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 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.
The End
