+Terms and Conditions for the use of the Netwide Assembler
+
+
+=========================================================
+
+
+
+
+
+Can I have the gist without reading the legalese?
+
+
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+
+
+
+
+Basically, NASM is free. You can't charge for it. You can copy it as
+
+
+much as you like. You can incorporate it, or bits of it, into other
+
+
+free programs if you want. (But we want to know about it if you do,
+
+
+and we want to be mentioned in the credits.) We may well allow you
+
+
+to incorporate it into commercial software too, but we'll probably
+
+
+demand some money for it, and we'll certainly demand to be given
+
+
+credit. And in extreme cases (although I can't immediately think of
+
+
+a reason we might actually want to do this) we may refuse to let you
+
+
+do it at all.

+

+
+
+NASM LICENCE AGREEMENT
+
+
+======================
+
+
+
+
+
+By "the Software" this licence refers to the complete contents of
+
+
+the NASM archive, excluding this licence document itself, and
+
+
+excluding the contents of the `test' directory. The Netwide
+
+
+Disassembler, NDISASM, is specifically included under this licence.
+
+
+
+
+
+I. The Software is freely redistributable; anyone may copy the
+
+
+Software, or parts of the Software, and give away as many copies as
+
+
+they like to anyone, as long as this licence document is kept with
+
+
+the Software. Charging a fee for the Software is prohibited,
+
+
+although a fee may be charged for the act of transferring a copy,
+
+
+and you can offer warranty protection and charge a fee for that.
+
+
+
+
+
+II. The Software, or parts thereof, may be incorporated into other
+
+
+freely redistributable software (by which we mean software that may
+
+
+be obtained free of charge) without requiring permission from the
+
+
+authors, as long as due credit is given to the authors of the
+
+
+Software in the resulting work, as long as the authors are informed
+
+
+of this action if possible, and as long as those parts of the
+
+
+Software that are used remain under this licence.
+
+
+
+
+
+III. Modified forms of the Software may be created and distributed
+
+
+as long as the authors are informed of this action if possible, as
+
+
+long as the resulting work remains under this licence, as long as
+
+
+the modified form of the Software is distributed with documentation
+
+
+which still gives credit to the original authors of the Software,
+
+
+and as long as the modified form of the Software is distributed with
+
+
+a clear statement that it is not the original form of the Software
+
+
+in the form that it was distributed by the authors.
+
+
+
+
+
+IV. The Software, or parts thereof, may be incorporated into other
+
+
+software which is not freely redistributable (i.e. software for
+
+
+which a fee is charged), as long as permission is granted from the
+
+
+authors of the Software. The authors reserve the right to grant this
+
+
+permission only for a fee, which may at our option take the form of
+
+
+royalty payments. The authors also reserve the right to refuse to
+
+
+grant permission if they deem it necessary. For further information
+
+
+about who exactly the authors are, see clause XI below.
+
+
+
+
+
+V. The Software may be incorporated, in its original archive form,
+
+
+into software collections or archives which are not freely
+
+
+redistributable, as long as it is clearly stated that the Software
+
+
+itself remains freely redistributable and remains under this licence
+
+
+and no other. Such collections are deemed not to fall under article
+
+
+IV of this licence.
+
+
+
+
+
+VI. Object files or programs generated by the Software as output do
+
+
+not fall under this licence at all, and may be placed under any
+
+
+licence the author wishes. The authors explicitly lay no claim to,
+
+
+and assert no rights over, any programs written by other people and
+
+
+assembled into object form by the Software.
+
+
+
+
+
+VII. You may not copy, modify or distribute the Software except
+
+
+under the terms given in this licence document. You may not
+
+
+sublicense the Software or in any way place it under any other
+
+
+licence than this one. Since you have not signed this licence, you
+
+
+are not of course required to accept it; however, no other licence
+
+
+applies to the Software, and nothing else grants you any permission
+
+
+to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Software in any way.
+
+
+These actions are therefore prohibited if you do not accept this
+
+
+licence.
+
+
+
+
+
+VIII. There is no warranty for the Software, to the extent permitted
+
+
+by applicable law. The authors provide the Software "as is" without
+
+
+warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not
+
+
+limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for
+
+
+a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and
+
+
+performance of the Software is with you. Should the Software prove
+
+
+defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or
+
+
+correction.
+
+
+
+
+
+IX. In no event, unless required by applicable law or agreed to in
+
+
+writing, will any of the authors be liable to you for damages,
+
+
+including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages,
+
+
+arising out of the use or the inability to use the Software,
+
+
+including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered
+
+
+inaccurate or a failure of the Software to operate with any other
+
+
+programs, even if you have been advised of the possibility of such
+
+
+damages.
+
+
+
+
+
+X. In addition to what this Licence otherwise provides, the Software
+
+
+may be distributed in such a way as to be compliant with the GNU
+
+
+General Public Licence, as published by the Free Software Foundation,
+
+
+Cambridge, MA, USA; version 2, or, at your option, any later version;
+
+
+incorporated herein by reference.  You must include a copy of this
+
+
+Licence with such distribution.  Furthermore, patches sent to the
+
+
+authors for the purpose of inclusion in the official release version
+
+
+are considered cleared for release under the full terms of this
+
+
+Licence.
+
+
+
+
+
+XI. The authors of NASM are the original authors (Simon Tatham and
+
+
+Julian Hall) and all those who the original authors feel have
+
+
+contributed significantly to the overall project.  If you wish to
+
+
+contact the authors, Julian Hall (jules@earthcorp.com) should be your
+
+
+first port of call.
+
+
+
+
+
+XII. Should any part of this agreement be deemed unenforcable, it is
+
+
+intended that the remainder of the agreement be held in force.
+
+
+
+
+
+END OF LICENCE AGREEMENT

bin/nasm/Readme

+This is a distribution of NASM, the Netwide Assembler. NASM is a
+prototype general-purpose x86 assembler. It will currently output
+flat-form binary files, a.out, COFF and ELF Unix object files,
+Microsoft Win32 and 16-bit DOS object files, OS/2 object files, the
+as86 object format, and a home-grown format called RDOFF.
+
+Also included is NDISASM, a prototype x86 binary-file disassembler
+which uses the same instruction table as NASM.
+
+To install NASM on UNIX or Linux, type `./configure', then `make', and
+then either `make install', or copy the file `nasm' (and maybe
+`ndisasm') to a directory on your search path (maybe /usr/local/bin,
+or ~/bin if you don't have root access). You may also want to copy the
+man page `nasm.1' (and maybe `ndisasm.1') to somewhere sensible.  Note
+that source and binaries are also available in RPM format; to install
+an RPM on a system which uses this packaging format (mostly Linux
+distributions) simply do "rpm -Uivh filename.rpm".
+
+To install under DOS, if you don't need to rebuild from the sources,
+you can just copy either nasm.exe and ndisasm.exe (32-bit DOS-extended
+versions), nasmr.exe and ndisasmr.exe (16-bit classical DOS
+executables), or nasmw.exe and ndisasmw.exe (Win32 console
+applications - less likely to run out of memory), to somewhere on your
+PATH.
+
+The 32-bit applications require a DPMI server.  If you're running
+under plain DOS and don't have a DPMI server already, you can get
+CSDPMI from ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/.
+
+To rebuild the DOS sources, various makefiles are provided:
+
+- Makefile.dos, the one I build the standard 16-bit releases from,
+  designed for a hybrid system using Microsoft C and Borland Make
+  (don't ask why :-)
+- Makefile.vc, for Microsoft Visual C++ compiling to a Win32
+  command-line application. This is the one I build the standard
+  Win32 release binaries from.
+
+- Makefile.bor, for Borland C.
+- Makefile.bc2, also for Borland C, contributed by Fox Cutter.
+  Reported to work better than Makefile.bor on some systems.
+
+- Makefile.sc, for Symantec C++, compiling to a 32-bit extended DOS
+  executable.. Contributed by Mark Junker.
+- Makefile.scw, also for Symantec C++, compiling to a Win32 command-
+  line application. Also contributed by Mark Junker.
+
+- Makefile.wc, for Watcom C, compiling to a 32-bit extended DOS
+  executable. Contributed by Dominik Behr.
+- Makefile.wcw, also for Watcom C, compiling to a Win32 command-
+  line application. Also contributed by Dominik Behr.
+
+- Makefile.dj, for DJGPP, compiling to a 32-bit extended DOS
+  executable. Contributed by Dominik Behr.
+
+- Makefile.lcc, for lcc-win32, compiling to a Win32 command line
+  application. (The lcc-win32 compiler and tools are available from
+  http://www.remcomp.com/lcc-win32/)
+
+I can't guarantee that all of those makefiles work, because I don't
+have all of those compilers. However, Makefile.dos and Makefile.vc
+work on my system, and so do Makefile.bor and Makefile.bc2.
+
+Be careful with Borland C: there have been various conflicting
+reports about how reliable the Huge memory model is. If you try to
+compile NASM in Large model, you may get DGROUP overflows due to the
+vast quantity of data in the instruction tables. I've had reports
+from some people that Huge model doesn't work at all (and also
+reports from others that it works fine), so if you don't want to try
+moving to Huge, you could try adding the option `-dc' to the
+compiler command line instead, which causes string literals to be
+moved from DGROUP to the code segments and might make Large model
+start working. (Either solution works for me.)
+
+To rebuild truly from scratch, or to make any changes to insns.dat or
+standard.mac, you need a Perl interpreter installed.  Perl
+interpreters are available for a number of platforms, from:
+
+	http://www.cpan.org/ports/
+
+For DOS you can also get one from:
+
+	ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/
+
+Dominik Behr has also contributed the file misc/pmw.bat, which is a
+batch file to turn the output from Makefile.wc (NASM.EXE and
+NDISASM.EXE) into standalone executables incorporating Tran's
+PMODE/W DOS extender, rather than depending on an external extender
+program.
+
+Some of the Windows makefiles produce executables called nasmw.exe
+and ndisasmw.exe, and some don't. Be prepared for either...
+
+If you want to build a restricted version of NASM containing only
+some of the object file formats, you can achieve this by adding
+#defines to `outform.h' (see the file itself for documentation), or
+equivalently by adding compiler command line options in the
+Makefile.
+
+There is a machine description file for the `LCC' retargetable C
+compiler (version 4.0), in the directory `lcc', along with
+instructions for its use. This means that NASM can now be used as
+the code-generator back end for a useful C compiler.
+
+Michael `Wuschel' Tippach has ported his DOS extender `WDOSX' to
+enable it to work with the 32-bit binary files NASM can output: the
+original extender and his port `WDOSX/N' are available from his web
+page, http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/4493.
+
+Matt Mastracci has written a document explaining how to write
+assembly language modules in DJGPP programs using NASM: it's on his
+web site at http://www.ucalgary.ca/~mmastrac/djgppasm.doc.
+
+The `misc' directory contains `nasm.sl', a NASM editing mode for the
+JED programmers' editor (see http://space.mit.edu/~davis/jed.html
+for details about JED). The comment at the start of the file gives
+instructions on how to install the mode. This directory also
+contains a file (`magic') containing lines to add to /etc/magic on
+Unix systems to allow the `file' command to recognise RDF files, and
+a zip file (`exasm.zip') containing the necessary files for syntax
+highlighting in the Aurora DOS editor. (The Aurora files were
+contributed by <U993847220@aol.com>; I haven't tested them as I
+don't have Aurora.)
+
+The `rdoff' directory contains sources for a linker and loader for
+the RDF object file format, to run under Linux, and also
+documentation on the internal structure of RDF files.
+
+For information about how you can distribute and use NASM, see the
+file Licence. We were tempted to put NASM under the GPL, but decided
+that in many ways it was too restrictive for developers.
+
+For release 0.98 and later, the NASM source distribution contains the
+following components:
+
+          Unix                      Windows, OS/2               DOS
+
+          nasm-X.XX.tar.gz          nasm-X.XX.zip               nasmXXXs.zip
+
+          Main archive: Contain all sources you need to build NASM,
+          plus the documentation source code.  If you have a Perl
+          interpreter and (possibly) Winhelp compiler installed, you
+          don't need any additional files.
+
+          nasm-X.XX-xdoc.tar.gz     nasm-X.XX-xdoc.zip          nasmXXXd.zip
+
+          Documentation in HTML, INFO, text, and PostScript format.
+          You can compile these files yourself from the main archive
+          if you have a Perl interpreter installed.
+
+          N/A                       nasm-X.XX-whlp.zip          N/A
+
+          Documentation in Windows help format.  You can compile this
+          file yourself from the main archive if you have a Perl
+          interpreter and a Winhelp compiler installed.
+
+The Unix, Windows-OS/2, and DOS versions differ in the following ways:
+
+The Unix version uses the Unix line ending convention (LF), and long file
+names with upper and lower case.
+
+The Windows-OS/2 version uses the Microsoft line ending convention
+(CR+LF), and long file names with upper and lower case.
+
+The DOS version uses the Microsoft line ending convention (CR+LF),
+with all filenames in 8.3 monocase.
+
+For information about how to use NASM, see the various forms of
+documentation in the `doc' directory: documentation is provided in
+HTML, PostScript, plain text, Texinfo, and Windows Help formats. For
+information about how to use NDISASM, see `ndisasm.doc'. For
+information about the internal structure of NASM, see
+`internal.doc'. (In particular, _please_ read `internal.doc' before
+writing any code for us...)
