PREAMBLE. - -Copyright law gives certain exclusive rights to the author of a work, -including the rights to copy, modify and distribute the work (the -"reproductive," "adaptative," and "distribution" rights). - -The idea of "copyleft" is to willfully revoke the exclusivity of those -rights under certain terms and conditions, so that anyone can copy and -distribute the work or properly attributed derivative works, while all -copies remain under the same terms and conditions as the original. - -The intent of this license is to be a general "copyleft" that can be -applied to any kind of work that has protection under copyright. This -license states those certain conditions under which a work published -under its terms may be copied, distributed, and modified. - -Whereas "design science" is a strategy for the development of -artifacts as a way to reform the environment (not people) and -subsequently improve the universal standard of living, this Design -Science License was written and deployed as a strategy for promoting -the progress of science and art through reform of the environment. - -1. DEFINITIONS. - -"License" shall mean this Design Science License. The License applies -to any work which contains a notice placed by the work's copyright -holder stating that it is published under the terms of this Design -Science License. - -"Work" shall mean such an aforementioned work. The License also -applies to the output of the Work, only if said output constitutes a -"derivative work" of the licensed Work as defined by copyright law. - -"Object Form" shall mean an executable or performable form of the -Work, being an embodiment of the Work in some tangible medium. - -"Source Data" shall mean the origin of the Object Form, being the -entire, machine-readable, preferred form of the Work for copying and -for human modification (usually the language, encoding or format in -which composed or recorded by the Author); plus any accompanying -files, scripts or other data necessary for installation, configuration -or compilation of the Work. - -(Examples of "Source Data" include, but are not limited to, the -following: if the Work is an image file composed and edited in PNG -format, then the original PNG source file is the Source Data; if the -Work is an MPEG 1.0 layer 3 digital audio recording made from a WAV -format audio file recording of an analog source, then the original WAV -file is the Source Data; if the Work was composed as an unformatted -plaintext file, then that file is the Source Data; if the Work was -composed in LaTeX, the LaTeX file(s) and any image files and/or custom -macros necessary for compilation constitute the Source Data.) - -"Author" shall mean the copyright holder(s) of the Work. - -The individual licensees are referred to as "you." - -2.

This option is valid only if you are a non-commercial -party, and only if you received the Object Form of the Work along with -such an offer. - -You may copy and distribute the Work either gratis or for a fee, and -if desired, you may offer warranty protection for the Work. - -The aggregation of the Work with other works that are not based on the -Work -- such as but not limited to inclusion in a publication, -broadcast, compilation, or other media -- does not bring the other -works in the scope of the License; nor does such aggregation void the -terms of the License for the Work. - -4. MODIFICATION. - -Permission is granted to modify or sample from a copy of the Work, -producing a derivative work, and to distribute the derivative work -under the terms described in the section for distribution above, -provided that the following terms are met: - -(a) The new, derivative work is published under the terms of this -License. - -(b) The derivative work is given a new name, so that its name or title -cannot be confused with the Work, or with a version of the Work, in -any way. - -(c) Appropriate authorship credit is given: for the differences -between the Work and the new derivative work, authorship is attributed -to you, while the material sampled or used from the Work remains -attributed to the original Author; appropriate notice must be included -with the new work indicating the nature and the dates of any -modifications of the Work made by you. - -5.
