What it means:
Please note that I am not a lawyer, and that this is not legal advice. Lawyers wrote the above license, but I wrote this description. While I have tried to make this information correct to the best of my knowledge, I cannot guarantee its accuracy.
Here is a general list of things you are allowed to do:
- Use the program if you have a copy.
- Give copies of the program to other people, provided you do not remove the license notices.
- Modify the program and include your own modifications in copies, provided you do not remove the license notices.
- Charge money for copies, whether you modify them or not.
- Use small portions of code from this program (the FSF's guideline is 15 lines or less) in your own program with no restrictions.
- Use significant portions of code from this program in your own programs, provided you put a copy of the license into each file of source code that uses mine, and include a copy of the license in the About box or help file (or in the manual, if it's a boxed product).
- Use your own licensing terms for modified versions or your own programs, given that you include a copy of the license as a record of what gave you permission to do so. The copy of the license does not have to apply to your modifications or any of your code if you don't want it to.
- Give other people the same rights to the program under the same license if you want to. You don't need to include a second license notice if you don't modify the original notice, or if your only modification to the original notice is to add names or years to the copyright line. The copyright notice should be altered if and only if you have modified the program and want your changes to be under the same license.
- If you intend to release modifications under the same license, please consider contributing your changes back to the original project as a patch, so that other users may benifit. Note, however, that doing so is not a requirement of the license.
Here is a general list of things you are not allowed to do:
- Distribute any significant part of the program without including a copy of the license with my name.
- Sue me.
Please note that if you are the SWORD plugin, you must comply with the GNU General Public License (GPL) in addition to the MIT/X11 license. A FAQ about the GPL can be found here. The same may apply if it is using a version of Qt licensed under the GPL. To remove (at least some of) the Qt restrictions, you can either use a version under the QPL or buy a commercial license. Note that even under the QPL your program and/or modifications must be open source to use Qt. Only the commercial license lacks this restriction.
