human speech

1. Let's talk about some concepts first!


The so-called "license" means that I will allow you to do whatever you want, and I will not allow you to do whatever you want. What are rights, obligations and conditions!

The "licensor" is me and my friends. We made this thing. By the way, I may also be a company.

"Legal entity" refers to institutions, companies and organizations.

"You" is you who want to use my things, or you!

For the purpose of this license, derivative works do not include works that can be separated from this derivative work, or works that are linked (or bound) only through interfaces.



human speech

"Source code" is what you want most, including source code, documents, configuration files, etc.

The "target" form is the product of source code compilation or translation, including executable files, as well as various other formats.
"Work" is this software, with or without source code, but certainly with copyright! (See the example later)

A "derivative work" is something that is created by modifying my work, but you must be original! Those who can be separated should not get involved with me!


EN

human speech

"Contribution" refers to the addition and improvement of this work. Whoever changes it, the copyright will belong to others. It doesn't matter how the contribution is submitted, but if someone specially writes "Not a contribution", they can't ask for it.

"Contributors", my little partner and I are both contributors! Of course, it is my little partner who makes contributions!
