Synesis Software Standard Source License (SSSSL) |
Last Updated: 6th November 2006 |
The Synesis Software Standard Source License (SSSSL) provides software source code to the development community free-of-charge, providing that any user does not claim ownership, nor charge for this software, for inclusion in commercial and non-commercial software developments. No warranties of any kind are provided.
The SSSSL is similar to the post-22nd July 1999 modified version of the BSD license, but applies to source code only and does not, therefore, require any accompanying license information to any products built using such source code. In this sense the SSSL is equivalent to the SSSPL without clause (ii).

To use the SSSSL, include in a prominent place (such as the start of the source file) the license template given below, substituting the date for DATE, your name or organisation (or both) for PROVIDER and, optionally, your contact information (usually email and web-address) for CONTACT. In using this license you are granting users the right to use and modify the software, but it remains in all forms and at all times your property as the original provider.

This source code is provided by PROVIDER "as is" and any warranties, whether expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are disclaimed. In no event shall the PROVIDER be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or services; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption) however caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract, strict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising in any way out of the use of this software, even if advised of the possibility of such damage.
