68 SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR COMPRESSED EXECUTABLES
69 ============================================
71 The stub which is imbedded in each UPX compressed program is part
72 of UPX and UCL, and contains code that is under our copyright. The
73 terms of the GNU General Public License still apply as compressing
74 a program is a special form of linking with our stub.
76 Hereby Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer and Laszlo Molnar grant you special
77 permission to freely use and distribute all UPX compressed programs
78 (including commercial ones), subject to the following restrictions:
80 1. You must compress your program with a completely unmodified UPX
81 version; either with our precompiled version, or (at your option)
82 with a self compiled version of the unmodified UPX sources as
84 2. This also implies that the UPX stub must be completely unmodfied, i.e.
85 the stub imbedded in your compressed program must be byte-identical
86 to the stub that is produced by the official unmodified UPX version.
87 3. The decompressor and any other code from the stub must exclusively get
88 used by the unmodified UPX stub for decompressing your program at
89 program startup. No portion of the stub may get read, copied,
90 called or otherwise get used or accessed by your program.
96 - You can use a modified UPX version or modified UPX stub only for
97 programs that are compatible with the GNU General Public License.
99 - We grant you special permission to freely use and distribute all UPX
100 compressed programs. But any modification of the UPX stub (such as,
101 but not limited to, removing our copyright string or making your
102 program non-decompressible) will immediately revoke your right to
103 use and distribute a UPX compressed program.
105 - UPX is not a software protection tool; by requiring that you use
106 the unmodified UPX version for your proprietary programs we
107 make sure that any user can decompress your program. This protects
108 both you and your users as nobody can hide malicious code -
109 any program that cannot be decompressed is highly suspicious
112 - You can integrate all or part of UPX and UCL into projects that
113 are compatible with the GNU GPL, but obviously you cannot grant
114 any special exceptions beyond the GPL for our code in your project.
116 - We want to actively support manufacturers of virus scanners and
117 similar security software. Please contact us if you would like to
118 incorporate parts of UPX or UCL into such a product.
