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 as specified below.
|
|
|
|
"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 uunet.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.give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
|
|
document 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. You may embed this Package's interpreter within an executable of
|
|
yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere form of
|
|
aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
|
|
interpreter is so embedded.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this Package via
|
|
the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a binary
|
|
executable image, then distribution of such an image shall neither be
|
|
construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it fall under the
|
|
restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do not represent
|
|
such an executable image as a Standard Version of this Package.
|
|
|
|
7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages)
|
|
supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate
|
|
subroutines and variables of the language defined by this Package shall
|
|
not be considered part of this Package, but are the equivalent of input
|
|
as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do not change the language
|
|
in any way that would cause it to fail the regression tests for the
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
|
|
permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
|
|
when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
|
|
to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
|
|
construed as a distribution of this Package.
|
|
|
|
9.The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
|
|
products derived from this software without specific prior written
|
|
permission.
|
|
|
|
10.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
