+
+ The stub which is imbedded in each UPX compressed program is part

+
+ As a special exception we grant the free usage of UPX for all

+==========================
+
+ UPX and the UCL library are free software; you can redistribute them
+ and/or modify them under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
+ published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of
+ the License, or (at your option) any later version.

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