Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Exception is an additional permission under section 7 of the GNU
|
|
|
|
General Public License, version 3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to a given
|
|
|
|
file that bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file
|
|
|
|
stating that the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this Exception is to allow distribution of Autoconf's
|
|
|
|
typical output under terms of the recipient's choice (including
|
|
|
|
proprietary).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Covered Code" is the source or object code of a version of Autoconf
|
|
|
|
that is a covered work under this License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Normally Copied Code" for a version of Autoconf means all parts of
|
|
|
|
its Covered Code which that version can copy from its code (i.e., not
|
|
|
|
from its input file) into its minimally verbose, non-debugging and
|
|
|
|
non-tracing output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ineligible Code" is Covered Code that is not Normally Copied Code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Grant of Additional Permission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have permission to propagate output of Autoconf, even if such
|
|
|
|
propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3. However, if
|
|
|
|
by modifying Autoconf you cause any Ineligible Code of the version you
|
|
|
|
received to become Normally Copied Code of your modified version, then
|
|
|
|
you void this Exception for the resulting covered work. If you convey
|
|
|
|
that resulting covered work, you must remove this Exception in accordance
|
|
|
|
with the second paragraph of Section 7 of GPLv3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. No Weakening of Autoconf Copyleft.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The availability of this Exception does not imply any general presumption
|
|
|
|
that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft requirements of
|
|
|
|
the license of Autoconf.
