The Perl 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 as specified below.

"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 uunet.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.
