INTRODUCTION

 

The Common UNIX Printing System(tm), ("CUPS(tm)"), is provided

under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") and GNU Library

General Public License ("LGPL"), Version 2, with exceptions for

Apple operating systems and the OpenSSL toolkit. A copy of the

exceptions and licenses follow this introduction.

 

The GNU LGPL applies to the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries

located in the "cups" and "filter" subdirectories of the CUPS

source distribution and in the "cups" include directory and

library files in the binary distributions. The GNU GPL applies to

the remainder of the CUPS distribution, including the "pdftops"

filter which is based upon Xpdf.

 

For those not familiar with the GNU GPL, the license basically

allows you to:

 

  - Use the CUPS software at no charge.

  - Distribute verbatim copies of the software in source or

    binary form.

  - Sell verbatim copies of the software for a media fee, or

    sell support for the software.

 

What this license *does not* allow you to do is make changes or

add features to CUPS and then sell a binary distribution without

source code. You must provide source for any changes or additions

to the software, and all code must be provided under the GPL or

LGPL as appropriate. The only exceptions to this are the portions

of the CUPS software covered by the Apple operating system

license exceptions outlined later in this license agreement.

 

The GNU LGPL relaxes the "link-to" restriction, allowing you to

develop applications that use the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries

under other licenses and/or conditions as appropriate for your
