Troll TROLLING PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Troll's Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
The licenses for most Troll's are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the Troll Trolling Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free Troll's--to make sure the Troll's is free for all its users. This Trolling Public License applies to most of the Slashdot Troll's Troll's and to any other troll whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Troll's Foundation Troll's is covered by the Troll Library Trolling Public License instead.) You can apply it to your trolls, too.
When we speak of free Troll's, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our Trolling Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free Troll's (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the Troll's or use pieces of it in new free trolls; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the Troll's, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a troll, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the Troll's, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the Troll's.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free Troll's. If the Troll's is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free troll is threatened constantly by Troll's patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free troll will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the troll proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any troll or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Trolling Public License. The "Troll", below, refers to any such troll or work, and a "work based on the Troll" means either the Troll or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Troll or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Troll is not restricted, and the output from the Troll is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Troll (independent of having been made by running the Troll). Whether that is true depends on what the Troll does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Troll's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Troll a copy of this License along with the Troll.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Troll or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Troll, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Troll or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified troll normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the troll under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Troll itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Troll is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Troll, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Troll, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Troll.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Troll with the Troll (or with a work based on the Troll) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Troll (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for Troll's interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for Troll's interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the troll in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Troll except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Troll is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Troll or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Troll (or any work based on the Troll), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Troll or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Troll (or any work based on the Troll), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Troll subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Troll at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Troll by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Troll.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free Troll's distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of Troll's distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute Troll's through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Troll is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Troll under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Troll's Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Trolling Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Troll specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Troll's Foundation. If the Troll does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Troll's Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Troll into other free trolls whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For Troll's which is copyrighted by the Free Troll's Foundation, write to the Free Troll's Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free Troll's and of promoting the sharing and reuse of Troll's Trollingly.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE TROLL IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE TROLL, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE TROLL "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE TROLL IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE TROLL PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE TROLL AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY Trolling, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE TROLL (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE TROLL TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER TROLLS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
