The Artistic License 2.0

Copyright (c) 2000-2006, The Perl Foundation.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

This license establishes the terms under which a given free software
Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed.
The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic
control over the development of that Package while still keeping the
Package available as open source and free software.

You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this
license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the
terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to
make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek
a different licensing arrangement.

"Distribute" means to provide a copy of the Package or make it
accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a company or

Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution

(1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use
Modified Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that
you do not Distribute the Modified Version.


Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version

(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source Code of the
Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction,
either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate
all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. At
your discretion, you may also charge a reasonable fee for any
support, warranty, or additional services.

(3) You may Distribute Compiled Forms of the Standard Version of this
Package without the Source Code, provided that you include complete
instructions on how to obtain the Source Code of the Standard Version.
Such instructions must be valid at the time of your distribution. If
these instructions, at any time while you are carrying out such
distribution, become invalid, you must provide any person who has
received Compiled Forms with the Source Code upon request.


Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source

(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis
or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a reasonable fee for
support, warranty, or additional services) in one of the following
three ways:

    (a) You may distribute the Modified Version together with a copy of
    the Standard Version, with clear directions on how to acquire the
    Standard Version, and also include documentation in each Modified
    File stating how and when you changed that file.

    (b) You may ensure that the installation of your Modified Version
    does not prevent the user installing or running the Standard
    Version. In addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is
    different from the name of the Standard Version.

    (c) You may make other distribution arrangements with the
    Copyright Holder.


Distribution of Compiled Forms of Modified Versions of the Package

(5) You may Distribute Compiled Forms of Modified Versions both
without the Source Code and without the Standard Version, provided that
you comply with Section 4(a), 4(b), or 4(c).

(6) You may Distribute Compiled Forms of Modified Versions without the
Source Code, provided that you also provide instructions on how to
obtain the Source Code of the Modified Version. Such instructions must
be valid at the time of your distribution. If these instructions, at
any time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid,
you must provide any person who has received Compiled Forms with the
Source Code upon request.


Distribution of Derivative Programs

(7) You may Distribute Derivative Programs without restriction,
provided that they do not include the Package itself in Source form,
or Compiled form derived from Modified versions of the Package.


Aggregation with Independent Works

(8) You may aggregate this Package (either the Standard Version or
Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting
aggregation without restriction, provided that you do not charge a
licensing fee for the Package. Distributor Fees are permitted, and
charging fees for other full software suites is permitted.


Items That are Not Considered Part of the Package

(9) Works, including subroutines and modules, that merely use the
Package to provide their own functionality, or that extend the
Package without modifying existing files, are not considered parts of
the Package, and are not bound by the terms of this license.

(10) Works that are not derived from the Package, even if they contain
portions of the Package, are not considered parts of the Package, and
are not bound by the terms of this license.


Acceptance of License

(11) You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to use, copy,
modify, or distribute the Package or its derivative works. These actions
are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Package (or any work based on the
Package), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions.


Automatic Termination for Non-Compliance

(12) This license will terminate automatically if you fail to comply
with any of its terms and conditions.


Termination for Patent Action

(13) This license will terminate automatically if you initiate a patent
infringement litigation against any of the Contributors or the
Copyright Holder regarding this Package.


Disclaimer of Warranty

(14) DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW. UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT
HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE
OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
