Odin is a free Open Source project with the goal to eventually provide a fully working Win95/98/NT/2000/XP runtime environment making it possible to run your favorite Windows programs under OS/2 (eCS) as if they were native.
This document's intention is to provide an easy installation guide for Odin itself and some basic concepts for trying to install and run Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP programs on OS/2 (eCS).
This document will not cover all technical details and it is not supposed to do so.

(1) you appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
(2) faithfully reproduce all prior copyright included in the original work; and
(3) agree to indemnify and hold all prior authors, copyright holders and licensors of the work harmless from and against all damages arising from use of or the inability to use the work.
You may distribute binaries and sources of derivative works of the work provided that: (1) all modifications to the original source code are publically available; (2) all modifications are released under this license; (3) all copyrights of the original work are included; (4) the modifications are a direct advantage for the functionality and completeness of the product or improve interoperability of the product with another product and do not interfere with the goal of an open source and free emulation product.
You may NOT use the work as base of another work that is not released under this license agreement meaning that you especially are not allowed to develop any other product which is based on the sources and/or binaries of the work.
However, you are encouraged to use the work for porting your free or commercial applications. You can ship software converted using the work as long as the original copyright for the work is mentioned and you do not charge for using any part of the work. You may also ship the work in binaries and sources for use with your applications as long as you do not violate the distribution regulations of this license.
These license terms can be amended by a custom license agreement between a third party and the administration team. Such a custom license might only limit the above terms if the changes cause a direct advantage for the functionality or completeness of the product and do not interfere with the goal of an open-source and free emulation product.
Parts of the work may be governed by a license other than this one, if the source directory of the part contains a license file called "LICENSE.TXT" of its own. If a different license exists, it supercedes this license. Removing the the part specific license will automatically put back the part under the terms of this license. Only the Odin management team is allowed to put parts of the work under a different license and remove the part specific licenses. The purpose of using different licenses is solely for allowing code sharing of certain parts of the work with other projects that have incompatible licenses. These parts should either have this license in a version that makes it compatible with the license of the second project, or the license of the second project as long as it conforms to the goals of an open source and free emulation software.
