OpenContent License (OPL) [ SIC!!, please abbreviate it OCL to avoid confusion with the real 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.
The original version of this document may be found at http://opencontent.org/opl.shtml
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.
