   4
   5 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
   6 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
   7 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
   8 while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
   9 the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
  10 reasonable modifications.
  11
  12 Definitions:
  13
  14         "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
  15         Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
  16         created through textual modification.
  17
  18         "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
  19         modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
  20         of the Copyright Holder as specified below.
  21
  22         "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
  23         copyrights for the package.
  24
  25         "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
  26         this Package.
  27
  28         "Distribution fee" is a fee you charge for providing a copy
  29         of this Package to another party.
  30
  31         "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the right to
  32         use the item, though there may be fees involved in handling the
  33         item.  It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute
  34         it under the same conditions they received it.
  35
  36 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
  37 Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
  38 duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
  39
  40 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
  41 derived from the Public Domain, or those made Freely Available, or from
  42 the Copyright Holder.  A Package modified in such a way shall still be
  43 considered the Standard Version.
  44
  45 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
  46 that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
  47 when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
  48 following:
  49
  50     a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
  51     Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
  52     equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major network
  53     archive site allowing unrestricted access to them, or by allowing the
  54     Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard Version
  55     of the Package.
  56
  57     b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
  58
  59     c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
  60     with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
  61     a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
  62     documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
  63
  64     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  65
  66     e) permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified Package
  67        permission to make your modifications Freely Available
  68        in some specific way.
  69
  70
  71 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
  72 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  73
  74     a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
  75     together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
  76     to get the Standard Version.
  77
  78     b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
  79     the Package with your modifications.
  80
  81     c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
  82     document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
  83     with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
  84
  85     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  86
  87     e) offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your
  88        modifications, by mail order.
  89
  90 5. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this Package.
  91 If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any fee you choose
  92 for that support.  You may not charge a license fee for the right to use
  93 this Package itself.  You may distribute this Package in aggregate with
  94 other (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) programs as part of a
  95 larger (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) software distribution,
  96 and charge license fees for other parts of that software distribution,
  97 provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.
  98 If the Package includes an interpreter, You may embed this Package's
  99 interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be
 100 construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete
 101 Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded.
 102
 103 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
 104 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
 105 under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
 106 them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
 107 Package.  If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
 108 Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
 109 binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
 110 neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
 111 fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
 112 not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
 113 Package.
 114
 115 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
 116 languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
 117 emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
 118 Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
 119 equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
 120 not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
 121 regression tests for the language.
 122
 123 8. Aggregation of the Standard Version of the Package with a commercial
 124 distribution is always permitted provided that the use of this Package
 125 is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's
 126 interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial distribution.
 127 Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this Package.
 128
 129 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
 130 products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
 131
 132 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
 133 IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
 134 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 135
