  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:
         1. 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.
         2. use the modified Package only within your corporation or
            organization.
         3. 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.
         4. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
         5. 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:
         1. 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.
         2. accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source
            of the Package with your modifications.
         3. 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.
         4. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
         5. 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.
