The "Artistic License"
2+
3+
Preamble
4+
5+
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
6+
Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
7+
semblance of artistic control over the development of the Package,
8+
while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
9+
the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
10+
reasonable modifications.
11+
12+
It also grants you the rights to reuse parts of a Package in your own
13+
programs without transferring this License to those programs, provided
14+
that you meet some reasonable requirements.
15+
16+
Definitions:
17+
18+
"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
19+
Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
20+
created through textual modification.
21+
22+
"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
23+
modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
24+
of the Copyright Holder as specified below.
25+
26+
"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
27+
copyrights for the package.
28+
29+
"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
30+
this Package.
31+
32+
"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
33+
basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
34+
and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the
35+
Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large
36+
as a market that must bear the fee.)
37+
38+
"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
39+
itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item.
40+
It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
41+
under the same conditions they received it.
42+
43+
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
44+
Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
45+
duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
46+
47+
2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
48+
derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
49+
modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
50+
51+
3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
52+
that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
53+
when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
54+
following:
55+
56+
a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
57+
Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or
58+
an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive
59+
site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
60+
your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
61+
62+
b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
63+
64+
c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
65+
with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
66+
a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
67+
documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
68+
69+
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
70+
71+
4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
72+
executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
73+
74+
a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
75+
together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
76+
to get the Standard Version.
77+
78+
b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
79+
the Package with your modifications.
80+
81+
c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
82+
document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
83+
with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
84+
85+
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
86+
87+
5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
88+
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
89+
Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
90+
you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
91+
commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
92+
distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
93+
product of your own.
94+
95+
6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
96+
output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
97+
under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
98+
them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
99+
Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
100+
Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
101+
binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
102+
neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
103+
fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
104+
not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
105+
Package.
106+
107+
7. You may reuse parts of this Package in your own programs, provided that
108+
you explicitly state where you got them from, in the source code (and, left
109+
to your courtesy, in the documentation), duplicating all the associated
110+
copyright notices and disclaimers. Besides your changes, if any, must be
111+
clearly marked as such. Parts reused that way will no longer fall under this
112+
license if, and only if, the name of your program(s) have no immediate
113+
connection with the name of the Package itself or its associated programs.
114+
You may then apply whatever restrictions you wish on the reused parts or
115+
choose to place them in the Public Domain--this will apply only within the
116+
context of your package.
117+
118+
8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
119+
products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
120+
121+
9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
122+
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
123+
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
