As described below you may use +this licence for any software that you wish to distribute. + +It may be particularly suitable if your software is TEX related (such +as a LATEX package file) but it may be used for any software, even if +it is unrelated to TEX. + +To use this license, the files of your distribution should have an +explicit copyright notice giving your name and the year, together with +a reference to this license. + +A typical example would be + + %% pig.sty + %% Copyright 2001 M. Y. Name + + % This program can redistributed and/or modified under the terms + % of the LaTeX Project Public License Distributed from CTAN + % archives in directory macros/latex/base/lppl.txt; either + % version 1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + +Given such a notice in the file, the conditions of this document would +apply, with: + * “The Program” referring to the software “pig.sty” and + * “The Copyright Holder” referring to the person “M. Y. Name”. + +To see a real example, see the file legal.txt which carries the +copyright notice for the base latex distribution. + +This license gives terms under which files of The Program may be +distributed and modified. Individual files may have specific further +constraints on modification, but no file should have restrictions on +distribution other than those specified below. This is to ensure that +a distributor wishing to distribute a complete unmodified copy of The +Program need only check the conditions in this file, and does not need +to check every file in The Program for extra restrictions. If you do +need to modify the distribution terms of some files, do not refer to +this license, instead distribute The Program under a different +license. You may use the parts of the text of LPPL as a model for your +own license, but your license should not directly refer to the LPPL or +otherwise give the impression that The Program is distributed under +the LPPL. + +WARRANTY + +There is no warranty for The Program, to the extent permitted by +applicable law. 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 required by applicable law or agreed to in writing +will The Copyright Holder, or any of the individual authors named in +the source for The Program, 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 or data being rendered +inaccurate or losses sustained by you or by third parties as a result +of a failure of The Program to operate with any other programs), even +if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of +such damages. + +DISTRIBUTION + +Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files +that make up the distribution of The Program are distributed. In +particular this means that The Program has to be distributed including +its documentation if documentation was part of the original +distribution. + +The distribution of The Program will contain a prominent file listing +all the files covered by this license. + +If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain! + +The distribution of changed versions of certain files included in the +The Program, and the reuse of code from The Program, are allowed under +the following restrictions: + +It is allowed only if the legal notice in the file does not expressly +forbid it. See note below, under “Conditions on individual +files&lrquo;. + +You rename the file before you make any changes to it, unless the file +explicitly says that renaming is not required. Any such changed files +must be distributed under a license that forbids distribution of those +files, and any files derived from them, under the names used by the +original files in the distribution of The Program. + +You change any “identification string” in The Program to clearly +indicate that the file is not part of the standard system. + +If The Program includes an “error report address” so that errors may +be reported to The Copyright Holder, or other specified addresses, +this address must be changed in any modified versions of The Program, +so that reports for files not maintained by the original program +maintainers are directed to the maintainers of the changed files. + +You acknowledge the source and authorship of the original version in +the modified file. + +You also distribute the unmodified version of the file or +alternatively provide sufficient information so that the user of your +modified file can be reasonably expected to be able to obtain an +original, unmodified copy of The Program. For example, you may specify +a URL to a site that you expect will freely provide the user with a +copy of The Program (either the version on which your modification is +based, or perhaps a later version). + +If The Program is intended to be used with, or is based on, LATEX, +then files with the following file extensions which have special +meaning in LATEX Software, have special modification rules under the +license: + +Files with extension “.ins” (installation files): these files may not +be modified at all because they contain the legal notices that are +placed in the generated files. + +Files with extension “.fd” (LATEX font definitions files): these files +are allowed to be modified without changing the name, but only to +enable use of all available fonts and to prevent attempts to access +unavailable fonts. However, modified files are not allowed to be +distributed in place of original files. + +Files with extension “.cfg” (configuration files): these files can be +created or modified to enable easy configuration of the system. The +documentation in cfgguide.tex in the base LATEX distribution +describes when it makes sense to modify or generate such files. + +The above restrictions 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 in The Program. + +NOTES + +We believe that these requirements give you the freedom you to make +modifications that conform with whatever technical specifications you +wish, whilst maintaining the availability, integrity and reliability +of The Program. If you do not see how to achieve your goal whilst +adhering to these requirements then read the document cfgguide.tex in +the base LATEX distribution for suggestions. + +Because of the portability and exchangeability aspects of systems like +LATEX, The LATEX3 Project deprecates the distribution of nonstandard +versions of components of LATEX or of generally available contributed +code for them but such distributions are permitted under the above +restrictions. + +The document modguide.tex in the base LATEX distribution details the +reasons for the legal requirements detailed above. Even if The Program +is unrelated to LATEX, the argument in modguide.tex may still apply, +and should be read before a modified version of The Program is +distributed. + +Conditions on individual files + +The individual files may bear additional conditions which supersede +the general conditions on distribution and modification contained in +this file. If there are any such files, the distribution of The +Program will contain a prominent file that lists all the exceptional +files. + +Typical examples of files with more restrictive modification +conditions would be files that contain the text of copyright notices. + +The conditions on individual files differ only in the extent of +modification that is allowed. + +The conditions on distribution are the same for all the files. Thus a +(re)distributor of a complete, unchanged copy of The Program need meet +only the conditions in this file; it is not necessary to check the +header of every file in the distribution to check that a distribution +meets these requirements. + |
