Artistic License

The Artistic License is a software license used for certain free software packages, most notably the standard Perl implementation.

While most in the free software community recognise it as a free software license (as do most proponents of the alternative term open source software), it is often heavily criticised for being ambiguous, self-contradictory, and thus virtually impossible to interpret.
