(You will not be required to justify it to the 35 Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large 36 as a market that must bear the fee.) 37 38 "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item 39 itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. 40 It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it 41 under the same conditions they received it. 42 431. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the 44Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you 45duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. 46 472. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications 48derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package 49modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version. 50 513. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided 52that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and 53when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the 54following: 55 56 a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them 57 Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or 58 an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive 59 site such as uunet.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 or organization. 63 64 c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict 65 with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide 66 a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly 67 documents how it differs from the Standard Version. 68 69 d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. 70 714. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or 72executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: 73 74 a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, 75 together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where 76 to get the Standard Version. 77 78 b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of 79 the Package with your modifications. 80 81 c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding 82 Standard Version executables, giving the non-standard executables 83 non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual 84 pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get 85 the Standard Version. 86 87 d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. 88 895. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this 90Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. 91You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, 92you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly 93commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software 94distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a 95product of your own. 96 976. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as 98output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall 99under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever generated 100them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this 101Package. 102 1037. C subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package in order 104to emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this 105Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the 106equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do 107not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the 108regression tests for the language. 109 1108.
