REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED
VERSIONS
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.
Proper form for an incorporation by reference is as follows:
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 https://www.opencontent.org/openpub/).
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.
-
COPYRIGHT
The copyright to each Open Publication is owned by its author(s)
or designee.
-
SCOPE OF LICENSE
The following license terms apply to all Open Publication works,
unless otherwise explicitly stated in the document.
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.
SEVERABILITY. If any part of this license is found to be
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remaining portions of the
license remain in force.
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.

-
The modified version must be labeled as such.
-
The person making the modifications must be identified and
the modifications dated.
-
Acknowledgement of the original author and publisher if
applicable must be retained according to normal academic
citation practices.

GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested
from and strongly recommended of redistributors that:
-
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.
-
All substantive modifications (including deletions) be
either clearly marked up in the document or else described
in an attachment to the document.
-
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).
-
LICENSE OPTIONS
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
