                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2, June 1991

 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

                            Preamble

  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
your programs, too.

  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.

  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.

  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.

  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.

                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    parties under the terms of this License.

    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.

  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    customarily used for software interchange; or,

    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.

  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.

  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.

  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.

  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

                            NO WARRANTY

  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "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 PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it 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.

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
    GNU General Public License for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:

    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
  Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.

ELECTRONIC DICTIONARY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT GROUP
GENERAL DICTIONARY LICENCE STATEMENT

EDRDG Home Page (http://www.edrdg.org/edrdg/index.html)

1. Introduction

In March 2000, James William Breen assigned ownership of the copyright of
the dictionary files assembled, coordinated and edited by him to the The
Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group, then at at Monash
University (hereafter "the Group"), on the understanding that the Group
will foster the development of the dictionary files, and will utilize all
monies received for use of the files for the further development of the
files, and for research into computer lexicography and electronic
dictionaries.

This document outlines the licence arrangement put in place by The Group
for usage of the files. It replaces all previous copyright and licence
statements applying to the files.

2. Application

This licence statement and copyright notice applies to the following
dictionary files, the associated documentation files, and any data files
which are derived from them.

    * JMDICT - Japanese-Multilingual Dictionary File - the Japanese and
      English components (the German, French and Russian translational
      equivalents are covered by separate copyright held by the compilers
      of that material.)
    * EDICT - Japanese-English Electronic DICTionary File
    * ENAMDICT - Japanese Names File
    * COMPDIC - Japanese-English Computing and Telecommunications
      Terminology File
    * KANJIDIC2 - File of Information about the Kanji in JIS X 0208, JIS X
      0212 and JIS X 0213 in XML format.
    * KANJIDIC - File of Information about the 6,355 Kanji in the JIS X
      0208 Standard (special conditions apply)
    * KANJD212 - File of Information about the 5,801 Supplementary Kanji in
      the JIS X 0212 Standard
    * EDICT-R - romanized version of the EDICT file. (NB: this file has
      been withdrawn from circulation, and all sites carrying it are
      requested to remove their copies.)
    * RADKFILE/KRADFILE - files relating to the decomposition of the 6,355
      kanji in JIS X 0208 into their visible components.

Copyright over the documents covered by this statement is held by James
William BREEN and The Electronic Dictionary Research and Development Group.

3. Licence Conditions

The dictionary files are made available under a Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike Licence (V3.0). The Licence Deed can be viewed here
(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/), and the full Licence Code
is here (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode).

In summary (extract from the Licence Deed):
You are free:

    * to Share - to copy, distribute and transmit the work
    * to Remix - to adapt the work 

Under the following conditions:

    * Attribution. You must attribute the work in the manner specified by
      the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they
      endorse you or your use of the work).
    * Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you
      may distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a
      compatible licence. 

For attribution of these files, you must:

   1. in the case of publishing significant extracts of the files, or
      material based on significant extracts of the files, e.g. in a
      published dictionary or in vocabulary lists, clearly acknowledge that
      you used the files for this purpose;
   2. in the case of a software package or WWW server, etc. which uses the
      files or incorporates data from the files, you must:
         1. acknowledge the usage and source of the files in the
            documentation, publicity material, WWW site of the
            package/server, etc.;
         2. provide copies of the documentation and licence files (in the
            case of software packages);
         3. provide links to either local copies of the documentation and
            licence files or to the locations of the files at Monash
            University or at the EDRDG site.

            If a WWW server is providing a dictionary function or an on-
            screen display of words from the files, the acknowledgement
            must be made on each screen display, e.g. in the form of a
            message at the foot of the screen or page.

            For the EDICT, JMdict and KANJIDIC files, the following URLs
            may be used or quoted:
                * http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/edict.html

                * http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/kanjidic.html

See this page (http://www.edrdg.org/edrdg/sample.html) for samples of
possible acknowledgement text.

Note that in all cases, the addition of material to the files or to
extracts from the files does not remove or in any way diminish the Group's
copyright over the files.

Note also that provided the conditions above are met, there is NO
restriction placed on commercial use of the files. The files can be bundled
with software and sold for whatever the developer wants to charge. Software
using these files does not have to be under any form of open-source licence.

SOD and SODA License Agreement as of July 24, 2007 - 3rd Public Release


PREAMBLE
These diagrams exist because of an enormous effort and at great
personal sacrifice in terms of time and income of several persons.
Ownership of these diagrams is not taken lightly, nor should the
privilege of their free use be taken lightly.  The benefits of using
these diagrams comes with the responsibility of compliance with this
license.  Your responsible use makes future public release of larger
collections tenable.


PLEASE READ: THIS GRANT OF LICENSE HAS CHANGED (3rd LICENSE  VERSION)
Each new public release of diagrams from the SODER project has its own
unique grant of license.  With increasing investments of time and money
into the project, this most recent grant of license intends to make more
clear to the public how to freely use the diagrams while protecting
owner's copyright.  This license applies to the public release of the
archive whose members constitute 1,513 GIF89a formatted stroke order
diagram animations (SODAs) and 1,513 PNG formatted static stroke order
diagrams (SODs).  This release of the 1,513, supplants and replaces the
experimental public release of the first 500 SODs and 500 SODAs created
by the Stroke Order Diagram Editor-Retrographer (SODER), and also
replaces the public release which followed containing 1,000 SODs and
1,000 SODAs. You should completely replace the older sets with this new
one. Many of the 1,000 previously released SODs and 1,000 SODAs have
been reedited and improved.


COMMERCIAL LICENSE NOTICE
Please note that this license does not apply
to PRINT MEDIA or commercial use.  You MUST have a commercial license to
use these diagrams in any product which you will sell or otherwise
financially benefit from.  Rolomail Trading, James Rose, and The Kanji
Cafe specifically reserve the exclusive right to use these diagrams in
books or other printed media sold to the public unless you have explicit
permission, or a commercial license.  Commercial license will be granted
inexpensively, so do not hesitate to inquire.  For example:  Permission
has been granted to one publisher to use no more than 4 of the diagrams
in a book at no cost as the book deals with Japanese teaching methods.
Permission to use 177 of the diagrams was denied to a book author whose
work was devoted to teaching Japanese kanji because he has yet to pursue
a commercial license for use with the book he was writing despite the
book being a commercial project.  If you see these diagrams being used

GRANT OF LICENSE
License is hereby granted to use these 1,513 Stroke
Order Diagrams (SODs) and or 1,513 Stroke Order Diagram Animations
(SODAs) on websites or in offline, non-commercial software such as
free-ware, subject to each of these SIX specific LIMITATIONS:

1. YOU MUST PROVIDE A LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE, or software product which

KanjiCafe.com and it is subsequently on public display.  To have your
website linked to from the license page, and thereby comply with the
license agreement, send the URL of your site or product to "jim (at)
kanjicafe.com".  If you are upgrading from the 2nd public release of
1,000 kanji, you must comply with this limitation (1) before using the
new 1,513 kanji set.

(This provision has been added to help familiarize the public with
products and websites which are make use of the project's SODAs and SODs
in a legal manner, as well as to help promote legal use of the diagrams
and animations in accordance with this license.)

2. All web sites using these Kanji Stroke Order Diagrams or Stroke Order
Diagram Animations must provide a link back to the License page
www.kanjicafe.com/license.htm FROM ANY PAGE DISPLAYING ONE OR MORE OF
THE DIAGRAMS OR ANIMATIONS. Software must contain either a web link, or
the URL of KanjiCafe.com displayed concomitant with the display of any
SOD or SODA.

3. The attribution on the diagrams may not be altered, removed, or
concealed. It must be displayed along with any display of the SOD or
SODA.
  - Each SOD has the attribution "(c) KanjiCafe.com". 
  - Each SODA has the attribution "(c) KanjiCafe".
  - Special archives may have other, similar attributions.

4. These diagrams and animations may never be sold, nor bundled in any
product being sold without first obtaining a commercial license. They
are not yours to sell. If you sell them, you must have a commercial
agreement with the Rolomail Trading.

5. You may not use either the SODs or SODAs to create derivative
diagrams or animations nor alter the diagrams.

6. Anyone redistributing this particular set of 1,513 diagrams or
animations must include an exact copy of this particular grant of
license.


Notes:

Where in previous releases it would have been appreciated if anyone
using the first 1,000 SODs or SODAs as a courtesy would have notified
Jim Rose at jim(at)kanjicafe.com, with the 3rd public archival release
of the first 1,513 completed SODs and SODAs, it is now a license
requirement in compliance with limitation (1).

Many of stroke order diagrams in this current release are the only kanji
stroke order diagrams available for that particular kanji to the general
public.  i.e., there is no reference with which to dispute the joint
opinion of the artist and editor.  In each case the artist and editor
have referenced other kanji diagrams which contain the same radical
elements, and are backed up by known public references to ensure
accurate depictions of the correct order.

The SODER project's goal is to create SODs for each of the 6,353 kanji
in JIS X 0208-1990. The SODs are used to automatically create SODAs. In
choosing which kanji to work on for these first 1,513 there has been no
attempt to encompass any particular well defined subset of chinese
characters. However, they are all from the more "important" 1/3rd of the
JIS X 0208-1990 set. Note that none of the kanji in this release exceed
15 strokes. We plan to make another, larger public release of new
diagrams and animations at the milestones of every 500 characters, or 12
public releases before the final set is published.  This is the 3rd
public release.

Each SOD diagram is in PNG format and each SODA animation is in GIF89a
format.  Both are named by the kanji, in this form:

<kanji>.png

and . . .

<kanji>.gif

These archive files are named by the kanji encoded as either EUC-JP
(Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) or Unicode (Mac OS X):

EUC-JP Encoded File Names:
sod-euc.tar.gz
soda-euc.tar.gz

Unicode Encoded File Names:
sod-utf8.tar.gz
soda-utf8.tar.gz

These archives have files named by the hex code for the kanji encoded as
EUC-JP (Linux, FreeBSD, etc.), Unicode (Mac OS X), Japan Information
Standard or JIS (mostly in Japan), and Shift-JIS (Windows).

SODs
sod-euc-hex.tar.gz
sod-jis-hex.tar.gz 
sod-sjis-hex.tar.gz
sod-utf8-hex.tar.gz

SODAs
soda-euc-hex.tar.gz
soda-jis-hex.tar.gz
soda-sjis-hex.tar.gz
soda-utf8-hex.tar.gz

All rights to these diagrams and animations are retained by James Rose,
the KanjiCafe.com, and the Rolomail Trading.
