   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         "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
  29         basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
  30         and so on.  (You will not be required to justify it to the
  31         Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large
  32         as a market that must bear the fee.)
  33
  34         "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
  35         itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item.
  36         It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
  37         under the same conditions they received it.
  38
  39 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
  40 Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
  41 duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
  42
  43 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
  44 derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder.  A Package
  45 modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
  46
  47 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
  48 that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
  49 when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
  50 following:
  51
  52     a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
  53     Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or
  54     an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive
  55     site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
  56     your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
  57
  58     b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
  59
  60     c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
  61     with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
  62     a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
  63     documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
  64
  65     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  66
  67 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
  68 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
  69
  70     a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
  71     together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
  72     to get the Standard Version.
  73
  74     b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
  75     the Package with your modifications.
  76
  77     c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
  78     document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
  79     with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
  80
  81     d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
  82
  83 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
  84 Package.  You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
  85 Package.  You may not charge a fee for this Package itself.  However,
  86 you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
  87 commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
  88 distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
  89 product of your own.  You may embed this Package's interpreter within
  90 an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
  91 form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
  92 interpreter is so embedded.
  93
  94 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
  95 output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
  96 under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
  97 them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
  98 Package.  If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
  99 Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
 100 binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
 101 neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
 102 fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
 103 not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
 104 Package.
 105
 106 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
 107 languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
 108 emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
 109 Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
 110 equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
 111 not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
 112 regression tests for the language.
 113
 114 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
 115 permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
 116 when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
 117 to the end user of the commercial distribution.  Such use shall not be
 118 construed as a distribution of this Package.
 119
 120 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
 121 products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
 122
 123 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
 124 IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
 125 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
