3DFX FXT1 Source Code General Public License
6
This license is for software that provides texture compression and
7
decompression, particularly in the context of video games. The license
8
is intended to offer terms similar to some standard General Public
9
Licenses designed to foster open standards and unrestricted
10
accessibility to source code. Some of these licenses require that, as
11
a condition of the license of the software, any derivative works
12
(that is, new software which is a work containing the original program
13
or a portion of it) must be available for general use, without
14
restriction other than for a minor transfer fee, and that the source
15
code for such derivative works must likewise be made available. The
16
only restriction is that such derivative works must be subject to
17
the same General Public License terms as the original work.
19
This 3dfx FXT1 Source Code General Public License differs from the
20
standard licenses of this type in that it does not require the entire
21
derivative work to be made available under the terms of this license
22
nor is the recipient required to make available the source code for
23
the entire derivative work. Rather, the license is limited to only the
24
identifiable portion of the derivative work that is derived from the
25
licensed software. The precise terms and conditions for copying,
26
distribution and modification follow.
31
2.1 This License applies to any program (or other "work") which
32
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
33
distributed under the terms of this 3dfx FXT1 Source Code General
36
2.2 The term "Program" as used in this Agreement refers to 3DFX's
37
FXT1 source code and object code and any Derivative Work.
39
2.3 "Derivative Work" means, for the purpose of the License, that
40
portion of any work that contains the Program or the identifiable
41
portion of a work that is derived from the Program, either verbatim or
42
with modifications and/or translated into another language, and that
43
performs texture compression and decompression. It does not include
44
any other portions of a work.
46
2.4 "Modifications of the Program" means any work, which includes a
47
Derivative Work, and includes the whole of such work.
49
2.5 "License" means this 3dfx FXT1 Source Code General Public License.
51
2.6 The "Source Code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
52
for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
53
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, any
54
associated interface definition files, and the scripts used to control
55
compilation and installation of the executable work.
57
2.7 "3dfx" means 3dfx Interactive, Inc.
60
3. LICENSED ACTIVITIES
62

63
Program's Source Code as you receive it, in any medium, subject to the
64
provision of section 3.3 and provided also that:
66
(a) you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
67
an appropriate copyright notice (3dfx Interactive, Inc. 1999), a notice
68
that recipients who wish to copy, distribute or modify the Program can
69
only do so subject to this License, and a disclaimer of warranty as
70
set forth in section 5;
72
(b) keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
73
to the absence of any warranty; and
75
(c) give all recipients of the Program a copy of this License
76
along with the Program or instructions on how to easily receive a copy
80
3.2 MODIFICATION OF THE PROGRAM/DERIVATIVE WORKS - You may modify your
81
copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, and copy and
82
distribute such modifications subject to the provisions of section 3.3
83
and provided that you also meet all of the following conditions:
85
(a) you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
86
of a Derivative Work an appropriate copyright notice, a notice that
87
recipients who wish to copy, distribute or modify the Derivative Work
88
can only do so subject to this License, and a disclaimer of warranty
89
as set forth in section 5;
91
(b) keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
92
to the absence of any warranty; and
94
(c) give all recipients of the Derivative Work a copy of this
95
License along with the Derivative Work or instructions on how to easily
96
receive a copy of this License.
98
(d) You must cause the modified files of the Derivative Work
99
to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the
102
(e) You must cause any Derivative Work that you distribute or
103
publish to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the
104
terms of this License.
106
(f) If the Derivative Work normally reads commands
107
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for
108
such interactive use, to print or display an announcement as follows:
110
"COPYRIGHT 3DFX INTERACTIVE, INC. 1999, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THIS
111
SOFTWARE IS FREE AND PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
112
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. SEE THE 3DFX FXT1 GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
113
FOR A FULL TEXT OF THE DISTRIBUTION AND NON-WARRANTY PROVISIONS
114
(REQUEST COPY FROM INFO@3DFX.COM)."
116
(g) The requirements of this section 3.2 do not apply to the
117
modified work as a whole but only to the Derivative Work. It is not
118
the intent of this License to claim rights or contest your rights to
119
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
120
right to control the distribution of Derivative Works.
125
(a) All copies of the Program or Derivative Works which are
126
distributed must include in the file headers the following language
129
"THIS SOFTWARE IS SUBJECT TO COPYRIGHT PROTECTION AND IS OFFERED
130
ONLY PURSUANT TO THE 3DFX FXT1 GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. A COPY OF THIS
131
LICENSE MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR OR BY CONTACTING 3DFX

146
(b) You may distribute the Program or a Derivative Work in
147
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 3.1 and 3.2
148
provided that you also do one of the following:
150
(1) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
151
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
152
terms of Sections 3.1 and 3.2; or,
154
(2) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at
155
least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than
156
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
157
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
158
distributed under the terms of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 on a medium
159
customarily used for software interchange; or,
161
(3) Accompany it with the information you received as
162
to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative
163
is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received
164
the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
165
accord with Subsection 3.3(b)(2) above.)
167
(c) The source code distributed need not include anything
168
that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with
169
the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
170
system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself
171
accompanies the executable code.
173
(d) If distribution of executable code or object code is made
174
by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
175
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts
176
as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
177
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
179
(e) Each time you redistribute the Program or any Derivative
180
Work, the recipient automatically receives a license from 3dfx and
181
successor licensors to copy, distribute or modify the Program and
182
Derivative Works subject to the terms and conditions of the License.
183
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
184
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
185
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
187
(f) You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
188
Program or any Derivative Works except as expressly provided under
189
this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
190
distribute the Program or any Derivative Works is void, and will
191
automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
192
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
193
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
194
parties remain in full compliance.
199
4.1 Acceptance of this License is voluntary. By using, modifying or
200
distributing the Program or any Derivative Work, you indicate your
201
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
202
for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on
203
it. Nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
204
Program or Derivative Works and doing so without acceptance of this
205
License is in violation of the U.S. and international copyright laws.
207
4.2 If the distribution and/or use of the Program or Derivative Works
208
is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
209
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under
210
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
211
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in
212
or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
213
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
215
4.3 This License is to be construed according to the laws of the
216
State of California and you consent to personal jurisdiction in the
217
State of California in the event it is necessary to enforce the
218
provisions of this License.
223
5.1 TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
224
FOR THE PROGRAM. OR DERIVATIVE WORKS THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR

228
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
229
AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM AND ANY DERIVATIVE WORK IS WITH YOU.
230

231
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
233
5.2 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL 3DFX
234
INTERACTIVE, INC., OR ANY OTHER COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
235
WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR DERIVATIVE WORKS AS
236
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
237
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
