5 Preamble |
|
6 |
|
7 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a |
|
8 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some |
|
9 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, |
|
10 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute |
|
11 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to |
|
12 make reasonable modifications. |
|
13 |
|
14 Definitions |
|
15 |
|
16 "Package" refers to the script, suite, file, or collection of |
|
17 scripts, suites, and/or files distributed by the Copyright Holder, |
|
18 and to derivatives of that Package created through textual modification. |
|
19 |
|
20 "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been |
|
21 modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of |
|
22 the Copyright Holder. |
|
23 |
|
24 "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright statement |
|
25 or statements for the package. |
|
26 |
|
27 "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing |
|
28 this Package. |
|
29 |
|
30 "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis |
|
31 of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and |
|
32 so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright |
|
33 Holder, but only to the computing community at large as a market |
|
34 that must bear the fee.) |
|
35 |
|
36 "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item |
|
37 itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. |
|
38 It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it under |
|
39 the same conditions they received it. |
