So far as I remember the Artistic License gives the author of
an option to do just about anything with the code written in the
Perl lanaguage. The only restrictions are what people do with
code that makes up the various perl packages themselves.
The author of code can sell it, rent it or use it to spice up a
salad so far as the license is concerned. This is distinctly
different than the GPL.
