================================ The PyInstaller licensing terms ================================ Copyright (c) 2010-2018, PyInstaller Development Team Copyright (c) 2005-2009, Giovanni Bajo Based on previous work under copyright (c) 2002 McMillan Enterprises, Inc. PyInstaller is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. Bootloader Exception -------------------- In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the authors give you unlimited permission to link or embed compiled bootloader and related files into combinations with other programs, and to distribute those combinations without any restriction coming from the use of those files. (The General Public License restrictions do apply in other respects; for example, they cover modification of the files, and distribution when not linked into a combine executable.) Bootloader and Related Files ---------------------------- Bootloader and related files are files which are embedded within the final executable. This includes files in directories: ./bootloader/ ./PyInstaller/loader About the PyInstaller Development Team -------------------------------------- The PyInstaller Development Team is the set of contributors to the PyInstaller project. A full list with details is kept in the documentation directory, in the file ``doc/CREDITS.rst``. The core team that coordinates development on GitHub can be found here: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller. As of 2015, it consists of: * Hartmut Goebel * Martin Zibricky * David Vierra * David Cortesi Our Copyright Policy -------------------- PyInstaller uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright over their contributions to PyInstaller. But, it is important to note that these contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the PyInstaller source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire PyInstaller Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the change to the PyInstaller repository. With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file to indicate the copyright and license terms: #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Copyright (c) 2005-20l5, PyInstaller Development Team. # # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License with # exception for distributing bootloader. # # The full license is in the file COPYING.txt, distributed with this software. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
