All patches and comments are welcome. Please squash your changes to logical
commits before using git-format-patch and git-send-email to

If you'd read over the Git project's submission guidelines and adhered to them,
I'd be especially grateful.
3 I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of
4 pathogen.vim except that they must include this license text. You can
5 also distribute unmodified parts of pathogen.vim, likewise unrestricted
6 except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to
7 include executables that you made from the unmodified pathogen.vim
8 sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts.
10 II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of
11 pathogen.vim, including executables and/or source code, when the following
12 four conditions are met:
13 1) This license text must be included unmodified.
14 2) The modified pathogen.vim must be distributed in one of the following
16 a) If you make changes to pathogen.vim yourself, you must clearly
17 describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the
18 maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified
19 pathogen.vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including
20 source code, available to the maintainer without fee. The
21 maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the
22 official version of pathogen.vim. What the maintainer will do with
23 your changes and under what license they will be distributed is
24 negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or
25 a later version, also applies to your changes. The current
26 maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this changes it
27 will be announced in appropriate places (most likely vim.sf.net,
28 www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely impossible
29 to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him your changes
30 ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has received your
31 changes they will not have to be sent again.
32 b) If you have received a modified pathogen.vim that was distributed as
33 mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
34 unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the
35 text under a) applies to those changes.
36 c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
37 the modified pathogen.vim you distribute. This may be done in the
38 form of a context diff. You can choose what license to use for new
39 code you add. The changes and their license must not restrict
40 others from making their own changes to the official version of
42 d) When you have a modified pathogen.vim which includes changes as
43 mentioned under c), you can distribute it without the source code
44 for the changes if the following three conditions are met:
45 - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
46 the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
47 permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
48 version of pathogen.vim without fee or restriction.
49 - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
50 distributing the corresponding modified pathogen.vim. When the
51 maintainer or someone who you distributed the modified
52 pathogen.vim to asks you (in any way) for the changes within this
53 period, you must make them available to him.
54 - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This
55 contact information must remain valid for at least three years
56 after last distributing the corresponding modified pathogen.vim,
57 or as long as possible.
58 e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
59 you can distribute the modified pathogen.vim under the GNU GPL
60 version 2 or any later version.
61 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
62 command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified
63 pathogen.vim is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as
64 mentioned under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as
65 this does not conflict with the license used for the changes.
66 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
67 removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
70 III) If you distribute a modified version of pathogen.vim, you are encouraged
71 to use the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
72 maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is
73 by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. If
74 the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
75 context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is
78 IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the
79 pathogen.vim sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may
80 use this license for previous pathogen.vim releases instead of the
81 license that they came with, at your option.
