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