I recently received a license from steam to redistribute the bootstrap, and modify it where required. I want to share it and ask everyones opinion on if I could go ahead and move it back into the repos, or if I should wait until the amd64 version is released.[1]
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE ENTIRE FOLLOWING LICENSE AGREEMENT BEFORE
INSTALLING THIS SOFTWARE
PROGRAM. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS IMPORTANT TERMS THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL
RIGHTS. BY INSTALLING
THE SOFTWARE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE
TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE PROGRAM.
The software application(s) (the “Program”) is the copyrighted work of Valve
Corporation
(“Valve”) or its suppliers. All rights reserved, except as expressly stated
herein. The
Program is provided solely for installation by end users according to the terms
of this License
Agreement, except as provided below regarding permitted redistributions. All
use of the Program
is governed by the terms of the Steam subscriber agreement located at
www.steampowered.com/agreement (the “Steam Agreement”), as such terms may be
updated from time
to time, which terms are incorporated into this License Agreement by this
reference. Any use,
reproduction or redistribution of the Program not in accordance with the terms
of the License
Agreement and the Steam Agreement is expressly prohibited. LICENSE AGREEMENT
1. Grant of Licenses.
A. Personal Use Limited Installation License. Valve hereby grants, and by
installing the Program
you thereby accept, a limited, non-exclusive license and right to install one
(1) copy of the
Program on each of your computers solely for your personal use.
B. Limited Redistribution License. Valve hereby grants, and you accept, a
limited, terminable,
non-exclusive license to reproduce and distribute an unlimited number of copies
of the Program;
provided that the following conditions are met:
1. you must distribute the Program in its entirety;
2. you may not modify the Program, except that, in the case of the Linux
version of the
Program, you may modify scripts and other documentary and graphical files,
but not any files
containing the term “bootstrap” in the file name, provided that you do not
modify any icons,
change any copyright or other notices, or alter this or any other license
agreement that is
included with the Program, and provided further that any modifications you
make are
identified by you as modifications from the original Program provided by
Valve;
3. you may repackage the Program and distribute it with another software
program, provided
that you do not integrate the Program in any way with that other software
program, or
combine the Program with that other software program in a manner that would
require you to
distribute the Program under any open source or other license terms
different from these
terms. 4. you may not charge any separate fee or receive any compensation
attributable to
the Program;
5. you must include this License Agreement provided with the Program and
ensure that it will
display and be required to be accepted by the end user in the same manner
as is required by
the Program in the form received by you; and
6. you must preserve in all copies of the Program all copyright and legal
notices that are
attached to the copy of the Program received by you.
C. Restrictions/Reservation of Rights. Except as expressly set forth
elsewhere in this License
Agreement, you may not, in whole or in part: copy, photocopy, reproduce,
translate, reverse
engineer (with the exception of specific circumstances where such act is
permitted by law),
derive source code from, modify, disassemble, decompile, or create derivative
works based on the
Program; remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Program; or attempt in
any manner to
circumvent any security measures designed to control access to the Program. You
may not package
the Program with, or pre-install the Program on, any hardware, without
obtaining a separate
license from us. The Program is licensed to you as a single product. Its
component parts may
not be separated for use on more than one computer. You may not sell, grant a
security interest
in, rent, lease or license the Program to others without the prior written
consent of Valve. The
Program is licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in
the Program or
copies thereof.
2. Ownership. All title, ownership rights and intellectual
property rights in and
to the Program and any and all copies thereof (including but not limited to
any titles,
computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories,
dialog, catch phrases,
locations, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions,
audio-visual
effects, methods of operation, moral rights, any related documentation, and
“applets”
incorporated into the Program) are owned by Valve or its licensors. The
Program is
protected by the copyright laws of the United States, international
copyright treaties and
conventions and other laws. All rights are reserved. The Program contains
certain licensed
materials and Valve’s licensors may protect their rights in the event of
any violation of
this Agreement.
3. Termination. This License Agreement is effective until
terminated. You may
terminate the License Agreement at any time by destroying the Program. We
may terminate
your rights set forth in Section 1.B. of this License Agreement at any time
upon notice to
you. This License Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event
that you fail to
comply with the terms and conditions contained herein. In such event, you
must immediately
destroy the Program. The provisions of Sections 2, 3, and 5-7 will survive
any termination
of the Agreement.
4. Export Controls. The Program may not be re-exported, downloaded
or otherwise
exported into (or to a national or resident of) any country to which the
U.S. has embargoed
goods, or to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially
Designated Nationals
or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders. By installing
the Program, you
are agreeing to the foregoing and you are representing and warranting that
you are not
located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such
country or on any
such list.
5. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; NO GUARANTEES.
DISCLAIMERS OF
WARRANTY AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE STEAM AGREEMENT,
AND/OR ELSEWHERE IN
THE STEAM AGREEMENT, APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE PROGRAM. AS NOTED IN THE
STEAM AGREEMENT, FOR
EU CUSTOMERS, SUCH PROVISIONS DO NOT REDUCE YOUR MANDATORY CONSUMERS’
RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS
OF YOUR LOCAL JURISDICTION.
6. Warranties/Indemnities Relating to Redistribution. If you choose
to redistribute
the Program, you represent and warrant that any modifications you make to
the Program, if
any, and your particular combination of the Program with any other software
or hardware, do
not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights. You agree to
defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Valve, its licensors, and its and their
affiliates from all
liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that arise
from or in
connection with your redistribution of the Program or your breach of this
License Agreement.
Valve reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive
defense and control of
any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. In that event, you
shall have no
further obligation to provide indemnification to Valve in that matter.
7. Miscellaneous. Provisions relating to applicable law and
jurisdiction, and dispute
resolution, set forth in the Steam Agreement shall apply to any disputes
arising under this
Agreement. This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement terms
incorporated herein may be
amended, altered or modified at any time by Valve in Valve’s sole
discretion. In the event
that any provision of this License Agreement shall be held by a court or
other tribunal of
competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision will be enforced
to the maximum
extent permissible and the remaining portions of this License Agreement
shall remain in full
force and effect. This License Agreement and the Steam Agreement constitute
and contain the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersede
any prior oral or written agreements.
You hereby acknowledge that you have read and understand the foregoing License
Agreement and
agree that the action of installing the Program is an acknowledgment of your
agreement to be
bound by the terms and conditions of the License Agreement contained herein,
including the Steam
Agreement.
Thanks
