+                  The Artistic License
+
+                       Preamble
+
+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.
+
+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 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 ftp.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 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 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 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 MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.
+
+                           The End
