1	Artistic License 2.0
2
3	Copyright (c) 2000-2006, The Perl Foundation.
4
5	Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
6	document, but changing it is not allowed.
7
8	Preamble
9
10	This license establishes the terms under which a given free software Package may
11	be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed. The intent is that the
12	Copyright Holder maintains some artistic control over the development of that
13	Package while still keeping the Package available as open source and free
14	software.
15
16	You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this license
17	directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the terms of this
18	license do not permit the full use that you propose to make of the Package, you
19	should contact the Copyright Holder and seek a different licensing arrangement.
20
21	Definitions
22
23	"Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) named in the
24	copyright notice for the entire Package.
25
26	"Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other material to the
27	Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's procedures.
28
29	"You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy, distribute, or modify
30	the Package.
31
32	"Package" means the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder, and
33	derivatives of that collection and/or of those files. A given Package may
34	consist of either the Standard Version, or a Modified Version.
35
36	"Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it accessible to
37	anyone else, or in the case of a company or organization, to others outside of
38	your company or organization.
39
40	"Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing this Package or
41	providing support for this Package to another party. It does not mean licensing
42	fees.
43
44	"Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been modified, or has
45	been modified only in ways explicitly requested by the Copyright Holder.
46
47	"Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and such changes
48	were not explicitly requested by the Copyright Holder.
49
50	"Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with the Standard
51	Version of the Package, in its current version or as it may be modified by The
52	Perl Foundation in the future.
53
54	"Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and configuration
55	files for the Package.
56
57	"Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, or any other
58	form resulting from mechanical transformation or translation of the Source form.
59
60	Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
61
62	(1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use Modified
63	Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that you do not
64	Distribute the Modified Version.
65
66	Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
67
68	(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the Standard
69	Version of this Package in any medium without restriction, either gratis or for
70	a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate all of the original copyright
71	notices and associated disclaimers. At your discretion, such verbatim copies may
72	or may not include a Compiled form of the Package.
73
74	(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other modifications
75	made available from the Copyright Holder. The resulting Package will still be
76	considered the Standard Version, and as such will be subject to the Original
77	License.
78
79	Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
80
81	(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis or for a
82	Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the Modified Version)
83	provided that you clearly document how it differs from the Standard Version,
84	including, but not limited to, documenting any non-standard features,
85	executables, or modules, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
86
87	(a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder of the Standard
88	Version, under the Original License, so that the Copyright Holder may
89	include your modifications in the Standard Version.
90	(b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not prevent the user
91	installing or running the Standard Version. In addition, the Modified
92	Version must bear a name that is different from the name of the Standard
93	Version.
94	(c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to make the Source
95	form of the Modified Version available to others under
96	(i) the Original License or
97	(ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy, modify and
98	redistribute the Modified Version using the same licensing terms that
99	apply to the copy that the licensee received, and requires that the
100	Source form of the Modified Version, and of any works derived from it,
101	be made freely available in that license fees are prohibited but
102	Distributor Fees are allowed.
103
104	Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version or Modified Versions
105	without the Source
106
107	(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without the
108	Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to get the Source
109	of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be valid at the time of your
110	distribution. If these instructions, at any time while you are carrying out such
111	distribution, become invalid, you must provide new instructions on demand or
112	cease further distribution. If you provide valid instructions or cease
113	distribution within thirty days after you become aware that the instructions are
114	invalid, then you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.
115
116	(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without the Source,
117	provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to the Source of the
118	Modified Version.
119
120	Aggregating or Linking the Package
121
122	(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or Modified
123	Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting aggregation provided
124	that you do not charge a licensing fee for the Package. Distributor Fees are
125	permitted, and licensing fees for other components in the aggregation are
126	permitted. The terms of this license apply to the use and Distribution of the
127	Standard or Modified Versions as included in the aggregation.
128
129	(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with other works,
130	to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to build stand-alone
131	binary or bytecode versions of applications that include the Package, and
132	Distribute the result without restriction, provided the result does not expose a
133	direct interface to the Package.
134
135	Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
136
137	(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that merely
138	extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause the Package to
139	be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not considered parts of the
140	Package itself, and are not subject to the terms of this license.
141
142	General Provisions
143
144	(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or Modified
145	Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using, modifying or
146	distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not use, modify, or
147	distribute the Package, if you do not accept this license.
148
149	(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified Version made by
150	someone other than you, you are nevertheless required to ensure that your
151	Modified Version complies with the requirements of this license.
152
153	(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark, service
154	mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder.
155
156	(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide, free-of-charge patent
157	license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import and otherwise
158	transfer the Package with respect to any patent claims licensable by the
159	Copyright Holder that are necessarily infringed by the Package. If you institute
160	patent litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party
161	alleging that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent
162	infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the date that
163	such litigation is filed.
164
165	(14) Disclaimer of Warranty: THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND
166	CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED
167	WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
168	NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW.
169	UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE LIABLE FOR
170	ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY
171	OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
172	DAMAGE.
