SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR COMPRESSED EXECUTABLES
============================================
The stub which is imbedded in each UPX compressed program is part of UPX and UCL, and contains code that is under our
copyright. The terms of the GNU General Public License still apply as compressing a program is a special form of linking with our
stub.
Hereby Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer and Laszlo Molnar grant you special permission to freely use and distribute all UPX
compressed programs (including commercial ones), subject to the following restrictions:
1. You must compress your program with a completely unmodified UPX version; either with our precompiled version, or (at your
option) with a self compiled version of the unmodified UPX sources as distributed by us.
2. This also implies that the UPX stub must be completely unmodfied, i.e. the stub imbedded in your compressed program must
be byte-identical to the stub that is produced by the official unmodified UPX version.
3. The decompressor and any other code from the stub must exclusively get used by the unmodified UPX stub for
decompressing your program at program startup. No portion of the stub may get read, copied, called or otherwise get
used or accessed by your program.
ANNOTATIONS
===========
● You can use a modified UPX version or modified UPX stub only for programs that are compatible with the GNU General
Public License. - We grant you special permission to freely use and distribute all UPX compressed programs. But any
modification of the UPX stub (such as, but not limited to, removing our copyright string or making your program non-
decompressible) will immediately revoke your right to use and distribute a UPX compressed program.
● UPX is not a software protection tool; by requiring that you use the unmodified UPX version for your proprietary programs
we make sure that any user can decompress your program. This protects both you and your users as nobody can hide
malicious code - any program that cannot be decompressed is highly suspicious by definition.
● You can integrate all or part of UPX and UCL into projects that are compatible with the GNU GPL, but obviously you cannot
grant any special exceptions beyond the GPL for our code in your project.
● We want to actively support manufacturers of virus scanners and similar security software. Please contact us if you would
like to incorporate parts of UPX or UCL into such a product.

VIM LICENSE
I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except that they must include this license text. You can also
distribute unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to
include executables that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts.
II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, including executables and/or source code, when the
following four conditions are met:
1) This license text must be included unmodified.
2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:
a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer
asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including source code,
available to the maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the official version of Vim.
What the maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no
negotiation then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes.
