| | | For those of you that choose to use the GNU General Public License, |
| | | my interpretation of the GNU General Public License is that no Perl |
| | | script falls under the terms of the GPL unless you explicitly put |
| | | said script under the terms of the GPL yourself. Furthermore, any |
| | | object code linked with perl does not automatically fall under the |
| | | terms of the GPL, provided such object code only adds definitions |
| | | of subroutines and variables, and does not otherwise impair the |
| | | resulting interpreter from executing any standard Perl script. I |
| | | consider linking in C subroutines in this manner to be the moral |
| | | equivalent of defining subroutines in the Perl language itself. You |
| | | may sell such an object file as proprietary provided that you provide |
| | | or offer to provide the Perl source, as specified by the GNU General |
| | | Public License. (This is merely an alternate way of specifying input |
| | | to the program.) You may also sell a binary produced by the dumping of |
| | | a running Perl script that belongs to you, provided that you provide or |
| | | offer to provide the Perl source as specified by the GPL. (The |
| | | fact that a Perl interpreter and your code are in the same binary file |
| | | is, in this case, a form of mere aggregation.) This is my interpretation |
| | | of the GPL. If you still have concerns or difficulties understanding |
| | | my intent, feel free to contact me. Of course, the Artistic License |
| | | spells all this out for your protection, so you may prefer to use that. |

| | | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| | | Version 1, February 1989 |
| | | |
| | | Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| | | 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
| | | |
| | | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| | | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| | | |
| | | Preamble |
| | | |
| | | The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users |
| | | at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public |
| | | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
| | | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The |
| | | General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's |
| | | software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. |
| | | You can use it for your programs, too. |
| | | |
| | | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
| | | price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make |
| | | sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free |
| | | software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, |
| | | that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free |
| | | programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
| | | |
| | | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| | | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
| | | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
| | | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
| | | |
| | | For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether |
| | | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
| | | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
| | | source code. And you must tell them their rights. |
| | | |
| | | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
| | | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
| | | distribute and/or modify the software. |
| | | |
| | | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
| | | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
| | | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
| | | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
| | | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
| | | authors' reputations. |
| | | |
| | | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| | | modification follow. |
| | | |
| | | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| | | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| | | |
| | | 0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which |
| | | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be |
| | | distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The |
| | | "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based |
| | | on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the |
| | | Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each |
| | | licensee is addressed as "you". |
| | | |
| | | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source |
| | | code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| | | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and |
| | | disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this |
| | | General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any |
| | | other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License |
| | | along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of |
| | | transferring a copy. |
| | | |
| | | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of |
| | | it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph |
| | | 1 above, provided that you also do the following: |
| | | |
| | | a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that |
| | | you changed the files and the date of any change; and |
| | | |
| | | b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that |
| | | in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either |
| | | with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all |
| | | third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except |
| | | that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all |
| | | third parties, at your option). |
| | | |
| | | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when |
| | | run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use |
| | | in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an |
| | | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice |
| | | that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a |
| | | warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these |
| | | conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General |
| | | Public License. |
| | | |
| | | d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a |
| | | copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in |
| | | exchange for a fee. |
| | | |
| | | Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its |
| | | derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring |
| | | the other work under the scope of these terms. |
| | | |
| | | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of |
| | | it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
| | | Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
| | | |
| | | a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
| | | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of |
| | | Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |
| | | |
| | | b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
| | | years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge |
| | | for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the |
| | | corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of |
| | | Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |
| | | |
| | | c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the |
| | | corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is |
| | | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
| | | received the program in object code or executable form alone.) |
| | | |
| | | Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
| | | modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means |
| | | all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special |
| | | exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard |
| | | libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable |
| | | file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that |
| | | accompany that operating system. |
| | | |
| | | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the |
| | | Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. |
| | | Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer |
| | | the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use |
| | | the Program under this License. However, parties who have received |
| | | copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public |
| | | License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties |
| | | remain in full compliance. |
| | | |
| | | 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based |
| | | on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, |
| | | and all its terms and conditions. |
| | | |
| | | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
| | | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original |
| | | licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these |
| | | terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the |
| | | recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
| | | |
| | | 7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
| | | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
| | | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
| | | address new problems or concerns. |
| | | |
| | | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
| | | specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any |
| | | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
| | | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
| | | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
| | | the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
| | | Foundation. |
| | | |
| | | 8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
| | | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
| | | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
| | | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
| | | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
| | | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
| | | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
| | | |
| | | NO WARRANTY |
| | | |
| | | 9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
| | | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
| | | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
| | | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
| | | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
| | | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
| | | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
| | | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
| | | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| | | |
| | | 10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
| | | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
| | | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
| | | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
| | | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
| | | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
| | | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
| | | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
| | | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| | | |
| | | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| | | |
| | | Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| | | |
| | | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| | | possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| | | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these |
| | | terms. |
| | | |
| | | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to |
| | | attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey |
| | | the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
| | | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| | | |
| | | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| | | Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> |
| | | |
| | | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
| | | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
| | | the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) |
| | | any later version. |
| | | |
| | | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| | | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| | | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
| | | GNU General Public License for more details. |
| | | |
| | | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
| | | along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software |
| | | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA 02110-1301 USA |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| | | |
| | | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
| | | when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| | | |
| | | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author |
| | | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
| | | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
| | | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
| | | |
| | | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the |
| | | appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the |
| | | commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show |
| | | c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your |
| | | program. |
| | | |
| | | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
| | | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
| | | necessary. Here a sample; alter the names: |
| | | |
| | | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the |
| | | program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes |
| | | at assemblers) written by James Hacker. |

| | | That's all there is to it! |

| | | --- Artistic -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | | |
| | | 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 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. |
| | | |
| | | 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 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
| | | |
| | | The End |
