| Comment: |
| XZ Utils is developed and maintained upstream by Lasse Collin. Major |
| portions are based on code by other authors; see AUTHORS for details. |
| Most of the source has been put into the public domain, but some files |
| have not (details below). |
| . |
| This file describes the source package. The binary packages contain |
| some files derived from other works: for example, images in the API |
| documentation come from Doxygen. |
| License: |
| Different licenses apply to different files in this package. Here |
| is a rough summary of which licenses apply to which parts of this |
| package (but check the individual files to be sure!): |
| . |
| - liblzma is in the public domain. |
| . |
| - xz, xzdec, and lzmadec command line tools are in the public |
| domain unless GNU getopt_long had to be 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 gzip. These scripts and their documentation are |
| under GNU GPLv2+. |
| . |
| - All the documentation in the doc directory and most of the |
| XZ Utils specific documentation files in other directories |
| are in the public domain. |
| . |
| - Translated messages are in the public domain. |
| . |
| - The build system contains public domain files, and files that |
| are under GNU GPLv2+ or GNU GPLv3+. None of these files end up |
| in the binaries being built. |
| . |
| - Test files and test code in the tests directory, and debugging |
| utilities in the debug directory are in the public domain. |
| . |
| - The extra directory may contain public domain files, and files |
| that are under various free software licenses. |
| . |
| You can do whatever you want with the files that have been put into |
| the public domain. If you find public domain legally problematic, |
| take the previous sentence as a license grant. If you still find |
| the lack of copyright legally problematic, you have too many |
| lawyers. |
| . |
| As usual, this software is provided "as is", without any warranty. |
| . |
| If you copy significant amounts of public domain code from XZ Utils |
| into your project, acknowledging this somewhere in your software is |
| polite (especially if it is proprietary, non-free software), but |
| naturally it is not legally required. Here is an example of a good |
| notice to put into "about box" or into documentation: |
| . |
| This software includes code from XZ Utils <http://tukaani.org/xz/>. |
| . |
| The following license texts are included in the following files: |
| - 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 |
| . |
| Note that the toolchain (compiler, linker etc.) may add some code |
| pieces that are copyrighted. Thus, it is possible that e.g. liblzma |
| binary wouldn't actually be in the public domain in its entirety |
| even though it contains no copyrighted code from the XZ Utils source |
| package. |
| . |
| If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask the author(s) for more |
| information. |

| COPYING says that most docs are in the public domain. Maybe that's not |
| clear enough, but on the other hand it looks a bit stupid to put |
| copyright information in tiny and relatively small docs like README. |
| . |
| I don't dare to say that _all_ XZ Utils specific docs are in the public |
| domain unless otherwise mentioned in the file. I'm including PDF files |
| generated by groff + ps2pdf, and some day I might include Doxygen- |
| generated HTML docs too. Those don't include any copyright notices, but |
| it seems likely that groff + ps2pdf or at least Doxygen put some |
| copyrighted content into the generated files. |

| Comment: |
| changelog.gz (commit 975d8fd) explains: |
| . |
| Recreated the BCJ test files for x86 and SPARC. The old files |
| were linked with crt*.o, which are copyrighted, and thus the |
| old test files were not in the public domain as a whole. They |
| are freely distributable though, but it is better to be careful |
| and avoid including any copyrighted pieces in the test files. |
| The new files are just compiled and assembled object files, |
| and thus don't contain any copyrighted code. |
