REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS + +The Open Publication works may be reproduced and distributed in whole or in par +t, in any medium physical or electronic, provided that the terms of this licens +e 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 th +e reproduction. + +Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows: + +Copyright (c) <year> by <author's name or designee>. This material may be dist +ributed only subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Open Publicat +ion 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 auth +or(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 o +n all outer surfaces of the book. On all outer surfaces of the book the origina +l publisher's name shall be as large as the title of the work and cited as poss +essive 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 otherwi +se 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 licens +e to apply to those other works. The aggregate work shall contain a notice spec +ifying 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 j +urisdiction, the remaining portions of the license remain in force. + +NO WARRANTY. Open Publication works are licensed and provided "as is" without w +arranty of any kind, express or implied, including, but not limited to, the imp +lied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose or a wa +rranty of non-infringement. + +IV. REQUIREMENTS ON MODIFIED WORKS + +All modified versions of documents covered by this license, including translati +ons, anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must meet the following r +equirements: + +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 r +etained 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 imp +ly endorsement of the resulting document without the original author's (or auth +ors') permission. + +V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS + +In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and stron +gly recommended of redistributors that: + +1) If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you pr +ovide 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 t +o provide updated documents. This notification should describe modifications, i +f 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. + +Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered good fo +rm to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of an Open Public +ation-licensed work to its author(s). + +VI. LICENSE OPTIONS + +The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may ele +ct certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the lic +ense. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be inc +luded with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived works. + +A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the expl +icit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined as a ch +ange to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes in form +at or typographical corrections. + +To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively modified vers +ions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the copy +right 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 t +he work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior permission + is obtained from the copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy. + +OPEN PUBLICATION POLICY APPENDIX: + +(This is not considered part of the license.) + +Open Publication works are available in source format via the Open Publication +home page at http://works.opencontent.org/. + +Open Publication authors who want to include their own license on Open Publicat +ion works may do so, as long as their terms are not more restrictive than the O +pen Publication license. + +If you have questions about the Open Publication License, please contact TBD, a +nd/or the Open Publication Authors' List at opal@opencontent.org, via email. + + |
