Hat copyright information

Development of the Hat tracing system was mainly funded by the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, grant number EPSRC GR/M81953. The University of York, University of Kent, RWTH Aachen, and Microsoft Research (Cambridge) also contributed.

The hat-trans tool is partly based on the front end of the nhc98 compiler, and those parts are copyright © Niklas Röjemo, 1991-1998. Parts are also based on earlier work on tracing transformations, copyright © Jan Sparud and Colin Runciman, 1996-1997.

The Hat tools are distributed under the terms of the licence detailed below. If you link the Hat tools with the gtk+ library glib, you should know that glib is governed by the LGPL.

Some code from the libraries is copied directly from the Haskell hierarchical libraries base package, which is © copyright the University of Glasgow, 2001-2004 and was originally distributed under a separate BSD-style licence.

LICENCE

Definition:

"this software" = any software which is distributed under the conditions of this licence.
"small number of modules" = less than 10% of any one program

It is the intention that this software be "freely available" in the Gnu (http://www.gnu.org/) and Open Source (http://www.opensource.org/) traditions. The following is a brief statement of the rights and restrictions attached to this software distribution. This is version 2 of the licence, and governs this copy of the software. We may publish modified terms and conditions at a later date, and if you wish, you may apply any successor licence (when published), or the GNU GPL, to this software as an alternative to the current terms. (Note that if you convert your copy of the licence to the GPL, you will not be able to convert it back later, and nor can anyone who receives a copy from you.)

If you are not sure about any of the terms of this licence, please contact us to discuss your requirements. (Primary contact: Malcolm.Wallace@cs.york.ac.uk)

You may use, re-distribute, and modify this software, in whole or in part, in source or binary form, but you must include without alteration all the relevant copyright notices. (You may of course remove a copyright notice pertaining to a piece of software no longer included in your distribution.) You may add your own additional copyright notices for any modifications or additions to this software that you distribute. If you distribute a modified version, you must also provide corresponding source code for it; any modifications must be described in the documentation; and you must clearly indicate that the software has been modified, for instance by changing the name of the executable or its version number, or by some other method.

You must not restrict anyone else's rights to use, re-distribute or modify this software. Distributions of standard or modified versions of this software must retain this licence (or its successor), or at your choice, be distributed instead under the GNU GPL.

In addition, you are explicitly granted the right to re-use a small number of modules of this software in the creation of a new program which does not perform substantially the same task as this software, for instance, by re-using a parser but not the entire compiler. In such a case, you are not forced to place the new software under this or any other licence, but you must ensure that:

you clearly acknowledge which code you have re-used from this software,
you retain the relevant copyright notices, and
if you distribute the new software, you indicate to recipients where they can freely obtain a standard version of this original software.

Object files, intermediate files, and trace files, produced as output by this software do not fall under this copyright statement and are not governed by the terms of this licence. You are free to use them (or restrict their use) as you like. However, the inclusion of Hat's runtime system (libHSHat.a) in a resulting executable, means that you may not distribute that executable except under the terms of this licence. (We can't see any reason why anyone would want to distribute a traced version of their program anyway - but if this is a problem for you, contact us. Also, you should check carefully the licence of any other library you use in your traced program, whether supplied together with this software or not.)

UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, THIS SOFTWARE IS SUPPLIED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER THE AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT HOLDERS, NOR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO REDISTRIBUTES THIS SOFTWARE SHALL BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES, HOWSOEVER CAUSED, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
