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. + +Definitions + + "Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) + named in the copyright notice for the entire Package. + + "Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other + material to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's + procedures. + + "You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy, + distribute, or modify the Package. + + "Package" means the collection of files distributed by the + Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection and/or of + those files. A given Package may consist of either the Standard + Version, or a Modified Version. + + "Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it + accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a company or + organization, to others outside of your company or organization. + + "Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing + this Package or providing support for this Package to another + party. It does not mean licensing fees. + + "Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been + modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested + by the Copyright Holder. + + "Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and + such changes were not explicitly requested by the Copyright + Holder. + + "Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with + the Standard Version of the Package, in its current version or as + it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future. + + "Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and + configuration files for the Package. + + "Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, + or any other form resulting from mechanical transformation or + translation of the Source form. + + +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 form 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, such verbatim copies may or may not include a +Compiled form of the Package. + +(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other +modifications made available from the Copyright Holder. The resulting +Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such +will be subject to the Original License. + + +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 Compiled form of the +Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs +from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting +any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that +you do at least ONE of the following: + + (a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder + of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the + Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard + Version. + + (b) ensure that 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) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to + make the Source form of the Modified Version available to others + under + + (i) the Original License or + + (ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy, + modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same + licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee + received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified + Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely + available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor + Fees are allowed. + + +Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version +or Modified Versions without the Source + +(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without +the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to +get the Source 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 new instructions on demand or cease further distribution. +If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty +days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then +you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license. + +(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without +the Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to +the Source of the Modified Version. + + +Aggregating or Linking the Package + +(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or +Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting +aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the +Package. Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other +components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license +apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions +as included in the aggregation. + +(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with +other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to +build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that +include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction, +provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package. + + +Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version + +(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that +merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause +the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not +considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the +terms of this license. + + +General Provisions + +(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or +Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using, +modifying or distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not +use, modify, or distribute the Package, if you do not accept this +license. + +(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified +Version made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required +to ensure that your Modified Version complies with the requirements of +this license. + +(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark, +service mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder. + +(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide, +free-of-charge patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, +sell, import and otherwise transfer the Package with respect to any +patent claims licensable by the Copyright Holder that are necessarily +infringed by the Package. If you institute patent litigation +(including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging +that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent +infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the +date that such litigation is filed. + +(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.
