                              The "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.

          * "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.

          * "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
            basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
            involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to
            the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at
            large as a market that must bear the fee.)

          * "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
            itself, 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 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 archive site such as
            ftp.uu.net, 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.

       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) accompany any non-standard executables with their
            corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the
            non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
            documenting 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.

       5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
       this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
       Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
       you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
       commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
       software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package
       as a product of your own.

       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 whomever generated
       them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
       Package.

       7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package
       shall not be considered part of this Package.

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

       9. 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.

                                      The End
