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 or perl 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
