You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
with this program; if not, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses.

Linking Ice statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
combined work based on Ice. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU
General Public License cover the whole combination.

In addition, as a special exception, ZeroC gives you permission to
combine Ice with:

a) the OpenSSL library (or with modified versions of OpenSSL that use the
same license as OpenSSL)

b) any library licensed under the Apache License, version 2.0
(http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html)

d) any code from the Mumble project (http://mumble.sourceforge.net)
licensed under the BSD license

You may copy and distribute such combinations following the terms of the
GNU General Public License for Ice and the licenses of the other code
concerned, provided that you include the source code of these other
libraries or code when and as the GNU General Public License requires
distribution of source code.

If you modify this copy of Ice, you may extend this exception to your
version of Ice, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to
do so, delete this exception statement from your version.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License version
2 along with this program; if not, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses.

Linking Ice statically or dynamically with other software (such as a
library, module or application) is making a combined work based on Ice.
Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License version
2 cover this combined work.

If such software can only be used together with Ice, then not only the
combined work but the software itself is a work derived from Ice and as
such shall be licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
version 2. This includes the situation where Ice is only being used
through an abstraction layer.

As a special exception to the above, ZeroC grants to the contributors for
the following projects the permission to license their Ice-based software
under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version
2.1 or of the BSD license:

- Orca Robotics (http://orca-robotics.sourceforge.net)

- Mumble (http://mumble.sourceforge.net)

This exception does not extend to the parts of Ice used by these
projects, or to any other derived work: as a whole, any work based on Ice
shall be licensed under the terms and conditions of the GNU General
Public License version 2.

You may also combine Ice with any software not derived from Ice, provided
the license of such software is compatible with the GNU General Public
License version 2. In addition, as a special exception, ZeroC grants you
permission to combine Ice with:

- the OpenSSL library, or with a modified version of the OpenSSL library
that uses the same license as OpenSSL

- any library not derived from Ice and licensed under the terms of
the Apache License, version 2.0
(http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html)

If you modify this copy of Ice, you may extend any of the exceptions
provided above to your version of Ice, but you are not obligated to
do so.
