(For a small manual such as this, it's not +worth our trying to assert a copyleft.) + + I, <name of person>, hereby disclaim all copyright interest in my + manual <manual> which does <one-line desription>. + + I affirm that I have no other intellectual property interest + that would undermine this release, and will do nothing to undermine + it in the future. I represent that the work is my own and not + a copy of someone else's work. + + <signature and date> + +*Don't forget to include the date.* +Spell out the month name--don't use a number for the month. Dates +using a number for the month are ambiguous; 2/8/95 means one thing in +the US and another in Europe. + +If you are employed to do writing (even at a university), or have made +an agreement with your employer or school saying it owns what you +write, then we also need a signed disclaimer from your employer or +school. + +This disclaimer should be signed by a vice president or general +manager of the company. If you can't get at them, anyone else +authorized to license software produced there will do. Here is a +sample wording: + + Digital Stimulation Corporation hereby disclaims all copyright interest + in the manual "seduce.tex" written by Hugh Heffner, including both the + present version of the program and his/her future changes and + enhancements to it. We do not consider it or them as a work made + for hire for us. + + Digital Stimulation Corporation affirms that it has no other + intellectual property interest that would undermine this release, + and will do nothing to undermine it in the future. + + <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1987 + Ty Coon, President of Vice, Digital Stimulation Corp. + +If your employer says they do have an intellectual property claim that +could conflict with the use of the manual, then please put me in touch +with a suitable representative of the company, so that we can +negotiate what to do about it. + +IMPORTANT: When you talk to your employer, *no matter what +instructions they have given you*, don't fail to show them the sample +disclaimer above, or a disclaimer with the details filled in for your +specific case. Companies are usually willing to sign a disclaimer +without any fuss. If you make your request less specific, you may +open Pandora's box and cause a long and unnecessary delay. + +Please snail the signed disclaimers to: + +Attn: Disclaimer Clerk +Free Software Foundation +59 Temple Place, Suite 330 +Boston, MA 02111-1307 +USA + +Please print your email address on the printed disclaimer. |
