In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of open-source licenses, and we do not wish to contribute further to that problem, but this was the only license upon which all involved parties were able to agree. We suggest that you do not use this license for projects that do not involve Cetus.

The Cetus License is a modified Artistic License, similar to the Perl Artistic License. Artistic Licenses are generally OSI approved, although this specific license has not been submitted to OSI. You can view the license on the download page here.
