no personal advice about artistic licence :-(

The problems that the FSF (and Fedora) identified with the Artistic 1
license certainly are valid - the license is quite vague and there are
numerous places where more clarity would be helpful. However, the same
is true of many licenses, the FSF's own GPL included. The lack of OSI
approval is another issue that I think weighs more heavily against the
Artistic 1.

According this page it is OSI certified:
