-
- <H2>Preamble</H2>
-
- <P>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.</P>
-
- <H2>Definitions</H2>

- Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
- created through textual modification.</P>
-
- <P>"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.</P>
-
- <P>"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
- copyrights for the package.</P>
-
- <P>"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
- this Package.</P>
-
- <P>"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.)</P>
-
- <P>"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.</P>

- <LI><DIV CLASS="li">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.</DIV></LI>
-
- <LI>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.</LI>
-
- <LI>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:
- <OL STYLE="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
- <LI>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.</LI>
-
- <LI>use the modified Package only within your corporation or
- organization.</LI>
-
- <LI>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.</LI>
- </OL>
- </LI>
- </OL>
-
- <P>You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code
- or executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the
- following:</P>
-
- <OL STYLE="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
- <LI>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.</LI>
-
- <LI>accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source
- of the Package with your modifications.</LI>
-
- <LI>give non-standard executables non-standard names, and
- clearly document the differences in manual pages (or

-
- <P>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.</P>
-
- <P>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. 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.</P>
-
- <P>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.</P>
-
- <P>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.</P>
