I.
REQUIREMENTS FOR 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.
All modified versions
of documents covered by this license, including translations,
anthologies, compilations and partial documents, must meet the
following requirements:
- 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.
- The location of
the original unmodified document must be identified.
Proper form for 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 TIP Open Publication License (the latest version is presently
available at http://tip.uwyo.edu/yourtip/opl/).
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.
II. COPYRIGHT
The copyright to each
Open Publication is owned by its author(s) or designee.
III. 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.
IV. 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).
