                          Aladdin Free Public License
+
                        (Version 9, September 18, 2000)
+
 
+
  Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 Aladdin Enterprises,
+
            Menlo Park, California, U.S.A. All rights reserved.
+
 
+
    NOTE: This License is not the same as any of the GNU Licenses
+
    published by the Free Software Foundation. Its terms are
+
    substantially different from those of the GNU Licenses. If you are
+
    familiar with the GNU Licenses, please read this license with extra
+
    care.
+
 
+
  Aladdin Enterprises hereby grants to anyone the permission to apply
+
  this License to their own work, as long as the entire License
+
  (including the above notices and this paragraph) is copied with no
+
  changes, additions, or deletions except for changing the first
+
  paragraph of Section 0 to include a suitable description of the work
+
  to which the license is being applied and of the person or entity that
+
  holds the copyright in the work, and, if the License is being applied
+
  to a work created in a country other than the United States, replacing
+
  the first paragraph of Section 6 with an appropriate reference to the
+
  laws of the appropriate country.
+
 
+
  This License is not an Open Source license: among other things, it
+
  places restrictions on distribution of the Program, specifically
+
  including sale of the Program. While Aladdin Enterprises respects and
+
  supports the philosophy of the Open Source Definition, and shares the
+
  desire of the GNU project to keep licensed software freely
+
  redistributable in both source and object form, we feel that Open
+
  Source licenses unfairly prevent developers of useful software from
+
  being compensated proportionately when others profit financially from
+
  their work. This License attempts to ensure that those who receive,
+
  redistribute, and contribute to the licensed Program according to the
+
  Open Source and Free Software philosophies have the right to do so,
+
  while retaining for the developer(s) of the Program the power to make
+
  those who use the Program to enhance the value of commercial products
+
  pay for the privilege of doing so.
+
 
+
0. Subject Matter
+
 
+
  This License applies to the computer program known as "AFPL
+
  Ghostscript." The "Program", below, refers to such program. The
+
  Program is a copyrighted work whose copyright is held by artofcode
+
  LLC, located in Benicia, California (the "Licensor"). Please note that
+
  AFPL Ghostscript is neither the program known as "GNU Ghostscript" nor
+
  the version of Ghostscript available for commercial licensing from
+
  Artifex Software Inc.
+
 
+
  A "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
+
  derivative work of the Program, as defined in the United States
+
  Copyright Act of 1976, such as a translation or a modification.
+
 
+
  BY MODIFYING OR DISTRIBUTING THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
+
  PROGRAM), 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 OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE
+
  GRANTS YOU PERMISSION TO MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS
+
  DERIVATIVE WORKS. THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT
+
  ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE
+
  PROGRAM.
+
 
+
1. Licenses.
+
 
+
  Licensor hereby grants you the following rights, provided that you
+
  comply with all of the restrictions set forth in this License and
+
  provided, further, that you distribute an unmodified copy of this
+
  License with the Program:
+
  (a)
+
          You may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of
+
          the Program's source code as you receive it throughout the
+
          world, in any medium.
+
  (b)
+
          You may modify the Program, create works based on the Program
+
          and distribute copies of such throughout the world, in any
+
          medium.
+
 
+
2. Restrictions.
+
 
+
  This license is subject to the following restrictions:
+
  (a)
+
          Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by
+
          a commercial organization to any third party is prohibited if
+
          any payment is made in connection with such distribution,
+
          whether directly (as in payment for a copy of the Program) or
+
          indirectly (as in payment for some service related to the
+
          Program, or payment for some product or service that includes a
+
          copy of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples,
+
          and not an exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities).
+
          The following methods of distribution involving payment shall
+
          not in and of themselves be a violation of this restriction:
+
        (i)
+
              Posting the Program on a public access information storage
+
              and retrieval service for which a fee is received for
+
              retrieving information (such as an on-line service),
+
              provided that the fee is not content-dependent (i.e., the
+
              fee would be the same for retrieving the same volume of
+
              information consisting of random data) and that access to
+
              the service and to the Program is available independent of
+
              any other product or service. An example of a service that
+
              does not fall under this section is an on-line service
+
              that is operated by a company and that is only available
+
              to customers of that company. (This is not an exhaustive
+
              enumeration.)
+
        (ii)
+
              Distributing the Program on removable computer-readable
+
              media, provided that the files containing the Program are
+
              reproduced entirely and verbatim on such media, that all
+
              information on such media be redistributable for
+
              non-commercial purposes without charge, and that such
+
              media are distributed by themselves (except for
+
              accompanying documentation) independent of any other
+
              product or service. Examples of such media include CD-ROM,
+
              magnetic tape, and optical storage media. (This is not
+
              intended to be an exhaustive list.) An example of a
+
              distribution that does not fall under this section is a
+
              CD-ROM included in a book or magazine. (This is not an
+
              exhaustive enumeration.)
+
  (b)
+
          Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of
+
          the Program are not subject to this License and they are
+
          outside its scope. Functional use (running) of the Program is
+
          not restricted, and any output produced through the use of the
+
          Program is subject to this license only if its contents
+
          constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
+
          been made by running the Program).
+
  (c)
+
          You must meet all of the following conditions with respect to
+
          any work that you distribute or publish that in whole or in
+
          part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
+
          thereof ("the Work"):
+
        (i)
+
              If you have modified the Program, you must cause the Work
+
              to carry prominent notices stating that you have modified
+
              the Program's files and the date of any change. In each
+
              source file that you have modified, you must include a
+
              prominent notice that you have modified the file,
+
              including your name, your e-mail address (if any), and the
+
              date and purpose of the change;
+
        (ii)
+
              You must cause the Work to be licensed as a whole and at
+
              no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
+
              License;
+
        (iii)
+
              If the Work normally reads commands interactively when
+
              run, you must cause it, at each time the Work commences
+
              operation, to print or display an announcement including
+
              an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is
+
              no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty).
+
              Such notice must also state that users may redistribute
+
              the Work only under the conditions of this License and
+
              tell the user how to view the copy of this License
+
              included with the Work. (Exceptions: if the Program is
+
              interactive but normally prints or displays such an
+
              announcement only at the request of a user, such as in an
+
              "About box", the Work is required to print or display the
+
              notice only under the same circumstances; if the Program
+
              itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
+
              announcement, the Work is not required to print an
+
              announcement.);
+
        (iv)
+
              You must accompany the Work with the complete
+
              corresponding machine-readable source code, delivered on a
+
              medium customarily used for software interchange. 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, plus any associated interface
+
              definition files, plus the scripts used to control
+
              compilation and installation of the executable code. If
+
              you distribute with the Work any component 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, you
+
              must also distribute the source code of that component if
+
              you have it and are allowed to do so;
+
        (v)
+
              If you distribute any written or printed material at all
+
              with the Work, such material must include either a written
+
              copy of this License, or a prominent written indication
+
              that the Work is covered by this License and written
+
              instructions for printing and/or displaying the copy of
+
              the License on the distribution medium;
+
        (vi)
+
              You may not impose any further restrictions on the
+
              recipient's exercise of the rights granted herein.
+
 
+
  If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering the
+
  equivalent ability to copy from a designated place, then offering
+
  equivalent ability 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 code along with the object code.
+
 
+
  3. Reservation of Rights.
+
 
+
  No rights are granted to the Program except as expressly set forth
+
  herein. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
+
  Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+
  otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program 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. Other Restrictions.
+
 
+
  If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
+
  countries for any reason, Licensor 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.
+
 
+
  5. Limitations.
+
 
+
  THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
+
  WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
+
  NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
+
  FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
+
  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
+
  WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+
  ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
 
+
  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+
  WILL LICENSOR, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
+
  THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+
  INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
+
  ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (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
+
  TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
+
  PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
 
+
  6. General.
+
 
+
  This License is governed by the laws of the State of California,
+
  U.S.A., excluding choice of law rules.
+
 
+
  If any part of this License is found to be in conflict with the law,
+
  that part shall be interpreted in its broadest meaning consistent with
+
  the law, and no other parts of the License shall be affected.
+
 
+
  For United States Government users, the Program is provided with
+
  RESTRICTED RIGHTS. If you are a unit or agency of the United States
+
  Government or are acquiring the Program for any such unit or agency,
+
  the following apply:
+
 
+
    If the unit or agency is the Department of Defense ("DOD"), the
+
    Program and its documentation are classified as "commercial
+
    computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation"
+
    respectively and, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202, the Government
+
    is acquiring the Program and its documentation in accordance with
+
    the terms of this License. If the unit or agency is other than DOD,
+
    the Program and its documentation are classified as "commercial
+
    computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation"
+
    respectively and, pursuant to FAR Section 12.212, the Government is
+
    acquiring the Program and its documentation in accordance with the
+
    terms of this License.
