LICENSE

Preamble:

The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which the 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 derivative works.

Definitions:

"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 the Package if it has not been modified, or has been modified in accordance with the consent of the Copyright Holder.

"Copyright Holder" is Steven Edwards.

"You" is you, if you are 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 Package itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the Package. It also means that recipients of the Package may redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.

1. You may make and give away unmodified 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. If the Package is modified in this way, it shall still be considered the Standard Version.

3. You may otherwise modify your copy of the 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 derivative works in the public domain or otherwise make
      them Freely Available, such as by posting said derivative works to
      Usenet or an equivalent medium, or placing the derivative works on a
      major archive site such as ftp.uu.net or cpan.org, or by allowing the
      Copyright Holder to include your derivative works in the Standard
      Version of the Package.

b)    use a derivative 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 following:

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 derivative works.

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 or Perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not be considered part of this Package.

8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF YOUR DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER USE OF THE PACKAGE.
