| ACADEMIC PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| version 1.1 | |
| Copyright (c) 2024 MOHAMMAD ALBARHAM | |
| Preamble | |
| This license contains the terms and conditions of using Arabic Story Generator in | |
| noncommercial settings: at academic institutions for teaching and research | |
| use and for personal or educational purposes. You will find that this | |
| license provides noncommercial users of Arabic Story Generator with rights that are | |
| similar to the well-known GNU General Public License, yet it retains the | |
| possibility for Arabic Story Generator authors to financially support the development by | |
| selling commercial licenses. In fact, if you intend to use Arabic Story Generator in a | |
| "for-profit" environment, where research is conducted to develop or enhance | |
| a product, is used in a commercial service offering, or when an entity uses | |
| Arabic Story Generator to participate in government-funded, EU-funded, military or similar | |
| research projects, then you need to obtain a commercial license (OMNEST). | |
| In that case, or if you are unsure, please contact the Author or visit | |
| www.omnest.com to inquire about commercial licenses. | |
| What are the rights given to noncommercial users? Similarly to GPL, you | |
| have the right to use the software, to distribute copies, to receive source | |
| code, to change the software and distribute your modifications or the | |
| modified software. Also similarly to the GPL, if you distribute verbatim or | |
| modified copies of this software, they must be distributed under this | |
| license. | |
| By modeling the GPL, this license guarantees that you're safe when using | |
| Arabic Story Generator in your work, for teaching or research. This license guarantees | |
| that Arabic Story Generator will remain available free of charge for nonprofit use. You | |
| can modify Arabic Story Generator to your purposes, and you can also share your modifications. | |
| Even in the unlikely case of the authors abandoning Arabic Story Generator entirely, this | |
| license permits anyone to continue developing it from the last release, and | |
| to create further releases under this license. | |
| We believe that the combination of noncommercial open-source and commercial | |
| licensing will be beneficial for the whole user community, because income from | |
| commercial licenses will enable faster development and a higher level of | |
| software quality, while further enjoying the informal, open communication | |
| and collaboration channels of open source development. | |
| The precise terms and conditions for using, copying, distribution and | |
| modification follow. | |
| ACADEMIC PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |
| 0. Definitions | |
| "Program" means a copy of Arabic Story Generator, which is said to be distributed under | |
| this Academic Public License. | |
| "Work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work | |
| under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a | |
| portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into | |
| another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation | |
| in the term "modification".) | |
| "Using the Program" means any act of creating executables that contain or | |
| directly use libraries that are part of the Program, running any of the | |
| tools that are part of the Program, or creating works based on the Program. | |
| Each licensee is addressed as "you". | |
| 1. Permission is hereby granted to use the Program free of charge for | |
| noncommercial purposes, including teaching and academic research at | |
| universities, colleges and other educational institutions and personal | |
| non-profit purposes. For using the Program for commercial purposes, | |
| including but not restricted to consulting activities, design of commercial | |
| hardware or software networking products, and joint research with a | |
| commercial entity, government-funded, EU-funded, military or similar | |
| research projects, you have to contact the Author or visit www.omnest.com | |
| for an appropriate license. Permission is also granted to use the Program | |
| for a reasonably limited period of time for the purpose of evaluating its | |
| usefulness for a particular purpose. | |
| 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | |
| source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | |
| conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | |
| copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | |
| notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | |
| and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | |
| along with the Program. | |
| 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | |
| of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 2 | |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
| 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. | |
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | |
| and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
| themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
| sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
| distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
| on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
| this License, whose regulations for other licensees extend to the | |
| entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | |
| (If the same, independent sections are distributed as part of a package | |
| that is otherwise reliant on, or is based on the Program, then the | |
| distribution of the whole package, including but not restricted to the | |
| independent section, must be on the unmodified terms of this License, | |
| regadless of who the author of the included sections was.) | |
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | |
| your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
| exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
| collective works based or reliant on the Program. | |
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | |
| with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | |
| storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
| the scope of this License. | |
| 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | |
| under Section 3) in object code or executable form under the terms of | |
| Sections 2 and 3 above provided that you also do one of the following: | |
| a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | |
| source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | |
| 2 and 3 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 2 and 3 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.) | |
| The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
| making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | |
| code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | |
| associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | |
| control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | |
| special exception, the source code distributed need not include | |
| anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | |
| form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | |
| operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | |
| itself accompanies the executable. | |
| If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | |
| access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | |
| access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | |
| distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
| 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | |
| except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | |
| otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | |
| void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | |
| However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | |
| this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | |
| parties remain in full compliance. | |
| 6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | |
| signed it. Nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute | |
| the Program or its derivative works; law prohibits these actions | |
| if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing | |
| the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your | |
| acceptance of this License and all its terms and conditions for copying, | |
| distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it, to do so. | |
| 7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | |
| Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
| original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | |
| these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
| restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
| You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | |
| this License. | |
| 8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
| conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
| excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
| distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
| may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | |
| license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | |
| all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
| the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | |
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | |
| any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | |
| apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | |
| circumstances. | |
| 9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program are restricted in | |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
| original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | |
| may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | |
| those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | |
| countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | |
| the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |
| NO WARRANTY | |
| 10. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | |
| FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | |
| OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | |
| PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED | |
| OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | |
| MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS | |
| TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE | |
| PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, | |
| REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
| 11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED ON IN WRITING | |
| WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | |
| REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | |
| INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING | |
| OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED | |
| TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY | |
| YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER | |
| PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | |
| POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
