+             Artistic License 2.0
+
+
+ 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 will 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.
