Licensing -- simplified

Obviously this is just a plain, “unofficial” explanation of the license.

You can, free of charge

  • download PET
  • create an application using PET
  • distribute that applicaion without including PET
  • operate a website that uses PET
  • distribute PET if you keep it intact, including this license, and you do not charge money for it
  • sell an application that uses PET if you do not redistribute PET with it
  • change, rewrite, modify PET as you wish for your own use
  • operate, run a website / application
  • distribute or even sell an application/software which includes PET, if that application/software keeps this the files of PET intact, including this license

You can not

  • sell PET
  • (re)distribute PET under your own name

Even simpler : you can do whatever with PET, except for selling and branching it, or creating a different version that you also name PET.  I want to keep controll over PET to make sure it reaches its original goals : to make programming the WEB using Perl more popular and free.

Please note : PET does not include 3rd party modules, but uses many of them.  You must take that into consideration when you want to do something with it.
