  1. The Open Group Test Suite License Preamble
  2. The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
  3. may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
  4. artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users
  5. of the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
  6. customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
  7. Testing is essential for proper development and maintenance of standards-based
  8. products.
  9. For buyers: adequate conformance testing leads to reduced integration costs
  10. and protection of investments in applications, software and people.
  11. For software developers: conformance testing of platforms and middleware greatly
  12. reduces the cost of developing and maintaining multi-platform application
  13. software.
  14. For suppliers: In-depth testing increases customer satisfaction and keeps
  15. development and support costs in check. API conformance is highly measurable
  16. and suppliers who claim it must be able to substantiate that claim.
  17. As such, since these are benchmark measures of conformance, we feel the integrity
  18. of test tools is of importance. In order to preserve the integrity of the
  19. existing conformance modes of this test package and to permit recipients of
  20. modified versions of this package to run the original test modes, this license
  21. requires that the original test modes be preserved.
  22. If you find a bug in one of the standards mode test cases, please let us know
  23. so we can feed this back into the original, and also raise any specification
  24. issues with the appropriate bodies (for example the POSIX committees).
  25. Definitions:
  26. "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder,
  27. and derivatives of that collection of files created through textual modification.
  28. "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified, or
  29. has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright Holder.
  30. "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
  31. the package.
  32. "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
  33. "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
  34. cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will not
  35. be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing
  36. community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
  37. "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
  38. there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that recipients
  39. of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.
  40. 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the Standard
  41. Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you duplicate all
  42. of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
  43. 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
  44. from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in
  45. such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
  46. 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
  47. that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when
  48. you changed that file, and provided that you do at least the following:
  49. rename any non-standard executables and testcases so the names do not conflict
  50. with standard executables and testcases, which must also be provided, and
  51. provide a separate manual page for each non-standard executable and testcase
  52. that clearly documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
  53. 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
  54. form, provided that you do at least the following:
  55. accompany any non-standard executables and testcases with their corresponding
  56. Standard Version executables and testcases, giving the non-standard executables
  57. and testcases non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences
  58. in manual pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get
  59. the Standard Version.
  60. 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this Package.
  61. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may not
  62. charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this Package
  63. in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger
  64. (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not advertise
  65. this Package as a product of your own.
  66. 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
  67. from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
  68. of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold commercially,
  69. and may be aggregated with this Package.
  70. 7.Subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not be considered
  71. part of this Package.
  72. 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
  73. products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
  74. 9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
  75. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND
  76. FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The End
