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'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 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'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
