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