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
10       make 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 of
20            the Copyright Holder.
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
30            involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to
31            the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at
32            large 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
40       the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided
41       that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and
42       associated disclaimers.
43
44       2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
45       derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A
46       Package modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard
47       Version.
48
49       3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
50       provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
51       stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
52       at least ONE of the following:
53
54            a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or
55            otherwise make them Freely Available, such as by posting
56            said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or
57            placing the modifications on a major archive site such as
58            ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
59            your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
60
61            b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or
62            organization.
63
64            c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not
65            conflict with standard executables, which must also be
66            provided, and provide a separate manual page for each
67            non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
68            differs from the Standard Version.
69
70            d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
71            Holder.
72
73       4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
74       executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
75
76            a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and
77            library files, together with instructions (in the manual
78            page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.
79
80            b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable
81            source of the Package with your modifications.
82
83            c) accompany any non-standard executables with their
84            corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the
85            non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
86            documenting the differences in manual pages (or
87            equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
88            Standard Version.
89
90            d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
91            Holder.
92
93       5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
94       this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
95       Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
96       you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
97       commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
98       software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package
99       as a product of your own.
100
101       6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
102       output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
103       under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated
104       them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
105       Package.
106
107       7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package
108       shall not be considered part of this Package.
109
110       8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
111       promote products derived from this software without specific prior
112       written permission.
113
114       9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
115       IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
116       WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
