| 1 | +The `Blitz++ Artistic License' |
| 2 | +(with thanks and apologies to authors of the Perl Artistic License) |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Preamble |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which |
| 7 | +Blitz++ may be copied, such that the authors maintains some |
| 8 | +semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, |
| 9 | +while giving the users of the package the right to use and |
| 10 | +distribute Blitz++ in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the |
| 11 | +right to make reasonable modifications. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Definitions |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +`Library' refers to the collection of files distributed by the |
| 16 | +Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files |
| 17 | +created through textual modification. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +`Standard Version' refers to such a Library if it has not been |
| 20 | +modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the |
| 21 | +Copyright Holder as specified below. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Copyright Holder' is whoever is named in the copyright or |
| 24 | +copyrights for the package. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +`You' is you, if you're thinking about copying, modifying or |
| 27 | +distributing this Library. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +`Freely Available' means that no fee is charged for the item. |
| 30 | +It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it |
| 31 | +under the same conditions they received it. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +``Reasonable copying fee'' is whatever you can justify on the basis |
| 34 | +of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so |
| 35 | +on. (You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, |
| 36 | +but only to the computing community at large as a market that must |
| 37 | +bear the fee.) |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the |
| 40 | +Standard Version of this Library without restriction, provided that |
| 41 | +you duplicate all of the original copyright notices, this license, |
| 42 | +and associated disclaimers. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +2. The Standard Version of the Library may be distributed as part |
| 45 | +of a collection of software, provided no more than a reasonable |
| 46 | +copying fee is charged for the software collection. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +3. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications |
| 49 | +derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A |
| 50 | +Library modified in such a way shall still be considered the |
| 51 | +Standard Version. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +4. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Library in any way, |
| 54 | +provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file |
| 55 | +stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do |
| 56 | +at least ONE of the following: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +a. place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise |
| 59 | +make them Freely Available, such as by posting said |
| 60 | +modifications to the Blitz++ development list, |
| 61 | +and allowing the Copyright Holder to include |
| 62 | +your modifications in the Standard Version of the Library. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +b. use the modified Library only within your corporation or |
| 65 | +organization. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +c. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright |
| 68 | +Holder. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +5. You may distribute programs which use this Library |
| 71 | +in object code or executable form without restriction. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +6. Any object code generated as a result of using this Library |
| 74 | +does not fall under the copyright of this Library, but |
| 75 | +belongs to whomever generated it, and may be sold commercially. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +7. The name of the Copyright Holder or the Library may not be used to |
| 78 | +endorse or promote products derived from this software without |
| 79 | +specific prior written permission. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +8. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED `AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR |
| 82 | +IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED |
| 83 | +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. |
