I just froze the RFC that contains Artistic-2.0.
Here are the differences between beta3 and beta4 of the Artistic License.
I did the following things:
* clarified the "In addition," confusion that Dave brought up.
* Returned to saying "Freely Available" instead of "Exact License of". I
did this so that, for example, people could make their changes
available under the modified BSD license if they want. It seemed to me
that there is no reason to require that they must use the the same
license as the Standard Version. (Heck, even perl5 has code under the
(modified?) BSD license, so we should definitely be tolerant of people
who make their changes to Perl available that way).
* Fixed some typos
