This license may be particularly suitable if your program is +TeXrelated (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&rdqou;, 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 (other than as necessitated by the file +conventions of the target file systems) 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 above, 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 1.2 + % of this license or (at your option) any later version. + % The latest version of this license is in + % http://www.latexproject.org/lppl.txt + % and version 1.2 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX + % version 1999/12/01 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. |
