 When creating binaries for this set of licenses, we must include the source code in the package.

 == Include Notices, Make Source Available ==
 
 As a general rule, every package that is to be distributed as a binary must contain a copy of its license and any accompanying notices. This is usually handled with Makefiles automatically placing it along with the documentation. Of interesting note is the fact that many packages have man pages that cover the license as well.

 == BSD MIT Apache ==
 For BSD-style licenses, including the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php "original" and "modified" BSD licenses] and the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php MIT license]. The [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/apache2.0.php Apache license] also counts as BSD. With these licenses the distribution of source code is optional.
 
+== Artistic ==
+The [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php Artistic License] is traditionally associated with Perl, but it may be found elsewhere. Most Perl modules say they are licensed under "the same terms as Perl itself"; this essentially means a dual license that permits any version of the Artistic License or the GPL, at the user's option. In the future, if Perl changes its licensing terms and Perl modules start to tie their terms to these specific versions of Perl, this may complicate matters.
+
 == Commercial ==
 For a port licensed under restrictive, commercial terms. Use this for commercial packages (e.g. Freeware, Shareware) which do not allow free redistribution of source or binaries.
