6.11 artistic: Show the Artistic license notice

The artistic command displays the notice for the Artistic License. It is the license most popularly associated with the perl project.

This license is not short enough to serve as a license notice, and there is no standardized notice, so one is supplied from within the licenseutils project.

There are two versions of the license: 1.0 and 2.0, and only the 2.0 is compatible with the GPL. The full-text of the license can be seen using the --full option. Version 1.0 can be seen with the -1 option.

artistic downloads the full-text of the license from directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:ArtisticLicense2.0.
