5 The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
6 Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
7 semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
8 while giving the users of the package the right to use and
9 distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the
10 right to make reasonable modifications.

12 Definitions:
13
14 * "Package" refers to the collection of files (in this
15 directory and its subdirectories) distributed by the
16 Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
17 created through textual modification.
18
19 * "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
20 modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of
21 the Copyright Holder.
22
23 * "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
24 copyrights for the package.
25
26 * "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
27 this Package.
28
29 * "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
30 basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
31 involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to
32 the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at
33 large as a market that must bear the fee.)
34
35 * "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item

43 associated disclaimers.
44
45 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other
46 modifications derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright
47 Holder. A Package modified in such a way shall still be considered
48 the Standard Version.

51 provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
52 stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
53 at least ONE of the following:
54
55 a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or
56 otherwise make them Freely Available, such as by posting
57 said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or
58 placing the modifications on a major archive site such as
59 ftp.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
63 or organization.
64
65 c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not

69 differs from the Standard Version.
70
71 d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
72 Holder.
73
74 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
75 executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:

78 library files, together with instructions (in the manual
79 page or equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.
80
81 b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable
82 source of the Package with your modifications.
83
84 c) accompany any non-standard executables with their
85 corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the
86 non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
87 documenting the differences in manual pages (or
88 equivalent), together with instructions on where to get
89 the Standard Version.

91 d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
92 Holder.

103 produced as
