| 2 | The Artistic License | ||
| 3 | Preamble | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package | ||
| 6 | may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of | ||
| 7 | artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of | ||
| 8 | the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less | ||
| 9 | customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications. | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Definitions: | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the | ||
| 14 | Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through | ||
| 15 | textual modification. | ||
| 16 | "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been | ||
| 17 | modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright | ||
| 18 | Holder. | ||
| 19 | "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights | ||
| 20 | for the package. | ||
| 21 | "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this | ||
| 22 | Package. | ||
| 23 | "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of | ||
| 24 | media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will | ||
| 25 | not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the | ||
| 26 | computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.) | ||
| 27 | "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, | ||
| 28 | though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that | ||
| 29 | recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they | ||
| 30 | received it. | ||
| 31 | 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the | ||
| 32 | Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you | ||
| 33 | duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived | ||
| 36 | from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such | ||
| 37 | a way shall still be considered the Standard Version. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that | ||
| 40 | you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you | ||
| 41 | changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following: | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them Freely | ||
| 44 | Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent | ||
| 45 | medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site such as | ||
| 46 | ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications | ||
| 47 | in the Standard Version of the Package. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with | ||
| 52 | standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate | ||
| 53 | manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it | ||
| 54 | differs from the Standard Version. | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable | ||
| 59 | form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together | ||
| 62 | with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the | ||
| 63 | Standard Version. | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package | ||
| 66 | with your modifications. | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard | ||
| 69 | Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names, | ||
| 70 | and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), | ||
| 71 | together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this | ||
| 76 | Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may | ||
| 77 | not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this | ||
| 78 | Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a | ||
| 79 | larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not | ||
| 80 | advertise this Package as a product of your own. | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output | ||
| 83 | from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright | ||
| 84 | of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold | ||
| 85 | commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package. | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | 7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not | ||
| 88 | be considered part of this Package. | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote | ||
| 91 | products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | 9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR | ||
| 94 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | ||
| 95 | MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | The End | ||
