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. |

<P> |
|
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 |

than these, except that you may require distributors to make the resulting |

document available in source format. |
