No, you can still do that, provided you also comply with sections 1-7 of Artistic 2.0. Section 8 just allows you to distribute an embedded Perl interpreter in another application without _any_ further restrictions if you don't expose the fact that you embedded Perl to your end users. This is getting increasingly off-topic, but I wanted to make sure nobody takes the wrong conclusion when stumble on this thread via Google in a year or two. :) > But its all moot anyway as we are talking perl5 and Artistic 1.0.
