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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(14) Disclaimer of Warranty:
|
||
|
THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS
|
||
|
IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED
|
||
|
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
|
||
|
NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL
|
||
|
LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL
|
||
|
BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
|
||
|
DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF
|
||
|
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
