- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
- Preamble
-
- This license establishes the terms under which a given free software
- Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed.
- The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic
- control over the development of that Package while still keeping the
- Package available as open source and free software.
-
- You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this
- license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the
- terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to
- make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek
- a different licensing arrangement.
-
- Definitions

- named in the copyright notice for the entire Package.

- "Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other
- material to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's
- procedures.
-
- "You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy,
- distribute, or modify the Package.
-
- "Package" means the collection of files distributed by the
- Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection and/or of
- those files. A given Package may consist of either the Standard
- Version, or a Modified Version.
-
- "Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it
- accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a company or
- organization, to others outside of your company or organization.
-
- "Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing
- this Package or providing support for this Package to another
- party. It does not mean licensing fees.
-
- "Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been
- modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested
- by the Copyright Holder.
-
- "Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and
- such changes were not explicitly requested by the Copyright
- Holder.
-
- "Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with
- the Standard Version of the Package, in its current version or as
- it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future.
-
- "Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and
- configuration files for the Package.
-
- "Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary,
- or any other form resulting from mechanical transformation or
- translation of the Source form.
-
-
- Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
-
- (1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use
- Modified Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that
- you do not Distribute the Modified Version.
-
-
- Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
-
- (2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the
- Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction,
- either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate
- all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. At
- your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include a
- Compiled form of the Package.
-
- (3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other
- modifications made available from the Copyright Holder. The resulting
- Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such
- will be subject to the Original License.
-
-
- Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
-
- (4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis
- or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the
- Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs
- from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting
- any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that
- you do at least ONE of the following:
-
- (a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder
- of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the
- Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard
- Version.
-
- (b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not
- prevent the user installing or running the Standard Version. In
- addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is different
- from the name of the Standard Version.
-
- (c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to
- make the Source form of the Modified Version available to others
- under
-
- (i) the Original License or
-
- (ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,
- modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same
- licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee
- received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified
- Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely
- available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor
- Fees are allowed.
-
-
- Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version
- or Modified Versions without the Source
-
- (5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without
- the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to
- get the Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be
- valid at the time of your distribution. If these instructions, at any
- time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you
- must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution.
- If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty
- days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then
- you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.
-
- (6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without
- the Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to
- the Source of the Modified Version.
-
-
- Aggregating or Linking the Package
-
- (7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or
- Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting
- aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the
- Package. Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other
- components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license
- apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions
- as included in the aggregation.
-
- (8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with
- other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to
- build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that
- include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction,
- provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
-
-
- Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
-
- (9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that
- merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause
- the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not
- considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the
- terms of this license.
-
-
- General Provisions
-
- (10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or
- Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using,

- use, modify, or distribute the Package, if you do not accept this
- license.
-
- (11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified
- Version made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required
