|
|
8 -----------
|
|
9 X! tandem open source software that can model tandem
|
|
10 mass spectra with protein sequences. This software

11 has a very simple, unsophistocated application programming
|
|
12 interface (API): it simply takes an XML file of instructions
|
|
13 on its command line, and output the results into an XML file,

|
|
41 Preamble
|
|
42 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
|
|
43 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
|
|
44 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
|
|
45 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
|
|
46 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to
|
|
47 make reasonable modifications.
|
|
48
|
|
49 Definitions
|
|
50 "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
|
|
51 Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
|
|
52 textual modification.
|
|
53
|
|
54 "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
|
|
55 or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
|
|
56 Holder as specified below.
|
|
57
|
|
58 "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
|
|
59 for the package.
|
|
60
|
|
61 "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
|
|
62
|
|
63 "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of
|
|
64 media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on.
|
|
65 (You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but
|
|
66 only to the computing community at large as a market that must bear
|
|
67 the fee.)
|
|
68
|
|
69 "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
|
|
70 though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means
|
|
71 that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same
|
|
72 conditions they received it.
|
|
73
|
|
74 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
|
|
75 Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that
|
|
76 you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
|
|
77 disclaimers.
|
|
78
|
|
79 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
|
|
80 derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A
|
|
81 Package modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard
|
|
82 Version.
|
|
83
|
|
84 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
|
|
85 that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
|
|
86 when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
|
|
87 following:
|
|
88
|
|
89 a. place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
|
|
90 Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet
|
|
91 or an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major
|
|
92 archive site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder
|
|
93 to include your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
|
|
94 b. use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
|
|
95 c. rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
|
|
96 with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
|
|
97 a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
|
|
98 documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
|
|
99 d. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
|
|
100
|
|
101 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
|
|
102 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
|
|
103
|
|
104 a. distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
|
|
105 together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on
|
|
106 where to get the Standard Version.
|
|
107 b. accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
|
|
108 Package with your modifications.
|
|
109 c. give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
|
|
110 document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
|
|
111 with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
|
|
112 d. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
|
|
113
|
|
114 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
|
|
115 this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of
|
|
116 this Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself.
|
|
117 However, you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other
|
|
118 (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly
|
|
119 commercial) software distribution provided that you do not a
|
|
120 dvertise this Package as a product of your own. You may embed this
|
|
121 Package's interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking);
|
|
122 this shall be construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that
|
|
123 the complete Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded.
|
|
124
|
|
125 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
|
|
126 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
|
|
127 under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated
|
|
128 them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
|
|
129 Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
|
|
130 Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing
|
|
131 a binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
|
|
132 neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
|
|
133 fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you
|
|
134 do not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of
|
|
135 this Package.
|
|
136
|
|
137 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages)
|
|
138 supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate
|
|
139 subroutines and variables of the language defined by this Package
|
|
140 shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the equivalent
|
|
141 of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do not change
|
|
142 the language in any way that would cause it to fail the regression
|
|
143 tests for the language.
|
|
144
|
|
145 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
|
|
146 permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
|
|
147 when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
|
|
148 to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
|
|
149 construed as a distribution of this Package.
|
|
150
|
|
151 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
|
|
152 products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

154 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
