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.
