| − | This license can be used as a free documentation license. It is a
| |
| − | copyleft free documentation license provided the copyright holder does
| |
| − | not exercise any of the “LICENSE OPTIONS” listed in Section VI of the
| |
| − | license. But if either of the options is invoked, the license becomes
| |
| − | nonfree. In any case, it is incompatible with the GNU FDL.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This creates a practical pitfall in using or recommending this
| |
| − | license: if you recommend “Use the Open Publication License, Version
| |
| − | 1.0 but don't enable the options”, it would be easy for the second | |
| − | half of that recommendation to get forgotten; someone might use the
| |
| − | license with the options, making a manual nonfree, and yet think he or
| |
| − | she is following your advice.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Likewise, if you use this license without either of the options to
| |
| − | make your manual free, someone else might decide to imitate you, then
| |
| − | change his or her mind about the options thinking that that is just a
| |
| − | detail; the result would be that his or her manual is nonfree.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thus, while manuals published under this license do qualify as free
| |
| − | documentation if neither license option was used, it is better to use
| |
| − | the GNU Free Documentation License and avoid the risk of leading
| |
| − | someone else astray.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note that this license is not the same as the Open Content
| |
| − | License. These two licenses are frequently confused, as the Open
| |
| − | Content License is often referred to as the “OPL”. For clarity, it is
| |
| − | better not to use the abbreviation “OPL” for either license. It is
| |
| − | worth spelling their names in full to make sure people understand what
| |
| − | you say.

| − | 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:
| |
| − | | |
| − | The modified version must be labeled as such. The person making the
| |
| − | modifications must be identified and the modifications dated.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if applicable
| |
| − | must be retained according to normal academic citation practices.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The location of the original unmodified document must be identified.
| |
| − | 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:
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 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
| |
| − | 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.
