The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as - output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall - under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated - them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this - Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this - Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing - a binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall - neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it - fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you - do not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of - this Package. - - 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other - languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to - emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this - Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the - equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do - not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the - regression tests for the language. - - 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always - permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that - is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces - visible to the end user of the commercial distribution.
