See also the GNU General Public License L<perlgpl>. + +=head2 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: + +=over 5 + +=item Package + + "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the + Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files + created through textual modification. + +=item Standard Version + + "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. + +=item Copyright Holder + + "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or + copyrights for the package. + +=item You + + "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing + this Package. + +=item Reasonable copying fee + + "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.) + +=item Freely Available + + "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. + +=back + +=over 4 + +=item 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. + +=item 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. + +=item 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: + +=over 4 + +=item * + + 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. + +=item * + + b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. + +=item * + + 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. + +=item * + + d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. + +=back + +=item 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: + +=over 4 + +=item * + + 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. + +=item * + + b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of + the Package with your modifications. + +=item * + + c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly + document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together + with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. + +=item * + + d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. + +=back + +=item 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. You may embed this Package's interpreter within +an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere +form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the +interpreter is so embedded. + +=item 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 whoever generated +them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this +Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this +Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a +binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall +neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it +fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do +not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this +Package. + +=item 7. + +C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other +languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to +emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this +Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the +equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do +not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the +regression tests for the language. + +=item 8. + +Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always +permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, +when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible +to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be +construed as a distribution of this Package. + +=item 9. + +The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote +products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. + +=item 10. + +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. + +=back + +The End + +=cut |
