Other contributors to GAMGI source code remain the sole owners
of their copyright and are responsible for registering and
defending them.
2. Under which license is GAMGI provided?
The C source code developed by the GAMGI project, that forms
the core GAMGI program, is distributed under the terms of the
GPL license.
Perl and Python scripts developed by the GAMGI

No. Copyright owners retain full ownership of GAMGI code.

GAMGI code will be automatically Public Domain property only
70 years after the death of the authors.
4. Is GAMGI a trademarked word?
Since November 2005, the word GAMGI is a
European Union
trademark of Carlos Pereira, GAMGI first author. We believe this promotes
long-term credibility and lends some legal protection to the project.
In some countries, most notably Korea, GAMGI is a common personal name,
so a trademark would not be enforceable.
5. Is there any guarantee that GAMGI woks?
No. There is absolutely no guarantee that GAMGI will work at all,
much less that it will work correctly or as expected, and this
includes everything related with GAMGI, namely the binary and script
executables, the documentation, the data and the website functionality.
In short, no liabilities.
