8 SUMMARY
9 *iccf* *ICCF*
10 Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
11 encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see |kcc|
12 below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs:
14 http://iccf-holland.org/
15 http://www.vim.org/iccf/
16 http://www.iccf.nl/
18 You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for
19 features. See |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
21 The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see
22 |manual-copyright|.
24 === begin of license ===
26 VIM LICENSE
28 I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except
29 that they must include this license text. You can also distribute
30 unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must
31 include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables
32 that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage
33 examples and Vim scripts.
35 II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim,
36 including executables and/or source code, when the following four
37 conditions are met:
38 1) This license text must be included unmodified.
39 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:
40 a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in
41 the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you
42 (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you
43 must make your changes, including source code, available to the
44 maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to
45 include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the
46 maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they
47 will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation
48 then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes.
49 The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this
50 changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely
51 vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely
52 impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him
53 your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has
54 received your changes they will not have to be sent again.
55 b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as
56 mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
57 unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the
58 text under a) applies to those changes.
59 c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
60 the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a
61 context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you
62 add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from
63 making their own changes to the official version of Vim.
64 d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned
65 under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the
66 changes if the following three conditions are met:
67 - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
68 the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
69 permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
70 version of Vim without fee or restriction.
71 - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
72 distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer
73 or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in
74 any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them
75 available to him.
76 - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This
77 contact information must remain valid for at least three years
78 after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long
79 as possible.
80 e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
81 you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or
82 any later version.
83 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
84 command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim
85 is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned
86 under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does
87 not conflict with the license used for the changes.
88 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
89 removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
90 corrections.
92 III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use
93 the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
94 maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is
95 by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL.
96 If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
97 context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is
98 <maintainer@vim.org>
100 IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim
101 sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this
102 license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came
103 with, at your option.
105 === end of license ===
107 Note:
109 - If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this
110 file and consider helping needy children in Uganda.
112 - If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a
113 |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
115 - According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.
116 A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not
117 make a difference.
119 - If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits
120 further distribution to the GNU GPL. Also when you didn't actually change
121 anything in Vim.
123 - Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all
124 further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
126 - If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and
127 contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the
128 MODIFIED_BY define.
130 ==============================================================================
131 Kibaale Children's Centre *kcc* *Kibaale* *charity*
133 Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the
134 south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa. The area is known as Rakai
135 District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there
136 is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other
137 part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10
138 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are
139 many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both
140 parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing.
142 The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy
143 with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them
144 healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the
145 future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any
146 religion.
148 The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been
149 neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil
150 wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have
151 to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is
152 also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to
153 prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food.
155 Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older
156 sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income
157 (if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical
158 care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a
159 sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted.
160 For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable
161 items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that
162 needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it.
164 Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up
165 needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods.
166 There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given.
167 Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and
168 households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a
169 production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine.
170 They are sold below cost price.
172 There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their
173 family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered.
174 Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is
175 breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem).
176 *donate*
177 Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a
178 volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water
179 and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps.
180 When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this
181 I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one
182 of these possibilities:
184 1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more).
185 2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more).
186 3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter
187 4. A one-time donation
189 Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are
190 very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than
191 5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small
192 organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a
193 child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year.
195 How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my
196 personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working
197 at the centre, I know them personally. Further more, the centre is
198 co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and
199 International Child Care Fund. The centre is visited about once a year to
200 check the progress (at our own cost). I have visited the centre myself in
201 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003. The visit reports are on the ICCF web site.
203 If you have any further questions, send me e-mail: <Bram@vim.org>.
