I don't think the problem is solved, We cannot say that this [Artistic
license 1.0] is a free software license because it is too vague; some
passages are too clever for their own good, and their meaning is not
clear (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ArtisticLicense).

I would rather suggesst the simutrans developers to update their license
to the Artistic License 2.0 or to include an "or any later version"
clause.  The AL 2.0 keeps the essence of the old version with a clean
wording.

Regards.
