By >contrast, the MindGuard Public License is intended to guarantee your >freedom to think--by guaranteeing your freedom to use, alter, and >share free anti-mind-control software. This Public License applies >not only to MindGuard, but also to any other program whose authors >commit to using it. This includes you, assuming you are not an evil >mind-control agent. > > When I speak of free anti-mind-control software, I am referring to >freedom of thought, not price. This Public License is designed not >only to make sure you have the freedom to think, but to also allow you >to freely express your thoughts through the distribution of copies of >free anti-mind-control software (with service charge if you wish) and >the availability of said software's source code, that you may change >it or use parts of it in new free anti-mind-control programs. For >what is source code but thought logically expressed and haphazardly >indented? > > To protect your mind from those that would subvert >anti-mind-control software, restrictions that forbid anyone to deny >you or ask you to give up your rights must be made. These >restrictions mean responsibilities for you if you distribute or >modify copies of the software. > > These responsibilities include giving all the rights that you have >under this license to any recipients of copies of the software, >regardless of whether any fee was involved or not; making sure that >they can get the source code, if they so choose; and making sure that >they know their rights as outlined in this license. > > Your rights are protected by copyrighting the software and/or using >this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute >and/or modify the software. > > Also, to protect anti-mind-control software authors from waves of >bogus lawsuits by the psychotronically controlled puppets of the evil >mind-control agencies, it is important that everyone understands that >there is no warranty (NO WARRANTY) for this free anti-mind-control >software. If the software is tampered with by evil mind-control >agents so that it, say, causes epileptic seizures in its users, those >users should know that they were the victims of the evil mind-control >agencies so that these crimes against Humanity do not reflect >negatively on the original author nor cause people to stop using free >anti-mind-control software. > > Finally, any free anti-mind-control program is threatened constantly >by those with political powers who are the very agents that this >software was created to protect you from. To avoid the danger that >they will use their sway with patent offices to claim ownership of the >software and thus make it proprietary and untrustworthy, any patent >must be licensed for the free use of all non-evil mind-control agents >or not licensed at all. > > The mind-numbingly (but not mind-controllingly) precise terms and >conditions for copying, distributing and modifying follow. > > MINDGUARD PUBLIC LICENSE > TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING AND MODIFYING > > 0. The MindGuard Public License (hereinafter referred to as "This >License" or "this License" depending on its sentential positioning) >applies to any work (hereinafter referred to as the "Program") which >contains a notice placed by its copyright holder under his, her or >its freewill ("freewill" hereinbefore and hereinafter being defined >as not being under the influence of any form of mind-control) stating >that said work may be distributed under the terms of this License. >A "work based on the Program" hereinafter means either the Program >itself or a work containing a portion or the totality of the Program >either with or without modifications, translations, transliterations, >or transformations. (Hereinafter, the term "modification" shall >include, without limitations, the last four terms of the previous >sentence excluding the term "or" unless "or" is used to refer to a >boolean function applied to modify the Program or any part of it.) >Each licensee is addressed as "you", as in the statement "You are a >licensee". (The statement "You are not a licensee" will hereinafter >have no logical meaning.) > >Copying, distribution and modification are the only activities covered >by this License. If you are interested in other activities, please >read another License and stop wasting both of our time. You may run >the Program free of restrictions. The product of running the Program >or a work based on the Program (hereinafter referred to as the >"Output") is covered by this License only if it constitutes, in whole >or in part, a work based on the Program (excluding consideration that >it was made by running the Program) or the Program itself. This only >applies if it happens to apply. > > 1. unaltered copies of the Program's source code as you received it >may be copied, distributed, and/or posted, in any medium or mediums, >so long as each copy contains an appropriate copyright notice and >disclaimer of warranty with excessive capitalizations; that all >notices that refer to this License and to the lack of warranty are >kept intact and not modified; and that any and all recipients of the >Program or the Program's source code are given a copy of this License >included with the Program. > >Fees may be levied for the act of distribution or transference of >copies of the Program. However, no fees of any sort shall be levied >against a recipient of the Program for any Program related activities >after it is has been transfered to him or her or it. A fee for >warranty protection may be offered, but a recipient must be under no >obligation to accept the warranty. Fees for support services may >also be offered, but again no obligation to purchase those services >shall be placed on the recipient of the Program. (Hereinafter such >practices as prohibited in the two previous sentences shall be >referred to as "Naughty".) > > 2. You may modify any or all of your copies of the Program or any >portion of said copies, thus forming a work based on the Program. >You may copy, distribute, or post such modifications or work as per >the terms of Section 1 above, provided that the following conditions >are met: > > a) All modified copies of the work must carry prominent notices > stating that you modified them and the date of any modifications. > > b) Any work based on the Program, in whole or in part, that you > distribute, publish, or post must be licensed as a whole under > the terms of this License at no charge whatsoever to anyone. > > c) If the Program in its modified form runs interactively, it > must be caused by you to print or display in its normal usage an > appropriate notice as to its copyright and lack of warranty (or > if a warranty is offered as per Section 1 above, that it make > notice of said warranty) and that it notify users that it may be > redistributed under the terms of this License and that it inform > users on how to attain or view a copy of this License. > (Exception: if the Program on which your work is based does not > do the above, your work based on the Program is not required to > either.) > > d) You are not now, nor have you ever been, nor will you ever be > an agent or sycophant of an organization or group, formal or > informal, that aims, in whole or in part, to practice > mind-control on any sentient or semi-sentient organism or entity > for any purpose whatsoever; or to subvert any form of > anti-mind-control in any way whatsoever, including works based > on the Program. Nor shall you be an independent agent working > toward those goals stated herein this Subsection 2d. > >All hereinbefore terms apply to the modified work as a whole. If >parts of the work not based on the Program can be reasonably >considered to be separate works independent of the parts based on >the Program, then those parts are not covered under the Terms of >this License provided that you distribute them as separate works. >Data files or separate module files not covered by the terms of this >License that may be opened, read, or run by other works not covered >under this License may be distributed with works under this License >without this License applying to them. If the above is not the case >and the parts not based on the Program are distributed as a whole >work with the Program or parts based on the Program, the >distribution as a whole must come under the terms of this License, >and those terms for and rights granted to licensees must extend to >the whole entire work and every little part of it regardless of >authorship, excepting such parts as you are not licensed or >permitted to include in the whole work, which would presumably be >there by an act of violation of copyright laws on your part. >Shame on you. > >This section has no intention of claiming rights for or contesting >your rights to work created entirely by you. The intent of this >section is to exercise the right to control the distribution of >modified, collected, or derived works based on the Program. > >The simple inclusion of a work or part of a work covered by this >License, as delineated hereinbefore and hereinafter, on a storage >or distribution medium does not bring any other works on said >medium not covered by this License under the terms of this License. >If this paragraph wasn't here, the Internet as a whole would fall >under this License. Aren't you glad I included it? > > 3. You may copy, distribute or publish the Program or work based >on the Program in object code or executable form (both hereinafter >referred to as the "Binary") under the terms in Sections 1 and 2 >hereinbefore, provided one of the following conditions is also met: > > a) The Binary is accompanied with the complete corresponding > machine-readable, non-encrypted source code, distributed under > the terms of Sections 1 and 2 hereinbefore on a medium normally > used for the exchange of software by users of the intended > computing platform or platforms of the Program; or, > > b) The Binary must come with a written offer, valid for at > least pi years, to give any third party, for a fee no greater > than the actual cost to you of source code distribution, a > complete copy of the corresponding source code as described in > Subsection 3a hereinbefore to be distributed under the terms of > Sections 1 and 2 hereinbefore on a medium as described in > Subsection 3a hereinbefore; or, > > c) The Binary must come with the offer to distribute the > corresponding source code that you received when you received > the Binary. (This option only applies to noncommercial > distributions and only if the binary you received came with > such an offer as described in Subsection 3b hereinbefore.) > >Hereinbefore and hereinafter, the "source code" for a work shall >mean the form of the work preferred for making modifications to it >by sane programmers or what passes for sane programmers in normal >situations. For Binary distributions, complete source code means >all the source code for all the Binary files it contains, plus >any associated files, scripts or data needed for the compilation >and installation process of the Binary files. Files included in >the distribution but not covered by this License, as described in >Section 2, shall be excepted from the previous condition. Also >excepted shall be anything that is normally distributed (in either >source or binary form) with the major components of the operating >system or environment which the Binary runs on or with, unless >that component itself is distributed with the Binary. > >If the Binary distribution is made by offering access to copy >from a location, either physical or cyberspatial, then offering >the exact same access to copy source code, even if third parties >are not compelled to do so, satisfies the conditions of this >Section. > > 4. You may not copy, modify, distribute, post, or sublicense the >Program except as described under the terms of this License. Any >attempt to do anything with or to the Program that is counter to >the word or intent of this License is void, and will automatically >terminate all your rights under this License, you jerk. However, >any party who has received copies or rights from you under the terms >of this License shall not have his, her or its licenses terminated >so long as he, she or it remains a good little licensee and follows >the conditions and terms of this License. > > 5. There is no obligation for you to accept this License, as you >have not signed it. However, you have no rights under the Law, >outside of this License, to copy, modify, or distribute the Program >or create works based on the Program. By doing any of the above >actions, you are implicitly agreeing to accept all the terms and >conditions of this License for all actions it covers. > > 6. Every recipient of the Program or any work based on the Program >automatically receives a license from the original licensor to do >any of the actions covered in this License under the terms and >conditions of this License. You may not impose on any recipient any >further terms or conditions or restrict any recipient's exercise >of their rights as granted herein. You have no responsibility for >enforcing the compliance of others to the terms and conditions of >this License. You are not your licensee's keeper. > > 7. If any reason whatsoever causes you to be unable or unwilling >to abide by the exact and complete terms and conditions of this >License, be it court judgments on (but not limited to) patent >and/or copyright issues; financial, physical, mental, and/or any >other disability; and/or any form of personal disagreement with >the letter and/or intent of this License and/or with any and/or >all licensors and/or licensees; then you may not distribute the >Program at all as long as said reason and/or reasons still >apply, or other similar reasons surface. For example: if you >are under the influence of mind-control that compels you to >alter the Program such that it serves to subvert any >anti-mind-control properties of the Program and/or help the >evil forces of mind-control in their bid to destroy the >freewill of Humanity and subjugate Humanity to mental slavery >as per Subsection 2d hereinbefore, then the only way you could >satisfy this License would be to not distribute the Program or >the work based on the Program at all. > >If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable >under any particular circumstance, then all the rest will still >apply and the section as a whole will apply in any and all other >circumstances. > >This section doesn't intend for you to do any bad things; it >only desires that you do good and/or legal things. The purpose >of this section is to protect the integrity of the free >anti-mind-control distribution system by making sure that only >those willing and/or able to abide by this License in its >entirety, at all times, attempt to exercise any or all rights >granted herein. > > 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted >in certain political bodies by copyright or patent concerns, the >original copyright holder who places the Program under this License >may explicitly exclude distribution in those geographical or >political bodies, such that distribution is limited to only those >geopolitical bodies not thus excluded. If this is so, said >distribution limitations shall be considered as if included in the >body of this License. Restrictions on distribution and/or use of >the Program for purely political reasons (such as, but not limited >to, governmental interest in mind-control hegemony) shall not--for >the greater good of Humanity--be considered as reason for >geopolitical distribution limitations. Fight the Power! > > 9. Zapato Productions Intradimensional, or its founder and sole >employee Lyle Zapato, may publish revised and/or new versions of the >MindGuard Public License at any time. Such new versions will be >similar to the present version in general intent, but may differ in >details. > >Each version is to be given an unique version number. The following >terms explain which version is applicable for the Program: > > a) If the Program specifies a specific version, then the Program > is licensed only under that version of the License. > > b) If the Program also specifies that it is licensed under "any > later version", then you have the option of following the terms > and conditions of the stated version or any later version > published as per Section 9, Paragraph 1 herein. > > c) If the Program does not specify a version, then you may follow > the terms of any version of the License ever published as per > Section 9, Paragraph 1 herein. > > d) If the Program specifies that it is licensed under the "most > recent version", then only the terms and conditions of the most > recent version of the License applies and the terms and conditions > of all previous versions shall be considered void. Voidification > of previous terms and conditions only applies for actions after > the release date of the most recent version of the License and > shall not be retroactive, however it shall extend to all spawned > licensees as per Sections 2, 6, and others hereinbefore. > >If the Program gives an option, as per Subsections 9b and 9c >hereinbefore, as to which version of the License may apply, that >option must also be extended to all licensees of copies of the Program >or works based on the program. > > 10. You may not incorporate the Program or parts of the Program into >other works whose distribution and licensing conditions differ from >this License unless the author of the other work gives you explicit >permission to, which must include unconditionally agreeing to the >conditions of this License; or the resulting work is for personal, >private, non-distributed use only. For software which is copyrighted >by Zapato Productions Intradimensional or Lyle Zapato, write to me; I >will make exceptions if I feel they are in the best interests of >Humanity's struggle against the Evil Forces of Mind-Control. > > > ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, WHATSOEVER > (NOT EVEN A LITTLE) > > 11. THIS PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE SO THERE IS NO WARRANTY >FOR IT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. YOU GET WHAT YOU >PAY FOR. UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED >"AS IS" BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTIES INVOLVED >WITHOUT ANY SORT OF WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESSED >OR IMPLIED, FOR ALL ETERNITY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE >IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, ACTUAL OR >PERCEIVED, FOR ANY PURPOSE, PARTICULAR OR GENERAL, OR FOR PURPOSE >RELATED PURPOSES (HEREAFTER TO BE CALLED "METAPURPOSES"). YOU ASSUME >THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, AND FASHIONABLE APPEAL >OF THE PROGRAM. SHOULD THE PROGRAM BE EVIDENTLY DEFECTIVE: TOO DARN >BAD. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL COSTS INVOLVED IN SERVICING, >REPAIR, CORRECTION, AND/OR REPLACEMENT. SUCK IT UP, LOSER. > > 12. IN NO EVENT WHATSOEVER (UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR >AGREED TO IN WRITING) WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY >PERMITTED TO DISTRIBUTE AND/OR MODIFY THE PROGRAM AS SPECIFIED ABOVE, >BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, >SPECIAL, MEDIOCRE, INCIDENTAL, DENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES >ARISING OUT OF THE USE, MISUSE, FAILURE TO USE, OR INABILITY TO USE >THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF >DATA, MENTAL RETARDATION, BRAIN VIRUSES, BROKEN MARRIAGES, >SPONTANEOUS HARDDRIVE COMBUSTION, AND/OR LYME DISEASE), EVEN IF SUCH >HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH >DAMAGES AND LAUGHED MANIACALLY WHEN THEY OCCURRED. > > YAY! END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS > > > Appendix: Lets Apply These Terms to Your New Program! > > If you developed new anti-mind-control software and you want it >to be of the greatest possible use to Humanity in its struggle >against the Forces of Evil, the best way to achieve this is to make >it free software that everyone can redistribute, but only non-evil >people can modify, under these terms. > > To do so, attach the following notices to the program, preferably >to the start of each source file, making sure that the NO WARRANTY >notice is annoyingly prominent. At the very least, the copyright >notice and a pointer to the full notice should be included. > > <program's name and brief description.> > Copyright (C) 20yy <name of author> > > This program is free anti-mind-control software; you can > redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the > MindGuard Public License as published by Zapato Productions > Intradimensional, or its founder Lyle Zapato; the most recent > version of the License applies. > > This software is provided AS IS with NO WARRANTY of ANY SORT > WHATSOEVER as to its MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS, actual or > PERCEIVED, for any PURPOSE, PARTICULAR OR GENERAL, or for > PURPOSE RELATED PURPOSES (hereafter referred to as > METAPURPOSES); nor can this VEHEMENT DENIAL of WARRANTY in > any way BE CONSTRUED or TAKEN TO IMPLY evidence of a SECRET > WARRANTY, the EXISTENCE of which is being COVERED UP for > NEFARIOUS PURPOSES or METAPURPOSES.

You should >customize this for what ever best suits your program, for instance >using buttons instead of typed commands if it is GUI based. > >You should also get your school or employer to sign a "copyright >disclaimer" for the program to ensure that they don't claim it as >theirs by virtue of owning your brain and/or any products thereof. >Example follows (change to suit): > > > Evil Mind-Control Agency, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright > interest in the program 'BrainScan' (which scans brains for > implanted memories) written by Paul P.
