2[1mDESCRIPTION2[0m
    Perl is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the
    terms of either:

a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
            Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any
            later version, or

b) the "Artistic License" which comes with this Kit.

This is 2[1m"The Artistic License"2[0m. It's here so that modules, programs, etc.,
    that want to declare this as their distribution license can link to it.

2[1mThe "Artistic License"2[0m
  2[1mPreamble2[0m
    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.

2[1mDefinitions2[0m
    "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 as
        specified below.

"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.

2[1mConditions2[0m
    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 uunet.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)  give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
            document 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. You may embed this Package's interpreter
        within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as
        a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard
        Version of the interpreter is so embedded.

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 whoever generated
        them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
        Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
        Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
        binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
        neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
        fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you
        do not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of
        this Package.

7.  C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages)
        supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate
        subroutines and variables of the language defined by this Package
        shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the equivalent
        of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do not change
        the language in any way that would cause it to fail the regression
        tests for the language.

8.  Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
        permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
        when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces
        visible to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall
        not be construed as a distribution of this Package.

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

10. 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.
