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 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 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
