(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.) * * "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, * though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means * that recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same * conditions they received it. * * 1.

You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or * executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: * * a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library * files, together with instructions (in the manual page or * equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version. * * b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of * the Package with your modifications. * * c) accompany any non-standard executables with their * corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the * non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly * documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), * together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. * * d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. * * 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of * this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this * Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself.
