Introduction
============

This license applies to source files distributed by Catharon Productions, Inc. in several archive packages. This license applies to all files found in such packages which do not fall under their own explicit license.

This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:

   <<var;name="bullet";original="o";match=".{0,20}">>
   We don't promise that this software works. However, we are interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)

   <<var;name="bullet";original="o";match=".{0,20}">>
   You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)

   <<var;name="bullet";original="o";match=".{0,20}">>
   You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you have used the Catharon Code. (`credits')

We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. We disclaim all warranties covering the packages distributed by Catharon Productions, Inc. and assume no liability related to their use.

Legal Terms
===========

   <<var;name="bullet";original="0.";match=".{0,20}">>
   Definitions
   --------------

   Throughout this license, the terms `Catharon Package', `package', and `Catharon Code' refer to the set of files originally distributed by Catharon Productions, Inc.

   `You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. This program is referred to as `a program using one of the Catharon Packages'.

   This license applies to all files distributed in the original Catharon Package(s), including all source code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by this license, you must contact us to verify this.

   The Catharon Packages are copyright (C) 2000 by Catharon Productions, Inc. All rights reserved except as specified below.

   <<var;name="bullet";original="1.";match=".{0,20}">>
   No Warranty
   --------------

   THE CATHARON PACKAGES ARE PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OF OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE CATHARON PACKAGE.

   Redistribution
   -----------------

   This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and sublicense the Catharon Packages (in both source and object code forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted herein, subject to the following conditions:

      <<var;name="bullet";original="o";match=".{0,20}">>
      Redistribution of source code must retain this license file (`license.txt') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of source files.

      <<var;name="bullet";original="o";match=".{0,20}">>
      Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that states that the software is based in part on the work of Catharon Productions, Inc. in the distribution documentation.

   These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the Catharon Packages, not just the unmodified files. If you use our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid to us.

   <<var;name="bullet";original="3.";match=".{0,20}">>
   Advertising
   --------------

   Neither Catharon Productions, Inc. and contributors nor you shall use the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional purposes without specific prior written permission.

   We suggest, but do not require, that you use the following phrase to refer to this software in your documentation: 'this software is based in part on the Catharon Typography Project'.

   As you have not signed this license, you are not required to accept it. However, as the Catharon Packages are copyrighted material, only this license, or another one contracted with the authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the Catharon Packages, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms of this license.
