  1. The Clarified 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. "Distribution fee" is a fee you charge for providing a copy of this Package
  18. to another party.
  19. "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the right to use the item,
  20. though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
  21. recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
  22. 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 those made Freely Available, or from the Copyright
  28. Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard
  29. 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 network archive site allowing
  36. unrestricted access to them, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
  37. your modifications in the Standard 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. e) permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified Package
  45. permission to make your modifications Freely Available in some specific way.
  46. 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
  47. form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  48. a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together
  49. with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard
  50. Version.
  51. b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
  52. with your modifications.
  53. c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly document
  54. the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together with instructions
  55. on where to get the Standard Version.
  56. d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  57. e) offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your modifications,
  58. by mail order.
  59. 5. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this Package.
  60. If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any fee you choose for
  61. that support. You may not charge a license fee for the right to use this Package
  62. itself. You may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
  63. commercial and possibly nonfree) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial
  64. and possibly nonfree) software distribution, and charge license fees for other
  65. parts of that software distribution, provided that you do not advertise this
  66. Package as a product of your own. If the Package includes an interpreter,
  67. You may embed this Package's interpreter within an executable of yours (by
  68. linking); this shall be construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided
  69. that the complete Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded.
  70. 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
  71. from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
  72. of this Package, but belong to whoever generated them, and may be sold commercially,
  73. and may be aggregated with this Package. If such scripts or library files
  74. are aggregated with this Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods
  75. of producing a binary executable image, then distribution of such an image
  76. shall neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
  77. fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do not
  78. represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this Package.
  79. 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages) supplied
  80. by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate subroutines and variables
  81. of the language defined by this Package shall not be considered part of this
  82. Package, but are the equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these
  83. subroutines do not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail
  84. the regression tests for the language.
  85. 8. Aggregation of the Standard Version of the Package with a commercial distribution
  86. is always permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that
  87. is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
  88. to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be construed
  89. as a distribution of this Package.
  90. 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
  91. products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
  92. 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES,
  93. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND
  94. FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. The End
