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.

Parts of the code are distributed under one of the following licenses:

- GNU Library/Lesser Public License (LGPL), version 2 or version 2.1

- Some parts of the code are distributed under a dual licensing scheme. See the respective source files for further information.
- Other parts of the code are in the Public Domain.

Some third party files in the source code don’t include proper copyright notices, but the Scribus developers have been told by their authors that the license is compatible to the GPL version (e.g. LGPL v. 2 or MIT license). This doesn’t mean that you are allowed to copy or modify the code without obligations. It only means that the original authors forgot to add these notices. Without providing legal advice, we suggest that you contact the authors of the code who are mentioned in other files in the same directory and ask for permission or to update the files with appropriate licensing information.

Antiword, which is shipped with the Windows version of Scribus, is a separately licensed program under the GPL, and the copyright license is included with the program.

Resources, like the documentation, dictionary files, color profiles, color palettes, or templates, use their own licenses that need not be compatible with any of the licenses mentioned above, because resources are considered to be content, not functional code.
Note that some of these files, especially some color palettes, are subject to very strict licensing conditions.
