Here + is a summary of which licenses apply to which parts of this package: + + - liblzma is under the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD). + + - The command line tools xz, xzdec, lzmadec, and lzmainfo are + under 0BSD except that, on systems that don't have a usable + getopt_long, GNU getopt_long is compiled and linked in from the + 'lib' directory. The getopt_long code is under GNU LGPLv2.1+. + + - The scripts to grep, diff, and view compressed files have been + adapted from GNU gzip. These scripts (xzgrep, xzdiff, xzless, + and xzmore) are under GNU GPLv2+. The man pages of the scripts + are under 0BSD; they aren't based on the man pages of GNU gzip. + + - Most of the XZ Utils specific documentation that is in + plain text files (like README, INSTALL, PACKAGERS, NEWS, + and ChangeLog) are under 0BSD unless stated otherwise in + the file itself. The files xz-file-format.txt and + lzma-file-format.xt are in the public domain but may + be distributed under the terms of 0BSD too. + + - Translated messages and man pages are under 0BSD except that + some old translations are in the public domain. + + - Test files and test code in the 'tests' directory, and + debugging utilities in the 'debug' directory are under + the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD). + + - The GNU Autotools based build system contains files that are + under GNU GPLv2+, GNU GPLv3+, and a few permissive licenses. + These files don't affect the licensing of the binaries being + built. + + - The 'extra' directory contains files that are under various + free software licenses. These aren't built or installed as + part of XZ Utils. + + For the files under the BSD Zero Clause License (0BSD), if + a copyright notice is needed, the following is sufficient: + + Copyright (C) The XZ Utils authors and contributors + + If you copy significant amounts of 0BSD-licensed code from XZ Utils + into your project, acknowledging this somewhere in your software is + polite (especially if it is proprietary, non-free software), but + it is not legally required by the license terms. Here is an example + of a good notice to put into "about box" or into documentation: + + This software includes code from XZ Utils <https://tukaani.org/xz/>. + + The following license texts are included in the following files: + - COPYING.0BSD: BSD Zero Clause License + - COPYING.LGPLv2.1: GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 + - COPYING.GPLv2: GNU General Public License version 2 + - COPYING.GPLv3: GNU General Public License version 3 + + A note about old XZ Utils releases: + + XZ Utils releases 5.4.6 and older and 5.5.1alpha have a + significant amount of code put into the public domain and + that obviously remains so. The switch from public domain to + 0BSD for newer releases was made in Febrary 2024 because + public domain has (real or perceived) legal ambiguities in + some jurisdictions. + + There is very little *practical* difference between public + domain and 0BSD. The main difference likely is that one + shouldn't claim that 0BSD-licensed code is in the public + domain; 0BSD-licensed code is copyrighted but available under + an extremely permissive license. Neither 0BSD nor public domain + require retaining or reproducing author, copyright holder, or + license notices when distributing the software. (Compare to, + for example, BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License which does have + such requirements.) + + If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask for more information. + The contact information is in the README file. +
