+=head1 NAME
+
+perlartistic - the Perl Artistic License
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ You can refer to this document in Pod via "L<perlartistic>"
+ Or you can see this document by entering "perldoc perlartistic"
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+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 B<"The Artistic License">.
+It's here so that modules, programs, etc., that want to declare
+this as their distribution license can link to it.
+
+For the GNU General Public License, see L<perlgpl>.
+
+=head1 The "Artistic License"
+
+=head2 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.
+
+=head2 Definitions
+
+=over
+
+=item "Package"
+
+refers to the collection of files distributed by the
+Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created
+through textual modification.
+
+=item "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.
+
+=item "Copyright Holder"
+
+is whoever is named in the copyright or
+copyrights for the package.
+
+=item "You"
+
+is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
+
+=item "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.)
+
+=item "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.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Conditions
+
+=over
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item 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:
+
+=over
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item b)
+
+use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item d)
+
+make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+
+=back
+
+=item 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:
+
+=over
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item b)
+
+accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the
+Package with your modifications.
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item d)
+
+make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+
+=back
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item 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.
+
+=item 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.
+
+
+=item 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.
