+=head1 COMMON LICENSES
+
+This is some common license clauses that are not considered common enough
+to be included in `/usr/share/common-licenses/' (part of the base-files
+package; controlled by the Debian Policy Team). The guideline seems to be
+that there must be at least 250 packages using a license prior to inclusion.
+
+=head2 Artistic License, version 2
+
+=begin html
+
+<pre>    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.</pre>
