Things appear to have been quiet, which I'm taking as a good sign. So, I've read over the thread, gathered the areas of apparent consensus, and changed the license.
At some point, we have to be happy with what we have or declare defeat. It's my understanding that the changes in this draft will allow us all to be happy, or at least not terribly upset. Or, I could completely screw up, in which case you're all justified in whacking me with a wet noodle. (Except for Branden, since he's the most likely to actually be in a position to do it. :-) I don't mean to be pushy, but I'd appreciate it if all the interested parties would indicate their assent on the list if they could (unless, of course, you're indicating your dissent). That would help ensure that we actually had consensus instead of just apathy. Changes: - 5.a.2. That's the Clause of Contention, so read it carefully. I seem to have at least some consensus on it, judging from the feedback so far; its provenance can be seen in this message and the follow-ups: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200304/msg00115.html - 10. The recommended change by Joe Moore, as approved by Frank Mittelbach. Relicensing is limited to Derived Works. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200304/msg00062.html Possible issues to think about: - 5b. Mark, you were nervous about this, but I don't see an alternative or clarification in the discussion. Are you satisfied, or is there still some work to do? http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200304/msg00028.html - Does LaTeX need a clarification statement to 5.a.2 in the commentary at the end of the license? I tried to write something, and got stuck in the details; I'm afraid I might not be the best person to write it. The LaTeX Project Public License =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- LPPL Version 1.3-draft-jal-fmi-dlegal 2003-04-12 Copyright 1999,2002,2003 LaTeX3 Project Everyone is allowed to distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but modification of it is limited as mentioned below under `Choosing This License or Another License'. [[ jal: If you use this license or any part of it, I will assign copyright for my portions of this license to the LaTeX Project. I will provide any assurances to this fact you need upon request. ]] PREAMBLE ======== The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) is the license under which the base LaTeX packages are distributed. The LaTeX kernel is distributed under a similar license called LPPL-kernel. You may use this license for any work that you have written and wish to distribute. This license may be particularly suitable if your work is TeX-related (such as a LaTeX package), but you may use it with small modifications 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 The Work may be distributed and modified, as well as conditions under which modified versions of The Work may be distributed. We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of The Work that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of The 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: `The Work' Any work being distributed under this License. `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 files in The Work, or other activities. Note that modification of any installation facilities provided by The Work constitutes modification of The Work. `Derived Work' Any work that under any applicable law is derived from The Work. `Filename' The name of an operating system file containing part or all of The Work. `Current Maintainer' The person or persons who are allowed to maintain The Work. If no Current Maintainer has been explicitly mentioned within The Work's sources, then Current Maintainer refers to the Copyright Holder. `The Base Format' A Compiled Work that is available and ready for the user to invoke for running The Work (running = interpreting The Work). It may depend on Separate Runtime Components for invocation. If not explicitly specified as part of the license notice, the Base Format for The Work under this license is the "LaTeX-Format". `Separate Runtime Components' External components needed together with The Base Format to run The Work. A Separate Runtime Component is not considered part of the Base Format provided it clearly so identifies itself whenever it is used. `Distribution' Making copies of The Work available from one machine to another, in whole or in part. Distribution includes (but is not limited to) making any files associated with The Work accessible by file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP or by sharing file systems such as Sun's Network File System (NFS). `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. 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. 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 compiled from a complete, unmodified copy of The Work as distributed under Clause 2 above, as long as the Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that the recipients may use it to install the Compiled Work on their system exactly as it would have been installed by compiling The Work themselves. 4. If you are the Current Maintainer of The Work, you may modify The Work, creating a Derived Work, without restriction. You may also distribute the Derived Work without restriction, including Compiled Works based on 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, as long as the following conditions are met: a. You must ensure that each modified file of the Derived Work is clearly distinguished from the original file. This must be achieved by causing each such modified file to carry prominent notices detailing the nature of the changes, and by ensuring that at least one of the following additional conditions is met: 1. The modified file is distributed with a different Filename than the original file. 2. The entire Derived Work, including the Base Format, does not identify itself as the original, unmodified Work to the user in any way when run. 3. The license notice for The Work specifies that the file may be modified without renaming, or the license notice for the Base Format specifies that files of this class (for example, files that are named a certain way) may be modified without renaming. b. You must change any identification string in any modified file of the Derived Work to indicate clearly that the modified file is not part of The Work in its original form. c. In every file of the Derived Work you must ensure that any addresses for the reporting of errors do not refer to the Current Maintainer's addresses in any way. 6. If you are not the Current Maintainer of The Work, you may generate a Compiled Work that has been compiled from a Derived Work modified in conformance with the conditions of section 5, above. 7. If you are not the Current Maintainer of The Work, you may distribute a Derived Work modified in conformance with the provisions of Clause 5 above, or a Compiled Work compiled from a Derived Work in conformance with the provisions of Clause 6 above, as long as both the following conditions are met: a. The license you use to distribute the Derived Work must itself honor the conditions listed in 5a, above, in regard to the original Work, though it does not have to honor the rest of the conditions in this license. b. You must distribute one of the following with the Derived Work: 1. A copy of The Work (that is, a complete, unmodified copy of The Work) 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 Work from the same place meets this condition, even though third parties are not compelled to copy The Work along with the modified file; 2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a copy of The Work; for example, you may provide a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for a site that you expect will provide them with a copy of The Work free of charge (either the version from which your modification is derived, or perhaps a later version). 8.a. Distribution of The Work or any Derived Work in a packed format, where The Work or that Derived Work(in whole or in part) is generated by running some other program on that packed format, does not relax or nullify any sections of this license as they pertain to the files that are unpacked from the packed format. b. Note that 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. 9. 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 a later version of that file of The Work as it is distributed by the Current Maintainer under Clause 4, above. 10. A Derived Work may be distributed under a different license, as long as that license honors the conditions in Clause 7a, above. 11. If any Derived Work is distributed under this license, that Derived Work must provide sufficient documentation as part of the itself to allow all recipients of that Derived Work to honor the restrictions in Clause 5a, above, concerning changes from the original version of The Work. 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 agreed to in writing will The Copyright Holder, or any author named in the files 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 states that The Work can only be maintained by the Copyright Holder. The Work has the status `maintained' if the Current Maintainer has made provisions to receive bug 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 bug reports. The Work changes from status `maintained' to `unmaintained' if the Current Maintainer of the work cannot be reached through the provided means of communication for a period of six months and there are no other signs of active maintenance. 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 Copyright Holder, if the two differ) through the means of Internet Search, etc. 2. If this search is successful, inquire whether The Work is still maintained. a. If it is being maintained, ask the Current Maintainer to update the communication data. b. Otherwise, announce your intention to take over maintenance within the pertinent community. (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 if after three months your intention is challenged neither by the Current Maintainer nor by other people, then you may arrange for a change of The Work to name you as the (new) Current Maintainer. 4. If the previously unreachable Current Maintainer returns within six months, that Current Maintainer must become or remain the Current Maintainer upon request. A change in the Current Maintainer does not alter the fact that The Work is distributed under the LPPL license. 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 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. How to Use This License ----------------------- To use this license, place in each of the files of your work 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 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 2003/06/01 or later. % % For interpretation of the LPPL the Base Format for this work % is the "LaTeX-Format". % % This work has the LPPL maintenance status "maintained". % % 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' (generated from `pig.dtx' using `pig.ins'), the `Base Format' referring to `LaTeX-Format', and `The Copyright Holder' referring to the person `M. Y. Name'. To prevent the Maintenance section of LPPL to apply, you could change "maintained" above into "author-maintained". Or if you seek for somebody to take over maintenance you may change that to "unmaintained". 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 like % 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. -- Jeff Licquia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
