| − | |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're 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.
