license: relicense to copyleft-next
A pending patch suggests copyleft-next GPLv2 compatible, it integrates the license as the list of possible licenses used on modules and files [0] in the Linux kernel. While integration of this patch is pending, relicense this userspace code to copyleft-next in the meantime. copyleft-next is my license of choice. The current template license on tables.h is temporary while its sorted out what is best. As noted in the proposed patch upstream to add copyleft-next to the list of kernel compatible licenses [0] but added here to explain *why* I've decided to do this, a summary of benefits of using copyleft-next >= 0.3.1 over GPLv2 is listed below, it shows *why* some folks like myself will prefer it over GPLv2 for future work. An obvious gain not in that list is that this particular userspace code is now under copyleft-next, so while GPLv2 applies to the Linux kernel we benefit from keeping this code under copyleft-next if future enhancements are made upstream on the Linux kernel. o It is much shorter and simpler o It has an explicit patent license grant, unlike GPLv2 o Its notice preservation conditions are clearer o More free software/open source licenses are compatible with it (via section 4) o The source code requirement triggered by binary distribution is much simpler in a procedural sense o Recipients potentially have a contract claim against distributors who are noncompliant with the source code requirement o There is a built-in inbound=outbound policy for upstream contributions (cf. Apache License 2.0 section 5) o There are disincentives to engage in the controversial practice of copyleft/ proprietary dual-licensing o In 15 years copyleft expires, which can be advantageous for legacy code o There are explicit disincentives to bringing patent infringement claims accusing the licensed work of infringement (see 10b) o There is a cure period for licensees who are not compliant with the license (there is no cure opportunity in GPLv2) o copyleft-next has a 'built-in or-later' provision [0] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1465929311-13509-1-git-send-email-mcgrof@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Luis R.

- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, 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 software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (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 software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; 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 software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, 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 software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software 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 program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program 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.
-
- GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program 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 Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program'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 Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-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 Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, 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 Program 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 program 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 program under
- these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
- License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
- does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
- the Program 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 Program,
-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 Program, 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 Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) 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 Program (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 software 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 software 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 program 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 Program
-except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program 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 Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
- 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program 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 Program at all. For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program 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 Program.
-
-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 software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software 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 software 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 Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program 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 Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General 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 Program
-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
-Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
- 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software 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 software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "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 PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM 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 PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (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 PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
- Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
- <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
- Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
-
- This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
- it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
- the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
- (at your option) any later version.
-
- This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
- but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
- MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
- GNU General Public License for more details.
-
- You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
- along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
- Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
- Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
- Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
- This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
- under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
-
-The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
-parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
-be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
-mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
-necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
- Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
- `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
-
- <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
- Ty Coon, President of Vice
-
-This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
-proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
-consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
-library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
-Public License instead of this License.

+ copyleft-next 0.3.1 ("this License")
+ Release date: 2016-04-29
+
+1. License Grants; No Trademark License
+
+ Subject to the terms of this License, I grant You:
+
+ a) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable
+ copyright license, to reproduce, Distribute, prepare derivative works
+ of, publicly perform and publicly display My Work.
+
+ b) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable
+ patent license under Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, sell,
+ offer for sale, and import Covered Works.
+
+ This License does not grant any rights in My name, trademarks, service
+ marks, or logos.
+
+2. Distribution: General Conditions
+
+ You may Distribute Covered Works, provided that You (i) inform
+ recipients how they can obtain a copy of this License; (ii) satisfy the
+ applicable conditions of sections 3 through 6; and (iii) preserve all
+ Legal Notices contained in My Work (to the extent they remain
+ pertinent). "Legal Notices" means copyright notices, license notices,
+ license texts, and author attributions, but does not include logos,
+ other graphical images, trademarks or trademark legends.
+
+3. Conditions for Distributing Derived Works; Outbound GPL Compatibility
+
+ If You Distribute a Derived Work, You must license the entire Derived
+ Work as a whole under this License, with prominent notice of such
+ licensing. This condition may not be avoided through such means as
+ separate Distribution of portions of the Derived Work.
+
+ If the Derived Work includes material licensed under the GPL, You may
+ instead license the Derived Work under the GPL.
+
+4. Condition Against Further Restrictions; Inbound License Compatibility
+
+ When Distributing a Covered Work, You may not impose further
+ restrictions on the exercise of rights in the Covered Work granted under
+ this License. This condition is not excused merely because such
+ restrictions result from Your compliance with conditions or obligations
+ extrinsic to this License (such as a court order or an agreement with a
+ third party).
+
+ However, You may Distribute a Covered Work incorporating material
+ governed by a license that is both OSI-Approved and FSF-Free as of the
+ release date of this License, provided that compliance with such
+ other license would not conflict with any conditions stated in other
+ sections of this License.
+
+5. Conditions for Distributing Object Code
+
+ You may Distribute an Object Code form of a Covered Work, provided that
+ you accompany the Object Code with a URL through which the Corresponding
+ Source is made available, at no charge, by some standard or customary
+ means of providing network access to source code.
+
+ If you Distribute the Object Code in a physical product or tangible
+ storage medium ("Product"), the Corresponding Source must be available
+ through such URL for two years from the date of Your most recent
+ Distribution of the Object Code in the Product. However, if the Product
+ itself contains or is accompanied by the Corresponding Source (made
+ available in a customarily accessible manner), You need not also comply
+ with the first paragraph of this section.
+
+ Each direct and indirect recipient of the Covered Work from You is an
+ intended third-party beneficiary of this License solely as to this
+ section 5, with the right to enforce its terms.
+
+6. Symmetrical Licensing Condition for Upstream Contributions
+
+ If You Distribute a work to Me specifically for inclusion in or
+ modification of a Covered Work (a "Patch"), and no explicit licensing
+ terms apply to the Patch, You license the Patch under this License, to
+ the extent of Your copyright in the Patch. This condition does not
+ negate the other conditions of this License, if applicable to the Patch.
+
+7. Nullification of Copyleft/Proprietary Dual Licensing
+
+ If I offer to license, for a fee, a Covered Work under terms other than
+ a license that is OSI-Approved or FSF-Free as of the release date of this
+ License or a numbered version of copyleft-next released by the
+ Copyleft-Next Project, then the license I grant You under section 1 is no
+ longer subject to the conditions in sections 3 through 5.
+
+8. Copyleft Sunset
+
+ The conditions in sections 3 through 5 no longer apply once fifteen
+ years have elapsed from the date of My first Distribution of My Work
+ under this License.
+
+9. Pass-Through
+
+ When You Distribute a Covered Work, the recipient automatically receives
+ a license to My Work from Me, subject to the terms of this License.
+
+10. Termination
+
+ Your license grants under section 1 are automatically terminated if You
+
+ a) fail to comply with the conditions of this License, unless You cure
+ such noncompliance within thirty days after becoming aware of it, or
+
+ b) initiate a patent infringement litigation claim (excluding
+ declaratory judgment actions, counterclaims, and cross-claims)
+ alleging that any part of My Work directly or indirectly infringes
+ any patent.
+
+ Termination of Your license grants extends to all copies of Covered
+ Works You subsequently obtain. Termination does not terminate the
+ rights of those who have received copies or rights from You subject to
+ this License.
+
+ To the extent permission to make copies of a Covered Work is necessary
+ merely for running it, such permission is not terminable.
+
+11. Later License Versions
+
+ The Copyleft-Next Project may release new versions of copyleft-next,
+ designated by a distinguishing version number ("Later Versions").
+ Unless I explicitly remove the option of Distributing Covered Works
+ under Later Versions, You may Distribute Covered Works under any Later
+ Version.
+
+** 12. No Warranty **
+** **
+** My Work is provided "as-is", without warranty. You bear the risk **
+** of using it. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each **
+** Distributor of My Work excludes the implied warranties of title, **
+** merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and **
+** non-infringement. **
+
+** 13. Limitation of Liability **
+** **
+** To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will any **
+** Distributor of My Work be liable to You for any damages **
+** whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or **
+** consequential damages, whether arising under contract, tort **
+** (including negligence), or otherwise, even where the Distributor **
+** knew or should have known about the possibility of such damages. **
+
+14. Severability
+
+ The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this License
+ does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of
+ this License. Such provision is to be reformed to the minimum extent
+ necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
+
+15. Definitions
+
+ "Copyleft-Next Project" means the project that maintains the source
+ code repository at <https://github.com/copyleft-next/copyleft-next.git/>
+ as of the release date of this License.
+
+ "Corresponding Source" of a Covered Work in Object Code form means (i)
+ the Source Code form of the Covered Work; (ii) all scripts,
+ instructions and similar information that are reasonably necessary for
+ a skilled developer to generate such Object Code from the Source Code
+ provided under (i); and (iii) a list clearly identifying all Separate
+ Works (other than those provided in compliance with (ii)) that were
+ specifically used in building and (if applicable) installing the
+ Covered Work (for example, a specified proprietary compiler including
+ its version number). Corresponding Source must be machine-readable.
+
+ "Covered Work" means My Work or a Derived Work.
+
+ "Derived Work" means a work of authorship that copies from, modifies,
+ adapts, is based on, is a derivative work of, transforms, translates or
+ contains all or part of My Work, such that copyright permission is
+ required. The following are not Derived Works: (i) Mere Aggregation;
+ (ii) a mere reproduction of My Work; and (iii) if My Work fails to
+ explicitly state an expectation otherwise, a work that merely makes
+ reference to My Work.
+
+ "Distribute" means to distribute, transfer or make a copy available to
+ someone else, such that copyright permission is required.
+
+ "Distributor" means Me and anyone else who Distributes a Covered Work.

+
+ "GPL" means a version of the GNU General Public License or the GNU
+ Affero General Public License.
+
+ "I"/"Me"/"My" refers to the individual or legal entity that places My
+ Work under this License. "You"/"Your" refers to the individual or legal

+ includes each entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under
+ common control with such legal entity. "Control" means (a) the power to
+ direct the actions of such legal entity, whether by contract or
+ otherwise, or (b) ownership of more than fifty percent of the
+ outstanding shares or beneficial ownership of such legal entity.
+
+ "Licensed Patents" means all patent claims licensable royalty-free by
+ Me, now or in the future, that are necessarily infringed by making,
+ using, or selling My Work, and excludes claims that would be infringed
+ only as a consequence of further modification of My Work.
