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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Definitions
|
|
|
|
"Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) named in the
|
|
copyright notice for the entire Package.
|
|
|
|
"Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other material
|
|
to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's procedures.
|
|
|
|
"You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy, distribute, or modify
|
|
the Package.
|
|
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
"Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and such changes
|
|
were not explicitly requested by the Copyright Holder.
|
|
|
|
"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.
|
|
|
|
"Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and configuration
|
|
files for the Package.
|
|
|
|
"Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, or any other
|
|
form resulting from mechanical transformation or translation of the Source
|
|
form.
|
|
|
|
Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
|
|
|
|
(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.
|
|
|
|
Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
|
|
|
|
(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.
|

|
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
