Then please explain this from the License:
"5. [...]You may not charge a fee for this Package itself."

Yes, the Artistic License is a really bad license. Yes, people sell
software licensed under it. And AFAIK, nobody has ever been accused of
violating the license by very clearly selling software that is
licensed under the Artistic License. But, imho, section 5 is clear
about NOT selling the software.
