| |
− | |Comment= This license is a free software license, compatible with the GPL. It is the minimal set of changes needed to correct the vagueness of the Artistic License 1.0.
| |
− | |Full text=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\x27re 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\x27s 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\x27s 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
| |
− | | |
− | License text goes here. White spaces will be preserved. <pre> tag is not required.
