License text goes here. White spaces will be preserved. <pre> tag is not required.
 
 
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 https://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 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.
