Any reference to "The Program" in the license -refers to TeXsis and its associated files. A list of the files -covered by the LPPL is provided in the file called MANIFEST. - - Note that TeXsis is based on Plain TeX, not LaTeX, and so the rules -for naming files with the extensions .ins, .fd, and .cfg do not apply. -The only special extension used by TeXsis is .txs for style files, and -these should be treated the same as the other TeXsis source files -unless a statement in that file says otherwise. - - -COPYRIGHT -========= - -Unless specified otherwise in individual files, TeXsis is Copyright -1987 1988 1989 1990 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000, 2001 by -Eric Myers and Frank E. Paige. Other copyrights exist and are noted -in the individual files that are affected. - - -HISTORY -======= - -Prior to TeXsis version 2.18 the source code to TeXsis was covered by a -simple copyright declaration and a statement that permission was granted -to use the software by any member the academic community in conjunction -with basic research, but that the software could not be used or -distributed for profit without permission. This was sufficient in the -1980's when TeXsis was being developed specifically for physics -researchers, but by the end of the 1990's the issues surrounding software -licensing had become more developed and we decided that we needed a more -explicit licensing statement and something a bit more open than just -"academic use only". - - We originally considered the GNU Public License (GPL) and the -"Lesser" or "Library" version of that license (the LGPL), as well as -the BSD License, the "Artistic" License, and in fact we looked at most -of the licences approved by the Open Source Initiative (see -http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ ). We also considered writing our -own custom licensing statement, but we eventually decided against -this. We felt that it was important to choose a well-known license so -that users would know the basic terms of the license without having to -read all the details. In the end we found that the LaTeX Project -Public Licence (LPPL) suited the needs and the spirit of TeXsis most -closely, and so versions 2.18 of TeXsis and beyond are covered by the -LPPL, which is reproduced below or can be obtained from the TeXsis -website. - - Please note that the LPPL only applies to the TeXsis source code and -code derived from it, but it does not apply to TeXsis style files (or -other files) which were written independently without using TeXsis -source code. We hope that the authors of style files will choose to -follow our lead and license their works under the LPPL, but they are -free to choose whatever license they deem appropriate. Note also that -under the terms of the LPPL it is possible to add further restrictions -to a file, as long as they are consistent with the "Conditions on -individual files" section of the LPPL (see below). - - TeXsis has always been an "Open Source" project, and so we chose the -LPPL as the best way to make TeXsis freely available to everyone but -protect it from the possible corruption of propagating different -versions of similar files. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - -LaTeX Project Public License -============================ - -LPPL Version 1.0 1999-03-01 - -Copyright 1999 LaTeX3 Project - Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies - of this license document, but modification is not allowed. - - -Preamble -======== - -The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) is the license under which the -base LaTeX distribution is distributed. 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. - - - -The LaTeX Project Public License -================================ -Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification -=============================================================== - - -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". - - * 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 -non-standard 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. |
