XZ Utils Licensing
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Different licenses apply to different files in this package. Here
|
||||
is a summary of which licenses apply to which parts of this package:
|
||||
|
||||
- liblzma is under the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD).
|
||||
|
||||
- The command line tools xz, xzdec, lzmadec, and lzmainfo are
|
||||
under 0BSD except that, on systems that don't have a usable
|
||||
getopt_long, GNU getopt_long is compiled and linked in from the
|
||||
'lib' directory. The getopt_long code is under GNU LGPLv2.1+.
|
||||
|
||||
- The scripts to grep, diff, and view compressed files have been
|
||||
adapted from GNU gzip. These scripts (xzgrep, xzdiff, xzless,
|
||||
and xzmore) are under GNU GPLv2+. The man pages of the scripts
|
||||
are under 0BSD; they aren't based on the man pages of GNU gzip.
|
||||
|
||||
- Most of the XZ Utils specific documentation that is in
|
||||
plain text files (like README, INSTALL, PACKAGERS, NEWS,
|
||||
and ChangeLog) are under 0BSD unless stated otherwise in
|
||||
the file itself. The files xz-file-format.txt and
|
||||
lzma-file-format.xt are in the public domain but may
|
||||
be distributed under the terms of 0BSD too.
|
||||
|
||||
- Translated messages and man pages are under 0BSD except that
|
||||
some old translations are in the public domain.
|
||||
|
||||
- Test files and test code in the 'tests' directory, and
|
||||
debugging utilities in the 'debug' directory are under
|
||||
the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD).
|
||||
|
||||
- The GNU Autotools based build system contains files that are
|
||||
under GNU GPLv2+, GNU GPLv3+, and a few permissive licenses.
|
||||
These files don't affect the licensing of the binaries being
|
||||
built.
|
||||
|
||||
- The 'extra' directory contains files that are under various
|
||||
free software licenses. These aren't built or installed as
|
||||
part of XZ Utils.
|
||||
|
||||
For the files under the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD), if
|
||||
a copyright notice is needed, the following is sufficient:
|
||||
|
||||
Copyright (C) The XZ Utils authors and contributors
|
||||
|
||||
If you copy significant amounts of 0BSD-licensed code from XZ Utils
|
||||
into your project, acknowledging this somewhere in your software is
|
||||
polite (especially if it is proprietary, non-free software), but
|
||||
it is not legally required by the license terms. Here is an example
|
||||
of a good notice to put into "about box" or into documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
This software includes code from XZ Utils <https://tukaani.org/xz/>.
|
||||
|
||||
The following license texts are included in the following files:
|
||||
- COPYING.0BSD: BSD Zero Clause License
|
||||
- COPYING.LGPLv2.1: GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
|
||||
- COPYING.GPLv2: GNU General Public License version 2
|
||||
- COPYING.GPLv3: GNU General Public License version 3
|
||||
|
||||
A note about old XZ Utils releases:
|
||||
|
||||
XZ Utils releases 5.4.6 and older and 5.5.1alpha have a
|
||||
significant amount of code put into the public domain and
|
||||
that obviously remains so. The switch from public domain to
|
||||
0BSD for newer releases was made in Febrary 2024 because
|
||||
public domain has (real or perceived) legal ambiguities in
|
||||
some jurisdictions.
|
||||
|
||||
There is very little *practical* difference between public
|
||||
domain and 0BSD. The main difference likely is that one
|
||||
shouldn't claim that 0BSD-licensed code is in the public
|
||||
domain; 0BSD-licensed code is copyrighted but available under
|
||||
an extremely permissive license. Neither 0BSD nor public domain
|
||||
require retaining or reproducing author, copyright holder, or
|
||||
license notices when distributing the software. (Compare to,
|
||||
for example, BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License which does have
|
||||
such requirements.)
|
||||
|
||||
If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask for more information.
|
||||
The contact information is in the README file.
