+                      The Artistic License 2.0

 
 

+           Copyright (c) 2000-2006, The Perl Foundation.

 
 

+     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+      of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

 
 

+Preamble

 
 

-                        The "Artistic License"
+This license establishes the terms under which a given free software
+Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed.
+The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic
+control over the development of that Package while still keeping the
+Package available as open source and free software.

 
 

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

 
 

-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

 
 

-Definitions:
+    "Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s)
+    named in the copyright notice for the entire Package.

 
 

-       "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.
+    "Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other
+    material to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's
+    procedures.

 
 

-       "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.)
+    "You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy,
+    distribute, or modify the Package.

 
 

-       "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.
+    "Package" means the collection of files distributed by the
+    Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection and/or of
+    those files. A given Package may consist of either the Standard
+    Version, or a Modified Version.

 
 

-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.
+    "Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it
+    accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a company or
+    organization, to others outside of your company or organization.

 
 

-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.
+    "Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing
+    this Package or providing support for this Package to another
+    party.  It does not mean licensing fees.

 
 

-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:
+    "Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been
+    modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested
+    by the Copyright Holder.

 
 

-    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.
+    "Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and
+    such changes were not explicitly requested by the Copyright
+    Holder. 

 
 

-    b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
+    "Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with
+    the Standard Version of the Package, in its current version or as
+    it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future.

 
 

-    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.
+    "Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and
+    configuration files for the Package.

 
 

-    d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+    "Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary,
+    or any other form resulting from mechanical transformation or
+    translation of the Source form.

 
 

-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.
+Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution

 
 

-    b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
-    the Package with your modifications.
+(1)  You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use
+Modified Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that
+you do not Distribute the Modified Version.

 
 

-    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.
+Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version

 
 

-5. 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.
+(2)  You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the
+Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction,
+either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate
+all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.  At
+your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include a
+Compiled form of the Package.
+
+(3)  You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other
+modifications made available from the Copyright Holder.  The resulting
+Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such
+will be subject to the Original License.
+
+
+Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source 
+
+(4)  You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis
+or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the
+Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs
+from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting
+any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that
+you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+    (a)  make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder
+    of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the
+    Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard
+    Version.
+
+    (b)  ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not
+    prevent the user installing or running the Standard Version. In
+    addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is different
+    from the name of the Standard Version.
+
+    (c)  allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to
+    make the Source form of the Modified Version available to others
+    under
+               
+       (i)  the Original License or
+
+       (ii)  a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,
+       modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same
+       licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee
+       received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified
+       Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely
+       available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor
+       Fees are allowed.
+
+
+Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version 
+or Modified Versions without the Source
+
+(5)  You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without
+the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to
+get the Source of the Standard Version.  Such instructions must be
+valid at the time of your distribution.  If these instructions, at any
+time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you
+must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution.
+If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty
+days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then
+you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.
+
+(6)  You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without
+the Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to
+the Source of the Modified Version.
+
+
+Aggregating or Linking the Package 
+
+(7)  You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or
+Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting
+aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the
+Package.  Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other
+components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license
+apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions
+as included in the aggregation.
+
+(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with
+other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to
+build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that
+include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction,
+provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
+
+
+Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version 
+
+(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that
+merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause
+the Package to be a Modified Version.  In addition, such works are not
+considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the
+terms of this license.
+
+
+General Provisions
+
+(10)  Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or
+Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using,
+modifying or distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not
+use, modify, or distribute the Package, if you do not accept this
+license.
+
+(11)  If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified
+Version made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required
+to ensure that your Modified Version complies with the requirements of
+this license.
+
+(12)  This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark,
+service mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder.
+
+(13)  This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide,
+free-of-charge patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell,
+sell, import and otherwise transfer the Package with respect to any
+patent claims licensable by the Copyright Holder that are necessarily
+infringed by the Package. If you institute patent litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging
+that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent
+infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the
+date that such litigation is filed.
+
+(14)  Disclaimer of Warranty:
+THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS
+IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
+NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL
+LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL
+BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
+DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF
+ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

 
 

-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 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.
-
-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.
