This file desribes licensing of the ispell-uk project. For the general
information of the ispell-uk please  refer to the README file. For the
information on  the installation of ispell-uk please  refer to INSTALL
file.

ispell-uk  was originally  based  on the  work  UA-ISPELL by  Vladimir
Yakovchuk  and   Oleg  Podgurniy  (dnepr@sabbo.net,  dnepr@nmn.km.ua).
Licensing of  UA-ISPELL was not very  clear and I  have contacted both
authors with query about possibility to change licensing to one of the
GPL/LGPL   or   another  widely   recognized   Open  Source   License.
Unfortunately after receiving some  kind of confirmation from Vladimir
contact with him  was lost.  Asnwer was along the  lines (for those of
readers who  can't read Ukrainian):  "Please use whatever  license you
like, I don't want to get  involved in legal issues". After this I was
not  able  to  get  more  clear  answer and  mails  to  Vladimir  went
unanswered.

Sourceforge  based  project  was  formed  later and  license  for  the
ispell-uk was  selected to  be GPL.   Later on to  be able  to include
ispell-uk  into  some closed  sourced  projects  (like, for  instance,
StarOffice, etc.)   team has agreed to distribute  ispell-uk under two
licenses GPL and LGPL.

In its current state ispell-uk is ditributed under dual licenses GPL
and LGPL.

You receive  copies of  GPL and LGPL  licences with  this distribution
(files GPL  and LGPL accordingly). Unoficial  Ukrainian translation of
GPL is  also included (file  GPL.uk). Also the original  license under
which   UA-ISPELL  version   0.0.2b  was   released  is   included  in
LICENSE-0.0.2b file.

    Here's quoted  some mailing between Dmytro  Kovalyov and Yakovchuk
    Vladimir (and possibly others)  concerning licensing issues of the
    ispell-uk.

I'll try to shed some light on the subject. Most communication on the 
subject of licensing of ispell-uk was not on the maillist, so there are 
no archives.

Basically all said is correct. I am just attaching several mail 
exchanges between myself and Vladimir Yakovchuk including my very 
last email to him on the subject of licensing and cooperation in the 
developing of ispell. This is not full correspondence - just some 
excerpts.

I think all these should be included into the documentation of the 
project to clarify all the questions.

  Rysin> discussion on this issue (sorry it was before maillist was
  Rysin> active) we had switched the project to GPL and started to work.
  Rysin> We respect the work and copyrights of the original authors -

    Translations of the GPL
 
   These translations are not official. Legally speaking, the
   original (English) version of the GPL is what specifies the
   actual distribution terms for GNU programs.
 
   The reason the FSF does not approve these translations as
   officially valid is that checking them would be difficult
   and expensive (needing the help of bilingual lawyers in
   other countries). Even worse, if an error did slip through,
   the results could be disastrous for the whole free software
   community. As long as the translations are unofficial, they
   can't do any harm, and we hope they help more people
   understand the GPL.
 
   We give permission to publish translations of the GPL,
   GFDL, or LGPL into other languages, provided that you (1)
   label your translations as unofficial (see below for how to
   do this), to inform people that they do not count legally
   as substitutes for the authentic version, and (2) you agree
   to install changes at our request, if we learn from other
   friends of GNU that changes are necessary to make the
   translation clearer.
 
   To label your translations as unofficial we want you to add
   the following text at the beginning, both in English and in
   the language of the translation---replacing language with
   the name of that language:
 
     This is an unofficial translation of the GNU General
     Public License into language. It was not published by
     the Free Software Foundation, and does not legally state
     the distribution terms for software that uses the GNU
     GPL--only the original English text of the GNU GPL does
     that. However, we hope that this translation will help
     language speakers understand the GNU GPL better.
