<P> Our authors have been especially prolific this month.
|
|
<STRONG>Fernando Correa</STRONG> contributed four articles,
|
|
<STRONG>Pat Eyler</STRONG> two, and <STRONG>Mark Nielsen</STRONG> two.
|
|
In addition, <STRONG>Shane Collinge</STRONG> contributed six HelpDex cartoons.

|
|
|
|
<P> <I>Linux Gazette</I> is now under the
|
|
<STRONG>Open Publication License</STRONG> (OPL)<BR>
|
|
(<A HREF="http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/">
|
|
http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/</A>).
|
|
This will not limit anyone's ability to distribute the
|
|
<I>Gazette</I> and its articles in the usual manner--via mirrors, LDP mirrors,
|
|
FTP files, commercial and non-commercial CD-ROMs, user-group newsletters,
|
|
xeroxed copies for your class, etc. We remain committed to allowing <I>LG</I>
|
|
to be distributed as widely as possible.
|
|
|
|
<P> The reason for this change is that we have been receiving a few articles
|
|
under the OPL. In some cases, the author has been willing to switch to the
|
|
traditional <I>LG</I> license. However, in two cases the author was under
|
|
contractual obligation with a publisher to release only under the OPL. We at
|
|
<I>LG</I> wish to use a single license as much as possible to make things
|
|
easier on our republishers. Therefore, because OPL is (1) compatible with the
|
|
traditional <I>Linux Gazette</I> license, (2) gaining respect
|
|
in the publishing world, and (3) more precise than the old license, we
|
|
decided to adopt it. This also affirms our support for the OPL and similar
|
|
licenses, and we hope they get used more widely.
|
|
|
|
<P> As always, each article is copyright by its author. If you copy an article,
|
|
you must include its copyright notice. A link back to
|
|
<STRONG>www.linuxgazette.com</STRONG> is requested but not required.
|
|
|
|
<P> As the OPL states, if you modify an article to the point that its meaning is
|
|
changed, you must clearly explain what you changed, who changed it, who the
|
|
original author was, and how to obtain a copy of the unmodified original.
|
|
|
|
<P> If you republish an article or a modified version, you may not impose
|
|
additional restrictions on its distribution.
|
|
|
|
<P> Note that the author, being the copyright <STRONG>holder</STRONG>, is not
|
|
bound by the license. S/he is free to republish the article, or allow it to be
|
|
republished, under any license s/he desires.
|
|
|
|
<P> <I>LG's</I> official copying statement is at
|
|
<A HREF="copying.html">http://www.linuxgazette.com/copying.html</A>.
|
|
In addition, the
|
|
<A HREF="faq/index.html#copying"><I>LG</I> FAQ</A> has been updated to reflect the
|
|
change.
