LPPL Version 1.3  2003-12-01

Copyright 1999 2002-03 LaTeX3 Project
    Everyone is allowed to distribute verbatim copies of this
    license document, but modification of it is not allowed.


PREAMBLE
========

The LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) is the primary license under
which the the LaTeX kernel and the base LaTeX packages are distributed.

You may use this license for any work of which you hold the copyright
and which you 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 a work may be distributed
and modified, as well as conditions under which modified versions of
that work may be distributed.

We, the LaTeX3 Project, believe that the conditions below give you
the freedom to make and distribute modified versions of your work
that conform with whatever technical specifications you wish while
maintaining the availability, integrity, and reliability of
that 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:

   `Work'
    Any work being distributed under this License.
    
   `Derived Work'
    Any work that under any applicable law is derived from the Work.

   `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.

   `Modify'
    To apply any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any
    applicable law.
    
   `Distribution'
    Making copies of the Work available from one person to another, in
    whole or in part.  Distribution includes (but is not limited to)
    making any electronic components of the Work accessible by
    file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP or by shared file
    systems such as Sun's Network File System (NFS).

   `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 components of the Work, or
    other activities.  Note that modification of any installation
    facilities provided by the Work constitutes modification of the Work.

   `Current Maintainer'
    A person or persons nominated as such within the Work.  If there is
    no such explicit nomination then it is the `Copyright Holder' under
    any applicable law.

   `Base Interpreter' 
    A program or process that is normally needed for running or
    interpreting a part or the whole of the Work.    
    A Base Interpreter may depend on external components but these
    are not considered part of the Base Interpreter provided that each
    external component clearly identifies itself whenever it is used
    interactively.  Unless explicitly specified when applying the
    license to the Work, the only applicable Base Interpreter is a
    "LaTeX-Format".


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 and no
requirements are made concerning any offers of support for the Work.

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 generated from a
complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
directly from the Work.

4.  If you are the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may, without
restriction, modify the Work, thus creating a Derived Work.  You may
also distribute the Derived Work without restriction, including
Compiled Works generated from 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,
and compile this Derived Work, thus creating a Compiled Work based on
the Derived Work.

6.  If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
distribute a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met
for every component of the Work unless that component clearly states
in the copyright notice that it is exempt from that condition.  Only
the Current Maintainer is allowed to add such statements of exemption 
to a component of the Work. 

  a. If a component of this Derived Work can be a direct replacement
     for a component of the Work when that component is used with the
     Base Interpreter, then, wherever this component of the Work
     identifies itself to the user when used interactively with that
     Base Interpreter, the replacement component of this Derived Work
     clearly and unambiguously identifies itself as a modified version
     of this component to the user when used interactively with that
     Base Interpreter.
     
  b. Every component of the Derived Work contains prominent notices
     detailing the nature of the changes to that component, or a
     prominent reference to another file that is distributed as part
     of the Derived Work and that contains a complete and accurate log
     of the changes.
  
  c. No information in the Derived Work implies that any persons,
     including (but not limited to) the authors of the original version
     of the Work, provide any support, including (but not limited to)
     the reporting and handling of errors, to recipients of the
     Derived Work unless those persons have stated explicitly that
     they do provide such support for the Derived Work.

  d. You distribute at least one of the following with the Derived Work:

       1. A complete, unmodified copy of the Work; 
          if your distribution of a modified component is made by
          offering access to copy the modified component from a
          designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
          the Work from the same or some similar place meets this
          condition, even though third parties are not compelled to
          copy the Work along with the modified component;

       2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete, unmodified
          copy of the Work.

7.  If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
distribute a Compiled Work generated from a Derived Work, as long as
the Derived Work is distributed to all recipients of the Compiled
Work, and as long as the conditions of Clause 6, above, are met with
regard to the Derived Work.

8.  The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do
not apply to, the modification, by any method, of any component so that it
becomes identical to an  updated version of that component of the Work as
it is distributed by the Current Maintainer under Clause 4, above.

9.  Distribution of the Work or any Derived Work in an alternative
format, where the Work or that Derived Work (in whole or in part) is
then produced by applying some process to that format, does not relax or
nullify any sections of this license as they pertain to the results of
applying that process.
     
10. a. A Derived Work may be distributed under a different license
       provided that license itself honors the conditions listed in
       Clause 6 above, in regard to the Work, though it does not have
       to honor the rest of the conditions in this license.
      
    b. If a Derived Work is distributed under this license, that
       Derived Work must provide sufficient documentation as part of
       itself to allow each recipient of that Derived Work to honor the 
       restrictions in Clause 6 above, concerning changes from the Work.

11. 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.

12.  Nothing in this license is intended to, or may be used to, prevent
complete compliance by all parties with all applicable laws.


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 components 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 and prominently states near the primary copyright notice in
the Work that the Work can only be maintained by the Copyright Holder
or simply that is `author-maintained'.

The Work has the status `maintained' if there is a Current Maintainer
who has indicated in the Work that they are willing to receive error
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 these error reports.

The Work changes from status `maintained' to `unmaintained' if there
is no Current Maintainer, or the person stated to be Current
Maintainer of the work cannot be reached through the indicated means
of communication for a period of six months, and there are no other
significant signs of active maintenance.

You can become the Current Maintainer of the Work by agreement with
any existing Current Maintainer to take over this role.

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
     the Copyright Holder, if the two differ) through the means of
     an Internet or similar search.

 2.  If this search is successful, then enquire whether the Work
     is still maintained.

  a. If it is being maintained, then ask the Current Maintainer
     to update their communication data within one month.
     
  b. If the search is unsuccessful or no action to resume active
     maintenance is taken by the Current Maintainer, then announce
     within the pertinent community your intention to take over
     maintenance.  (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 the Copyright
     Holder agrees that maintenance of the Work be passed to you,
     then this takes effect immediately upon announcement.  
    
 4.  If you make an `intention announcement' as described in 2b. above
     and after three months your intention is challenged neither by
     the Current Maintainer nor by the Copyright Holder nor by other
     people, then you may arrange for the Work to be changed so as
     to name you as the (new) Current Maintainer.
     
 5.  If the previously unreachable Current Maintainer becomes
     reachable once more within three months of a change completed
     under the terms of 3b) or 4), then that Current Maintainer must
     become or remain the Current Maintainer upon request provided
     they then update their communication data within one month.

A change in the Current Maintainer does not, of itself, alter the fact
that the Work is distributed under the LPPL license.

If you become the Current Maintainer of the Work, you should
immediately provide, within the Work, a prominent and unambiguous
statement of your status as Current Maintainer.  You should also
announce your new status to the same pertinent community as
in 2b) above.


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 significantly 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.

A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution
-----------------------------------------------------

It is wise never to modify a component of the Work, even for your own
personal use, without also meeting the above conditions for
distributing the modified component.  While you might intend that such
modifications will never be distributed, often this will happen by
accident -- you may forget that you have modified that component; or
it may not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified
version that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions
of this license in ways that could have legal implications and, worse,
cause problems for the community.  It is therefore usually in your
best interest to keep your copy of the Work identical with the public
one.  Many works provide ways to control the behavior of that work
without altering any of its licensed components.

How to Use This License
-----------------------

To use this license, place in each of the components of your work both
an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year the work
was authored and/or last substantially modified.  Include also a
statement that the distribution and/or modification of that
component 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 2003/12/01 or later.
  %
  % This work has the LPPL maintenance status "maintained".
  % 
  % This Current Maintainer of this work is M. Y. Name.
  %
  % 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' (the last being
generated from `pig.dtx' using `pig.ins'), the `Base Interpreter'
referring to any "LaTeX-Format", and both `Copyright Holder' and
`Current Maintainer' referring to the person `M. Y. Name'.

To prevent the Maintenance section of LPPL from allowing someone else
to become the Current Maintainer without your agreement, you could
change "maintained" above into "author-maintained".


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 such as:

    % 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 and, in such a case, the licensee would be
   entitled to make reasonable conjectures as to which files comprise
   the Work.

41	DEFINITIONS
42	===========
43
44	In this license document the following terms are used:
45
46	`Work'
47	Any work being distributed under this License.
48
49	`Derived Work'
50	Any work that under any applicable law is derived from the Work.
51
52	`Modification'
53	Any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any applicable
54	law -- for example, the production of a file containing an
55	original file associated with the Work or a significant portion of
56	such a file, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
57	translated into another language.
58
59	`Modify'
60	To apply any procedure that produces a Derived Work under any
61	applicable law.
62
63	`Distribution'
64	Making copies of the Work available from one person to another, in
65	whole or in part. Distribution includes (but is not limited to)
66	making any electronic components of the Work accessible by
67	file transfer protocols such as FTP or HTTP or by shared file
68	systems such as Sun's Network File System (NFS).
69
70	`Compiled Work'
71	A version of the Work that has been processed into a form where it
72	is directly usable on a computer system. This processing may
73	include using installation facilities provided by the Work,
74	transformations of the Work, copying of components of the Work, or
75	other activities. Note that modification of any installation
76	facilities provided by the Work constitutes modification of the Work.
77
78	`Current Maintainer'
79	A person or persons nominated as such within the Work. If there is
80	no such explicit nomination then it is the `Copyright Holder' under
81	any applicable law.
82
83	`Base Interpreter'
84	A program or process that is normally needed for running or
85	interpreting a part or the whole of the Work.
86	A Base Interpreter may depend on external components but these
87	are not considered part of the Base Interpreter provided that each
88	external component clearly identifies itself whenever it is used
89	interactively. Unless explicitly specified when applying the
90	license to the Work, the only applicable Base Interpreter is a
91	"LaTeX-Format".
92
93
94
95	CONDITIONS ON DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
96	===========================================
97
98	1. Activities other than distribution and/or modification of the Work
99	are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope. In
100	particular, the act of running the Work is not restricted and no
101	requirements are made concerning any offers of support for the Work.
102
103	2. You may distribute a complete, unmodified copy of the Work as you
104	received it. Distribution of only part of the Work is considered
105	modification of the Work, and no right to distribute such a Derived
106	Work may be assumed under the terms of this clause.
107
108	3. You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
109	complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
110	above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
111	the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
112	as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
113	directly from the Work.
114
115	4. If you are the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may, without
116	restriction, modify the Work, thus creating a Derived Work. You may
117	also distribute the Derived Work without restriction, including
118	Compiled Works generated from the Derived Work. Derived Works
119	distributed in this manner by the Current Maintainer are considered to
120	be updated versions of the Work.
121
122	5. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may modify
123	your copy of the Work, thus creating a Derived Work based on the Work,
124	and compile this Derived Work, thus creating a Compiled Work based on
125	the Derived Work.
126
127	6. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
128	distribute a Derived Work provided the following conditions are met
129	for every component of the Work unless that component clearly states
130	in the copyright notice that it is exempt from that condition. Only
131	the Current Maintainer is allowed to add such statements of exemption
132	to a component of the Work.
133
134	a. If a component of this Derived Work can be a direct replacement
135	for a component of the Work when that component is used with the
136	Base Interpreter, then, wherever this component of the Work
137	identifies itself to the user when used interactively with that
138	Base Interpreter, the replacement component of this Derived Work
139	clearly and unambiguously identifies itself as a modified version
140	of this component to the user when used interactively with that
141	Base Interpreter.
142
143	b. Every component of the Derived Work contains prominent notices
144	detailing the nature of the changes to that component, or a
145	prominent reference to another file that is distributed as part
146	of the Derived Work and that contains a complete and accurate log
147	of the changes.
148
149	c. No information in the Derived Work implies that any persons,
150	including (but not limited to) the authors of the original version
151	of the Work, provide any support, including (but not limited to)
152	the reporting and handling of errors, to recipients of the
153	Derived Work unless those persons have stated explicitly that
154	they do provide such support for the Derived Work.
155
156	d. You distribute at least one of the following with the Derived Work:
157
158	1. A complete, unmodified copy of the Work;
159	if your distribution of a modified component is made by
160	offering access to copy the modified component from a
161	designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
162	the Work from the same or some similar place meets this
163	condition, even though third parties are not compelled to
164	copy the Work along with the modified component;
165
166	2. Information that is sufficient to obtain a complete, unmodified
167	copy of the Work.
168
169	7. If you are not the Current Maintainer of the Work, you may
170	distribute a Compiled Work generated from a Derived Work, as long as
171	the Derived Work is distributed to all recipients of the Compiled
172	Work, and as long as the conditions of Clause 6, above, are met with
173	regard to the Derived Work.
174
175	8. The conditions above are not intended to prohibit, and hence do
176	not apply to, the modification, by any method, of any component so that it
177	becomes identical to an updated version of that component of the Work as
178	it is distributed by the Current Maintainer under Clause 4, above.
179
180	9. Distribution of the Work or any Derived Work in an alternative
181	format, where the Work or that Derived Work (in whole or in part) is
182	then produced by applying some process to that format, does not relax or
183	nullify any sections of this license as they pertain to the results of
184	applying that process.
185
186	10. a. A Derived Work may be distributed under a different license
187	provided that license itself honors the conditions listed in
188	Clause 6 above, in regard to the Work, though it does not have
189	to honor the rest of the conditions in this license.
190
191	b. If a Derived Work is distributed under this license, that
192	Derived Work must provide sufficient documentation as part of
193	itself to allow each recipient of that Derived Work to honor the
194	restrictions in Clause 6 above, concerning changes from the Work.
195
196	11. This license places no restrictions on works that are unrelated to
197	the Work, nor does this license place any restrictions on aggregating
198	such works with the Work by any means.
199
200	12. Nothing in this license is intended to, or may be used to, prevent
201	complete compliance by all parties with all applicable laws.
202
203
204	NO WARRANTY
205	===========
206
207	There is no warranty for the Work. Except when otherwise stated in
208	writing, the Copyright Holder provides the Work `as is', without
209	warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not
210	limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for
211	a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance
212	of the Work is with you. Should the Work prove defective, you
213	assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair, or correction.
214
215	In no event unless agreed to in writing will the Copyright Holder, or
216	any author named in the components of the Work, or any other party who
217	may distribute and/or modify the Work as permitted above, be liable to
218	you for damages, including any general, special, incidental or
219	consequential damages arising out of any use of the Work or out of
220	inability to use the Work (including, but not limited to, loss of
221	data, data being rendered inaccurate, or losses sustained by anyone as
222	a result of any failure of the Work to operate with any other
223	programs), even if the Copyright Holder or said author or said other
224	party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
225
226
227	MAINTENANCE OF THE WORK
228	=======================
229
230	The Work has the status `author-maintained' if the Copyright Holder
231	explicitly and prominently states near the primary copyright notice in
232	the Work that the Work can only be maintained by the Copyright Holder
233	or simply that is `author-maintained'.
234
235	The Work has the status `maintained' if there is a Current Maintainer
236	who has indicated in the Work that they are willing to receive error
237	reports for the Work (for example, by supplying a valid e-mail
238	address). It is not required for the Current Maintainer to acknowledge
239	or act upon these error reports.
240
241	The Work changes from status `maintained' to `unmaintained' if there
242	is no Current Maintainer, or the person stated to be Current
243	Maintainer of the work cannot be reached through the indicated means
244	of communication for a period of six months, and there are no other
245	significant signs of active maintenance.
246
247	You can become the Current Maintainer of the Work by agreement with
248	any existing Current Maintainer to take over this role.
249
250	If the Work is unmaintained, you can become the Current Maintainer of
251	the Work through the following steps:
252
253	1. Make a reasonable attempt to trace the Current Maintainer (and
254	the Copyright Holder, if the two differ) through the means of
255	an Internet or similar search.
256
257	2. If this search is successful, then enquire whether the Work
258	is still maintained.
259
260	a. If it is being maintained, then ask the Current Maintainer
261	to update their communication data within one month.
262
263	b. If the search is unsuccessful or no action to resume active
264	maintenance is taken by the Current Maintainer, then announce
265	within the pertinent community your intention to take over
266	maintenance. (If the Work is a LaTeX work, this could be
267	done, for example, by posting to comp.text.tex.)
268
269	3a. If the Current Maintainer is reachable and agrees to pass
270	maintenance of the Work to you, then this takes effect
271	immediately upon announcement.
272
273	b. If the Current Maintainer is not reachable and the Copyright
274	Holder agrees that maintenance of the Work be passed to you,
275	then this takes effect immediately upon announcement.
276
277	4. If you make an `intention announcement' as described in 2b. above
278	and after three months your intention is challenged neither by
279	the Current Maintainer nor by the Copyright Holder nor by other
280	people, then you may arrange for the Work to be changed so as
281	to name you as the (new) Current Maintainer.
282
283	5. If the previously unreachable Current Maintainer becomes
284	reachable once more within three months of a change completed
285	under the terms of 3b) or 4), then that Current Maintainer must
286	become or remain the Current Maintainer upon request provided
287	they then update their communication data within one month.
288
289	A change in the Current Maintainer does not, of itself, alter the fact
290	that the Work is distributed under the LPPL license.
291
292	If you become the Current Maintainer of the Work, you should
293	immediately provide, within the Work, a prominent and unambiguous
294	statement of your status as Current Maintainer. You should also
295	announce your new status to the same pertinent community as
296	in 2b) above.

299	WHETHER AND HOW TO DISTRIBUTE WORKS UNDER THIS LICENSE
300	======================================================
301
302	This section contains important instructions, examples, and
303	recommendations for authors who are considering distributing their
304	works under this license. These authors are addressed as `you' in
305	this section.
306
307	Choosing This License or Another License
308	----------------------------------------
309
310	If for any part of your work you want or need to use distribution
311	conditions that differ significantly from those in this license, then
312	do not refer to this license anywhere in your work but, instead,
313	distribute your work under a different license. You may use the text
314	of this license as a model for your own license, but your license
315	should not refer to the LPPL or otherwise give the impression that
316	your work is distributed under the LPPL.
317
318	The document `modguide.tex' in the base LaTeX distribution explains
319	the motivation behind the conditions of this license. It explains,
320	for example, why distributing LaTeX under the GNU General Public
321	License (GPL) was considered inappropriate. Even if your work is
322	unrelated to LaTeX, the discussion in `modguide.tex' may still be
323	relevant, and authors intending to distribute their works under any
324	license are encouraged to read it.
325
326	A Recommendation on Modification Without Distribution
327	-----------------------------------------------------
328
329	It is wise never to modify a component of the Work, even for your own
330	personal use, without also meeting the above conditions for
331	distributing the modified component. While you might intend that such
332	modifications will never be distributed, often this will happen by
333	accident -- you may forget that you have modified that component; or
334	it may not occur to you when allowing others to access the modified
335	version that you are thus distributing it and violating the conditions
336	of this license in ways that could have legal implications and, worse,
337	cause problems for the community. It is therefore usually in your
338	best interest to keep your copy of the Work identical with the public
339	one. Many works provide ways to control the behavior of that work
340	without altering any of its licensed components.
341
342	How to Use This License
343	-----------------------
344
345	To use this license, place in each of the components of your work both
346	an explicit copyright notice including your name and the year the work
347	was authored and/or last substantially modified. Include also a
348	statement that the distribution and/or modification of that
349	component is constrained by the conditions in this license.
350
351	Here is an example of such a notice and statement:
352
353	%% pig.dtx
354	%% Copyright 2003 M. Y. Name
355	%
356	% This work may be distributed and/or modified under the
357	% conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3
358	% of this license or (at your option) any later version.
359	% The latest version of this license is in
360	% http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
361	% and version 1.3 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX
362	% version 2003/12/01 or later.
363	%
364	% This work has the LPPL maintenance status "maintained".
365	%
366	% This Current Maintainer of this work is M. Y. Name.
367	%
368	% This work consists of the files pig.dtx and pig.ins
369	% and the derived file pig.sty.
370
371	Given such a notice and statement in a file, the conditions
372	given in this license document would apply, with the `Work' referring
373	to the three files `pig.dtx', `pig.ins', and `pig.sty' (the last being
374	generated from `pig.dtx' using `pig.ins'), the `Base Interpreter'
375	referring to any "LaTeX-Format", and both `Copyright Holder' and
376	`Current Maintainer' referring to the person `M. Y. Name'.
377
378	To prevent the Maintenance section of LPPL from allowing someone else
379	to become the Current Maintainer without your agreement, you could
380	change "maintained" above into "author-maintained".
381
382
383	Important Recommendations
384	-------------------------
385
386	Defining What Constitutes the Work
387
388	The LPPL requires that distributions of the Work contain all the
389	files of the Work. It is therefore important that you provide a
390	way for the licensee to determine which files constitute the Work.
391	This could, for example, be achieved by explicitly listing all the
392	files of the Work near the copyright notice of each file or by
393	using a line such as:
394
395	% This work consists of all files listed in manifest.txt.
396
397	in that place. In the absence of an unequivocal list it might be
398	impossible for the licensee to determine what is considered by you
399	to comprise the Work and, in such a case, the licensee would be
400	entitled to make reasonable conjectures as to which files comprise
401	the Work.
