The original Artistic license is not appropriate for licensing anything that is not approximately perl, because of the way it is worded. It is a terrible license. Do not use it. It's also highly questionable as to whether things licensed under it can be included in Debian, given the prohibitions on commercial distribution. Please ask upstream to replace it with the Clarified Artistic license (or some other free software license) before this is included in Debian. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
