Copyleft and the GPL: A Comprehensive Tutorial and Guide

http://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/compliance-guide.tex Since I am herein committing an Adaptation of this compliance-guide.tex work (this commit includes a one-line change made from the version as downloaded above), this is now an Adaptation as defined by CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported §1(a). I am thus hereby permitted, per CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported §4(b)(ii), to relicense this work under CC-By-SA-4.0, because CC-By-SA has the same License Elements as CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported. (Therefore, in this case, §4(b)(ii) defines the "Applicable License" as CC-By-SA-4.0.) Specifically, the following license text appears in compliance-guide.tex: Copyright \copyright{} 2008, Software Freedom Law Center. Licensed \href{http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/legalcode}{CC-BY-SA 3.0 unported}. Here are the actions I took to comply with CC-By-SA-3.0-Unported §4(b)(ii): §4(b)(I): Since the Applicable License is CC-By-SA-4.0, I've now included the URI and reference to the copy of CC-By-SA-4.0 in this repository as well. §4(b)(II): No additional conditions are imposed. §4(b)(III): This term is confusing. It claims I must "keep intact all notices that refer to the Applicable License". Of course, the Applicable License is now the new version of the license, so it seems reasonable to interpret this clause as to allow, and almost instruct, a change in reference to the 3.0 license to the 4.0 license. However, that's not explicitly allowed for in this section, but I can't come to any reasonable interpretation of the clause other than updating the notice to refer to the new license. §4(b)(IV): No technological measures are imposed. |
