Some versions of the artistic license contain the

following clause:

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.

With or without this clause, the license is

approved by OSI for certifying software as OSI Certified Open Source.

One such example is the Perl Artistic License.

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
