ANY KIND. THE AUTHORS AND DISTRIBUTORS OF THE SOFTWARE DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY. ANYONE WHO USES,
COPIES, MODIFIES, OR (RE)DISTRIBUTES ANY PART OF THE SOFTWARE IS, BY SUCH ACTION(S), ACCEPTING AND
AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEM, DO NOT
USE, COPY, MODIFY, NOR (RE)DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE, NOR ANY PART(S) THEREOF.
I. Definitions
1. "This Product" means the work (including, but not limited to, source code, graphics, texts, and
accompanying files) made available under and governed by this version of this license ("License"),
as may be indicated by, but is not limited to, copyright notice(s) attached to or included in the
work.
2. "You" means (and "Your" refers to) an individual or a legal entity (e.g., a non-profit
organization, commercial organization, government agency, etc.) exercising permissions granted by
this License.
3. "Modification" means (and "modify" refers to) any alteration of This Product, including, but not
limited to, addition to or deletion from the substance or structure of This Product, translation
into another language, repackaging, alteration or removal of any file included with This Product,
and addition of any new files to This Product.
4. "Your Product" means This Product modified by You, or any work You derive from (or base on) any
part of This Product. In addition, "Your Product" means any work in which You include any (modified
or unmodified) portion of This Product. However, if the work in which you include it is an
aggregate software distribution (such as an operating system distribution or a cover CD-ROM of a
magazine) containing multiple separate products, then the term "Your Product" includes only those
products (in the aggregate software distribution) that use, include, or depend on a modified or
unmodified version of This Product (and the term "Your Product" does not include the whole
aggregate software distribution). For the purposes of this License, a product suite consisting of
two or more products is considered a single product (operating system distributions and cover media
of magazines are not considered product suites).
5. "Distribution" means (and "distribute" refers to), regardless of means or methods, conveyance,
transfer, providing, or making available of This/Your Product or portions thereof to third parties
(including, but not limited to, making This/Your Product, or portions thereof, available for
download to third parties, whether or not any third party has downloaded the product, or any
portion thereof, made available for download).
II. Use, Copying, and Distribution of This Product
1. Provided that You comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this License, You may make
copies of This Product (unmodified) and distribute copies of This Product (unmodified) that are not
included in another product forming Your Product (except as permitted under Chapter III). Note: For
terms and conditions for copying and distribution of modified versions of This Product, see Chapter
III.
2. Provided that You comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this License, You may use
This Product freely (see also Chapter III) on any number of computers/systems for non-commercial
and/or commercial purposes.
III. Modification, Derivation, and Inclusion in Other Products
1. If all conditions specified in the following paragraphs in this Chapter (III) are met (for
exceptions, see Section III.2) and if You comply with all other applicable terms and conditions of
this License, You may modify This Product (thus forming Your Product), derive new works from This
Product or portions thereof (thus forming Your Product), include This Product or portions thereof
in another product (thus forming Your Product, unless defined otherwise in Chapter I), and You may
use (for non-commercial and/or commercial purposes), copy, and/or distribute Your Product.
The name of Your Product (or of Your modified version of This Product) must not contain the
name TrueCrypt (for example, the following names are not allowed: TrueCrypt, TrueCrypt+, TrueCrypt
Professional, iTrueCrypt, etc.) nor any other names confusingly similar to the name TrueCrypt
(e.g., True-Crypt, True Crypt, TruKrypt, etc.)
All occurrences of the name TrueCrypt that could reasonably be considered to identify Your
Product must be removed from Your Product and from any associated materials. Logo(s) included in
(or attached to) Your Product (and in/to associated materials) must not incorporate and must not be
confusingly similar to any of the TrueCrypt logos (including, but not limited to, the non-textual
logo consisting primarily of a key in stylized form) or portion(s) thereof. All graphics contained
in This Product (logos, icons, etc.) must be removed from Your Product (or from Your modified
version of This Product) and from any associated materials.
The following phrases must be removed from Your Product and from any associated materials,
except the text of this License: "A TrueCrypt Foundation Release", "Released by TrueCrypt
Foundation", "This is a TrueCrypt Foundation release."
Phrase "Based on TrueCrypt, freely available at www.truecrypt.org" must be displayed by Your
Product (if technically feasible) and contained in its documentation. Alternatively, if This
Product or its portion You included in Your Product constitutes only a minor portion of Your
Product, phrase "Portions of this product are based in part on TrueCrypt, freely available at
www.truecrypt.org" may be displayed instead. In each of the cases mentioned above in this
paragraph, "www.truecrypt.org" must be a hyperlink (if technically feasible) pointing to
www.truecrypt.org and You may freely choose the location within the user interface (if there is
any) of Your Product (e.g., an "About" window, etc.) and the way in which Your Product will display
the respective phrase.
Your Product (and any associated materials, e.g., the documentation, the content of the
official web site of Your Product, etc.) must not present any Internet address containing the
domain name truecrypt.org (or any domain name that forwards to the domain name truecrypt.org) in a
manner that might suggest that it is where information about Your Product may be obtained or where
bugs found in Your Product may be reported or where support for Your Product may be available or
otherwise attempt to indicate that the domain name truecrypt.org is associated with Your Product.
The complete source code of Your Product must be freely and publicly available (for exceptions,
see Section III.2) at least until You cease to distribute Your Product. This condition can be met
in one or both of the following ways: (i) You include the complete source code of Your Product with
every copy of Your Product that You make and distribute and You make all such copies of Your
Product available to the general public free of charge, and/or (ii) You include information (valid
and correct at least until You cease to distribute Your Product) about where the complete source
code of Your Product can be obtained free of charge (e.g., an Internet address) or for a reasonable
reproduction fee with every copy of Your Product that You make and distribute and, if there is a
web site officially associated with Your Product, You include the aforementioned information about
the source code on a freely and publicly accessible web page to which such web site links via an
easily viewable hyperlink (at least until You cease to distribute Your Product).
The source code of Your Product must not be deliberately obfuscated and it must not be in an
intermediate form (e.g., the output of a preprocessor). Source code means the preferred form in
which a programmer would usually modify the program.
Portions of the source code of Your Product not contained in This Product (e.g., portions added
by You in creating Your Product, whether created by You or by third parties) must be available
under license(s) that (however, see also Subsection III.1.e) allow(s) anyone to modify and derive
new works from the portions of the source code that are not contained in This Product and to use,
copy, and redistribute such modifications and/or derivative works. The license(s) must be
perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, no-charge, and worldwide, and must not invalidate, weaken,
restrict, interpret, amend, modify, interfere with or otherwise affect any part, term, provision,
or clause of this License. The text(s) of the license(s) must be included with every copy of Your
Product that You make and distribute.
You must not change the license terms of This Product in any way (adding any new terms is
considered changing the license terms even if the original terms are retained), which means, e.g.,
that no part of This Product may be put under another license. You must keep intact all the legal
notices contained in the source code files. You must include the following items with every copy of
Your Product that You make and distribute: a clear and conspicuous notice stating that Your Product
or portion(s) thereof is/are governed by this version of the TrueCrypt License, a verbatim copy of
this version of the TrueCrypt License (as contained herein), a clear and conspicuous notice
containing information about where the included copy of the License can be found, and an
appropriate copyright notice.
2. You are not obligated to comply with Subsection III.1.d if Your Product is not distributed
(i.e., Your Product is available only to You).
