+NAME
+ perlartistic - the Perl Artistic License
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ You can refer to this document in Pod via "L<perlartistic>"
+ Or you can see this document by entering "perldoc perlartistic"
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ This is "The Artistic License". It's here so that modules, programs,
+ etc., that want to declare this as their distribution license, can link
+ to it.
+
+ It is also one of the two licenses Perl allows itself to be
+ redistributed and/or modified; for the other one, the GNU General Public
+ License, see the perlgpl.
+
+The "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.
+
+ "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.)
+
+ "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.
+
+ Conditions
+ 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 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 archive site such as uunet.uu.net, 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ The End
+
