+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ Preamble
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+ parties under the terms of this License.
+
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+ NO WARRANTY
+
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+ Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+ Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
+
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+ (at your option) any later version.
+
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+ along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+ Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+ <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+ Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+Anope DefCon
+------------
+
+1) Introduction
+2) Installation
+3) Configuration
+4) Usage
+5) Usage Example
+6) Support
+
+1) Introduction
+
+ Anope 1.6 onwards supports a unique protection mechanism based on the
+ military "Defense Readiness Condition" (DefCon) system. It is based on
+ 5 levels of defense readiness defined as:
+
+ DEFCON5 Normal peacetime readiness
+ DEFCON4 Increased intelligence and security readiness
+ DEFCON3 Increase in force readiness
+ DEFCON2 Further increase in force readiness
+ DEFCON1 Maximum force readiness.
+
+ These are configurable levels that mandates what actions Anope should
+ take in case of emergency and change in readiness status.
+
+ It is used to prevent abuse to both Services, and the ircd on which they
+ are running. Also to protect the users, primarily in the event of Clones
+ and/or FloodBOT attacks.
+
+2) Installation
+
+ The DefCon system is part of Anope's core,
+
+ The DefCon system has to be configured on your services.conf file to
+ be enabled. All directives are optional unless they depend on what
+ options you enable for each level. Look for the "DefCon configuration"
+ section on your services.conf file for more information.
+
+ Make sure you restart Anope after changing the DefCon configuration
+ directives.
+
+3) Configuration
+
+ Pre-defined DefCon actions:
+
+ No new channel registrations 1
+ No New Nick Registrations 2
+ No MLOCK changes 4
+ Force Chan Mode 8
+ Use Reduced Session Limit 16
+ KILL any new clients trying to connect 32
+ Services will ignore everyone but opers 64
+ Services will silently ignore everyone but opers 128
+ AKILL all new clients trying to connect 256
+ No new memos sent to block MemoServ attacks 512
+
+ These are the values used to determine each defcon setting, are set via:
+
+ DefCon1 XX
+ DefCon2 XX
+ DefCon3 XX
+ DefCon4 XX
+
+ To set the desired value, you simply add the value of the numbers together
+ and place that as your DefCon# setting. For instance:
+
+ Say you wish to set:
+
+ No Channel Registrations, No Nickname Registrations and Services Ignoring
+ everyone except for Operators. You would do this by:
+
+ 1 + 2 + 128 (Each value listed above is added together)
+ Giving: 131
+
+ You would then place this as which ever Defcon setting you want:
+
+ DefCon1 131
+
+ The recommended default values are safe to use on any network.
+
+4) Usage
+
+ Anope starts up in DEFCON5 (normal readiness). To change the Defcon level
+ in action use:
+
+ /msg OperServ DEFCON 1|2|3|4|5
+
+5) Usage Example
+
+ Place the network on DEFCON4:
+
+ /msg OperServ DEFCON 4
+
+ *** Global -- from OperServ: dengel Changed the DEFCON level to 4
+
+ -OperServ- Services are now at DEFCON 4
+ -OperServ- * No new channel registrations
+ -OperServ- * No new nick registrations
+ -OperServ- * No MLOCK changes
+ -OperServ- * Use the reduced session limit of 5
+
+ -Global- The Defcon Level is now at Level: 4
+
+ Restore normal readiness:
+
+ /msg OperServ DEFCON 5
+
+ *** Global -- from OperServ: dengel Changed the DEFCON level to 5
+
+ -OperServ- Services are now at DEFCON 5
+
+ -Global- Services are now back to normal, sorry for any inconvenience
+
+6) Support
+
+ You might get DefCon support by posting on our online forum, or maybe on
+ our #anope channel at /server irc.anope.org.

+Anope Internal Events
+---------------------
+
+1) Intro
+2) Complex Events
+3) Triggered Events
+4) Triggered Events List
+
+1) Introduction to Internal Events
+
+ Internal Events are setup to give module developers more information
+ about what the core is doing at different times. This information can
+ be as complex as data we are feeding to the uplink, to simple triggered
+ events such as the databases being saved. A list of triggered events
+ can be found below. Additional there is a module included with the core
+ which can provide some clue as to how to use the code in your modules.
+ The rest of this document assumes that you are used to writing modules.
+
+2) Complex Events
+
+ This type of events are based around what happens when we talk to the
+ IRCd, much like MESSAGE events that the IRCD sends to us. The events
+ are triggered when Anope writes to the ircd. To watch for these events
+ you must have some knowledge of how the IRCd command system works. In
+ our example we will trap for NICK events.
+
+ A) All functions most be formatted as:
+
+ int functioname(char *source, int ac, char **av);
+
+ B) In AnopeInit you must declare EvtMessage in some fashion, it is into
+ this variable that we will create the event handler. Here is what the
+ base AnopeInit should look like at this point:
+
+ int AnopeInit(int argc, char **argv)
+ {
+ EvtMessage *msg = NULL;
+ int status;
+
+ moduleAddAuthor(AUTHOR);
+ moduleAddVersion(VERSION);
+ return MOD_CONT;
+ }
+
+ Note that AUTHOR and VERSION should be defined above the AnopeInit
+ function, just like you should do with any module.
+
+ C) Pass "createEventHandler" the name of the message in this case NICK,
+ and the function that was created in Step A. At this point you should
+ assign the return of "createEventHandler" to the EvtMessage variable.
+
+ msg = createEventHandler("NICK", my_nick);
+
+ D) The Handler is not ready for use yet; now you must add it to the hash
+ with "moduleAddEventHandler". You will want to pass to this function
+ the return of "createEventHandler".
+
+ status = moduleAddEventHandler(msg);
+
+ It will return the same module error codes as adding a regular message,
+ which you can use to confirm it was added correctly.
+
+ E) With that setup in your function you will be passed 3 items. The source
+ most of the time this will be set to ServerName or NULL; consult our
+ IRCd documentation about how messages are formatted. AC is the count of
+ variables you will find in AV.
+
+ int my_nick(char *source, int ac, char **av)
+ {
+ alog("Internal Event - nick is %s",av[0]);
+ return MOD_CONT;
+ }
+
+3) Triggered Events
+
+ These events also known as "event hooks" are internal events such as
+ expiring of nicks to the saving of databases.
+
+ A) All functions most be formatted as:
+
+ int functioname(int argc, char **argv);
+
+ B) In AnopeInit you must declare EvtHook in some fashion; it is into
+ this variable that we will create the event handler. Here is what
+ the base AnopeInit should look like at this point:
+
+ int AnopeInit(int argc, char **argv)
+ {
+ EvtHook *hook = NULL;
+ int status;
+
+ moduleAddAuthor(AUTHOR);
+ moduleAddVersion(VERSION);
+ return MOD_CONT;
+ }
+
+ C) Pass "createEventHook" the name of the event. In this case we are
+ going to hook to the saving of databases, "EVENT_DB_SAVING".
+
+ hook = createEventHook(EVENT_DB_SAVING, my_save);
+
+ D) The Handler is not ready for use yet; now you must add it to the hash
+ with "moduleAddEventHook". You will want to pass to this function the
+ return of "createEventHook"
+
+ status = moduleAddEventHook(hook);
+
+ It will return the same module error codes as adding a regular message,
+ which you can use to confirm it was added correctly.
+
+ E) With that setup in your function you will be passed 1 item. The message
+ is very simple; it could be as simple as a start, stop or message. In
+ the case of saving it has a start and stop.
+
+ int my_save(int argc, char **argv)
+ {
+ if (argc < 1) {
+ return MOD_CONT;
+ }
+
+ if (!stricmp(argv[0], EVENT_START)) {
+ alog("Saving the databases! has started");
+ } else {
+ alog("Saving the databases is complete");
+ }
+ return MOD_CONT;
+ }
+
+4) Triggered Events List
+
+ Here's a list of all event hooks we currently offer, with a description
+ of what argument is being passed to the event functions for this type of
+ event. All arguments are plain-text strings (char *). The list is sorted
+ in alphabetical order.
+
+ Note that all events are emitted AFTER the action has taken place, so
+ any deleted nick/channel/etc won't exist anymore and any created one will
+ exist when your function is being run, unless noted otherwise.
+
+ Also note that EVENT_START and EVENT_STOP should not be matched with an
+ equal sign, but with string comparision. See the bundled events module for
+ an example on how to do this.
+
+ The arguments are given as av[0] for the first argument, av[1] for the
+ second argument, and so on. If av[0] and av[1] are given, the event has
+ two arguments, and argc should be 2.
+
+ EVENT_ACCESS_ADD
+ An user has been added to a channel access list.
