| 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) |
| 25 | named in the copyright notice for the entire Package. |
| 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. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | "Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and |
| 60 | configuration files for the Package. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | "Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, |
| 63 | or any other form resulting from mechanical transformation or |
| 64 | translation of the Source form. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | |
| 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. |
| 192 | |
| 193 | (14) Disclaimer of Warranty: |
| 194 | THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS |
| 195 | IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED |
| 196 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR |
| 197 | NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL |
| 198 | LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL |
| 199 | BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL |
| 200 | DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF |
| 201 | ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. |
