Everyone is allowed to distribute verbatim copies of this license document,
|

but modification of it is not allowed.

PREAMBLE
|
|
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) is the primary license under which
|
|
the the LaTeX kernel and the base LaTeX packages are distributed.
|
|
|
|
You may use this license for any work of which you hold the copyright and
|
|
which you wish to distribute. This license may be particularly suitable if
|
|
your work is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but you may use it with
|
|
small modifications 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".
|
|
|
|
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 this 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 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 2003 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 2003/12/01 or later.
|
|
|
|
%
|
|
|
|
% This work has the LPPL maintenance status " maintained ".
|
|
|
|
%
|
|
|
|
% This 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
