17 <H2>Preamble</H2>
18
19 <P>The intent of this document is to state the conditions under
20 which a Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder
21 maintains some semblance of artistic control over the
22 development of the package, while giving the users of the
23 package the right to use and distribute the Package in a
24 more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
25 reasonable modifications.</P>
26
27 <H2>Definitions</H2>
28
29
30 <P>"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
31 Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
32 created through textual modification.</P>
33
34 <P>"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
35 modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of
36 the Copyright Holder as specified below.</P>
37
38 <P>"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
39 copyrights for the package.</P>
40
41 <P>"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
42 this Package.</P>
43
44 <P>"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
45 basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
46 involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to
47 the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at
48 large as a market that must bear the fee.)</P>
49
50 <P>"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
51 itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the
52 item. It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute
53 it under the same conditions they received it.</P>

56 <OL STYLE="list-style-type: decimal;">
57 <LI><DIV CLASS="li">You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source
58 form of the Standard Version of this Package without
59 restriction, provided that you duplicate all of the original
60 copyright notices and associated disclaimers.</DIV></LI>
61
62 <LI>You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other
63 modifications derived from the Public Domain or from the
64 Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still
65 be considered the Standard Version.</LI>
66
67 <LI>You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any
68 way, provided that you insert a prominent notice in each
69 changed file stating how and when you changed that file, and
70 provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
71 <OL STYLE="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
72 <LI>place your modifications in the Public Domain or
73 otherwise make them Freely Available, such as by posting
74 said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or
75 placing the modifications on a major archive site such as
76 uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to
77 include your modifications in the Standard Version of the
78 Package.</LI>
79
80 <LI>use the modified Package only within your corporation or
81 organization.</LI>
82
83 <LI>rename any non-standard executables so the names do not
84 conflict with standard executables, which must also be
85 provided, and provide a separate manual page for each
86 non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
87 differs from the Standard Version. d. make other
88 distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.</LI>
89 </OL>
90 </LI>
91 </OL>
92
93 <P>You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code
94 or executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the
95 following:</P>
96
97 <OL STYLE="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
98 <LI>distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library
99 files, together with instructions (in the manual page or
100 equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.</LI>
101
102 <LI>accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source
103 of the Package with your modifications.</LI>
104
105 <LI>give non-standard executables non-standard names, and
106 clearly document the differences in manual pages (or
107 equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
108 Standard Version.</LI>
109
110 <LI>make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
111 Holder.</LI>
112 </OL>
113
114 <P>You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
115 this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of
116 this Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package
117 itself. However, you may distribute this Package in aggregate
118 with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger
119 (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do
120 not advertise this Package as a product of your own. You may
121 embed this Package's interpreter within an executable of yours
122 (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere form of
123 aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
124 interpreter is so embedded.</P>
125
126 <P>The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced
127 as output from the programs of this Package do not automatically
128 fall under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever
129 generated them, and may be sold commercially, and may be
130 aggregated with this Package. If such scripts or library files
131 are aggregated with this Package via the so-called "undump" or
132 "unexec" methods of producing a binary executable image, then
133 distribution of such an image shall neither be construed as a
134 distribution of this Package nor shall it fall under the
135 restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do not
136 represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
137 Package.</P>
138
139 <P>C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
140 languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order
141 to emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by
142 this Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but
143 are the equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these
144 subroutines do not change the language in any way that would
145 cause it to fail the regression tests for the language.</P>
146
147 <P>Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is
148 always permitted provided that the use of this Package is
149 embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this
150 Package's interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial
151 distribution. Such use shall not be construed as a distribution
152 of this Package.</P>
153
154 <P>The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
155 promote products derived from this software without specific
156 prior written permission.</P>
157
158 <P>THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
159 IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
160 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
161 PURPOSE.</P>
