    		     The Clarified Artistic License

    				Preamble

    The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
    Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
    semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
    while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
    the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
    reasonable modifications.

    Definitions:

    	"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
    	Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
    	created through textual modification.

    	"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
    	modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
    	of the Copyright Holder as specified below.

    	"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
    	copyrights for the package.

    	"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
    	this Package.

    	"Distribution fee" is a fee you charge for providing a copy
            of this Package to another party.

    	"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the right to
            use the item, though there may be fees involved in handling the
            item.  It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute
            it under the same conditions they received it.

    1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
    Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
    duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.

    2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
    derived from the Public Domain, or those made Freely Available, or from
    the Copyright Holder.  A Package modified in such a way shall still be
    considered the Standard Version.

    3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
    that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
    when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
    following:

        a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
        Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
        equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major network
        archive site allowing unrestricted access to them, or by allowing the
        Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard Version
        of the Package.

        b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.

        c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
        with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
        a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
        documents how it differs from the Standard Version.

        d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.

        e) permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified Package
           permission to make your modifications Freely Available
           in some specific way.

    4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
    executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:

        a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
        together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
        to get the Standard Version.

        b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
        the Package with your modifications.

        c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
        document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
        with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.

        d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.

        e) offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your
           modifications, by mail order.

    5. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this Package.
    If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any fee you choose
    for that support.  You may not charge a license fee for the right to use
    this Package itself.  You may distribute this Package in aggregate with
    other (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) programs as part of a
    larger (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree) software distribution,
    and charge license fees for other parts of that software distribution,
    provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.
    If the Package includes an interpreter, You may embed this Package's
    interpreter within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be
    construed as a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete
    Standard Version of the interpreter is so embedded.

    6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
    output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
    under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
    them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
    Package.  If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
    Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
    binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
    neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
    fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
    not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
    Package.

    7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
    languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
    emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
    Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
    equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
    not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
    regression tests for the language.

    8. Aggregation of the Standard Version of the Package with a commercial
    distribution is always permitted provided that the use of this Package
    is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's
    interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial distribution.
    Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this Package.

    9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
    products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

    10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
    IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
    WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
