51 2. use the modified Package only within your corporation or
53 3. rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
54 with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide

56 clearly documents how it differs from the Standard Version.
57 4. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
58 5. permit and encourge anyone who receives a copy of the modified
59 Package permission to make your modifications Freely Available in

65 1. distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
66 together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on

81 aggregate with other (possibly commercial and possibly nonfree)

83 software distribution, and charge license fees for other parts of that
84 software distribution, provided that you do not advertise this Package
85 as a product of your own. If the Package includes an interpreter, You
86 may embed this Package's interpreter within an executable of yours (by

91 from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the

93 may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package. If
94 such scripts or library files are aggregated with this Package via the
95 so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a binary executable
96 image, then distribution of such an image shall neither be construed as
97 a distribution of this Package nor shall it fall under the restrictions
98 of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do not represent such an
99 executable image as a Standard Version of this Package.
100 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other languages)
101 supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to emulate
102 subroutines and variables of the language defined by this Package shall
103 not be considered part of this Package, but are the equivalent of input
104 as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do not change the
105 language in any way that would cause it to fail the regression tests
107 8. Aggregation of the Standard Version of the Package with a commercial
108 distribution is always permitted provided that the use of this Package
109 is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this
110 Package's interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial
111 distribution. Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this
