---|
10 | This license establishes the terms under which a given free software |
---|
11 | Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed. |
---|
12 | The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic |
---|
13 | control over the development of that Package while still keeping the |
---|
14 | Package available as open source and free software. |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this |
---|
17 | license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the |
---|
18 | terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to |
---|
19 | make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek |
---|
20 | a different licensing arrangement. |

---|
45 | party. It does not mean licensing fees. |

82 | |
---|
83 | (3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other |

---|
97 | |
---|
98 | (a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder |

---|
101 | Version. |
---|
102 | |
---|
103 | (b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not |

---|
106 | from the name of the Standard Version. |

111 | |
---|
112 | (i) the Original License or |
---|
113 | |
---|
114 | (ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy, |
---|
115 | modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same |
---|
116 | licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee |
---|
117 | received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified |
---|
118 | Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely |
---|
119 | available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor |
---|
120 | Fees are allowed. |
---|
121 | |
---|
122 | |
---|
123 | Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version |
---|
124 | or Modified Versions without the Source |
---|
125 | |
---|
126 | (5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without |
---|
127 | the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to |
---|
128 | get the Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be |
---|
129 | valid at the time of your distribution. If these instructions, at any |
---|
130 | time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you |
---|
131 | must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution. |
---|
132 | If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty |
---|
133 | days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then |
---|
134 | you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license. |
---|
135 | |
---|
136 | (6c9) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without |
---|
137 | the Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to |
---|
138 | the Source of the Modified Version. |

---|
141 | Aggregating or Linking the Package |
---|
142 | |
---|
143 | (7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or |
---|
144 | Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting |
---|
145 | aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the |
---|
146 | Package. Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other |
---|
147 | components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license |
---|
148 | apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions |
---|
149 | as included in the aggregation. |
---|
150 | |
---|
151 | (8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with |
---|
152 | other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to |
---|
153 | build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that |
---|
154 | include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction, |
---|
155 | provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package. |
---|
156 | |
---|
157 | |
---|
158 | Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version |
---|
159 | |
---|
160 | (9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that |
---|
161 | merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause |
---|
162 | the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not |
---|
163 | considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the |
---|
164 | terms of this license. |
---|
165 | |
---|
166 | |
---|
167 | General Provisions |
---|
168 | |
---|
169 | (10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or |
---|
170 | Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using, |
---|
171 | modifying or distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not |
---|
172 | use, modify, or distribute the Package, if you do not accept this |
---|
173 | license. |
---|
174 | |
---|
175 | (11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified |
---|
176 | Version made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required |
---|
177 | to ensure that your Modified Version complies with the requirements of |
---|
178 | this license. |
---|
179 | |
---|
180 | (12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark, |
---|
181 | service mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder. |
---|
182 | |
---|
183 | (13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide, |
---|
184 | free-of-charge patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, |
---|
185 | sell, import and otherwise transfer the Package with respect to any |
---|
186 | patent claims licensable by the Copyright Holder that are necessarily |
---|
187 | infringed by the Package. If you institute patent litigation |
---|
188 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging |
---|
189 | that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent |
---|
190 | infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the |
---|
191 | date that such litigation is filed. |
---|
192 | |
---|
193 | (14) Disclaimer of Warranty: |
---|
194 | THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS |
---|
195 | IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED |
---|
196 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR |
---|
197 | NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL |
---|
198 | LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL |
---|
199 | BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL |
---|
200 | DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF |
---|
201 | ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. |
