This is the Debian package of Zope. Zope is the `Z Object Publishing
Environment', a web application server written in Python.

This package was put together by Gregor Hoffleit <flight@debian.org>,
from sources obtained from:

Author: Digital Creations <info@digicool.com>


Zope is licensed under the terms of the Zope Public License 1.0. The ZPL
has a non-binding attribution clause (ZPL 3), i.e. the license requests
that you put a "powered by Zope" button or something similar on the
entry page of your application. This request is not binding, i.e. the
authors won't and can't sue you if you don't do it, therefore the DFSG
are satisfied: Zope is free.

Still, please seriously consider installing an attribution to Zope:
The attribution will help spread the word about Zope, let the Zope
community grow and therefore more people will release free Zope
add-ons for you to use.

Furthermore, the ZPL requests that you either distribute modifications
to Zope in patch form, or mark the distribution as unofficial (cf. 
ZPL 7). Debian distributes all Debian modifications to upstream source
packages in the form of patches.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are
met:

1. Redistributions in source code must retain the above copyright

2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
   notice, this list of conditions, and the following disclaimer in
   the documentation and/or other materials provided with the
   distribution.

3. Digital Creations requests that attribution be given to Zope
   in any manner possible. Zope includes a "Powered by Zope"
   button that is installed by default. While it is not a license
   violation to remove this button, it is requested that the
   attribution remain. A significant investment has been put
   into Zope, and this effort will continue if the Zope community
   continues to grow. This is one way to assure that growth.

4. All advertising materials and documentation mentioning
   features derived from or use of this software must display
   the following acknowledgement:

     "This product includes software developed by Digital Creations
     for use in the Z Object Publishing Environment
     (http://www.zope.org/)."

   In the event that the product being advertised includes an
   intact Zope distribution (with copyright and license included)
   then this clause is waived.

5. Names associated with Zope or Digital Creations must not be used to
   endorse or promote products derived from this software without
   prior written permission from Digital Creations.

6. Modified redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain
   the following acknowledgment:

     "This product includes software developed by Digital Creations
     for use in the Z Object Publishing Environment
     (http://www.zope.org/)."

   Intact (re-)distributions of any official Zope release do not
   require an external acknowledgement.

7. Modifications are encouraged but must be packaged separately as
   patches to official Zope releases.  Distributions that do not
   clearly separate the patches from the original work must be clearly
   labeled as unofficial distributions.  Modifications which do not
   carry the name Zope may be packaged in any form, as long as they
   conform to all of the clauses above.
