4
5        The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
6        Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
7        semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
8        while giving the users of the package the right to use and
9        distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the
10        right to make reasonable modifications.
11
12        Definitions:
13
14           * "Package" refers to the collection of files (in this
15             directory and its subdirectories) distributed by the
16             Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
17             created through textual modification.
18
19           * "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
20             modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of
21             the Copyright Holder.
22
23           * "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
24             copyrights for the package.
25
26           * "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
27             this Package.
28
29           * "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
30             basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
31             involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to
32             the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at
33             large as a market that must bear the fee.)
34
35           * "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
36             itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item.
37             It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
38             under the same conditions they received it.
39
40        1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of
41        the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided
42        that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and
43        associated disclaimers.
44
45        2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other
46        modifications derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright
47        Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still be considered
48        the Standard Version.
49
50        3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
51        provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
52        stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
53        at least ONE of the following:
54
55             a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or
56             otherwise make them Freely Available, such as by posting
57             said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or
58             placing the modifications on a major archive site such as
59             ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
60             your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
61
62             b) use the modified Package only within your corporation
63             or organization.
64
65             c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not
66             conflict with standard executables, which must also be
67             provided, and provide a separate manual page for each
68             non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
69             differs from the Standard Version.
70
71             d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
72             Holder.
73
74        4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
75        executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
76
77             a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and
78             library files, together with instructions (in the manual
79             page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.
80
81             b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable
82             source of the Package with your modifications.
83
84             c) accompany any non-standard executables with their
85             corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the
86             non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
87             documenting the differences in manual pages (or
88             equivalent), together with instructions on where to get
89             the Standard Version.
90
91             d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
92             Holder.
93
94        5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of
95        this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
96        Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
97        you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
98        commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
99        software distribution provided that you do not advertise this
100        Package as a product of your own.
101
102        6. The graphic art and geometrical data supplied as input to or
103        produced as
104        output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
105        under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever
106        generated them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated
107        with this Package.
108
109        7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this
110        Package shall not be considered part of this Package.
111
112        8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
113        promote products derived from this software without specific prior
114        written permission.
115
116        9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
117        IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
118        WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
