Artistic License - Artistic License 2.0

Artistic License 2.0

In response to the Request for comments process for improving the licensing position for Perl 6, Kuhn's draft was extensively rewritten by Roberta Cairney and Allison Randal for readability and legal clarity, with input from the Perl community. This resulted in the Artistic License 2.0 which has been approved as both a free software and open source license.

It has been adopted by some of the Perl 6 implementations, and has been used by the Parrot virtual machine since version 0.4.13.

The OSI recommends that all developers and projects licensing their products with the Artistic License adopt Artistic License 2.0.

Famous quotes containing the words artistic and/or license:

    The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, who follows blind instinct, strives to duplicate the reality of nature. The first one elevates art to its highest peak; the second one lowers it to its basest level.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Nature is mythical and mystical always, and works with the license and extravagance of genius. She has her luxurious and florid style as well as art.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
