Licence Regulations
-------------------
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 those made Freely Available, 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:
1. 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 network archive site allowing unrestricted access to
them, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
2. 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:
1. 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.
2. accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
the Package with your modifications.
3. 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.
4. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
5. offer the machine-readable source of the Package, with your
modifications, by mail order.
5. You may charge a distribution fee for any distribution of this
Package. If you offer support for this Package, you may charge any
fee you choose for that support. You may not charge a license fee
for the right to use this Package itself. You may distribute this
Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial and possibly
nonfree) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial and
possibly nonfree) software distribution, and charge license fees
for other parts of that software distribution, provided that you do
not advertise this Package as a product of your own. If the Package
includes an interpreter, 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 (especially the custom-created files
created for making use of the Package) 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 the Standard Version of the 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. Credits and attributions in the headers of all source and
documentation files must be left intact.
11. 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.
