Advice on Distributing AGNIS
& IE-SPYAD
As noted above, IE-SPYAD and AGNIS are distributed under the terms of the Gnu General Public License, a copy of which is online
HERE.
That license gives you broad rights to modify and distribute AGNIS
and IE-SPYAD, but in order to exercise those rights, you must abide by the terms of the license. At a minimum, to distribute,
modify, or distribute modified versions of IE-SPYAD and AGNIS under the terms of the GPL:
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.)
Furthermore, you must:
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.)
Since the IE-SPYAD and AGNIS lists do not consist of binary code, the following would be sufficient:
1) Include a notice somewhere in the installation stating the following:
This program makes use of a modified version of the IE-SPYAD/AGNIS
block list, which is available from:
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/resource.htm
IE-SPYAD/AGNIS is (C) Copyright 2000-2005 Eric L. Howes.
IE-SPYAD/AGNIS 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, or (at your option) any later version.
IE-SPYAD/AGNIS 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 can obtain a copy of the GNU General Public License from the Free Software Foundation online:
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl.txt
2) Include something like above notice in the ReadMe as well.
In fact, you could include the above notice with any other
acknowledgements and "thank you's" in your standard
documentation.
3) Make a plain text version of the list available
If you've embedded the IE-SPYAD or AGNIS list in a binary program,
make a separate plain text version of the list (including your own
additions and modifications to the basic list) publicly available either on your web site
or with the program itself.
