1 \chapter{Open Publication License}
2 \label{cha:opl}
4 Version 1.0, 8 June 1999
6 \section{Requirements on both unmodified and modified versions}
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.
14 Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:
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}
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}).
28 Commercial redistribution of Open Publication-licensed material is
29 permitted.
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.
38 \section{Copyright}
40 The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or
41 designee.
43 \section{Scope of license}
45 The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works,
46 unless otherwise explicitly stated in the document.
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.
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.
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.
63 \section{Requirements on modified works}
65 All modified versions of documents covered by this license, including
66 translations, anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must
67 meet the following requirements:
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}
83 \section{Good-practice recommendations}
85 In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from
86 and strongly recommended of redistributors that:
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}
103 \section{License options}
104 \label{sec:opl:options}
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
