Common UNIX Printing System License Agreement
Copyright 2007 by Apple Inc.
1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014 USA
WWW: http://www.cups.org/
INTRODUCTION
The Common UNIX Printing System(tm), ("CUPS(tm)"), is provided
under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") and GNU Library
General Public License ("LGPL"), Version 2, with exceptions for
Apple operating systems and the OpenSSL toolkit. A copy of the
exceptions and licenses follow this introduction.
The GNU LGPL applies to the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries
located in the "cups" and "filter" subdirectories of the CUPS
source distribution and in the "cups" include directory and
library files in the binary distributions. The GNU GPL applies to
the remainder of the CUPS distribution, including the "pdftops"
filter which is based upon Xpdf.
For those not familiar with the GNU GPL, the license basically
allows you to:
- Use the CUPS software at no charge.
- Distribute verbatim copies of the software in source or
binary form.
- Sell verbatim copies of the software for a media fee, or
sell support for the software.
What this license *does not* allow you to do is make changes or
add features to CUPS and then sell a binary distribution without
source code. You must provide source for any changes or additions
to the software, and all code must be provided under the GPL or
LGPL as appropriate. The only exceptions to this are the portions
of the CUPS software covered by the Apple operating system
license exceptions outlined later in this license agreement.
The GNU LGPL relaxes the "link-to" restriction, allowing you to
develop applications that use the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries
under other licenses and/or conditions as appropriate for your
application, driver, or filter.
LICENSE EXCEPTIONS
In addition, as the copyright holder of CUPS, Apple Inc. grants
the following special exceptions:
1. Apple Operating System Development License Exception;
a. Software that is developed by any person or entity
for an Apple Operating System ("Apple OS-Developed
Software"), including but not limited to Apple and
third party printer drivers, filters, and backends
for an Apple Operating System, that is linked to the
CUPS imaging library or based on any sample filters
or backends provided with CUPS shall not be
considered to be a derivative work or collective work
based on the CUPS program and is exempt from the
mandatory source code release clauses of the GNU GPL.
You may therefore distribute linked combinations of
the CUPS imaging library with Apple OS-Developed
Software without releasing the source code of the
Apple OS-Developed Software. You may also use sample
filters and backends provided with CUPS to develop
Apple OS-Developed Software without releasing the
source code of the Apple OS-Developed Software.
b. An Apple Operating System means any operating system
software developed and/or marketed by Apple Computer,
Inc., including but not limited to all existing
releases and versions of Apple's Darwin, Mac OS X,
and Mac OS X Server products and all follow-on
releases and future versions thereof.
c. This exception is only available for Apple
OS-Developed Software and does not apply to software
that is distributed for use on other operating
systems.
d. All CUPS software that falls under this license
exception have the following text at the top of each
source file:
This file is subject to the Apple OS-Developed
Software exception.
2. OpenSSL Toolkit License Exception;
a. Apple Inc. explicitly allows the compilation and
distribution of the CUPS software with the OpenSSL
Toolkit.
No developer is required to provide these exceptions in a
derived work.
KERBEROS SUPPORT CODE
The Kerberos support code ("KSC") is copyright 2006 by Jelmer
Vernooij and is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied
warranty. In no event will the author or Apple Inc. be held
liable for any damages arising from the use of the KSC.
Sources files containing KSC have the following text at the top
of each source file:
This file contains Kerberos support code, copyright 2006 by
Jelmer Vernooij.
The KSC copyright and license apply only to Kerberos-related
feature code in CUPS. Such code is typically conditionally
compiled based on the present of the HAVE_GSSAPI preprocessor
definition.
Permission is granted to anyone to use the KSC for any purpose,
including commercial applications, and to alter it and
redistribute it freely, subject to the following restrictions:
1. The origin of the KSC must not be misrepresented; you
must not claim that you wrote the original software. If
you use the KSC in a product, an acknowledgment in the
product documentation would be appreciated but is not
required.
2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such,
and must not be misrepresented as being the original
software.
3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source
distribution.
TRADEMARKS
Apple Inc. has trademarked the Common UNIX Printing System, CUPS,
and CUPS logo. You may use these names and logos in any direct port
or binary distribution of CUPS. Please contact Apple Inc. for written
permission to use them in derivative products. Our intention is to
protect the value of these trademarks and ensure that any derivative
product meets the same high-quality standards as the original.
