                     - The Clarified Artistic License -

i. 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.

ii. 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.

iii. Context

    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.

   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.
