ARPHIC PUBLIC LICENSE
Copyright (C) 1999 Arphic Technology Co., Ltd.
11Fl. No.168, Yung Chi Rd., Taipei, 110 Taiwan
All rights reserved except as specified below.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
document, but changing it is forbidden.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and
change it. By contrast, the ARPHIC PUBLIC LICENSE specifically permits and
encourages you to use this software, provided that you give the recipients all the
rights that we gave you and make sure they can get the modifications of this
software.
Legal Terms
0. Definitions:
Throughout this License, "Font" means the TrueType fonts "AR PL Mingti2L Big5",
"AR PL KaitiM Big5" (BIG-5 character set) and "AR PL SungtiL GB", "AR PL KaitiM
GB" (GB character set) which are originally distributed by Arphic, and the
derivatives of those fonts created through any modification including modifying
glyph, reordering glyph, converting format, changing font name, or adding/deleting
some characters in/from glyph table.
"PL" means "Public License".
"Copyright Holder" means whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for the
Font.
"You" means the licensee, or person copying, redistributing or modifying the Font.
"Freely Available" means that you have the freedom to copy or modify the Font as
well as redistribute copies of the Font under the same conditions you received,
not price. If you wish, you can charge for this service.
1. Copying & Distribution
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of this Font in any medium, without
restriction, provided that you retain this license file (ARPHICPL.TXT) unaltered
in all copies.
2. Modification
You may otherwise modify your copy of this Font in any way, including modifying
glyph, reordering glyph, converting format, changing font name, or adding/deleting
some characters in/from glyph table, and copy and distribute such modifications
under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that the following conditions are
met:
a) You must insert a prominent notice in each modified file stating how and when
you changed that file.
b) You must make such modifications Freely Available as a whole to all third
parties under the terms of this License, such as by offering access to copy the
modifications from a designated place, or distributing the modifications on a
medium customarily used for software interchange.
c) If the modified fonts normally reads commands interactively when run, you must
cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way,
to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and
a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty)
and that users may redistribute the Font under these conditions, and telling the
user how to view a copy of this License.
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections
of that work are not derived from the Font, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License and its terms, do
not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. Therefore,
mere aggregation of another work not based on the Font with the Font on a volume
of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope
of this License.
3. Condition Subsequent
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Font except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
distribute the Font will automatically retroactively void your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received copies or rights from you under this
License will keep their licenses valid so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
4. Acceptance
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to copy, modify, sublicense or
distribute the Font. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by copying, modifying, sublicensing or distributing the Font,
you indicate your acceptance of this License and all its terms and conditions.
5. Automatic Receipt
Each time you redistribute the Font, the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Font subject
to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
6. Contradiction
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or
for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Font at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Font by all those who receive copies directly
or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Font.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
7. NO WARRANTY
BECAUSE THE FONT IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE FONT, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE FONT "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE FONT IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE FONT
PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.
8. DAMAGES WAIVER
UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY
COPYRIGHTT HOLDERS, OR OTHER PARTIES WHO MAY COPY, MODIFY OR REDISTRIBUTE THE FONT
AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE FONT (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR
SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDERS OR OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
