-The following notice applies to the Ion3 code and to the names "Ion",
-"Ion3", etc.:
+The following notice applies to the Ion3 documentation:
-Copyright (c) Tuomo Valkonen 1999-2007.
+Copyright © 2003-2008 Tuomo Valkonen.
-The code of this project is "essentially" licensed under the LGPL, version
-2.1, unless otherwise indicated in components taken from elsewhere. It is
-reproduced below. Additionally, the following terms apply to the use of
-the name of the project, Ion(tm), names of particular "branches" such as
-Ion3(tm), and other derived names:
-
- If the name Ion(tm) or other names that can be associated with the Ion
- project are used to distribute this software, then:
-
- - A version that does not significantly differ from one of the
- original author's versions must be provided by default.
-
- - When there are no further prominent notices of possible out-datedness,
- and no prominent original author's version qualifiers present (resp.
- only branch qualifier is present), then the version distributed online
- may not significantly differ from the original author's latest stable
- release (resp. latest release on the branch) within a reasonable delay
- (normally 28 days). The holders of physical distribution media must
- be provided ways to upgrade to the latest release within this delay.
-
- - Significantly altered versions may be provided only if the user
- explicitly requests for those modifications to be applied, and
- is prominently notified that the software is no longer considered
- the standard version, and is not supported by the original author.
- The version string displayed by the program must describe these
- modifications and the "support void" status.
-
- Derived works that do not satisfy the above terms must be renamed so
- that they can not be associated with the Ion project, their executables
- must be given names that do not conflict with the original author's
- version, and this author may not be referred to for support.
-
- Modules and other (standalone) extensions to Ion must also be named
- so that they can not be confused to be supported by the original
- author. If "Ion" occurs in the name, it must be in the form
- "Foo for Ion" instead of "Ion Foo", etc.
-
- This name policy notice may not be altered, and must be included in
- any altered versions and binary redistributions. It may only be
- removed when using small portions of the code in unrelated projects.
-
- The original author and the Ion project retain the same rights to
- your modifications that it would have under the LGPL or GPL without
- these or similar additional terms.
-
- If you fail to follow these terms, you lose the rights granted to
- you by the LGPL.
-
-Explanations:
-
-Significant change: Bug fixes are a priori insignificant as additions.
-Basic changes that are needed to install or run the software on a target
-platform are a priori insignificant. Additionally, basic configuration
-changes to better integrate the software with the target platform,
-without obstructing the standard behaviour, are a priori insignificant.
-Everything else is significant. The author reserves the right to refine
-the definition of significant changes on a per-case basis. Please consult
-when in doubt.
-
-Distributions: For example, suppose an aggregate distribution of software
-provides an `installpkg` command for installing packages. Then the action
-`installpkg ion3` (resp. `installpkg ion`) should within a reasonable
-delay install the latest release of Ion3 (resp. the latest stable release),
-or prominently notify the user that the provided version is not or may not
-be the latest. The action `installpkg ion-3ds-20070318` may at any date
-install this particular mentioned release. Likewise, the action `installpkg
---support-void-featurex ion3` may apply additional patches to the latest
-Ion3, within the further constraints set above.
-
-The intent of these terms is to curb the power that "distributions", as
-the primary sources of software for many users, have in defining what
-is perceived as Ion. By providing significantly modified versions and
-out-dated development snapshots without prominently mentioning this fact,
-they do not present the work in a light that the author can agree with,
-and create a burden of dealing with (new) users seeking for support for
-such versions.
