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

  <simpara>
    The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or
    designee.
  </simpara>
</section>
<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.
  </simpara>

        <simpara>
          The modified version must be labeled as such.
        </simpara>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <simpara>
          The person making the modifications must be identified and the
          modifications dated.
        </simpara>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
        <simpara>
          Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if

          citation practices.
	</simpara>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<simpara>
	  The location of the original unmodified document must be
	  identified.
	</simpara>
      </listitem>
      <listitem>
	<simpara>
	  The original author's (or authors') name(s) may not be used

  <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.
  </simpara>
