This means that Box Backup 53 is not under pure GPLv2 as published by the Free Software Foundation. 54 These are the only differences between the Box Backup GPL license and 55 the original GPL from the Free Software Foundation. 56 57 Please note that while the Box Backup GPL is similar in spirit to the 58 original GPL, it is not fully compatible. Because of these optional 59 exceptions, you may not include or combine fully GPL source code 60 (such as the GNU readline library) with Box Backup, or distribute the 61 resulting binaries, under the Box Backup GPL license, without 62 specific permission from the authors of such code. You may do so 63 under the pure GPL license, by omitting the optional exclusion clauses 64 below, however you may not legally link such code with OpenSSL or 65 Microsoft VSS, which may limit the usefulness or functionality of the 66 resulting code. 67 68 The license exemption section below was based on the license of the 69 Bacula project 70 [http://bacula.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bacula/bacula;a=blob_plain;f=bacula/LICENSE;hb=HEAD]. 71 72 For the most part, Box Backup is licensed under the GPL version 2 73 [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt]. 74 The sections that follow are optional exemptions to the GPL version 2 75 license, that apply to code that is copyrighted by Ben Summers and 76 Contributors. 77 78 Linking: 79 As a special exception to the GPLv2, the Box Backup Project gives 80 permission to link any code falling under this license (the Box Backup 81 GPL) with any software that can be downloaded from 82 the OpenSSL website [http://www.openssl.org] under either the 83 "OpenSSL License" or the "Original SSLeay License", and to distribute 84 the linked executables under the terms of the "Box Backup GPL" license. 85 86 As a special exception to the GPLv2, the Box Backup Project gives 87 permission to link any code falling under this license (the Box Backup 88 GPL) with any version of Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service 7.2 SDK 89 or Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK), including 90 vssapi.lib, that can be downloaded from the Microsoft website 91 [*.microsoft.com], and to distribute the linked executables under the 92 terms of the "Box Backup GPL" license. 93 94 The sections above are optional, and you may distribute the code that 95 falls under this license under the original GPLv2 license by omitting 96 them. The original GPLv2 license follows. 97 50 98 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 51 99 Version 2, June 1991 … … 388 436 Public License instead of this License. 389 437 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 390 [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt]391 438 392 439 Unless stated otherwise in the file or in the list of directories above, -
