Jean Marie Diaz, Lydia Leong, and Devin Hooker, the * TinyMUSH 2.2 copyright holders, explicitly agreed to relicense * their source code under the Artistic License in 2002, and TinyMUSH 2.2.5 * was released under this license; Alan Schwartz has confirmatory email * from them authorizing the redistribution of any portions of TinyMUSH 2.2 * that may be present in PennMUSH under the Artistic License. * * The Artistic License is also the license under which you * are granted permission to copy, modify, and redistribute PennMUSH: * * The Artistic License * * 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. * * Definitions: * * "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright * Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through * textual modification. * "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. * "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights * for the package. * "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package. * "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.) * "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. * * 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 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: * * 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 ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your * modifications in the Standard Version of the Package. * * b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. * * 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. * * d) 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: * * 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. * * b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the * Package with your modifications. * * c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding * Standard Version executables, giving the non-standard executables * non-standard names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual * pages (or equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the * Standard Version. * * d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. * * 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. * * 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 whomever generated them, * and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package. * * 7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package * shall not be considered part of this Package. * * 8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or * promote products derived from this software without specific prior * written permission. * * 9.
