As a special exception, anthologies of LDP documents may include a

single copy of these license terms in a conspicuous location within the

anthology and replace other copies of this license with a reference

to the single copy of the license without the document being considered

"modified" for the purposes of this section.

Mere aggregation of LDP documents with other documents or programs on

the same media shall not cause this license to apply to those other works.

All translations, derivative documents, or modified documents that

incorporate any LDP document may not have more restrictive license terms

document available in source format.
