+*************************************** + + Neither CVS nor this manual is perfect, and they probably never will +be. If you are having trouble using CVS, or think you have found a +bug, there are a number of things you can do about it. Note that if +the manual is unclear, that can be considered a bug in the manual, so +these problems are often worth doing something about as well as +problems with CVS itself. + + * If you want someone to help you and fix bugs that you report, + there are companies which will do that for a fee. Two such + companies are: + + Signum Support AB + Box 2044 + S-580 02 Linkoping + Sweden + Email: info@signum.se + Phone: +46 (0)13 - 21 46 00 + Fax: +46 (0)13 - 21 47 00 + http://www.signum.se/ + + Cyclic Software + United States of America + http://www.cyclic.com/ + info@cyclic.com + + * If you got CVS through a distributor, such as an operating system + vendor or a vendor of freeware CD-ROMs, you may wish to see + whether the distributor provides support. Often, they will provide + no support or minimal support, but this may vary from distributor + to distributor. + + * If you have the skills and time to do so, you may wish to fix the + bug yourself. If you wish to submit your fix for inclusion in + future releases of CVS, see the file HACKING in the CVS source + distribution. It contains much more information on the process of + submitting fixes. + + * There may be resources on the net which can help. Two good places + to start are: + + http://www.cyclic.com + http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html + + If you are so inspired, increasing the information available on + the net is likely to be appreciated. For example, before the + standard CVS distribution worked on Windows 95, there was a web + page with some explanation and patches for running CVS on Windows + 95, and various people helped out by mentioning this page on + mailing lists or newsgroups when the subject came up. + + * It is also possible to report bugs to `bug-cvs'. Note that + someone may or may not want to do anything with your bug + report--if you need a solution consider one of the options + mentioned above. People probably do want to hear about bugs which + are particularly severe in consequences and/or easy to fix, + however. You can also increase your odds by being as clear as + possible about the exact nature of the bug and any other relevant + information. The way to report bugs is to send email to + `bug-cvs@gnu.org'. Note that submissions to `bug-cvs' may be + distributed under the terms of the GNU Public License, so if you + don't like this, don't submit them. There is usually no + justification for sending mail directly to one of the CVS + maintainers rather than to `bug-cvs'; those maintainers who want + to hear about such bug reports read `bug-cvs'. Also note that + sending a bug report to other mailing lists or newsgroups is *not* + a substitute for sending it to `bug-cvs'. It is fine to discuss + CVS bugs on whatever forum you prefer, but there are not + necessarily any maintainers reading bug reports sent anywhere + except `bug-cvs'. + + People often ask if there is a list of known bugs or whether a +particular bug is a known one. The file BUGS in the CVS source +distribution is one list of known bugs, but it doesn't necessarily try +to be comprehensive. Perhaps there will never be a comprehensive, +detailed list of known bugs. + + +File: cvs.info, Node: Copying, Next: Index, Prev: BUGS, Up: Top + +GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE +************************** + + Version 2, June 1991 + + Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software 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 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. + + 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 + +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., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, + Boston, MA 02111-1307, 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. |
