10Preamble
11
12This license establishes the terms under which a given free software
13Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed.
14The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic
15control over the development of that Package while still keeping the
16Package available as open source and free software.
17
18You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this
19license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package.  If the
20terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to
21make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek
22a different licensing arrangement.

44
45    "Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing
46    this Package or providing support for this Package to another
47    party.  It does not mean licensing fees.

50    modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested
51    by the Copyright Holder.
52

55    Holder.

59    it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future.

62    configuration files for the Package.

76Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
77
78(2)  You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the
79Standard Version of this Package in any medium without restriction,
80either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate
81all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.  At
82your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may not include a
83Compiled form of the Package.
84
85(3)  You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other
86modifications made available from the Copyright Holder.  The resulting
87Package will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such
88will be subject to the Original License.

90
91Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
92
93(4)  You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis
94or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the
95Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs
96from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting
97any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that
98you do at least ONE of the following:
99
100    (a)  make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder
101    of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the
102    Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard
103    Version.
104
105    (b)  ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not
106    prevent the user installing or running the Standard Version. In
107    addition, the Modified Version must bear a name that is different
108    from the name of the Standard Version.
109
110    (c)  allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to
111    make the Source form of the Modified Version available to others
112    under
113       
114    (i)  the Original License or
115
116    (ii)  a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,
117    modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the same
118    licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee
119    received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified
120    Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely
121    available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor
122    Fees are allowed.
123
124
125Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version
126or Modified Versions without the Source
127
128(5)  You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without
129the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to
130get the Source of the Standard Version.  Such instructions must be
131valid at the time of your distribution.  If these instructions, at any
132time while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you
133must provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution.
134If you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty
135days after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then
136you do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.
137
138(6)  You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without
139the Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to
140the Source of the Modified Version.
141
142
143Aggregating or Linking the Package
144
145(7)  You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or
146Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting
147aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the
148Package.  Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other
149components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license
150apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions
151as included in the aggregation.
152
153(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with
154other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to
155build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications that
156include the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction,
157provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
158
159
160Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
161
162(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that
163merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause
164the Package to be a Modified Version.  In addition, such works are not
165considered parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the
166terms of this license.
167
168
