common-licenses: Adding new licenses and renaming
I'm adding full common licenses to the common license directory. These licenses are taken from the SPDX project or the OSI license repository. They conform to the SPDX naming convention and will be used by the new license.bbclass license parser in order to maintain some sort of internal standard for license naming. Going forward, we should have a bigger conversation about the LICENSE field and standardizing that to conform to this naming standard.

2The Clarified Artistic License
3
4Preamble
5
6The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
7Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
8semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
9while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
10the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
11reasonable modifications.
12
13Definitions:
14
15"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
16Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
17created through textual modification.
18
19"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
20modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
21of the Copyright Holder as specified below.
22
23"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
24copyrights for the package.
25
26"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
27this Package.
28
29"Distribution fee" is a fee you charge for providing a copy
30of this Package to another party.
31
32"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the right to
33use the item, though there may be fees involved in handling the
34item. It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute
35it under the same conditions they received it.
36
371. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
38Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
39duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
40
412. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
42derived from the Public Domain, or those made Freely Available, or from
43the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still be
44considered the Standard Version.
45
463. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
47that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
48when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
49following:
50
51a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
52Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
53equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major network
54archive site allowing unrestricted access to them, or by allowing the
55Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard Version
56of the Package.
57
58b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
59
60c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
61with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
62a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
63documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
64
65d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
66
67e) permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified Package
68permission to make your modifications Freely Available
69in some specific way.
70
71
724. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
73executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
74
75a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
76together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
77to get the Standard Version.
78
79b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
80the Package with your modifications.
81
82c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
83document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
84with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
85
86d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
87
88e) offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your
89modifications, by mail order.
90
915. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this Package.
92If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any fee you choose
93for that support. You may not charge a license fee for the right to use
94this Package itself. You may distribute this Package in aggregate with
95other (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) programs as part of a
96larger (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) software distribution,
97and charge license fees for other parts of that software distribution,
98provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.
99If the Package includes an interpreter, You may embed this Package's
100interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be
101construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete
102Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded.
103
1046. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
105output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
106under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
107them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
108Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
109Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of
110producing a
111binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
112neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
113fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
114not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
115Package.
116
1177. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
118languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
119emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
120Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
121equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
122not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
123regression tests for the language.
124
1258. Aggregation of the Standard Version of the Package with a commercial
126distribution is always permitted provided that the use of this Package
127is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's
128interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial distribution.
129Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this Package.
130
1319. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
132products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
133
13410. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
135IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
136WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
