Preamble
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
Package may be copied, to permit to the Copyright Holder to maintain
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.
* "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.

Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that
you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
disclaimers.
2. You may apply fixes, corrections and other modifications from the
Copyright Holder or those derived from the Public Domain and
approved by the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such a

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 ftp.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 files so the names do not conflict with
standard files, which must also been provided besides, and

clearly document how it differs from the Standard Version.
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
