eNetwizard Content Application Server License

[Robert Samuel White]

Below is the license for the product; it is also available at
http://enetwizard.sourceforge.net/license.html - right now it is
undergoing review at the Open Source Initiative for their approval.  I’m
not sure how to address the issue of collaboration with others (like
yourself) and would like to hear your feedback on this.  What do you
suggest?

eNetwizard Content Application Server License

(Modified Artistic License)
 
Preamble

Copyright Robert Samuel White, 1998-2002.  All Rights Reserved.
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which
eNetwizard Content Application Server ("Package") may be copied, such
that the author, Robert Samuel White ("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.

notices and associated comments that are included at the beginning and
end of each file that is distributed with the Standard Version. 

• If the source code was modified in any way, each file that was
modified must include the statement "this file was modified from its
original version" along with appropriate comments indicating how and why
the file was modified; these comments should be placed directly

nor may "eNetwizard" appear in their name -- without prior written
permission from the Copyright Holder. You may indicate that your

• You may not charge any fees for the 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.
