5 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |

8 | Preamble | |
9 | ||
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. | |
21 | ||
22 | Definitions | |
23 | ||
24 | "Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) | |

26 | ||
27 | "Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other | |
28 | material to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's | |
29 | procedures. | |
30 | ||
31 | "You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy, | |
32 | distribute, or modify the Package. | |
33 | ||
34 | "Package" means the collection of files distributed by the | |
35 | Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection and/or of | |
36 | those files. A given Package may consist of either the Standard | |
37 | Version, or a Modified Version. | |
38 | ||
39 | "Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it | |
40 | accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a company or | |
41 | organization, to others outside of your company or organization. | |
42 | ||
43 | "Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing | |
44 | this Package or providing support for this Package to another | |
45 | party. It does not mean licensing fees. | |
46 | ||
47 | "Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been | |
48 | modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested | |
49 | by the Copyright Holder. | |
50 | ||
51 | "Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and | |
52 | such changes were not explicitly requested by the Copyright | |
53 | Holder. | |
54 | ||
55 | "Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with | |
56 | the Standard Version of the Package, in its current version or as | |
57 | it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future. | |

59 | "Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and | |
60 | configuration files for the Package. | |

67 | Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution | |
68 | ||
69 | (1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use | |
70 | Modified Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that | |
71 | you do not Distribute the Modified Version. | |
72 | ||
73 | ||
74 | Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version | |
75 | ||
76 | (2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the | |
77 | Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction, | |
78 | either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate | |
79 | all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. At | |
80 | your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include a | |
81 | Compiled form of the Package. | |
82 | ||
83 | (3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other | |
84 | modifications made available from the Copyright Holder. The resulting | |
85 | Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such | |
86 | will be subject to the Original License. | |
87 | ||
88 | ||
89 | Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source | |
90 | ||
91 | (4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis | |
92 | or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the | |
93 | Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs | |
94 | from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting | |
95 | any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that | |
96 | you do at least ONE of the following: | |
97 | ||
98 | (a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder | |
99 | of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the | |
100 | Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard | |
101 | Version. | |
102 | ||
103 | (b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not | |
104 | prevent the user installing or running the Standard Version. In | |
105 | addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is different | |
106 | from the name of the Standard Version. | |
107 | ||
108 | (c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to | |
109 | make the Source form of the Modified Version available to others | |
110 | under | |
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 | (6) 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. | |
139 | ||
140 | ||
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. | |
