  1. The Artistic License
  2. Preamble
  3. The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
  4. may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
  5. artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users
  6. of the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
  7. customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
  8. Definitions:
  9. "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder,
  10. and derivatives of that collection of files created through textual modification.
  11. "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified, or
  12. has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright Holder.
  13. "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
  14. the package.
  15. "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
  16. "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
  17. cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will not
  18. be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing
  19. community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
  20. "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
  21. there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that recipients
  22. of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.
  23. 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the Standard
  24. Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you duplicate all
  25. of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
  26. 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
  27. from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in
  28. such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
  29. 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
  30. that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when
  31. you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  32. a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them Freely
  33. Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent
  34. medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site such as ftp.uu.net,
  35. or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard
  36. Version of the Package.
  37. b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
  38. c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with standard
  39. executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate manual page
  40. for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it differs from
  41. the Standard Version.
  42. d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  43. 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
  44. form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  45. a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together
  46. with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard
  47. Version.
  48. b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
  49. with your modifications.
  50. c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
  51. Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names,
  52. and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
  53. with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
  54. d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  55. 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this Package.
  56. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may not
  57. charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this Package
  58. in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger
  59. (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not advertise
  60. this Package as a product of your own.
  61. 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
  62. from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
  63. of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold commercially,
  64. and may be aggregated with this Package.
  65. 7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall
  66. not be considered part of this Package.
  67. 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
  68. products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
  69. 9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
  70. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND
  71. FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The End
