Open Publication License
|
|
v1.0, 8 June 1999
|
|
|
|
|
|
I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS
|
|
|
|
The Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in whole or in
|
|
part, in any medium physical or electronic, provided that the terms of this
|
|
license are adhered to, and that this license or an incorporation of it by
|
|
reference (with any options elected by the author(s) and/or publisher) is
|
|
displayed in the reproduction.
|
|
|
|
Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:
|
|
|
|
Copyright (c) <year> by <author's name or designee>. This material
|
|
may be distributed only subject to the terms and conditions set
|
|
forth in the Open Publication License, vX.Y or later (the latest
|
|
version is presently available at http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/).
|
|
|
|
The reference must be immediately followed with any options elected by the
|
|
author(s) and/or publisher of the document (see section VI).
|
|
|
|
Commercial redistribution of Open Publication-licensed material is permitted.
|
|
|
|
Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the citation of
|
|
the original publisher and author. The publisher and author's names shall
|
|
appear on all outer surfaces of the book. On all outer surfaces of the book
|
|
the original publisher's name shall be as large as the title of the work
|
|
and cited as possessive with respect to the title.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. COPYRIGHT
|
|
|
|
The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or designee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
III. SCOPE OF LICENSE
|
|
|
|
The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works, unless
|
|
otherwise explicitly stated in the document.
|
|
|
|
Mere aggregation of Open Publication works or a portion of an Open Publication
|
|
work with other works or programs on the same media shall not cause this
|
|
license to apply to those other works. The aggregate work shall contain a
|
|
notice specifying the inclusion of the Open Publication material and
|
|
appropriate copyright notice.
|
|
|
|
SEVERABILITY. If any part of this license is found to be unenforceable in any
|
|
jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the license remain in force.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY. Open Publication works are licensed and provided "as is" without
|
|
warranty of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the
|
|
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or
|
|
a warranty of non-infringement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IV. REQUIREMENTS ON MODIFIED WORKS
|
|
|
|
All modified versions of documents covered by this license, including
|
|
translations, anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must meet
|
|
the following requirements:
|
|
|
|
1. The modified version must be labeled as such.
|
|
|
|
2. The person making the modifications must be identified and the
|
|
modifications dated.
|
|
|
|
3. Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if applicable
|
|
must be retained according to normal academic citation practices.
|
|
|
|
4. The location of the original unmodified document must be identified.
|
|
|
|
5. The original author's (or authors') name(s) may not be used to assert
|
|
or imply endorsement of the resulting document without the original
|
|
author's (or authors') permission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
|
|
|
|
In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and
|
|
strongly recommended of redistributors that:
|
|
|
|
1. If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM,
|
|
you provide email notification to the authors of your intent to
|
|
redistribute at least thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze,
|
|
to give the authors time to provide updated documents. This notification
|
|
should describe modifications, if any, made to the document.
|
|
|
|
2. All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly
|
|
marked up in the document or else described in an attachment to the
|
|
document.
|
|
|
|
3. Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered
|
|
good form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of
|
|
an Open Publication-licensed work to its author(s).
|
|
|
|
|
|
VI. LICENSE OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may
|
|
elect certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the
|
|
license. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be
|
|
included with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived works.
|
|
|
|
A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the
|
|
explicit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined
|
|
as a change to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes
|
|
in format or typographical corrections.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively modified
|
|
versions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of
|
|
the copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy.
|
|
|
|
B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in whole or
|
|
in part in standard (paper) book form for commercial purposes is prohibited
|
|
unless prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this, add the phrase 'Distribution of the work or derivative of
|
|
the work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior
|
|
permission is obtained from the copyright holder.' to the license reference
|
|
or copy.
