Open Source and Free Documentation Licenses, Part 2: The Open Publication License (O'ReillyNet)

[Posted October 8, 2004 by ris]

O'ReillyNet looks at the Open Publication License. "The Open Publication license in its "standard" form (that is to say, without any of the additional restrictions that may be added, as described in more detail below), operates much like the aforementioned "academic" software licenses such as the BSD or the MIT licenses. The copyright for the licensed work, as with these academic licenses, remains with the original author and publisher, although virtually every exercise of rights under copyright law is freely permitted to licensees and there is no requirement that derivative works be licensed under the Open Publication license."
