THE FRONTIER ARTISTIC LICENSE Version 1.0
Copyright © (c) 1999 by Samuel Reynolds.
Derived from the "Artistic License" at "OpenSource.org".
Submitted to OpenSource.org for Open Source Initiative certification.
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
o "Package" refers to the script, suite, file, or collection of scripts,
suites, and/or files distributed by the Copyright Holder, and to
derivatives of that Package created through textual modification.
o "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.
o "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright statement or
statements for the package.
o "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
Package.
o "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.)
o "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.
TERMS
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 script, suite, or file
stating how and when you changed that script, suite, or file, and provided
that you do at least ONE of the following:
a) Use the modified Package only within your corporation or
organization, or retain the modified Package solely for personal use.
b) 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.
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 (or equivalent) 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, give the 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.
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. Scripts, suites, or programs supplied by you that depend on or
otherwise make use of 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.
