You can also distribute49    unmodified parts of Vim, likewise unrestricted except that they must50    include this license text.  You are also allowed to include executables51    that you made from the unmodified Vim sources, plus your own usage52    examples and Vim scripts.53 54II) It is allowed to distribute a modified (or extended) version of Vim,55    including executables and/or source code, when the following four56    conditions are met:57    1) This license text must be included unmodified.58    2) The modified Vim must be distributed in one of the following five ways:59       a) If you make changes to Vim yourself, you must clearly describe in60	  the distribution how to contact you.  When the maintainer asks you61	  (in any way) for a copy of the modified Vim you distributed, you62	  must make your changes, including source code, available to the63	  maintainer without fee.  The maintainer reserves the right to64	  include your changes in the official version of Vim.  What the65	  maintainer will do with your changes and under what license they66	  will be distributed is negotiable.  If there has been no negotiation67	  then this license, or a later version, also applies to your changes.68	  The current maintainers are listed here:69	      https://github.com/orgs/vim/people70	  If this changes it will be announced in appropriate places (most71	  likely vim.sf.net, www.vim.org and/or comp.editors).  When it is72	  completely impossible to contact the maintainer, the obligation to73	  send him your changes ceases.  Once the maintainer has confirmed74	  that he has received your changes they will not have to be sent75	  again.76       b) If you have received a modified Vim that was distributed as77	  mentioned under a) you are allowed to further distribute it78	  unmodified, as mentioned at I).  If you make additional changes the79	  text under a) applies to those changes.80       c) Provide all the changes, including source code, with every copy of81	  the modified Vim you distribute.  This may be done in the form of a82	  context diff.  You can choose what license to use for new code you83	  add.  The changes and their license must not restrict others from84	  making their own changes to the official version of Vim.85       d) When you have a modified Vim which includes changes as mentioned86	  under c), you can distribute it without the source code for the87	  changes if the following three conditions are met:88	  - The license that applies to the changes permits you to distribute89	    the changes to the Vim maintainer without fee or restriction, and90	    permits the Vim maintainer to include the changes in the official91	    version of Vim without fee or restriction.92	  - You keep the changes for at least three years after last93	    distributing the corresponding modified Vim.  When the maintainer94	    or someone who you distributed the modified Vim to asks you (in95	    any way) for the changes within this period, you must make them96	    available to him.97	  - You clearly describe in the distribution how to contact you.  This98	    contact information must remain valid for at least three years99	    after last distributing the corresponding modified Vim, or as long100	    as possible.101       e) When the GNU General Public License (GPL) applies to the changes,102	  you can distribute the modified Vim under the GNU GPL version 2 or103	  any later version.104    3) A message must be added, at least in the output of the ":version"105       command and in the intro screen, such that the user of the modified Vim106       is able to see that it was modified.  When distributing as mentioned107       under 2)e) adding the message is only required for as far as this does108       not conflict with the license used for the changes.109    4) The contact information as required under 2)a) and 2)d) must not be110       removed or changed, except that the person himself can make111       corrections.112 113III) If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you are encouraged to use114     the Vim license for your changes and make them available to the115     maintainer, including the source code.  The preferred way to do this is116     by e-mail or by uploading the files to a server and e-mailing the URL.117     If the number of changes is small (e.g., a modified Makefile) e-mailing a118     context diff will do.  The e-mail address to be used is119     <maintainer@vim.org>120 121IV)  It is not allowed to remove this license from the distribution of the Vim122     sources, parts of it or from a modified version.  You may use this123     license for previous Vim releases instead of the license that they came124     with, at your option.125 126=== end of license ===127 128Note:129 130- If you are happy with Vim, please express that by reading the rest of this131  file and consider helping needy children in Uganda.132 133- If you want to support further Vim development consider becoming a134  |sponsor|.  The money goes to Uganda anyway.135 136- According to Richard Stallman the Vim license is GNU GPL compatible.137  A few minor changes have been made since he checked it, but that should not138  make a difference.139 140- If you link Vim with a library that goes under the GNU GPL, this limits141  further distribution to the GNU GPL.  Also when you didn't actually change142  anything in Vim.143 144- Once a change is included that goes under the GNU GPL, this forces all145  further changes to also be made under the GNU GPL or a compatible license.146 147- If you distribute a modified version of Vim, you can include your name and148  contact information with the "--with-modified-by" configure argument or the149  MODIFIED_BY define.150 151- This license applies to the source code of Vim.  However, different license152  conditions may apply to some runtime files included with Vim; these will be153  specified in the header of each respective file.154==============================================================================155Kibaale Children's Centre		*kcc* *Kibaale*  *charity*156 157Kibaale Children's Centre (KCC) is located in Kibaale, a small town in the158south of Uganda, near Tanzania, in East Africa.  The area is known as Rakai159District.  The population is mostly farmers.  Although people are poor, there160usually is enough food.  But this district is suffering from AIDS more than161any other part of the world.  Some say that it started there.  Estimations are162that in the past 10 to 30% of the Ugandans are infected with HIV.  Because163parents die, there are many orphans.  In this district about 60,000 children164have lost one or both parents, out of a population of 350,000.  Although AIDS165is now mostly under control, the problems are still continuing.166 167The children need a lot of help.  The KCC is working hard to provide the needy168with food, medical care and education.  Food and medical care to keep them169healthy now, and education so that they can take care of themselves in the170future.  KCC works on a Christian base, but help is given to children of any171religion.172 173The key to solving the problems in this area is education.  This has been174neglected in the past years with president Idi Amin and the following civil175wars.  Now that the government is stable again, the children and parents have176to learn how to take care of themselves and how to avoid infections.  There is177also help for people who are ill and hungry, but the primary goal is to178prevent people from getting ill and to teach them how to grow healthy food.179 180Most of the orphans are living in an extended family.  An uncle or older181sister is taking care of them.  Because these families are big and the income182(if any) is low, a child is lucky if it gets healthy food.  Clothes, medical183care and schooling is beyond its reach.  To help these needy children, a184sponsorship program was put into place.  A child can be financially adopted.185For a few dollars a month KCC sees to it that the child gets indispensable186items, is healthy, goes to school and KCC takes care of anything else that187needs to be done for the child and the family that supports it.188 189Besides helping the child directly, the environment where the child grows up190needs to be improved.  KCC helps schools to improve their teaching methods.191There is a demonstration school at the centre and teacher trainings are given.192Health workers are being trained, hygiene education is carried out and193households are stimulated to build a proper latrine.  I helped setting up a194production site for cement slabs.  These are used to build a good latrine.195They are sold below cost price.196 197There is a clinic at the project, which provides children and their family198medical help.  Since 2020 a maternity ward was added and 24/7 service is199available.  When needed, transport to a hospital is offered.  Immunization200programs are carried out and help is provided when an epidemic is breaking out201(measles and cholera have been a problem).202 203Summer 1994 to summer 1995 Bram spent a whole year at the centre, working as a204volunteer.  Bram helped to expand the centre and worked in the area of water205and sanitation.  Bram learned that the help that the KCC provides really206helps. When Bram came back to Holland, he wanted to continue supporting KCC.207To do this he has been raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program.208 209How do you know that the money will be spent right?  First of all you have the210personal guarantee of Bram as the author of Vim, who knew the people working211at the centre personally.  Furthermore, the centre has been212co-sponsored and inspected by World Vision, Save the Children Fund and is now213under the supervision of Pacific Academy Outreach Society.  Bram has214visited the centre many times, starting in 1993.  The visit reports are215have been shared on the ICCF web site (may no longer be available).216 217If you have any further questions, send an e-mail: info@kuwasha.net.218 219The address of the centre is:220			Kibaale Children's Centre221			p.o. box 1658222			Masaka, Uganda, East Africa223 224							*donate*225Sending money:226 227Check the Kuwasha web site for the latest information!228 229		Look on their site for information about sponsorship:230		    https://www.kuwasha.net/231		If you make a donation to Kuwasha you will receive a tax232		receipt which can be submitted with your tax return.233 234Credit Card:	You can use PayPal to send money with a Credit card.
