5 The "Artistic License"
6
7 Preamble
8
9 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
10 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
11 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
12 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
13 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
14 reasonable modifications.
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. You may embed this Package's interpreter within
94 an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
95 form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
96 interpreter is so embedded.
97
98 6. The source code and object code supplied as input to or produced as
99 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
100 under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
101 them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
102 Package.
103
104 7. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
105 permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
106 when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
107 to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
108 construed as a distribution of this Package.
109
110 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
111 products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
112
113 9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
114 IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
115 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
