The Web Template Output Additional Permission for AGPLv3

Browse source 
This is the first draft of the Web Template Output Additional Permission for
AGPLv3.  The goal is to create an additional permission that will allow an
otherwise AGPLv3'd work to output HTML, Javascript and CSS that is under
different licenses.

The Web Template Output Additional Permission, Version 0.2
This Web Template Output Additional Permission ("Additional Permission") is
an additional permission under section 7 of the GNU Affero General Public
License, version 3 ("AGPLv3"). It applies to all GPLv3'd material included
in a repository where this Additional Permission appears in a file called
LICENSE.ADDITIONAL-PERMISSION at the top directory of the repository ("the
Package").
When you use this Package in the normal manner to create a website, the
Package generates HTML, Javascript, and CSS files which are deployed to
create a website. These files are considered "Output" of the Package,
provided that the Package is used in an ordinary and customary way to create
a website that contains HTML, CSS and Javascript.
1. GRANT OF ADDITIONAL PERMISSION
You have permission to propagate specific works of Output under terms more
lax than AGPLv3, as outlined in this section. All HTML Output may be
propagated, modified, and/or redistributed under the terms of the Creative
Commons Public Domain Dedication 1.0 ("CC0 1.0"). All CSS and Javscript
Output may be propagated, modified, and/or redistributed under the terms of
the GNU Lesser General Public License Version 3 ("LGPLv3") or any later
version of that license as published by the Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1. REVOCATION OF ADDITIONAL PERMISSION FOR UNCUSTOMARY MODIFICATIONS
If you modify the Package to output HTML, Javascript and/or CSS that
attempts to copy works from the Package that would otherwise not qualify for
this additional permission as written, the Additional Permission is revoked
and the license of such uncustomary modified HTML, Javascript or CSS shall
remain AGPLv3 without additional permission.
The intent of this clause is to assure that downstream modifiers do not
cause the additional permission to apply to works that are not customarily
in HTML, Javascript, or CSS form. For example, modifying the Package to
copy server-side python code into the HTML output is a modification not
eligible for the Additional Permission.
2. NO WEAKENING OF COPYLEFT.
The availability of this Additional Permission does not imply any general
presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
requirements of the AGPLv3 license of this Package.
