5 SUMMARY
6
7 Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
8 encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see |kcc|
9 below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs:
10
11 http://iccf-holland.org/
12 http://www.vim.org/iccf/
13
14 You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for
15 features. See |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
16
17 The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see
18 |manual-copyright|.

20 === begin of license ===
21
22 VIM LICENSE
23
24 I) There are no restrictions on distributing unmodified copies of Vim except
25 that they must include this license text. You can also distribute
26 unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must
27 include this license text. You are also allowed to include executables
28 that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage
29 examples and Vim scripts.
30
31 II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim,
32 including executables and/or source code, when the following four
33 conditions are met:
34 1) This license text must be included unmodified.
35 2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:
36 a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in
37 the distribution how to contact you. When the maintainer asks you
38 (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you
39 must make your changes, including source code, available to the
40 maintainer without fee. The maintainer reserves the right to
41 include your changes in the official version of Vim. What the
42 maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they
43 will be distributed is negotiable. If there has been no negotiation
44 then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes.
45 The current maintainer is Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>. If this
46 changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most likely
47 vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely
48 impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him
49 your changes ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has
50 received your changes they will not have to be sent again.
51 b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as
52 mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it
53 unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the
54 text under a) applies to those changes.
55 c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of
56 the modified Vim you distribute. This may be done in the form of a
57 context diff. You can choose what license to use for new code you
58 add. The changes and their license must not restrict others from
59 making their own changes to the official version of Vim.
60 d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned
61 under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the
62 changes if the following three conditions are met:
63 - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute
64 the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and
65 permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official
66 version of Vim without fee or restriction.
67 - You keep the changes for at least three years after last
68 distributing the corresponding modified Vim. When the maintainer
69 or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in
70 any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them
71 available to him.
72 - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This
73 contact information must remain valid for at least three years
74 after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long
75 as possible.
76 e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,
77 you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or
78 any later version.
79 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"
80 command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim
81 is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as mentioned
82 under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does
83 not conflict with the license used for the changes.
84 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be
85 removed or changed, except that the person himself can make
86 corrections.
87
88 III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use
89 the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the
90 maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is
91 by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL.
92 If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a
93 context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is
94 <maintainer@vim.org>
95
96 IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim
97 sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may use this
98 license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came
99 with, at your option.
100
101 === end of license ===
102
103 Note:
104
105 - If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this
106 file and consider helping needy children in Uganda.
107
108 - If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a
109 |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
110
111 - According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.
112 A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not
113 make a difference.
114
115 - If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits
116 further distribution to the GNU GPL. Also when you didn't actually change
117 anything in Vim.
118
119 - Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all
120 further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.
121
122 - If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and
123 contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the
124 MODIFIED_BY define.

126 ==============================================================================
127 Kibaale Children's Centre
128
129 Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the
130 south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa. The area is known as Rakai
131 District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there
132 is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other
133 part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10
134 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are
135 many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both
136 parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing.
137
138 The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy
139 with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them
140 healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the
141 future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any
142 religion.
143
144 The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been
145 neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil
146 wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have
147 to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is
148 also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to
149 prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food.
150
151 Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older
152 sister is taking care of them. Because these families are big and the income
153 (if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food. Clothes, medical
154 care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a
155 sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted.
156 For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable
157 items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that
158 needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it.
159
160 Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up
161 needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods.
162 There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given.
163 Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and
164 households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a
165 production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine.
166 They are sold below cost price.
167
168 There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their
169 family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered.
170 Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is
171 breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem).
172
173 Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a
174 volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water
175 and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps.
176 Now that I'm back in Holland, I would like to continue supporting KCC. To do
177 this I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please
178 consider one of these possibilities:
179
180 1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more).
181 2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more).
182 3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter
183 4. A one-time donation
184
185 Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are
186 very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than
187 5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small
188 organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a
189 child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year.
190
191 How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my
192 personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working
193 at the centre, I know them personally. Further more, the centre is
194 co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and
195 International Child Care Fund. The centre is visited about once a year to
196 check the progress (at our own cost). I have visited the centre myself in
197 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003. The visit reports are on the ICCF web site.
