Digital Peer Publishing Licence (v3, en)
HTML Version of the DPPL (Version 3, English)
Version 3.0 – November 2008
Copyright © 2004-2008 Ministerium für Innovation, Wissenschaft, Forschung und Technologie des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen (Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology, State of North-Rhine Westphalia)
The Internet has caused profound changes in the conditions of academic activities. Vast numbers of documents are available via publicly accessible websites. Traditional academic and scientific media such as academic journals and publications in book form are being complemented or even replaced by electronic versions. At the same time, researchers and scientists pass on their sources of all kinds by means of individual communication in data networks. This process is expressly supported by the leading German research organisations in the Berlin Declaration (http://www.zim.mpg.de/openaccess-berlin/berlindeclaration.html).
The new communication possibilities allow academic content to be disseminated in a decentralised manner - in a fast, transparent way, closely related to research. Scientific researchers are regularly interested in making their findings widely available at a high level of quality. It goes without saying that the individual's work is respected, and recognised and secured for example by citing the author. The aim of this Digital Peer Publishing Licence is to ensure that this process takes place in a fair, transparent and secure way for all those involved.
The rights to Use in physical form, particularly the rights to distribute the work in printed form, on storage media or in print-on-demand services, are retained by the author or other rights holders and are not covered by this licence. This firstly promotes electronic publishing, and secondly allows the rights holder the possibility of granting the rights of physical distribution of issues of the work to an individual party, for example a commercial publishing company. Those who wish to publish their work in parallel under this licence and via a publishing company should ensure that the publishing agreement does not assign the exclusive rights of providing public access to the publishing company, but rather simple, non-exclusive, rights at most.
(a) "Digital Signature": Data in electronic form which are attached or logically linked to the Work and have the purpose of authenticating the author or holder of an exclusive right to Use.
(b) "History": Information on the Work, particularly on the authors, the history of its creation or the version of the Work, which is directly inserted into the Work or attached to it in a separate file for the purpose of informing the user. The History may also contain information concerning where the author makes updated versions of the Work available or listing subsequent corrections to the content.
(c) "Licensor": The holder of the copyright and his or her legal successor, or the holder of an exclusive right to Use for the Work, who offers to conclude this license agreement.
(d) "Metadata": Machine-readable, structured information on the Work, which is contained in the Work for the purpose of simplified machine-locatability of the Work and/or efficient administration of data (e.g. "HTML metatags").
(e) "Metadata Model": A standardised structure for collecting Metadata with defined elements for describing resources (e.g. "Dublin Core Metadata Element Set").
(f) "Use": Any use of the Work for which the permission of the author or holder of an exclusive right to Use is necessary under copyright law, e.g. passing on the Work or making it available for downloading.
(g) "Open File Format": A document format which is written in a standard freely accessible to any party and which may be implemented in a computer program by any party, without limitations and free of licence fees, e.g. Open Document Format (ODP), Portable Document Format (PDF), DocBook XML and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) .
(h) "You": The licensee - any party concluding this license agreement.
(i) "Altered Version": Any version of the Work in which You or a third party have made changes, regardless of whether the changes themselves reach the level of copyright protectability or not. Cases in which the law permits publication and passing on without consent ("fair use") are excepted.
(j) "Physical Copy": Any physical copy, reproduction or piece of the Work, i.e. the Work in its embodied form (e.g. as a printed book or on CD-ROM).
(k) "Work": The work protected by copyright, to which the rights to Use are granted by this license agreement.
(1) This license agreement shall, unrestricted by time and place, allow You to reproduce the Work in electronic form, to pass the Work on to third parties by electronic means, e.g. by e-mail communication, and - particularly by making it available for download - to make it publicly accessible. The license shall comprise all types of use of the work that encompass non-physical reproduction or conveyance of the Work, whether already known or unknown at the time of conclusion of this license agreement. Use in physical form, particularly the distribution of printed Works, and the Use of Altered Versions of the Work shall not be permitted.
(2) This license agreement shall further entitle You to incorporate the Work in electronic databases or other collections. Should You attain Your own rights to databases or collective works, You may not use these to restrict or prevent further Use of the Work.
(3) Rights to Use the Work shall be granted by this license agreement free of any licence fees.
(4) This license agreement has the intention of strengthening the provision of authentic information in the Internet. For this reason, Use of Altered Versions of the Work shall not be permitted.
§ 3: No Obligation to Use Free of Charge
This license agreement does not oblige You to Use the Work free of charge. You may agree on the payment of a fee with the user as consideration for the access to the Work or for the procurement of a Physical Copy via electronic forwarding in a data network. However, You may not make the further Use by the acquirer contingent upon further payments, since the acquirer does not receive the necessary rights to Use from You but from the Licensor.
(1) In case You Use the Work, You shall cite the names of authors - author or copyright references - in the same form as it has been included in the document. This shall also apply to citing the holder of an exclusive right to Use, in case these are cited in connection with the Work.
§ 8: Combination with other content
(1) The Licensor may combine the Work with other content that may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons license "Attribution" and use the combination, as long as the Work and the other content may still be used separately (e.g. combination of text and photography).
(2) If the Licensor has combined the Work with other content according to paragraph 1, You may not remove or alter any notice stating that the Creative Commons license applies to the other content and you may not use the Work without the other content. You have to comply with the terms of the Creative Commons license for Your use of the other content.
(3) You may not use any combination of the Work with other content.

§ 11: Reservation of Statutory Rights

It is not necessary to conclude this license agreement in order to make legal use of such rights.
