|
only restriction is that such derivative works must be subject to
|
|
the same General Public License terms as the original work.
|
|
|
|
This 3dfx FXT1 Source Code General Public License differs from the
|
|
standard licenses of this type in that it does not require the entire
|
|
derivative work to be made available under the terms of this license
|
|
nor is the recipient required to make available the source code for
|
|
the entire derivative work. Rather, the license is limited to only the
|
|
identifiable portion of the derivative work that is derived from the
|
|
licensed software. The precise terms and conditions for copying,
|
|
distribution and modification follow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. DEFINITIONS
|
|
|
|
2.1 This License applies to any program (or other "work") which
|
|
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
|
|
distributed under the terms of this 3dfx FXT1 Source Code General
|
|
Public License.
|
|
|
|
2.2 The term "Program" as used in this Agreement refers to 3DFX's
|
|
FXT1 source code and object code and any Derivative Work.
|
|
|
|
2.3 "Derivative Work" means, for the purpose of the License, that
|
|
portion of any work that contains the Program or the identifiable
|
|
portion of a work that is derived from the Program, either verbatim or
|
|
with modifications and/or translated into another language, and that
|
|
performs texture compression and decompression. It does not include
|
|
any other portions of a work.
|
|
|
|
2.4 "Modifications of the Program" means any work, which includes a
|
|
Derivative Work, and includes the whole of such work.
|
|
|
|
2.5 "License" means this 3dfx FXT1 Source Code General Public License.
|
|
|
|
2.6 The "Source Code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
|
for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
|
|
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, any
|
|
associated interface definition files, and the scripts used to control
|
|
compilation and installation of the executable work.
|
|
|
|
2.7 "3dfx" means 3dfx Interactive, Inc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. LICENSED ACTIVITIES
|
|
|
|
3.1 COPYING - You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
|
|
Program's Source Code as you receive it, in any medium, subject to the
|
|
provision of section 3.3 and provided also that:
|
|
|
|
(a) you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
|
|
an appropriate copyright notice (3dfx Interactive, Inc. 1999), a notice
|
|
that recipients who wish to copy, distribute or modify the Program can
|
|
only do so subject to this License, and a disclaimer of warranty as
|
|
set forth in section 5;
|
|
|
|
(b) keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
|
|
to the absence of any warranty; and
|
|
|
|
(c) give all recipients of the Program a copy of this License
|
|
along with the Program or instructions on how to easily receive a copy
|
|
of this License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2 MODIFICATION OF THE PROGRAM/DERIVATIVE WORKS - You may modify your
|
|
copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, and copy and
|
|
distribute such modifications subject to the provisions of section 3.3
|
|
and provided that you also meet all of the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
(a) you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
|
|
of a Derivative Work an appropriate copyright notice, a notice that
|
|
recipients who wish to copy, distribute or modify the Derivative Work
|
|
can only do so subject to this License, and a disclaimer of warranty
|
|
as set forth in section 5;
|
|
|
|
(b) keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
|
|
to the absence of any warranty; and
|
|
|
|
(c) give all recipients of the Derivative Work a copy of this
|
|
License along with the Derivative Work or instructions on how to easily
|
|
receive a copy of this License.
|
|
|
|
(d) You must cause the modified files of the Derivative Work
|
|
to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the
|
|
date of any change.
|
|
|
|
(e) You must cause any Derivative Work that you distribute or
|
|
publish to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the
|
|
terms of this License.
|
|
|
|
(f) If the Derivative Work normally reads commands
|
|
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for
|
|
such interactive use, to print or display an announcement as follows:
|
|
|
|
"COPYRIGHT 3DFX INTERACTIVE, INC. 1999, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THIS
|
|
SOFTWARE IS FREE AND PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
|
|
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SEE THE 3DFX FXT1 GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
FOR A FULL TEXT OF THE DISTRIBUTION AND NON-WARRANTY PROVISIONS
|
|
(REQUEST COPY FROM INFO@3DFX.COM)."
|
|
|
|
(g) The requirements of this section 3.2 do not apply to the
|
|
modified work as a whole but only to the Derivative Work. It is not
|
|
the intent of this License to claim rights or contest your rights to
|
|
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
|
|
right to control the distribution of Derivative Works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.3 DISTRIBUTION
|
|
|
|
(a) All copies of the Program or Derivative Works which are
|
|
distributed must include in the file headers the following language
|
|
verbatim:
|
|
|
|
"THIS SOFTWARE IS SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PROTECTION AND IS OFFERED
|
|
ONLY PURSUANT TO THE 3DFX FXT1 GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. A COPY OF THIS
|
|
LICENSE MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR OR BY CONTACTING 3DFX
|
|
INTERACTIVE INC (info@3dfx.com). THIS PROGRAM. IS PROVIDED "AS IS"
|
|
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SEE THE
|
|
3DFX FXT1 GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE FOR A FULL TEXT OF THE NON-WARRANTY
|
|
PROVISIONS.
|
|
|
|
USE, DUPLICATION OR DISCLOSURE BY THE GOVERNMENT IS SUBJECT TO
|
|
RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN SUBDIVISION (C)(1)(II) OF THE RIGHTS
|
|
IN TECHNICAL DATA AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE CLAUSE AT DFARS 252.227-7013,
|
|
AND/OR IN SIMILAR OR SUCCESSOR CLAUSES IN THE FAR, DOD OR NASA FAR
|
|
SUPPLEMENT. UNPUBLISHED RIGHTS RESERVED UNDER THE COPYRIGHT LAWS OF
|
|
THE UNITED STATES.
|
|
|
|
COPYRIGHT 3DFX INTERACTIVE, INC. 1999, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED"
|
|
|
|
(b) You may distribute the Program or a Derivative Work in
|
|
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 3.1 and 3.2
|
|
provided that you also do one of the following:
|
|
|
|
(1) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
|
|
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
|
|
terms of Sections 3.1 and 3.2; or,
|
|
|
|
(2) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at
|
|
least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than
|
|
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
|
|
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
|
|
distributed under the terms of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 on a medium
|
|
customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
|
|
|
(3) Accompany it with the information you received as
|
|
to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative
|
|
is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received
|
|
the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
|
|
accord with Subsection 3.3(b)(2) above.)
|
|
|
|
(c) The source code distributed need not include anything
|
|
that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with
|
|
the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
|
|
system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
|
|
accompanies the executable code.
|
|
|
|
(d) If distribution of executable code or object code is made
|
|
by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
|
|
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts
|
|
as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
|
|
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
|
|
|
(e) Each time you redistribute the Program or any Derivative
|
|
Work, the recipient automatically receives a license from 3dfx and
|
|
successor licensors to copy, distribute or modify the Program and
|
|
Derivative Works subject to the terms and conditions of the License.
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
|
|
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
|
|
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
|
|
|
|
(f) You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
|
|
Program or any Derivative Works except as expressly provided under
|
|
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
|
|
distribute the Program or any Derivative Works is void, and will
|
|
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
|
|
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
|
|
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
|
|
parties remain in full compliance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. MISCELLANEOUS
|
|
|
|
4.1 Acceptance of this License is voluntary. By using, modifying or
|
|
distributing the Program or any Derivative Work, you indicate your
|
|
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
|
|
for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on
|
|
it. Nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
|
|
Program or Derivative Works and doing so without acceptance of this
|
|
License is in violation of the U.S. and international copyright laws.
|
|
|
|
4.2 If the distribution and/or use of the Program or Derivative Works
|
|
is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
|
|
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under
|
|
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
|
|
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
|
|
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
|
|
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
|
|
|
|
4.3 This License is to be construed according to the laws of the
|
|
State of California and you consent to personal jurisdiction in the
|
|
State of California in the event it is necessary to enforce the
|
|
provisions of this License.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
5.2 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL 3DFX
|
|

|
|
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
|
|
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM OR DERIVATIVE WORKS (INCLUDING BUT NOT
|
|
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
|
|
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM OR
|
|
DERIVATIVE WORKS TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
|

|
|
DAMAGES.
