Preamble
|
|
8 |
|
|
9 |
This license establishes the terms under which a given free software
|
|
10 |
Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed.
|
|
11 |
The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic
|
|
12 |
control over the development of that Package while still keeping the
|
|
13 |
Package available as open source and free software.
|
|
14 |
|
|
15 |
You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this
|
|
16 |
license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the
|
|
17 |
terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to
|
|
18 |
make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek
|
|
19 |
a different licensing arrangement.

|
|
47 |
modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested

|
48 |
by the Copyright Holder.
|
|

"Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and

Holder.
|
|
53 |

|
54 |
"Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with

65 |

Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
|
|
67 |
|
|
68 |
(1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use
|
|
69 |
Modified Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that
|
|
70 |
you do not Distribute the Modified Version.
|
|
71 |
|
|
72 |
|
|
73 |
Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version

(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the
|
|
76 |
Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction,
|
|
77 |
either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate
|
|
78 |
all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. At
|
|
79 |
your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include a
|
|
80 |

|
|
81 |
|
|
82 |
(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other

|
83 |

|
|

will be subject to the Original License.
|
|
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
|
88 |
Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
|
|
89 |
|
|

(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis
|
|
91 |
or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the
|
|
92 |
Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs
|
|
93 |
from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting
|
|
94 |
any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that
|
|
95 |
you do at least ONE of the following:
|
|
96 |
|
|
97 |
(a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder
|
|
98 |
of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the
|
|
99 |
Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard
|
|
100 |
Version.
|
|
101 |
|
|
102 |
(b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not
|
|
103 |
prevent the user installing or running the Standard Version. In
|
|
104 |
addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is different
|
|
105 |
from the name of the Standard Version.
|
|
106 |
|
|
107 |
(c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to
|
|
108 |
make the Source form of the Modified Version available to others
|
|
109 |
under
|
|
110 |
|
|
111 |
(i) the Original License or
|
|
112 |
|
|
113 |
(ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,
|
|
114 |
modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same
|
|
115 |
licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee
|
|
116 |
received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified
|
|
117 |
Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely
|
|
118 |
available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor
|
|
119 |
Fees are allowed.
|
|
120 |
|
|
121 |
|
|
122 |
Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version
|
|
123 |
or Modified Versions without the Source
|
|
124 |
|
|
125 |
(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without
|
|
126 |
the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to
|
|
127 |
get the Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be
|
|
128 |
valid at the time of your distribution. If these instructions, at any
|
|
129 |
time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you
|
|
130 |
must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution.
|
|
131 |
If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty
|
|
132 |
days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then
|
|
133 |
you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.
|
|
134 |
|
|
135 |
(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without
|
|
136 |
the Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to
|
|
137 |
the Source of the Modified Version.
|
|
138 |
|
|
139 |
|
|
140 |
Aggregating or Linking the Package
|
|
141 |
|
|
142 |
(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or
|
|
143 |
Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting
|
|
144 |
aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the
|
|
145 |
Package. Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other
|
|
146 |
components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license
|
|
147 |
apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions
|
|
148 |
as included in the aggregation.
|
|
149 |
|
|
150 |
(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with
|
|
151 |
other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to
|
|
152 |
build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that
|
|
153 |
include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction,
|
|
154 |
provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
|
|
155 |
|
|
156 |
|
|
157 |
Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
|
|
158 |
|
|
159 |
(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that
|
|
160 |
merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause
|
|
161 |
the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not
|
|
162 |
considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the
|
|
163 |
terms of this license.
|
|
164 |
|
|
165 |
|
|
166 |
General Provisions
|
|
167 |
|
|
168 |
(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or
|
|
169 |
Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using,
|
|
170 |
modifying or distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not
|
|
171 |
use, modify, or distribute the Package, if you do not accept this
|
|
172 |
license.
|
|
173 |
|
|
174 |
(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified
|
|
175 |
Version made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required
|
|
176 |
to ensure that your Modified Version complies with the requirements of
|
|
177 |
this license.
|
|
178 |
|
|
179 |
(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark,
|
|
180 |
service mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder.
|
|
181 |
|
|
182 |
(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide,
|
|
183 |
free-of-charge patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell,
|
|
184 |
sell, import and otherwise transfer the Package with respect to any
|
|
185 |
patent claims licensable by the Copyright Holder that are necessarily
|
|
186 |
infringed by the Package. If you institute patent litigation
|
|
187 |
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging
|
|
188 |
that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent
|
|
189 |
infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the
|
|
190 |
date that such litigation is filed.
|
|
191 |
|
|
192 |
(14) Disclaimer of Warranty:
|
|
193 |
THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS

WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
|
|
196 |
NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL
|
|
197 |
LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL
|
|
198 |
BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
|
|
199 |
DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF
|
|
