The Clarified 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.

"Distribution fee" is a fee you charge for providing a copy of this Package
to another party.

"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the right to use the item,
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 those made Freely Available, 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 network archive site allowing
unrestricted access to them, 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.

e) permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified Package
permission to make your modifications Freely Available in some specific way.

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.

e) offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your modifications,
by mail order.

5. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this Package.
If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any fee you choose for
that support. You may not charge a license fee for the right to use this Package
itself. You may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
commercial and possibly nonfree) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial
and possibly nonfree) software distribution, and charge license fees for other
parts of that software distribution, provided that you do not advertise this
Package as a product of your own. If the Package includes an interpreter,
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 whoever 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 the Standard Version of the 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.
