Bien, Richard, acá dejo la licencia "The Artistic License 2.0" en este mail... 
pero el punto central sería tratar de convencer al autor de maitreya de que 
cambie su actual licencia Artistic 1.0 a la Artistic 2.0 o GPL. Gracias por 
tu tiempo:


The Artistic License 2.0

Tomado de: http://www.perlfoundation.org/legal/licenses/artistic-2_0.html

Copyright (c) 2000-2006, The Perl Foundation.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license 
document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
This license establishes the terms under which a given free software Package 
may be copied, modified, distributed, and/or redistributed. The intent is 
that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic control over the 
development of that Package while still keeping the Package available as open 
source and free software.
You are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside of this license 
directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package. If the terms of this 
license do not permit the full use that you propose to make of the Package, 
you should contact the Copyright Holder and seek a different licensing 
arrangement.
Definitions
"Copyright Holder" means the individual(s) or organization(s) named in the 
copyright notice for the entire Package.
"Contributor" means any party that has contributed code or other material to 
the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's procedures.
"You" and "your" means any person who would like to copy, distribute, or 
modify the Package.
"Package" means the collection of files distributed by the Copyright Holder, 
and derivatives of that collection and/or of those files. A given Package may 
consist of either the Standard Version, or a Modified Version.
"Distribute" means providing a copy of the Package or making it accessible to 
anyone else, or in the case of a company or organization, to others outside 
of your company or organization.
"Distributor Fee" means any fee that you charge for Distributing this Package 
or providing support for this Package to another party. It does not mean 
licensing fees.
"Standard Version" refers to the Package if it has not been modified, or has 
been modified only in ways explicitly requested by the Copyright Holder.
"Modified Version" means the Package, if it has been changed, and such changes 
were not explicitly requested by the Copyright Holder.
"Original License" means this Artistic License as Distributed with the 
Standard Version of the Package, in its current version or as it may be 
modified by The Perl Foundation in the future.
"Source" form means the source code, documentation source, and configuration 
files for the Package.
"Compiled" form means the compiled bytecode, object code, binary, or any other 
form resulting from mechanical transformation or translation of the Source 
form.
Permission for Use and Modification Without Distribution
(1) You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use Modified 
Versions for any purpose without restriction, provided that you do not 
Distribute the Modified Version.
Permissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version
(2) You may Distribute verbatim copies of the Source form of the Standard 
Version of this Package in any medium without restriction, either gratis or 
for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate all of the original 
copyright notices and associated disclaimers. At your discretion, such 
verbatim copies may or may not include a Compiled form of the Package.
(3) You may apply any bug fixes, portability changes, and other modifications 
made available from the Copyright Holder. The resulting Package will still be 
considered the Standard Version, and as such will be subject to the Original 
License.
Distribution of Modified Versions of the Package as Source
(4) You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis or for a 
Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the Modified Version) 
provided that you clearly document how it differs from the Standard Version, 
including, but not limited to, documenting any non-standard features, 
executables, or modules, and provided that you do at least ONE of the 
following:
(a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder of the 
Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the Copyright Holder 
may include your modifications in the Standard Version.
(b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not prevent the 
user installing or running the Standard Version. In addition, the Modified 
Version must bear a name that is different from the name of the Standard 
Version.
(c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to make the 
Source form of the Modified Version available to others under 
(i) the Original License or
(ii) a license that permits the licensee to freely copy, modify and 
redistribute the Modified Version using the same licensing terms that apply 
to the copy that the licensee received, and requires that the Source form of 
the Modified Version, and of any works derived from it, be made freely 
available in that license fees are prohibited but Distributor Fees are 
allowed.
Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version or Modified Versions 
without the Source
(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without the 
Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to get the 
Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be valid at the time 
of your distribution. If these instructions, at any time while you are 
carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you must provide new 
instructions on demand or cease further distribution. If you provide valid 
instructions or cease distribution within thirty days after you become aware 
that the instructions are invalid, then you do not forfeit any of your rights 
under this license.
(6) You may Distribute a Modified Version in Compiled form without the Source, 
provided that you comply with Section 4 with respect to the Source of the 
Modified Version.
Aggregating or Linking the Package
(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or Modified 
Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting aggregation 
provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the Package. Distributor 
Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other components in the 
aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license apply to the use and 
Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions as included in the 
aggregation.
(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with other works, 
to embed the Package in a larger work of your own, or to build stand-alone 
binary or bytecode versions of applications that include the Package, and 
Distribute the result without restriction, provided the result does not 
expose a direct interface to the Package.
Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that merely 
extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause the Package 
to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not considered parts of 
the Package itself, and are not subject to the terms of this license.
General Provisions
(10) Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or Modified 
Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using, modifying or 
distributing the Package, you accept this license. Do not use, modify, or 
distribute the Package, if you do not accept this license.
(11) If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified Version made by 
someone other than you, you are nevertheless required to ensure that your 
Modified Version complies with the requirements of this license.
(12) This license does not grant you the right to use any trademark, service 
mark, tradename, or logo of the Copyright Holder.
(13) This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide, free-of-charge patent 
license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import and otherwise 
transfer the Package with respect to any patent claims licensable by the 
Copyright Holder that are necessarily infringed by the Package. If you 
institute patent litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim) against 
any party alleging that the Package constitutes direct or contributory patent 
infringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate on the date 
that such litigation is filed.
(14) Disclaimer of Warranty: THE PACKAGE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER 
AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE 
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR 
NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY YOUR LOCAL LAW. 
UNLESS REQUIRED BY LAW, NO COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTOR WILL BE LIABLE FOR 
ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING IN ANY WAY 
OUT OF THE USE OF THE PACKAGE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH 
DAMAGE.
