This license may be particularly suitable if your -program is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but you may use it -even if your program is unrelated to TeX. The section `WHETHER AND HOW -TO DISTRIBUTE PROGRAMS UNDER THIS LICENSE`, below, gives instructions, -examples, and recommendations for authors who are considering -distributing their programs under this license. - -In this license document, `The Program` refers to any program -distributed under this license. - -This license gives conditions under which The Program may be distributed -and conditions under which modified versions of The Program may be -distributed. Individual files of The Program may bear supplementary -and/or superseding conditions on modification of themselves and on the -distribution of modified versions of themselves, but *no* file of The -Program may bear supplementary or superseding conditions on the -distribution of an unmodified copy of the file. A distributor wishing -to distribute a complete, unmodified copy of The Program therefore -needs to check the conditions only in this license and nowhere else. - -Activities other than distribution and/or modification of The Program -are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope. In -particular, the act of running The Program is not restricted. - -We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you -the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of The Program -that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while -maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of -The Program. If you do not see how to achieve your goal while -meeting these conditions, then read the document `cfgguide.tex` -in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions. - - -CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION -=========================================== - -You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of The Program. -Distribution of only part of The Program is not allowed. - -You may not modify in any way a file of The Program that bears a legal -notice forbidding modification of that file. - -You may distribute a modified file of The Program if, and only if, the -following eight conditions are met: - - 1. You must meet any additional conditions borne by the file on the - distribution of a modified version of the file as described below - in the subsection `Additional Conditions on Individual Files of - The Program`. - - 2. If the file is a LaTeX software file, then you must meet any - applicable additional conditions on the distribution of a modified - version of the file that are described below in the subsection - `Additional Conditions on LaTeX Software Files`. - - 3. You must not distribute the modified file with the filename of the - original file. - - 4. In the modified file, you must acknowledge the authorship and - name of the original file, and the name (if any) of the program - which contains it. - - 5. You must change any identification string in the file to indicate - clearly that the modified file is not part of The Program. - - 6. You must change any addresses in the modified file for the - reporting of errors in the file or in The Program generally to - ensure that reports for files no longer maintained by the original - maintainers will be directed to the maintainers of the modified - files. - - 7. You must distribute the modified file under a license that forbids - distribution both of the modified file and of any files derived - from the modified file with the filename of the original file. - - 8. You must do either (A) or (B): - - (A) distribute a copy of The Program (that is, a complete, - unmodified copy of The Program) together with the modified - file; if your distribution of the modified file is made by - offering access to copy the modified file from a designated - place, then offering equivalent access to copy The Program - from the same place meets this condition, even though third - parties are not compelled to copy The Program along with the - modified file; - - (B) provide to those who receive the modified file information - that is sufficient for them to obtain a copy of The Program; - for example, you may provide a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) - for a site that you expect will provide them with a copy of - The Program free of charge (either the version from which - your modification is derived, or perhaps a later version). - -Note that in the above, `distribution` of a file means making the -file available to others by any means. This includes, for instance, -installing the file on any machine in such a way that the file is -accessible by users other than yourself. `Modification` of a file -means any procedure that produces a derivative file under any -applicable law -- that is, a file containing the original file or -a significant portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications -and/or translated into another language. - -Changing the name of a file is considered to be a modification of -the file. - -The distribution conditions in this license do not have to be -applied to files that have been modified in accordance with the -above conditions. Note, however, that Condition 7. does apply to -any such modified file. - -The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do not -apply to, the updating, by any method, of a file so that it becomes -identical to the latest version of that file of The Program. - - - -A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution ------------------------------------------------------ - -It is wise never to modify a file of The Program, even for your own -personal use, without also meeting the above eight conditions for -distributing the modified file. While you might intend that such -modified files will never be distributed, often this will happen by -accident -- you may forget that you have modified the file; or it may -not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified file -that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions of -this license. It is usually in your best interest to keep your copy -of The Program identical with the public one. Many programs provide -ways to control the behavior of that program without altering its -licensed files. - - -Additional Conditions on Individual Files of The Program --------------------------------------------------------- - -An individual file of The Program may bear additional conditions that -supplement and/or supersede the conditions in this license if, and only -if, such additional conditions exclusively concern modification of the -file or distribution of a modified version of the file. The conditions -on individual files of The Program therefore may differ only with -respect to the kind and extent of modification of those files that -is allowed, and with respect to the distribution of modified versions -of those files. - - -Additional Conditions on LaTeX Software Files ---------------------------------------------- - -If a file of The Program is intended to be used with LaTeX (that is, -if it is a LaTeX software file), then the following additional -conditions, which supplement and/or supersede the conditions -above, apply to the file according to its filename extension: - - - You may not modify any file with filename extension `.ins` since - these are installation files containing the legal notices that are - placed in the files they generate. - - - You may distribute modified versions of files with filename - extension `.fd` (LaTeX font definition files) under the standard - conditions of the LPPL as described above. You may also distribute - such modified LaTeX font definition files with their original names - provided that: - (1) the only changes to the original files either enable use of - available fonts or prevent attempts to access unavailable fonts; - (2) you also distribute the original, unmodified files (TeX input - paths can be used to control which set of LaTeX font definition - files is actually used by TeX). - - - You may distribute modified versions of files with filename - extension `.cfg` (configuration files) with their original names. - The Program may (and usually will) specify the range of commands - that are allowed in a particular configuration file. - -Because of portability and exchangeability issues in LaTeX software, -The LaTeX3 Project deprecates the distribution of modified versions of -components of LaTeX or of generally available contributed code for them, -but such distribution can meet the conditions of this license. - - -NO WARRANTY -=========== - -There is no warranty for The Program. Except when otherwise stated in -writing, The Copyright Holder provides The Program `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 Program is with you. Should The Program prove defective, you -assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction. - -In no event unless agreed to in writing will The Copyright Holder, or -any author named in the files of The Program, or any other party who may -distribute and/or modify The Program as permitted below, be liable to -you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or -consequential damages arising out of any use of The Program or out of -inability to use The Program (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 Program 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. - - -WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE PROGRAMS UNDER THIS LICENSE -========================================================= - -This section contains important instructions, examples, and -recommendations for authors who are considering distributing their -programs under this license. These authors are addressed as `you` in -this section. - - -Choosing This License or Another License ----------------------------------------- - -If for any part of your program you want or need to use *distribution* -conditions that differ from those in this license, then do not refer to -this license anywhere in your program but instead distribute your -program 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 program 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 program is -unrelated to LaTeX, the discussion in `modguide.tex` may still be -relevant, and authors intending to distribute their programs under any -license are encouraged to read it. - - -How to Use This License ------------------------ - -To use this license, place in each of the files of your program both -an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year and also -a statement that the distribution and/or modification of the file is -constrained by the conditions in this license. - -Here is an example of such a notice and statement: - - %% pig.dtx - %% Copyright 2001 M. Y. Name - % - % This program may be distributed and/or modified under the - % conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.1 - % 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 1.1 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX - % version 1999/06/01 or later. - % - % This program consists of the files pig.dtx and pig.ins - -Given such a notice and statement in a file, the conditions given in -this license document would apply, with `The Program` referring to the -two files `pig.dtx` and `pig.ins`, and `The Copyright Holder` referring -to the person `M. Y. Name`. - - -Important Recommendations -------------------------- - - Defining What Constitutes The Program - - The LPPL requires that distributions of The Program contain all the - files of The Program. It is therefore important that you provide a - way for the licensee to determine which files constitute The Program. - This could, for example, be achieved by explicitly listing all the - files of The Program near the copyright notice of each file or by - using a line like - - % This program 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 Program. - - Noting Exceptional Files - - If The Program contains any files bearing additional conditions on - modification, or on distribution of modified versions, of those - files (other than those listed in `Additional Conditions on LaTeX - Software Files`), then it is recommended that The Program contain a - prominent file that defines the exceptional conditions, and either - lists the exceptional files or defines one or more categories of - exceptional files. - - Files containing the text of a license (such as this file) are - often examples of files bearing more restrictive conditions on - modification. LaTeX configuration files (with filename extension - `.cfg`) are examples of files bearing less restrictive conditions - on the distribution of a modified version of the file. The - additional conditions on LaTeX software given above are examples - of declaring a category of files bearing exceptional additional - conditions. - |
