[Gnuplot-info] License with regards to binary distribution

[Chris D. <chr...@gm...>]

Hi, 

Just wanted to confirm my understanding on the license, which you can
read here:
http://gnuplot.cvs.sourceforge.net/gnuplot/gnuplot/Copyright?view=markup

Can I produce a binary from the official source, unmodified and
distribute that binary, excluding any source code, provided the
copyright notice is included in that distribution?

In other words, suppose I were to write a program which depends upon
gnuplot, and I need to distribute my program along with gnuplot as its
dependency, can I just include it as-is?

And if I were to use a modified distribution version, e.g. of Ubuntu, I
would include the copyright notice and version information from the
Ubuntu version to clearly mark that this is a modified binary. Correct?

Cheers!
