  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 as
  13. specified below.
  14. "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
  15. the package.
  16. "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
  17. "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
  18. cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will not
  19. be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing
  20. community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
  21. "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
  22. there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that recipients
  23. of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.
  24. 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the Standard
  25. Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you duplicate all
  26. of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
  27. 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
  28. from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in
  29. such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
  30. 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
  31. that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when
  32. you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  33. a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them Freely
  34. Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent
  35. medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site such as uunet.uu.net,
  36. or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard
  37. Version of the Package.
  38. b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
  39. c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with standard
  40. executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate manual page
  41. for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it differs from
  42. the Standard Version.
  43. d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  44. 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
  45. form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  46. a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together
  47. with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard
  48. Version.
  49. b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
  50. with your modifications.
  51. c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly document
  52. the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together with instructions
  53. 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. You may embed this Package's interpreter
  61. within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
  62. form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the interpreter
  63. is so embedded.
  64. 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
  65. from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
  66. of this Package, but belong to whoever generated them, and may be sold commercially,
  67. and may be aggregated with this Package. If such scripts or library files
  68. are aggregated with this Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods
  69. of producing a binary executable image, then distribution of such an image
  70. shall neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
  71. fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do not
  72. represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this Package.
  73. 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages) supplied
  74. by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate subroutines and variables
  75. of the language defined by this Package shall not be considered part of this
  76. Package, but are the equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these
  77. subroutines do not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail
  78. the regression tests for the language.
  79. 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always permitted
  80. provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, when no overt
  81. attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible to the end user
  82. of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be construed as a distribution
  83. of this Package.
  84. 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
  85. products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
  86. 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
  87. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND
  88. FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The End
