+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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
+ promote products derived from this software without specific prior
+ written permission.
+
+ 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
