Redistribution of Ghost

You can see the full license terms of the packages distributed from the official Kawari distribution site by using the ver license command, including those of the MT library.

Therefore, you can redistribute the .nar and .zip files including shiori.dll normally (e.g., publish them on a Web page). You can release the ghost package (.nar or .zip) with only shiori.dll extracted and included in the Kawari package. You do not need to redistribute the Kawari source code or your own KIS scripts to the public.

You may freely use and redistribute the attached sample scripts and dictionaries, regardless of whether or not you have modified them. No decryption or license notice is required to use or redistribute the sample scripts and dictionaries.

Adoption of Patches

In line with the unification of the modified BSD license, we have decided to give priority to patches that are either modified BSD, or close to it with no redistribution restrictions. It is impossible to incorporate GPL patches as far as possible. LGPL patches need to be considered, but we would appreciate it if they could be modified BSD if possible. Sorry.

Regarding modification of Kawari

By including the license statement in the package or directly in the binary, it is possible to release modified Kawari binaries and use them for Ghosts without releasing the source code. However, we strongly recommend that extensions be implemented outside of Kawari using the common extension method called SAORI.
