PREAMBLE

-

========

-

 

-

The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) is the primary license under

-

which 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

-

it is written in such a way that you can use it 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' or in the case of files belonging to the

-

    `LaTeX-format' a program implementing the `TeX language'.

-

 

-

 

-

 

-

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 a different 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 it 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 2005 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 2005/12/01 or later.

-

  %

-

  % This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'.

-

  %

-

  % The 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.

-

 

-

Derived Works That Are Not Replacements

-

---------------------------------------

-

 

-

Several clauses of the LPPL specify means to provide reliability and

-

stability for the user community. They therefore concern themselves

-

with the case that a Derived Work is intended to be used as a

-

(compatible or incompatible) replacement of the original Work. If

-

this is not the case (e.g., if a few lines of code are reused for a

-

completely different task), then clauses 6b and 6d shall not apply.

-

 

-

 

-

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.

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. +
  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. +

    4. +
  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. +
  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. +
  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. +
      +
    1. 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.

    3. 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.
      4. +
    4. 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. +
      2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete, unmodified copy of the Work.
        3. +
      +
      5. +
    +
    7. +
  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. +
  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. +
  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. +
  10. +
      +
    1. 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.
      2. +
    2. If a Derived Work is distributed under a different 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.
      3. +
    +
    11. +
  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. +
  12. Nothing in this license is intended to, or may be used to, prevent complete compliance by all parties + with all applicable laws.
    13. +
+

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 it 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. +
  2. If this search is successful, then enquire whether the Work is still maintained. +
      +
    1. If it is being maintained, then ask the Current Maintainer to update their communication data + within one month.
      2. +
    2. 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.)
      3. +
    +
    3. +
  3. +
      +
    1. If the Current Maintainer is reachable and agrees to pass maintenance of the Work to you, then + this takes effect immediately upon announcement.
      2. +
    2. 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.
      3. +
    +
    4. +
  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. +
  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.
    6. +
+

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 2005 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 2005/12/01 or later.
+  %
+  % This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'.
+  %
+  % The 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.

+

Derived Works That Are Not Replacements

+

Several clauses of the LPPL specify means to provide reliability and stability for the user community. They + therefore concern themselves with the case that a Derived Work is intended to be used as a (compatible or + incompatible) replacement of the original Work. If this is not the case (e.g., if a few lines of code are + reused for a completely different task), then clauses 6b and 6d shall not apply.

+

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.
