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.
