OpenContent License (OPL) Version 1.0, July 14. 1998
|
|
|
|
This document outlines the principles underlying the OpenContent (OC)
|
|
movement and may be redistributed provided it remains unaltered. For
|
|
legal purposes, this document is the license under which OpenContent is
|
|
made available for use.

LICENSE
|
|
|
|
Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distributing, and Modifying
|
|
|
|
Items other than copying, distributing, and modifying the Content with
|
|
which this license was distributed (such as using, etc.) are outside
|
|
the scope of this license.
|
|
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute exact replicas of the OpenContent (OC)
|
|
as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
|
|
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
|
|
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
|
|
of the OC a copy of this License along with the OC. You may at your
|
|
option charge a fee for the media and/or handling involved in creating
|
|
a unique copy of the OC for use offline, you may at your option offer
|
|
instructional support for the OC in exchange for a fee, or you may at
|
|
your option offer warranty in exchange for a fee. You may not charge a
|
|
fee for the OC itself. You may not charge a fee for the sole service
|
|
of providing access to and/or use of the OC via a network (e.g. the
|
|
Internet), whether it be via the world wide web, FTP, or any other method.
|
|
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the OpenContent or any portion
|
|
of it, thus forming works based on the Content, and distribute such
|
|
modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
|
|
you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) You must cause the modified content to carry prominent notices stating
|
|
that you changed it, the exact nature and content of the changes, and
|
|
the date of any change.
|
|
|
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
|
|
or in part contains or is derived from the OC or any part thereof, to
|
|
be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
|
|
of this License, unless otherwise permitted under applicable Fair Use law.
|
|
|
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
|
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the OC, and can
|
|
be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves,
|
|
then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when
|
|
you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the
|
|
same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the OC,
|
|
the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
|
|
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and
|
|
thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Exceptions are
|
|
made to this requirement to release modified works free of charge under
|
|
this license only in compliance with Fair Use law where applicable.
|
|
|
|
3. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
|
|
it. However, nothing else grants you permission to copy, distribute or
|
|
modify the OC. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept
|
|
this License. Therefore, by distributing or translating the OC, or by
|
|
deriving works herefrom, you indicate your acceptance of this License
|
|
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or
|
|
translating the OC.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY
|
|
|
|
4. BECAUSE THE OPENCONTENT (OC) IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|
WARRANTY FOR THE OC, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
|
|
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
|
|
PARTIES PROVIDE THE OC "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 OF USE OF THE OC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE OC PROVE FAULTY,
|
|
INACCURATE, OR OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
|
|
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
5. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MIRROR AND/OR
|
|
REDISTRIBUTE THE OC AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
|
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE OC, EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
|
|
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
