5 Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed.
6 https://ninja-build.org/
8 See the manual -- https://ninja-build.org/manual.html or
9 doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution -- for background
12 Binaries for Linux, Mac, and Windows are available at
13 https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja/releases
14 Run './ninja -h' for Ninja help.
16 To build your own binary, on many platforms it should be sufficient to
17 just run `./configure.py --bootstrap`; for more details see HACKING.md.
18 (Also read that before making changes to Ninja, as it has advice.)
20 Installation is not necessary because the only required file is the
21 resulting ninja binary. However, to enable features like Bash
22 completion and Emacs and Vim editing modes, some files in misc/ must be
23 copied to appropriate locations.
25 If you're interested in making changes to Ninja, read HACKING.md first.

97 worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable

119 Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
120 modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
121 meet the following conditions:

137 include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
138 within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
139 pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
140 of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
141 as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
142 documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
143 within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
144 wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
145 of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
146 do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
147 notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
148 or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
149 that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
150 as modifying the License.
152 You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
153 may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
154 for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

157 the conditions stated in this License.
159 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
160 any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
161 by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
162 this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
163 Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

169 except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
170 origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
172 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
173 agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
174 Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
175 WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
176 implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
177 of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
178 PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
179 appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
180 risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
182 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
183 whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
184 unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
185 negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
186 liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
187 incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
188 result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
189 Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
190 work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
191 other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
192 has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
194 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
195 the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
196 and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
197 or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
198 License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
199 on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
200 of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
201 defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
202 incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
203 of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
