You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are 11encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see |kcc| 12below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs: 13 14 http://iccf-holland.org/ 15 http://www.vim.org/iccf/ 16 http://www.iccf.nl/ 17 18You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for 19features. See |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway. 20 21The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see 22|manual-copyright|. 23 24=== begin of license === 25 26VIM LICENSE 27 28I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except 29 that they must include this license text. You can also distribute 30 unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must 31 include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables 32 that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage 33 examples and Vim scripts. 34 35II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim, 36 including executables and/or source code, when the following four 37 conditions are met: 38 1) This license text must be included unmodified. 39 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways: 40 a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in 41 the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you 42 (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you 43 must make your changes, including source code, available to the 44 maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to 45 include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the 46 maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they 47 will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation 48 then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes. 49 The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this 50 changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely 51 vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely 52 impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him 53 your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has 54 received your changes they will not have to be sent again. 55 b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as 56 mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it 57 unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the 58 text under a) applies to those changes. 59 c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of 60 the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a 61 context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you 62 add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from 63 making their own changes to the official version of Vim. 64 d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned 65 under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the 66 changes if the following three conditions are met: 67 - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute 68 the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and 69 permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official 70 version of Vim without fee or restriction. 71 - You keep the changes for at least three years after last 72 distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer 73 or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in 74 any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them 75 available to him. 76 - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This 77 contact information must remain valid for at least three years 78 after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long 79 as possible. 80 e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, 81 you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or 82 any later version. 83 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" 84 command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim 85 is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned 86 under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does 87 not conflict with the license used for the changes. 88 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be 89 removed or changed, except that the person himself can make 90 corrections. 91 92III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use 93 the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the 94 maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is 95 by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. 96 If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a 97 context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is 98 <maintainer@vim.org> 99 100IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim 101 sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this 102 license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came 103 with, at your option. 104 105=== end of license === 106 107Note: 108 109- If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this 110 file and consider helping needy children in Uganda. 111 112- If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a 113 |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway. 114 115- According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible. 116 A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not 117 make a difference. 118 119- If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits 120 further distribution to the GNU GPL. Also when you didn't actually change 121 anything in Vim. 122 123- Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all 124 further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license. 125 126- If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and 127 contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the 128 MODIFIED_BY define. 129 130============================================================================== 131Kibaale Children's Centre *kcc* *Kibaale* *charity* 132 133Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the 134south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa. The area is known as Rakai 135District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there 136is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other 137part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10 138to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are 139many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both 140parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing. 141 142The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy 143with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them 144healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the 145future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any 146religion. 147 148The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been 149neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil 150wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have 151to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is 152also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to 153prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food. 154 155Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older 156sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income 157(if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical 158care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a 159sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted. 160For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable 161items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that 162needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it. 163 164Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up 165needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods. 166There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given. 167Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and 168households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a 169production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine. 170They are sold below cost price. 171 172There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their 173family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered. 174Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is 175breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem). 176 *donate* 177Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a 178volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water 179and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps. 180When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this 181I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one 182of these possibilities: 183 1841. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more). 1852. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more). 1863. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter 1874. A one-time donation 188 189Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are 190very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than 1915% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small 192organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a 193child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year. 194 195How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my 196personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working 197at the centre, I know them personally. Further more, the centre has been 198co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and is now 199under the supervision of Pacific Academy Outreach Society. The centre is 200visited about once a year to check the progress (at our own cost). I have 201visited the centre myself many times, starting in 1993. The visit reports are 202on the ICCF web site. 203 204If you have any further questions, send me e-mail: <Bram@vim.org>. 205 206The address of the centre is: 207 Kibaale Children's Centre 208 p.o. box 1658 209 Masaka, Uganda, East Africa 210 211Sending money: *iccf-donations* 212 213Check the ICCF web site for the latest information!

We are looking for 219 another way to get you an IRS tax receipt. 220 For sponsoring a child contact KCF in Canada (see below). US 221 checks can be sent to them to lower banking costs. 222 223Canada: Contact Kibaale Children's Fund (KCF) in Surrey, Canada. They 224 take care of the Canadian sponsors for the children in 225 Kibaale. KCF forwards 100% of the money to the project in 226 Uganda. You can send them a one time donation directly. 227 Please send me a note so that I know what has been donated 228 because of Vim. Ask KCF for information about sponsorship. 229 Kibaale Children's Fund c/o Pacific Academy 230 10238-168 Street 231 Surrey, B.C.
