Software in this distribution of the AudioFile Audio Server is covered by copyrights. Please read and understand this document. Parts of the AudioFile server are derived from MIT X Consortium sources, and therefore preserve MIT copyrights; however, additional Digital copyrights have been applied and may or may not be more restrictive than the MIT copyright. The base AudioFile server, device dependent audio code, client library, and basic applications carry an X Consortium style copyright which permits unlimited commercial and non-commercial use. A sample is directly below. /************************************************************ Copyright 1993 by Digital Equipment Corporation, Maynard, Massachusetts.

A few of the more flashy applications, however, are covered by a more restrictive copyright allowing non-commercial use, but for which Digital retains some rights. You must examine the source files involved for exact information on which programs are covered. This includes the FFT viewer, for example. Here is a sample of this second copyright, which allows unrestricted use anywhere except sale (though you can sell it on Digital systems). /* Copyright 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 Digital Equipment Corporation * All Rights Reserved * * Permission to use, copy, and modify this software and its documentation is * hereby granted only under the following terms and conditions.

In order to contribute software to the AudioFile distribution, we suggest following the model of the X Window System. The following is the guide lines from that distribution. Other terms will make it unlikely that we will include a contribution on subsequent releases; we do not wish to spend our time with lawyers on a case by case basis. ---------------------------------- The MIT distribution of the X Window System is publicly available, but is NOT in the public domain. The difference is that copyrights granting rights for unrestricted use and redistribution have been placed on all of the software to identify its authors. You are allowed and encouraged to take this software and build commerical products. Individuals or organizations wishing to contribute software to the public releases should use a copyright notice that is no more restrictive than the sample given below. In particular, o Do not place any restictions on what can be done with this software (this includes using the GNU "copyleft"). o Do not include the words "All rights reserved" unless you have had a lawyer verify that you have also explicitly given away all of the necessary rights shown in the samples. o Spell out the word "Copyright"; the phrase "(c)" is NOT a legal alternative to the c-in-circle symbol. o Put at least a one-line copyright at the top of EVERY source file, if not the full copyright. Also, the copyright line or full notice MUST physically appear in each file. Using the preprocessor to #include the copyright from some other file has no legal meaning (it can be used to incorporate common strings into the binary, but has no effect on the status of the source code). o Things that are copyrighted are, by definition, not in the public domain. A copyright notice similar to the following is strongly recommended (replacing MIT with your organization's name and putting your name and address at the bottom). /* * Copyright 1989 Massachusetts Institute of Technology * * Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sell this software and its * documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, provided that * the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that * copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting * documentation, and that the name of M.I.T. not be used in advertising or * publicity pertaining to distribution of the software without specific, * written prior permission. M.I.T. makes no representations about the * suitability of this software for any purpose. It is provided "as is" * without express or implied warranty. * * M.I.T. DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ALL * IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, IN NO EVENT SHALL M.I.T. * BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES * WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN ACTION * OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT OF OR IN * CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE. * * Author: Your Name, Name of your organization */ Contributed Code ---------------- This kit includes GSM (de)compression code from Technische Universitaet Berlin.
