The Artistic License

Preamble

The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package

may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of

artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of the

package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary

fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.

Definitions:

-    "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright

     Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through textual

     modification. 

-    "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,

     or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright

     Holder. 

-    "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for

     the package. 

-    "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.

-    "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of

     media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You

     will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the

     computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.) 

-    "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though

     there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that

     recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they

     received it. 

1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the

Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you duplicate

all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.

2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived from

the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such a

way shall still be considered the Standard Version.

3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided

that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when

you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:

     a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise

     make them Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications

     to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on

     a major archive site such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the

     Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard

     Version of the Package.

     b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or

     organization.

     c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not

     conflict with standard executables, which must also be provided,

     and provide a separate manual page for each non-standard

     executable that clearly documents how it differs from the Standard

     Version.

     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.

4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable

form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:

     a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library

     files, together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent)

     on where to get the Standard Version.

     b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of

     the Package with your modifications.

     c) accompany any non-standard executables with their

     corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the

     non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly

     documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent),

     together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.

     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.

5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this Package.

You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may not

charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this Package in

aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger

(possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not advertise

this Package as a product of your own.

6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output from

the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright of this

Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold

commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.

7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not

be considered part of this Package.

8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote

products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE.
