Preamble

********
10

11
This license establishes the terms under which a given free software
12
Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed.  The
13
intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic control over
14
the development of that Package while still keeping the Package
15
available as open source and free software.
16

17
You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this
18
license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package.  If the
19
terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to
20
make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek a
21
different licensing arrangement.

50
has been modified only in ways explicitly requested by the Copyright
51
Holder.

********************************************************
69

Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
75
******************************************************
76

77
(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the
78
Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction,
79
either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate all
80
of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.  At your
81
discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include a Compiled form
82
of the Package.
83

84
(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other
85
modifications made available from the Copyright Holder.  The resulting

Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such will
87
be subject to the Original License.
88

89
Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
90
**********************************************************
91

92
(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis or
93
for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the
94
Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs from
95
the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting any
96
non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that you do
97
at least ONE of the following:
98

99
(a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder of the
100
Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the Copyright
101
Holder may include your modifications in the Standard Version.
102

103
(b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not prevent
104
the user installing or running the Standard Version.  In addition, the
105
Modified Version must bear a name that is different from the name of the
106
Standard Version.
107

108
(c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to make the
109
Source form of the Modified Version available to others under
110

111
(i) the Original License or
112

113
(ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy, modify and
114
redistribute the Modified Version using the same licensing terms that
115
apply to the copy that the licensee received, and requires that the
116
Source form of the Modified Version, and of any works derived from it,
117
be made freely available in that license fees are prohibited but
118
Distributor Fees are allowed.
119

120
Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version or Modified
121
******************************************************************
122
Versions without the Source
123
***************************
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 valid
128
at the time of your distribution.  If these instructions, at any time
129
while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you must
130
provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution.  If
131
you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty days
132
after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then you do
133
not forfeit any of your rights under this license.
134

135
(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without the
136
Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to the
137
Source of the Modified Version.
138

139
Aggregating or Linking the Package
140
**********************************
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 other
151
works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to build
152
stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that include the
153
Package, and Distribute the result without restriction, provided the
154
result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
155

156
Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
157
********************************************************
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 terms
163
of this license.
164

165
General Provisions
166
******************
167

168
(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or Modified
169
Versions is governed by this Artistic License.  By using, modifying or
170
distributing the Package, you accept this license.  Do not use, modify,
171
or distribute the Package, if you do not accept this license.
172

173
(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified Version
174
made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required to ensure
175
that your Modified Version complies with the requirements of this
176

177

178
(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark,
179
service mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder.

181
(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide, free-of-charge
182
patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import and
183
otherwise transfer the Package with respect to any patent claims
184
licensable by the Copyright Holder that are necessarily infringed by the
185
Package.  If you institute patent litigation (including a cross-claim or
186
counterclaim) against any party alleging that the Package constitutes
187
direct or contributory patent infringement, then this Artistic License
188
to you shall terminate on the date that such litigation is filed.
