The Open Group Test Suite License
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which
|
|
a Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains
|
|
some semblance of artistic control over the development of the
|
|
package, while giving the users of the package the right to use and
|
|
distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus
|
|
the right to make reasonable modifications.
|
|
|
|
Testing is essential for proper development and maintenance of
|
|
standards-based products.
|
|
|
|
For buyers: adequate conformance testing leads to reduced
|
|
integration costs and protection of investments in applications,
|
|
software and people.
|
|
|
|
For software developers: conformance testing of platforms and
|
|
middleware greatly reduces the cost of developing and maintaining
|
|
multi-platform application software.
|
|
|
|
For suppliers: In-depth testing increases customer satisfaction and
|
|
keeps development and support costs in check. API conformance is
|
|
highly measurable and suppliers who claim it must be able to
|
|
substantiate that claim.
|
|
|
|
As such, since these are benchmark measures of conformance, we feel
|
|
the integrity of test tools is of importance. In order to preserve
|
|
the integrity of the existing conformance modes of this test
|
|
package and to permit recipients of modified versions of this
|
|
package to run the original test modes, this license requires that
|
|
the original test modes be preserved.
|
|
|
|
If you find a bug in one of the standards mode test cases, please
|
|
let us know so we can feed this back into the original, and also
|
|
raise any specification issues with the appropriate bodies (for
|
|
example the POSIX committees).

|
Definitions:
|
|
|
|
"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
|
|
Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
|
|
created through textual modification.
|
|
"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
|
|
modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
|
|
of the Copyright Holder.
|
|
"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
|
|
copyrights for the package. "You" is you, if you`re thinking
|
|
about copying or distributing this Package.
|
|
"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
|
|
basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
|
|
involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it
|
|
to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community
|
|
at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
|
|
"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
|
|
itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the
|
|
item. It also means that recipients of the item may
|
|
redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.
|
|
|
|
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of
|
|
the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided
|
|
that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and
|
|
associated disclaimers.
|
|
|
|
2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other
|
|
modifications derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright
|
|
Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still be considered
|
|
the Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
|
|
provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
|
|
stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you
|
|
do at least the following:
|
|
|
|
rename any non-standard executables and testcases so the
|
|
names do not conflict with standard executables and
|
|
testcases, which must also be provided, and provide a
|
|
separate manual page for each non-standard executable and
|
|
testcase that clearly documents how it differs from the
|
|
Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code
|
|
or executable form, provided that you do at least the following:
|
|
|
|
accompany any non-standard executables and testcases with
|
|
their corresponding Standard Version executables and
|
|
testcases, giving the non-standard executables and
|
|
testcases non-standard names, and clearly documenting the
|
|
differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together with
|
|
instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
|
|
|
|
5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
|
|
this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
|
|
Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
|
|
you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
|
|
commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
|
|
software distribution provided that you do not advertise this
|
|
Package as a product of your own.
|
|
|
|
6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced
|
|
as output from the programs of this Package do not automatically
|
|
fall under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever
|
|
generated them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated
|
|
with this Package.
|
|
|
|
7.Subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall
|
|
not be considered part of this Package.
|
|
|
|
8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
|
|
promote products derived from this software without specific prior
|
|
written permission.
|
|
|
|
9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
|
|
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
|
|
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
