+The `Blitz++ Artistic License'
+(with thanks and apologies to authors of the Perl Artistic License)
+
+Preamble
+
+The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which 
+Blitz++ may be copied, such that the authors 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 Blitz++ in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the
+right to make reasonable modifications.
+
+Definitions
+
+`Library' 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 Library if it has not been
+modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the
+Copyright Holder as specified below.
+
+Copyright Holder' is whoever is named in the copyright or
+copyrights for the package.
+
+`You' is you, if you're thinking about copying, modifying or
+distributing this Library.
+
+`Freely Available' means that no fee is charged for the item.
+It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it 
+under the same conditions they received it.
+
+``Reasonable copying fee'' is whatever you can justify on the basis
+of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so
+on. (You will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder,
+but only to the computing community at large as a market that must
+bear the fee.)
+
+1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the 
+Standard Version of this Library without restriction, provided that
+you duplicate all of the original copyright notices, this license,
+and associated disclaimers. 
+
+2. The Standard Version of the Library may be distributed as part
+of a collection of software, provided no more than a reasonable
+copying fee is charged for the software collection.
+
+3. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
+derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A
+Library modified in such a way shall still be considered the
+Standard Version.
+
+4. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Library in any way,
+provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
+stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
+at least ONE of the following:
+
+a. place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise
+make them Freely Available, such as by posting said
+modifications to the Blitz++ development list, 
+and allowing the Copyright Holder to include
+your modifications in the Standard Version of the Library.
+
+b. use the modified Library only within your corporation or
+organization. 
+
+c. make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
+Holder.
+
+5. You may distribute programs which use this Library
+in object code or executable form without restriction.
+
+6. Any object code generated as a result of using this Library 
+does not fall under the copyright of this Library, but
+belongs to whomever generated it, and may be sold commercially.
+
+7. The name of the Copyright Holder or the Library may not be used to 
+endorse or promote products derived from this software without 
+specific prior written permission.
+
+8. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED `AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
+IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
