bos@5 1 \chapter{Open Publication License}
bos@5 2 \label{cha:opl}
bos@5 3
bos@5 4 Version 1.0, 8 June 1999
bos@5 5
bos@5 6 \section{Requirements on both unmodified and modified versions}
bos@5 7
bos@5 8 The Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in whole
bos@5 9 or in part, in any medium physical or electronic, provided that the
bos@5 10 terms of this license are adhered to, and that this license or an
bos@5 11 incorporation of it by reference (with any options elected by the
bos@5 12 author(s) and/or publisher) is displayed in the reproduction.
bos@5 13
bos@5 14 Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:
bos@5 15
bos@5 16 \begin{quote}
bos@5 17 Copyright (c) \emph{year} by \emph{author's name or designee}. This
bos@5 18 material may be distributed only subject to the terms and conditions
bos@5 19 set forth in the Open Publication License, v\emph{x.y} or later (the
bos@5 20 latest version is presently available at
bos@5 21 \url{http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/}).
bos@5 22 \end{quote}
bos@5 23
bos@5 24 The reference must be immediately followed with any options elected by
bos@5 25 the author(s) and/or publisher of the document (see
bos@5 26 section~\ref{sec:opl:options}).
bos@5 27
bos@5 28 Commercial redistribution of Open Publication-licensed material is
bos@5 29 permitted.
bos@5 30
bos@5 31 Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the
bos@5 32 citation of the original publisher and author. The publisher and
bos@5 33 author's names shall appear on all outer surfaces of the book. On all
bos@5 34 outer surfaces of the book the original publisher's name shall be as
bos@5 35 large as the title of the work and cited as possessive with respect to
bos@5 36 the title.
bos@5 37
bos@5 38 \section{Copyright}
bos@5 39
bos@5 40 The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or
bos@5 41 designee.
bos@5 42
bos@5 43 \section{Scope of license}
bos@5 44
bos@5 45 The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works,
bos@5 46 unless otherwise explicitly stated in the document.
bos@5 47
bos@5 48 Mere aggregation of Open Publication works or a portion of an Open
bos@5 49 Publication work with other works or programs on the same media shall
bos@5 50 not cause this license to apply to those other works. The aggregate
bos@5 51 work shall contain a notice specifying the inclusion of the Open
bos@5 52 Publication material and appropriate copyright notice.
bos@5 53
bos@5 54 \textbf{Severability}. If any part of this license is found to be
bos@5 55 unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the
bos@5 56 license remain in force.
bos@5 57
bos@5 58 \textbf{No warranty}. Open Publication works are licensed and provided
bos@5 59 ``as is'' without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including,
bos@5 60 but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and
bos@5 61 fitness for a particular purpose or a warranty of non-infringement.
bos@5 62
bos@5 63 \section{Requirements on modified works}
bos@5 64
bos@5 65 All modified versions of documents covered by this license, including
bos@5 66 translations, anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must
bos@5 67 meet the following requirements:
bos@5 68
bos@5 69 \begin{enumerate}
bos@5 70 \item The modified version must be labeled as such.
bos@5 71 \item The person making the modifications must be identified and the
bos@5 72 modifications dated.
bos@5 73 \item Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if
bos@5 74 applicable must be retained according to normal academic citation
bos@5 75 practices.
bos@5 76 \item The location of the original unmodified document must be
bos@5 77 identified.
bos@5 78 \item The original author's (or authors') name(s) may not be used to
bos@5 79 assert or imply endorsement of the resulting document without the
bos@5 80 original author's (or authors') permission.
bos@5 81 \end{enumerate}
bos@5 82
bos@5 83 \section{Good-practice recommendations}
bos@5 84
bos@5 85 In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from
bos@5 86 and strongly recommended of redistributors that:
bos@5 87
bos@5 88 \begin{enumerate}
bos@5 89 \item If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or
bos@5 90 CD-ROM, you provide email notification to the authors of your intent
bos@5 91 to redistribute at least thirty days before your manuscript or media
bos@5 92 freeze, to give the authors time to provide updated documents. This
bos@5 93 notification should describe modifications, if any, made to the
bos@5 94 document.
bos@5 95 \item All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either
bos@5 96 clearly marked up in the document or else described in an attachment
bos@5 97 to the document.
bos@5 98 \item Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is
bos@5 99 considered good form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM
bos@5 100 expression of an Open Publication-licensed work to its author(s).
bos@5 101 \end{enumerate}
bos@5 102
bos@5 103 \section{License options}
bos@5 104 \label{sec:opl:options}
bos@5 105
bos@5 106 The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed
bos@5 107 document may elect certain options by appending language to the
bos@5 108 reference to or copy of the license. These options are considered part
bos@5 109 of the license instance and must be included with the license (or its
bos@5 110 incorporation by reference) in derived works.
bos@5 111
bos@5 112 \begin{enumerate}[A]
bos@5 113 \item To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions
bos@5 114 without the explicit permission of the author(s). ``Substantive
bos@5 115 modification'' is defined as a change to the semantic content of the
bos@5 116 document, and excludes mere changes in format or typographical
bos@5 117 corrections.
bos@5 118
bos@5 119 To accomplish this, add the phrase ``Distribution of substantively
bos@5 120 modified versions of this document is prohibited without the
bos@5 121 explicit permission of the copyright holder.'' to the license
bos@5 122 reference or copy.
bos@5 123
bos@5 124 \item To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in
bos@5 125 whole or in part in standard (paper) book form for commercial
bos@5 126 purposes is prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from the
bos@5 127 copyright holder.
bos@5 128
bos@5 129 To accomplish this, add the phrase ``Distribution of the work or
bos@5 130 derivative of the work in any standard (paper) book form is
bos@5 131 prohibited unless prior permission is obtained from the copyright
bos@5 132 holder.'' to the license reference or copy.
