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) by .
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.
