Activities other than distribution and/or modification of the Work >are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope.

You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you >received it.

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.

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.

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.

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 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. >
