+
+   As a special exception we grant the free usage of UPX for all

+
+
+SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR COMPRESSED EXECUTABLES
+============================================
+
+   The stub which is imbedded in each UPX compressed program is part
+   of UPX and UCL, and contains code that is under our copyright. The
+   terms of the GNU General Public License still apply as compressing
+   a program is a special form of linking with our stub.
+
+   Hereby Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer and Laszlo Molnar grant you special
+   permission to freely use and distribute all UPX compressed programs
+   (including commercial ones), subject to the following restrictions:
+
+   1. You must compress your program with a completely unmodified UPX
+      version; either with our precompiled version, or (at your option)
+      with a self compiled version of the unmodified UPX sources as
+      distributed by us.
+   2. This also implies that the UPX stub must be completely unmodfied, i.e.
+      the stub imbedded in your compressed program must be byte-identical
+      to the stub that is produced by the official unmodified UPX version.
+   3. The decompressor and any other code from the stub must exclusively get
+      used by the unmodified UPX stub for decompressing your program at
+      program startup. No portion of the stub may get read, copied,
+      called or otherwise get used or accessed by your program.
+
+
+ANNOTATIONS
+===========
+
+  - You can use a modified UPX version or modified UPX stub only for
+    programs that are compatible with the GNU General Public License.
+
+  - We grant you special permission to freely use and distribute all UPX
+    compressed programs. But any modification of the UPX stub (such as,
+    but not limited to, removing our copyright string or making your
+    program non-decompressible) will immediately revoke your right to
+    use and distribute a UPX compressed program.
+
+  - UPX is not a software protection tool; by requiring that you use
+    the unmodified UPX version for your proprietary programs we
+    make sure that any user can decompress your program. This protects
+    both you and your users as nobody can hide malicious code -
+    any program that cannot be decompressed is highly suspicious
+    by definition.
+
+  - You can integrate all or part of UPX and UCL into projects that
+    are compatible with the GNU GPL, but obviously you cannot grant
+    any special exceptions beyond the GPL for our code in your project.
+
+  - We want to actively support manufacturers of virus scanners and
+    similar security software. Please contact us if you would like to
+    incorporate parts of UPX or UCL into such a product.
