OSD Model Code -- Article 1 (Free Distribution)

[Lawrence E. Rosen]

I don't believe the sentence "You may not charge a fee for this Package
itself" in Section 5 of the Artistic License would be consistent with
the wording I proposed.  Does anyone remember why that sentence was put
into the Artistic License?  Is it consistent with open source software?
Is it enforced?  /Larry
