      7				Preamble
      8
      9The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
     10Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
     11semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
     12while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
     13the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
     14reasonable modifications.
     15
     16Definitions:
     17
     18	"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
     19	Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
     20	created through textual modification.
     21
     22	"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
     23	modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
     24	of the Copyright Holder as specified below.
     25
     26	"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
     27	copyrights for the package.
     28
     29	"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
     30	this Package.
     31
     32	"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
     33	basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
     34	and so on.  (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) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
     82    document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
     83    with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
     84
     85    d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
     86
     875. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
     88Package.  You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
     89Package.  You may not charge a fee for this Package itself.  However,
     90you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
     91commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
     92distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
     93product of your own.  You may embed this Package's interpreter within
     94an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
     95form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
     96interpreter is so embedded.
     97
     986. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
     99output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
    100under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
    101them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
    102Package.  If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
    103Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
    104binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
    105neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
    106fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
    107not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
    108Package.
    109
    1107. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
    111languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
    112emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
    113Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
    114equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
    115not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
    116regression tests for the language.
    117
    1188. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
    119permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
    120when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
    121to the end user of the commercial distribution.  Such use shall not be
    122construed as a distribution of this Package.
    123
    1249. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
    125products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
    126
    12710. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
    128IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
    129WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
