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
