57
* The Artistic License is also the license under which you
58
* are granted permission to copy, modify, and redistribute PennMUSH:
60
* The Artistic License
64
* The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
65
* Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
66
* semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
67
* while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
68
* the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
69
* reasonable modifications.
73
* "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
74
* Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
75
* textual modification.
76
* "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
77
* or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
79
* "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
81
* "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
82
* "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
83
* cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
84
* not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
85
* computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
86
* "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
87
* though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means
88
* that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions
91
* 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
92
* Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that
93
* you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
96
* 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
97
* derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
98
* modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
100
* 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
101
* that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
102
* when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of
105
* a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
106
* Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
107
* equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
108
* such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
109
* modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
111
* b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
113
* c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
114
* standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
115
* manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how
116
* it differs from the Standard Version.
118
* d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
120
* 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
121
* executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
123
* a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
124
* together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
125
* to get the Standard Version.
127
* b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
128
* Package with your modifications.
130
* c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding
131
* Standard Version executables, giving the non-standard executables
132
* non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual
133
* pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
136
* d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
138
* 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
139

140
* Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you
141
* may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial)
142
* programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution
143
* provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.
145
* 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
146
* output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under
147
* the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them,
148
* and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
150
* 7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package
151
* shall not be considered part of this Package.
153
