                 - The Clarified Artistic License -


o. 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.

o. 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.

o. Context:

    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.

    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.

    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:

        o. 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.

        o. use the modified Package only within your corporation or
            organization.

        o. 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.

        o. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
           Holder.

        o. permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the
           modified Package permission to make your modifications
           Freely Available in some specific way.

    You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
    executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the
    following:

        o. 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.

        o. accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source
           of the Package with your modifications.

        o. 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.

        o. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
           Holder.

        o. offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your
           modifications, by mail order.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
    promote products derived from this software without specific prior
    written permission.

    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.
