This license may be particularly -suitable if your work is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but -it is written in such a way that you can use it even if your work is -unrelated to TeX. - -The section `WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE', -below, gives instructions, examples, and recommendations for authors -who are considering distributing their works under this license. - -This license gives conditions under which a work may be distributed -and modified, as well as conditions under which modified versions of -that work may be distributed. - -We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you -the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of your work -that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while -maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of -that work. If you do not see how to achieve your goal while -meeting these conditions, then read the document `cfgguide.tex' -and `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions. - - -DEFINITIONS -=========== - -In this license document the following terms are used: - -`Work' -Any work being distributed under this License. - -`Derived Work' -Any work that under any applicable law is derived from the Work. - -`Modification' -Any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any applicable -law -- for example, the production of a file containing an -original file associated with the Work or a significant portion of -such a file, either verbatim or with modifications and/or -translated into another language. - -`Modify' -To apply any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any -applicable law. - -`Distribution' -Making copies of the Work available from one person to another, in -whole or in part. Distribution includes (but is not limited to) -making any electronic components of the Work accessible by -file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP or by shared file -systems such as Sun's Network File System (NFS). - -`Compiled Work' -A version of the Work that has been processed into a form where it -is directly usable on a computer system. This processing may -include using installation facilities provided by the Work, -transformations of the Work, copying of components of the Work, or -other activities. Note that modification of any installation -facilities provided by the Work constitutes modification of the Work. - -`Current Maintainer' -A person or persons nominated as such within the Work. If there is -no such explicit nomination then it is the `Copyright Holder' under -any applicable law. - -`Base Interpreter' -A program or process that is normally needed for running or -interpreting a part or the whole of the Work. - -A Base Interpreter may depend on external components but these -are not considered part of the Base Interpreter provided that each -external component clearly identifies itself whenever it is used -interactively. Unless explicitly specified when applying the -license to the Work, the only applicable Base Interpreter is a -`LaTeX-Format' or in the case of files belonging to the -`LaTeX-format' a program implementing the `TeX language'. - - - -CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION -=========================================== - -1. Activities other than distribution and/or modification of the Work -are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope. In -particular, the act of running the Work is not restricted and no -requirements are made concerning any offers of support for the Work. - -2. You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you -received it. Distribution of only part of the Work is considered -modification of the Work, and no right to distribute such a Derived -Work may be assumed under the terms of this clause. - -3. You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a -complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2 -above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that -the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly -as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work -directly from the Work. - -4. If you are the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may, without -restriction, modify the Work, thus creating a Derived Work. You may -also distribute the Derived Work without restriction, including -Compiled Works generated from the Derived Work. Derived Works -distributed in this manner by the Current Maintainer are considered to -be updated versions of the Work. - -5. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may modify -your copy of the Work, thus creating a Derived Work based on the Work, -and compile this Derived Work, thus creating a Compiled Work based on -the Derived Work. - -6. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may -distribute a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met -for every component of the Work unless that component clearly states -in the copyright notice that it is exempt from that condition. Only -the Current Maintainer is allowed to add such statements of exemption -to a component of the Work. - -a. If a component of this Derived Work can be a direct replacement -for a component of the Work when that component is used with the -Base Interpreter, then, wherever this component of the Work -identifies itself to the user when used interactively with that -Base Interpreter, the replacement component of this Derived Work -clearly and unambiguously identifies itself as a modified version -of this component to the user when used interactively with that -Base Interpreter. - -b. Every component of the Derived Work contains prominent notices -detailing the nature of the changes to that component, or a -prominent reference to another file that is distributed as part -of the Derived Work and that contains a complete and accurate log -of the changes. - -c. No information in the Derived Work implies that any persons, -including (but not limited to) the authors of the original version -of the Work, provide any support, including (but not limited to) -the reporting and handling of errors, to recipients of the -Derived Work unless those persons have stated explicitly that -they do provide such support for the Derived Work. - -d. You distribute at least one of the following with the Derived Work: - -1. A complete, unmodified copy of the Work; -if your distribution of a modified component is made by -offering access to copy the modified component from a -designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy -the Work from the same or some similar place meets this -condition, even though third parties are not compelled to -copy the Work along with the modified component; - -2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete, -unmodified copy of the Work. - -7. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may -distribute a Compiled Work generated from a Derived Work, as long as -the Derived Work is distributed to all recipients of the Compiled -Work, and as long as the conditions of Clause 6, above, are met with -regard to the Derived Work. - -8. The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do not -apply to, the modification, by any method, of any component so that it -becomes identical to an updated version of that component of the Work as -it is distributed by the Current Maintainer under Clause 4, above. - -9. Distribution of the Work or any Derived Work in an alternative -format, where the Work or that Derived Work (in whole or in part) is -then produced by applying some process to that format, does not relax or -nullify any sections of this license as they pertain to the results of -applying that process. - -10. a. A Derived Work may be distributed under a different license -provided that license itself honors the conditions listed in -Clause 6 above, in regard to the Work, though it does not have -to honor the rest of the conditions in this license. - -b. If a Derived Work is distributed under a different license, that -Derived Work must provide sufficient documentation as part of -itself to allow each recipient of that Derived Work to honor the -restrictions in Clause 6 above, concerning changes from the Work. - -11. This license places no restrictions on works that are unrelated to -the Work, nor does this license place any restrictions on aggregating -such works with the Work by any means. - -12. Nothing in this license is intended to, or may be used to, prevent -complete compliance by all parties with all applicable laws. - - -NO WARRANTY -=========== - -There is no warranty for the Work. Except when otherwise stated in -writing, the Copyright Holder provides the Work `as is', without -warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not -limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a -particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance -of the Work is with you. Should the Work prove defective, you assume -the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction. - -In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing -will The Copyright Holder, or any author named in the components of the -Work, or any other party who may distribute and/or modify the Work as -permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general, -special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of any use of -the Work or out of inability to use the Work (including, but not limited -to, loss of data, data being rendered inaccurate, or losses sustained by -anyone as a result of any failure of the Work to operate with any other -programs), even if the Copyright Holder or said author or said other -party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. - - -MAINTENANCE OF THE WORK -======================= - -The Work has the status `author-maintained' if the Copyright Holder -explicitly and prominently states near the primary copyright notice in -the Work that the Work can only be maintained by the Copyright Holder -or simply that it is `author-maintained'. - -The Work has the status `maintained' if there is a Current Maintainer -who has indicated in the Work that they are willing to receive error -reports for the Work (for example, by supplying a valid e-mail -address). It is not required for the Current Maintainer to acknowledge -or act upon these error reports. - -The Work changes from status `maintained' to `unmaintained' if there -is no Current Maintainer, or the person stated to be Current -Maintainer of the work cannot be reached through the indicated means -of communication for a period of six months, and there are no other -significant signs of active maintenance. - -You can become the Current Maintainer of the Work by agreement with -any existing Current Maintainer to take over this role. - -If the Work is unmaintained, you can become the Current Maintainer of -the Work through the following steps: - -1. Make a reasonable attempt to trace the Current Maintainer (and -the Copyright Holder, if the two differ) through the means of -an Internet or similar search. - -2. If this search is successful, then enquire whether the Work -is still maintained. - -a. If it is being maintained, then ask the Current Maintainer -to update their communication data within one month. - -b. If the search is unsuccessful or no action to resume active -maintenance is taken by the Current Maintainer, then announce -within the pertinent community your intention to take over -maintenance. (If the Work is a LaTeX work, this could be -done, for example, by posting to comp.text.tex.) - -3a. If the Current Maintainer is reachable and agrees to pass -maintenance of the Work to you, then this takes effect -immediately upon announcement. - -b. If the Current Maintainer is not reachable and the Copyright -Holder agrees that maintenance of the Work be passed to you, -then this takes effect immediately upon announcement. - -4. If you make an `intention announcement' as described in 2b. above -and after three months your intention is challenged neither by -the Current Maintainer nor by the Copyright Holder nor by other -people, then you may arrange for the Work to be changed so as -to name you as the (new) Current Maintainer. - -5. If the previously unreachable Current Maintainer becomes -reachable once more within three months of a change completed -under the terms of 3b) or 4), then that Current Maintainer must -become or remain the Current Maintainer upon request provided -they then update their communication data within one month. - -A change in the Current Maintainer does not, of itself, alter the fact -that the Work is distributed under the LPPL license. - -If you become the Current Maintainer of the Work, you should -immediately provide, within the Work, a prominent and unambiguous -statement of your status as Current Maintainer. You should also -announce your new status to the same pertinent community as -in 2b) above. - - -WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE -====================================================== - -This section contains important instructions, examples, and -recommendations for authors who are considering distributing their -works under this license. These authors are addressed as `you' in -this section. - -Choosing This License or Another License ----------------------------------------- - -If for any part of your work you want or need to use *distribution* -conditions that differ significantly from those in this license, then -do not refer to this license anywhere in your work but, instead, -distribute your work under a different license. You may use the text -of this license as a model for your own license, but your license -should not refer to the LPPL or otherwise give the impression that -your work is distributed under the LPPL. - -The document `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution explains -the motivation behind the conditions of this license. It explains, -for example, why distributing LaTeX under the GNU General Public -License (GPL) was considered inappropriate. Even if your work is -unrelated to LaTeX, the discussion in `modguide.tex' may still be -relevant, and authors intending to distribute their works under any -license are encouraged to read it. - -A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution ------------------------------------------------------ - -It is wise never to modify a component of the Work, even for your own -personal use, without also meeting the above conditions for -distributing the modified component. While you might intend that such -modifications will never be distributed, often this will happen by -accident -- you may forget that you have modified that component; or -it may not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified -version that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions -of this license in ways that could have legal implications and, worse, -cause problems for the community. It is therefore usually in your -best interest to keep your copy of the Work identical with the public -one. Many works provide ways to control the behavior of that work -without altering any of its licensed components. - -How to Use This License ------------------------ - -To use this license, place in each of the components of your work both -an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year the work -was authored and/or last substantially modified. Include also a -statement that the distribution and/or modification of that -component is constrained by the conditions in this license. - -Here is an example of such a notice and statement: - -%% pig.dtx -%% Copyright 2005 M. Y. Name -% -% This work may be distributed and/or modified under the -% conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 -% of this license or (at your option) any later version. -% The latest version of this license is in -% http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt -% and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX -% version 2005/12/01 or later. -% -% This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'. -% -% The Current Maintainer of this work is M. Y. Name. -% -% This work consists of the files pig.dtx and pig.ins -% and the derived file pig.sty. - -Given such a notice and statement in a file, the conditions -given in this license document would apply, with the `Work' referring -to the three files `pig.dtx', `pig.ins', and `pig.sty' (the last being -generated from `pig.dtx' using `pig.ins'), the `Base Interpreter' -referring to any `LaTeX-Format', and both `Copyright Holder' and -`Current Maintainer' referring to the person `M. Y. Name'. - -If you do not want the Maintenance section of LPPL to apply to your -Work, change `maintained' above into `author-maintained'. -However, we recommend that you use `maintained', as the Maintenance -section was added in order to ensure that your Work remains useful to -the community even when you can no longer maintain and support it -yourself. - -Derived Works That Are Not Replacements ---------------------------------------- - -Several clauses of the LPPL specify means to provide reliability and -stability for the user community. They therefore concern themselves -with the case that a Derived Work is intended to be used as a -(compatible or incompatible) replacement of the original Work. If -this is not the case (e.g., if a few lines of code are reused for a -completely different task), then clauses 6b and 6d shall not apply. - - -Important Recommendations -------------------------- - -Defining What Constitutes the Work - -The LPPL requires that distributions of the Work contain all the -files of the Work. It is therefore important that you provide a -way for the licensee to determine which files constitute the Work. -This could, for example, be achieved by explicitly listing all the -files of the Work near the copyright notice of each file or by -using a line such as: - -% This work consists of all files listed in manifest.txt. - -in that place. In the absence of an unequivocal list it might be -impossible for the licensee to determine what is considered by you -to comprise the Work and, in such a case, the licensee would be -entitled to make reasonable conjectures as to which files comprise -the Work. - - - - - - |
