COPYING
1 FastJet is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License
2 v2 (GPLv2). FastJet includes a significant body of third-party code,
3 for example for third party plugin algorithms and for computational
4 geometry methods. These too are usually released under the GPL or
5 permissive licenses. Details are given below on a case-by-case basis.
6 
7 A copy of the GPLv2 is to be found at the end of this file.
8 
9 While the GPL license grants you considerable freedom, please bear in
10 mind that FastJet's use falls under guidelines similar to those that
11 are standard for Monte Carlo event generators
12 (http://www.montecarlonet.org/GUIDELINES). In particular, if you use
13 this code as part of work towards a scientific publication, whether
14 directly or contained within another program (e.g. Delphes, SpartyJet,
15 Rivet, LHC collaboration software frameworks, etc.), you should
16 include a citation to
17 
18  arXiv:1111.6097 (FastJet User Manual)
19  and, optionally, Phys.Lett.B641 (2006) 57 [arXiv:hep-ph/0512210]
20 
21 A number of other citations may also be relevant, for example for jet
22 areas and subtraction, boosted object taggers, plugins and the
23 underlying computational geometry methods and codes. Plugins generally
24 indicate the appropriate reference in a banner. References for other
25 features are to be found in the FastJet manual.

88  Dear Gregory, all,
89  after some iterations with the D0 spoke persons and other programmers who
90  have been involved in writing the C++ implementation within the D0
91  software framework, the conclusion is that D0 grants the permission:
92 
93  "As an author of the D0 Run I and D0 Run II cone code, and having
94  consulted and obtained the consent of the other authors (D0 collaboration),
95  I hereby grant you permission to distribute my/our code for the
96  D0 Run I and Run II cone jet algorithms under the terms of the GNU
97  General Public License (v2).".
98 
99  Citation and/or banner should then also give credit to the D0
100  collaboration.

169  GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
170  Version 2, June 1991
171 
172  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
173  59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
174  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
175  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
176 
177  Preamble
178 
179  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
180 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
181 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
182 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
183 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
184 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
185 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
186 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
187 your programs, too.
188 
189  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
190 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
191 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
192 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
193 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
194 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
195 
196  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
197 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
198 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
199 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
200 
201  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
202 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
203 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
204 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
205 rights.
206 
207  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
208 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
209 distribute and/or modify the software.
210 
211  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
212 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
213 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
214 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
215 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
216 authors' reputations.
217 
218  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
219 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
220 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
221 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
222 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
223 
224  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
225 modification follow.
226 
227  GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
228  TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
229 
230  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
231 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
232 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
233 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
234 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
235 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
236 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
237 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
238 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
239 
240 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
241 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
242 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
243 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
244 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
245 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
246 
247  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
248 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
249 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
250 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
251 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
252 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
253 along with the Program.
254 
255 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
256 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
257 
258  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
259 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
260 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
261 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
262 
263  a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
264  stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
265 
266  b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
267  whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
268  part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
269  parties under the terms of this License.
270 
271  c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
272  when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
273  interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
274  announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
275  notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
276  a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
277  these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
278  License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
279  does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
280  the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
281 
282 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
283 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
284 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
285 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
286 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
287 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
288 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
289 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
290 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
291 
292 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
293 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
294 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
295 collective works based on the Program.
296 
297 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
298 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
299 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
300 the scope of this License.
301 
302  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
303 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
304 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
305 
306  a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
307  source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
308  1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
309 
310  b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
311  years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
312  cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
313  machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
314  distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
315  customarily used for software interchange; or,
316 
317  c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
318  to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
319  allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
320  received the program in object code or executable form with such
321  an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
322 
323 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
324 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
325 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
326 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
327 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
328 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
329 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
330 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
331 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
332 itself accompanies the executable.
333 
334 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
335 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
336 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
337 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
338 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
339 
340  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
341 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
342 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
343 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
344 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
345 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
346 parties remain in full compliance.
347 
348  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
349 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
350 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
351 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
352 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
353 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
354 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
355 the Program or works based on it.
356 
357  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
358 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
359 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
360 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
361 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
362 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
363 this License.
364 
365  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
366 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
367 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
368 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
369 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
370 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
371 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
372 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
373 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
374 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
375 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
376 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
377 
378 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
379 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
380 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
381 circumstances.
382 
383 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
384 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
385 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
386 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
387 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
388 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
389 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
390 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
391 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
392 impose that choice.
393 
394 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
395 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
396 
397  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
398 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
399 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
400 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
401 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
402 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
403 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
404 
405  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
406 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
407 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
408 address new problems or concerns.
409 
410 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
411 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
412 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
413 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
414 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
415 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
416 Foundation.
417 
418  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
419 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
420 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
421 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
422 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
423 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
424 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
425 
426  NO WARRANTY
427 
428  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
429 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
430 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
431 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
432 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
433 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
434 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
435 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
436 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
437 
438  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
439 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
440 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
441 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
442 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
443 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
444 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
445 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
446 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
447 
448  END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
449 
450  How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
451 
452  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
453 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
454 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
455 
456  To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
457 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
458 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
459 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
460 
461  <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
462  Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
463 
464  This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
465  it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
466  the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
467  (at your option) any later version.
468 
469  This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
470  but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
471  MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
472  GNU General Public License for more details.
473 
474  You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
475  along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
476  Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
477 
478 
479 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
480 
481 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
482 when it starts in an interactive mode:
483 
484  Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
485  Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
486  This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
487  under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
488 
489 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
490 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
491 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
492 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
493 
494 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
495 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
496 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
497 
498  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
499  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

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