+Copyright (c) 2000-2006, The Perl Foundation.
+
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
+license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+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 free software.
+
+You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this
+license directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the
+terms of this license do not permit the full use that you propose to
+make of the Package, you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek
+a different licensing arrangement.
+
+Definitions
+
+"Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) named
+in the copyright notice for the entire Package.
+
+"Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other
+material to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's
+procedures.
+
+"You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy,
+distribute, or modify the Package.
+
+"Package" means the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
+Holder, and derivatives of that collection and/or of those files. A
+given Package may consist of either the Standard Version, or a
+Modified Version.
+
+"Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it
+accessible to anyone else, or in the case of a company or
+organization, to others outside of your company or organization.
+
+"Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing this
+Package or providing support for this Package to another party. It
+does not mean licensing fees.
+
+"Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been
+modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested by
+the Copyright Holder.
+
+"Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and
+such changes were not explicitly requested by the Copyright Holder.
+
+"Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with
+the Standard Version of the Package, in its current version or as it
+may be modified by The Perl Foundation in the future.
+
+"Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and
+configuration files for the Package.
+
+"Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, or
+any other form resulting from mechanical transformation or translation
+of the Source form.
+
+Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
+
+(1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use
+    Modified Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided
+    that you do not Distribute the Modified Version.
+
+Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
+
+(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the
+    Standard Version of this Package in any medium without
+    restriction, either gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that
+    you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
+    disclaimers. At your discretion, such verbatim copies may or may
+    not include a Compiled form of the Package.
+
+(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other
+    modifications made available from the Copyright Holder. The
+    resulting Package will still be considered the Standard Version,
+    and as such be subject to the Original License.
+
+Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
+
+(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis
+    or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of
+    the Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it
+    differs from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to,
+    documenting any non-standard features, executables, or modules,
+    and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+    (a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder of
+        the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the
+        Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the
+        Standard Version.
+
+    (b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not
+        prevent the user installing or running the Standard
+        Version. In addition, the Modified Version must bear a name
+        that is different from the name of the Standard Version.
+
+    (c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to
+        make the Source form of the Modified Version available to
+        others under
+
+        (i) the Original License or
+
+        (ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,
+             modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the
+             same licensing terms that apply to the copy that the
+             licensee received, and requires that the Source form of
+             the Modified Version, and of any works derived from it,
+             be made freely available in that license fees are
+             prohibited but Distributor Fees are allowed.
+
+Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version or Modified
+Versions without the Source
+
+(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without
+    the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how
+    to get the Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must
+    be valid at the time of your distribution. If these instructions,
+    at any time while you are carrying out such distribution, become
+    invalid, you must provide new instructions on demand or cease
+    further distribution. If you provide valid instructions or cease
+    distribution within thirty days after you become aware that the
+    instructions are invalid, then you do not forfeit any of your
+    rights under this license.
+
+(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without the
+    Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to the
+    Source of the Modified Version.
+
+Aggregating or Linking the Package
+
+(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or
+    Modified Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting
+    aggregation provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for
+    the Package. Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees
+    for other components in the aggregation are permitted. The terms
+    of this license apply to the use and Distribution of the Standard
+    or Modified Versions as included in the aggregation.
+
+(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with
+    other works, to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or
+    to build stand-alone binary or bytecode versions of applications
+    that include the Package, and Distribute the result without
+    restriction, provided the result does not expose a direct
+    interface to the Package.
+
+Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
+
+(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that
+    merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves,
+    cause the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such
+    works are not considered parts of the Package itself, and are not
+    subject to the terms of this license.
+
+General Provisions
+
+(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or
+     Modified Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using,
+     modifying or distributing the Package, you accept this
+     license. Do not use, modify, or distribute the Package, if you do
+     not accept this license.
+
+(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified Version
+     made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required to
+     ensure that your Modified Version complies with the requirements
+     of this license.
+
+(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark,
+     service mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder.
+
+(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide,
+     free-of-charge patent license to make, have made, use, offer to
+     sell, sell, import and otherwise transfer the Package with
+     respect to any patent claims licensable by the Copyright Holder
+     that are necessarily infringed by the Package. If you institute
+     patent litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim)
+     against any party alleging that the Package constitutes direct or
+     contributory patent infringement, then this Artistic License to
+     you shall terminate on the date that such litigation is filed.
+
+(14) Disclaimer of Warranty: THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT
+     HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
+     IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
+     FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE
+     DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW. UNLESS
+     REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE
+     LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
+     DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF
+     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE."
