    All Rights Reserved.
    
    Note:
    
        This license is derived from the "Artistic License" as distributed
    
        with the Perl Programming Language.  As significant differences
        exist, the complete license should be read.
    
    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.
    
        "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
        Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
        created through textual modification.
    
        "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.
    
        "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
        copyrights for the package.
    
        "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
        this Package.
    
        "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.)
    
        "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.
    
    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 file
    stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you
    do at least ONE of the following:
    
        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.
    
        b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or
        organization.
    
        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.
    
        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
    
        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, giving the non-standard executables
    
        non-standard names, and clearly documenting 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. C subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package in
    
    order to emulate subroutines and variables 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 behavior of the Package in any way that would cause it to fail
    the regression tests for the Package.
    
    8. Software supplied by you and linked with this Package in order
    to use subroutines and variables defined by this Package shall not
    be considered part of this Package and do not automatically fall
    
    under the copyright of this Package.  Executables produced
    
    by linking your software with this Package may be used and
    
    redistributed without restriction and may be sold commercially
    so long as the primary function of your software is different
    than the package itself.
    
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    The End
