<section id="opl.require">
<title>I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED
VERSIONS</title>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:
</simpara>
<para>
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 <ulink
url="&url.opl;">&url.opl;</ulink>
</para>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>

<section id="opl.copyright">
<title>II. COPYRIGHT</title>

designee.

<section id="opl.scope">
<title>III. SCOPE OF LICENSE</title>
<simpara>
The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works,
unless otherwise explicitly stated in the document.
</simpara>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
SEVERABILITY. If any part of this license is found to be
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the
license remain in force.
</simpara>
<simpara>
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.

<title>V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS</title>
<simpara>
In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested
from and strongly recommended of redistributors that:
</simpara>
<para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either
clearly marked up in the document or else described in an
attachment to the document.
</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>
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).
</simpara>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
</section>
<section id="opl.options">
<title>VI. LICENSE OPTIONS</title>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
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.
</simpara>
<simpara>
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.
