| 10 Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are | |
| 11 encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see |kcc| | |
| 12 below or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs: | |

| 18 You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for | |
| 799 | 19 features. See |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway. |

| 21 The Open Publication License applies to the Vim documentation, see | |
| 22 |manual-copyright|. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 === begin of license === | |
| 25 | |
| 26 VIM LICENSE | |
| 27 | |
| 28 I) 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 | |
| 35 II) 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 | |
| 92 III) 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 | |
| 100 IV) 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 | |
| 107 Note: | |
| 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 | |
| 799 | 113 |sponsor|. The money goes to Uganda anyway. |
| 7 | 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 | |

| 1620 | 131 Kibaale Children's Centre *kcc* *Kibaale* *charity* |
| 7 | 132 |
| 133 Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the | |
| 134 south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa. The area is known as Rakai | |
| 135 District. The population is mostly farmers. Although people are poor, there | |
| 136 is enough food. But this district is suffering from AIDS more than any other | |
| 137 part of the world. Some say that it started there. Estimations are that 10 | |
| 138 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV. Because parents die, there are | |
| 139 many orphans. In this district about 60,000 children have lost one or both | |
| 140 parents, out of a population of 350,000. And this is still continuing. | |
| 141 | |
| 142 The children need a lot of help. The KCC is working hard to provide the needy | |
| 143 with food, medical care and education. Food and medical care to keep them | |
| 144 healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the | |
| 145 future. KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any | |
| 146 religion. | |
| 147 | |
| 148 The key to solving the problems in this area is education. This has been | |
| 149 neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil | |
| 150 wars. Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have | |
| 151 to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections. There is | |
| 152 also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to | |
| 153 prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food. | |
| 154 | |
| 155 Most of the orphans are living in an extended family. An uncle or older | |
| 156 sister 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 | |
| 158 care and schooling is beyond its reach. To help these needy children, a | |
| 159 sponsorship program was put into place. A child can be financially adopted. | |
| 160 For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable | |
| 161 items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that | |
| 162 needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it. | |
| 163 | |
| 164 Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up | |
| 165 needs to be improved. KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods. | |
| 166 There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given. | |
| 167 Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and | |
| 168 households are stimulated to build a proper latrine. I helped setting up a | |
| 169 production site for cement slabs. These are used to build a good latrine. | |
| 170 They are sold below cost price. | |
| 171 | |
| 172 There is a small clinic at the project, which provides children and their | |
| 173 family with medical help. When needed, transport to a hospital is offered. | |
| 174 Immunization programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is | |
| 175 breaking out (measles and cholera have been a problem). | |
| 170 | 176 *donate* |
| 7 | 177 Summer 1994 to summer 1995 I spent a whole year at the centre, working as a |
| 178 volunteer. I have helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water | |
| 179 and sanitation. I learned that the help that the KCC provides really helps. | |
| 1620 | 180 When I came back to Holland, I wanted to continue supporting KCC. To do this |
| 181 I'm raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program. Please consider one | |
| 182 of these possibilities: | |
| 7 | 183 |
| 184 1. Sponsor a child in primary school: 17 euro a month (or more). | |
| 185 2. Sponsor a child in secondary school: 25 euro a month (or more). | |
| 186 3. Sponsor the clinic: Any amount a month or quarter | |
| 187 4. A one-time donation | |
| 188 | |
| 189 Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are | |
| 190 very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than | |
| 191 5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small | |
| 192 organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a | |
| 193 child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year. | |
| 194 | |
| 195 How do you know that the money will be spent right? First of all you have my | |
| 196 personal guarantee as the author of Vim. I trust the people that are working | |
| 6530 | 197 at the centre, I know them personally. Furthermore, the centre has been |
