Preamble This license establishes the terms under which a given free software Package may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed. The intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic control over the development of that Package while still keeping the Package available as open source and open to community adoption, improvement, and extension. The intent of this license is to establish a freedom to share and improve the software regulated by this License, not to restrict your rights to use it for any purpose other than those that would violate the law or the rights of the Copyright Holder. Definitions "Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) that owns the copyright of the Package.

"Package" means the original work of software, as well as any additions, changes, or modifications to that work, and any derivative works based on it.

"Modified Version" means the Package after you have modified it in any way. "Original License" means this Artistic License as distributed with the Standard Version of the Package, in its current form or any subsequent version that the Copyright Holder may release.

You must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Standard Version. 4. You may distribute your Modified Version as a standalone product, but if you do, you must clearly distinguish it from the Standard Version and rename it to avoid confusion with the original Package. 5. If the Modified Version includes any files that are part of the Standard Version, you must distribute them under the terms of this License. 6.

You must cause any Modified Version to prominently display a notice stating that it has been modified from the Standard Version. Inability to Comply If You cannot distribute the Modified Version while complying with all requirements of this License, You may still distribute it, but you must: (1) clearly indicate that it is a Modified Version, and (2) remove all references to the Copyright Holder and the original Package from the distribution, except that you may retain attribution notices in a manner that makes it clear that the Modified Version is not the Standard Version. Acceptance of Warranty Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, the Copyright Holder provides the Package "AS IS" and WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
