+                      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.
+
+It also grants you the rights to reuse parts of a Package in your own
+programs without transferring this License to those programs, provided
+that you meet some reasonable requirements.
+
+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.
+
+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. You may reuse parts of this Package in your own programs, provided that
+you explicitly state where you got them from, in the source code (and, left
+to your courtesy, in the documentation), duplicating all the associated
+copyright notices and disclaimers. Besides your changes, if any, must be
+clearly marked as such. Parts reused that way will no longer fall under this
+license if, and only if, the name of your program(s) have no immediate
+connection with the name of the Package itself or its associated programs.
+You may then apply whatever restrictions you wish on the reused parts or
+choose to place them in the Public Domain--this will apply only within the
+context of your package.
+
+8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
+products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
+
+9. 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
