0 | 1 | The "Artistic License" |
2 | ||
3 | Preamble | |
4 | ||
5 | The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a | |
6 | Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some | |
7 | semblance of artistic control over the development of the Package, | |
8 | while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute | |
9 | the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make | |
10 | reasonable modifications. | |
11 | ||
12 | It also grants you the rights to reuse parts of a Package in your own | |
13 | programs without transferring this License to those programs, provided | |
14 | that you meet some reasonable requirements. | |
15 | ||
16 | Definitions: | |
17 | ||
18 | "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the | |
19 | Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files | |
20 | created through textual modification. | |
21 | ||
22 | "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been | |
23 | modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes | |
24 | of the Copyright Holder as specified below. | |
25 | ||
26 | "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or | |
27 | copyrights for the package. | |
28 | ||
29 | "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing | |
30 | this Package. | |
31 | ||
32 | "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the | |
33 | basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, | |
34 | and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the | |
35 | Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large | |
36 | as a market that must bear the fee.) | |
37 | ||
38 | "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item | |
39 | itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. | |
40 | It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it | |
41 | under the same conditions they received it. | |
42 | ||
43 | 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the | |
44 | Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you | |
45 | duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. | |
46 | ||
47 | 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications | |
48 | derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package | |
49 | modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version. | |
50 | ||
51 | 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided | |
52 | that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and | |
53 | when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the | |
54 | following: | |
55 | ||
56 | a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them | |
57 | Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or | |
58 | an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive | |
59 | site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include | |
60 | your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package. | |
61 | ||
62 | b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. | |
63 | ||
64 | c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict | |
65 | with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide | |
66 | a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly | |
67 | documents how it differs from the Standard Version. | |
68 | ||
69 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | |
70 | ||
71 | 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or | |
72 | executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: | |
73 | ||
74 | a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, | |
75 | together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where | |
76 | to get the Standard Version. | |
77 | ||
78 | b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of | |
79 | the Package with your modifications. | |
80 | ||
81 | c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly | |
82 | document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together | |
83 | with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. | |
84 | ||
85 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | |
86 | ||
87 | 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this | |
88 | Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this | |
89 | Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, | |
90 | you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly | |
91 | commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software | |
92 | distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a | |
93 | product of your own. | |
94 | ||
95 | 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as | |
96 | output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall | |
97 | under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated | |
98 | them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this | |
99 | Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this | |
100 | Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a | |
101 | binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall | |
102 | neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it | |
103 | fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do | |
104 | not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this | |
105 | Package. | |
106 | ||
107 | 7. You may reuse parts of this Package in your own programs, provided that | |
108 | you explicitly state where you got them from, in the source code (and, left | |
109 | to your courtesy, in the documentation), duplicating all the associated | |
110 | copyright notices and disclaimers. Besides your changes, if any, must be | |
111 | clearly marked as such. Parts reused that way will no longer fall under this | |
112 | license if, and only if, the name of your program(s) have no immediate | |
113 | connection with the name of the Package itself or its associated programs. | |
114 | You may then apply whatever restrictions you wish on the reused parts or | |
115 | choose to place them in the Public Domain--this will apply only within the | |
116 | context of your package. | |
117 | ||
118 | 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote | |
119 | products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. | |
120 | ||
121 | 9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR | |
122 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED | |
123 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. | |
124 | ||
125 | The End |
