You can + also distribute unmodified parts of fugitive.vim, likewise unrestricted + except that they must include this license text. You are also allowed to + include executables that you made from the unmodified fugitive.vim + sources, plus your own usage examples and Vim scripts. + +II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of + fugitive.vim, including executables and/or source code, when the following + four conditions are met: + 1) This license text must be included unmodified. + 2) The modified fugitive.vim must be distributed in one of the following + five ways: + a) If you make changes to fugitive.vim yourself, you must clearly + describe in the distribution how to contact you. When the + maintainer asks you (in any way) for a copy of the modified + fugitive.vim you distributed, you must make your changes, including + source code, available to the maintainer without fee. The + maintainer reserves the right to include your changes in the + official version of fugitive.vim. What the maintainer will do with + your changes and under what license they will be distributed is + negotiable. If there has been no negotiation then this license, or + a later version, also applies to your changes. The current + maintainer is Bram Moolenaar . If this changes it + will be announced in appropriate places (most likely vim.sf.net, + www.vim.org and/or comp.editors). When it is completely impossible + to contact the maintainer, the obligation to send him your changes + ceases. Once the maintainer has confirmed that he has received your + changes they will not have to be sent again. + b) If you have received a modified fugitive.vim that was distributed as + mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it + unmodified, as mentioned at I). If you make additional changes the + text under a) applies to those changes. + c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of + the modified fugitive.vim you distribute. This may be done in the + form of a context diff. You can choose what license to use for new + code you add. The changes and their license must not restrict + others from making their own changes to the official version of + fugitive.vim. + d) When you have a modified fugitive.vim which includes changes as + mentioned under c), you can distribute it without the source code + for the changes if the following three conditions are met: + - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute + the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and + permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official + version of fugitive.vim without fee or restriction. + - You keep the changes for at least three years after last + distributing the corresponding modified fugitive.vim. When the + maintainer or someone who you distributed the modified + fugitive.vim to asks you (in any way) for the changes within this + period, you must make them available to him. + - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you. This + contact information must remain valid for at least three years + after last distributing the corresponding modified fugitive.vim, + or as long as possible. + e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes, + you can distribute the modified fugitive.vim under the GNU GPL + version 2 or any later version. + 3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version" + command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified + fugitive.vim is able to see that it was modified. When distributing as + mentioned under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as + this does not conflict with the license used for the changes. + 4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be + removed or changed, except that the person himself can make + corrections. + +III) If you distribute a modified version of fugitive.vim, you are encouraged + to use the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the + maintainer, including the source code. The preferred way to do this is + by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL. If + the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a + context diff will do. The e-mail address to be used is + + +IV) It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the + fugitive.vim sources, parts of it or from a modified version. You may + use this license for previous fugitive.vim releases instead of the + license that they came with, at your option.
