V. GOOD-PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS
|
|
|
|
In addition to the requirements of this license, it is requested from and stron
|
|
gly recommended of redistributors that:
|
|
|
|
1) If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you pr
|
|
ovide email notification to the authors of your intent to redistribute at least
|
|
thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze, to give the authors time t
|
|
o provide updated documents. This notification should describe modifications, i
|
|
f any, made to the document.
|
|
|
|
2) All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly marked
|
|
up in the document or else described in an attachment to the document.
|
|
|
|
Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered good fo
|
|
rm to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of an Open Public
|
|
ation-licensed work to its author(s).
|
|
|
|
VI. LICENSE OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
The author(s) and/or publisher of an Open Publication-licensed document may ele
|
|
ct certain options by appending language to the reference to or copy of the lic
|
|
ense. These options are considered part of the license instance and must be inc
|
|
luded with the license (or its incorporation by reference) in derived works.
|
|
|
|
A. To prohibit distribution of substantively modified versions without the expl
|
|
icit permission of the author(s). "Substantive modification" is defined as a ch
|
|
ange to the semantic content of the document, and excludes mere changes in form
|
|
at or typographical corrections.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this, add the phrase `Distribution of substantively modified vers
|
|
ions of this document is prohibited without the explicit permission of the copy
|
|
right holder.' to the license reference or copy.
|
|
|
|
B. To prohibit any publication of this work or derivative works in whole or in
|
|
part in standard (paper) book form for commercial purposes is prohibited unless
|
|
prior permission is obtained from the copyright holder.
|
|
|
|
To accomplish this, add the phrase 'Distribution of the work or derivative of t
|
|
he work in any standard (paper) book form is prohibited unless prior permission
|
|
is obtained from the copyright holder.' to the license reference or copy.
