                              KOMA-Script
     Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification
           Almost Like LaTeX Project Public License Version 1.0


WARRANTY
========

There is no warranty for KOMA-Script, to the extent permitted by
applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing, the
Copyright holder provides KOMA-Script `as is' without warranty of any
kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the
program is with you. Should KOMA-Script prove defective, you assume
the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing
will the Copyright holder, or any of the individual authors named in
the source for KOMA-Script, be liable to you for damages, including
any general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising out
of any use of KOMA-Script or out of inability to use KOMA-Script
(including but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered
inaccurate or losses sustained by you or by third parties as a result
of a failure of The Program to operate with any other programs), even
if such holder or other party has been advised of the possibility of
such damages.


DISTRIBUTION
============

Redistribution of unchanged files is allowed provided that all files
that make up the distribution of KOMA-Script are distributed.
In particular this means that KOMA-Script has to be distributed
including its documentation if documentation was part of the original
distribution. If you distribute KOMA-Script together with a
installation programm or installation programms, you have to take
care, that users cannot skip or delete parts of KOMA-Script without
be well informed about this action.

The distribution of KOMA-Script contain a listing of all the files
covered by this license at readme.txt and liesmich.txt.

If you receive only some of these files from someone, complain!

The distribution of changed versions of certain files included in the
KOMA-Script, and the reuse of code from KOMA-Script, are allowed
under the following restrictions:

 * It is allowed only if the legal notice in the file does not
   expressly forbid it.
   See note below, under "Conditions on individual files".
 
 * You rename the file before you make any changes to it, unless the
   file explicitly says that renaming is not required.  Any such changed
   files must be distributed under a license that forbids distribution
   of those files, and any files derived from them, under the names used
   by the original files in the distribution of KOMA-Script.

 * You change any `identification string' in KOMA-Script to clearly 
   indicate that the file is not part of the standard system.

 * You change the `error report address' in any modified versions of
   KOMA-Script, so that reports for files not maintained by the
   original program maintainers are directed to the maintainers of the
   changed files. 

 * You acknowledge the source and authorship of the original version
   in the modified file.

 * You also distribute the unmodified version of the file.

 * Then files with the following file extensions which have special
   meaning in LaTeX Software, have special modification rules under the
   license:
 
    - Files with extension `.ins' (installation files): these files may
      not be modified at all because they contain the legal notices
      that are placed in the generated files.
 
    - Files with extension `.fd' (LaTeX font definitions files): these
      files are allowed to be modified without changing the name, but
      only to enable use of all available fonts and to prevent attempts
      to access unavailable fonts. However, modified files are not
      allowed to be distributed in place of original files.
 
    - Files with extension `.cfg' (configuration files): these files
      can be created or modified to enable easy configuration of the
      system.  The documentation in cfgguide.tex in the base LaTeX
      distribution describes when it makes sense to modify or generate
      such files.
 

The above restrictions are not intended to prohibit, and hence do
not apply to, the updating, by any method, of a file so that it
becomes identical to the latest version of that file in KOMA-Script.

========================================================================

NOTES
=====

We believe that these requirements give you the freedom you to make
modifications that conform with whatever technical specifications you
wish, whilst maintaining the availability, integrity and reliability of
The Program.  If you do not see how to achieve your goal whilst
adhering to these requirements then read the document cfgguide.tex
in the base LaTeX distribution for suggestions. 

Because of the portability and exchangeability aspects of systems
like LaTeX, The LaTeX3 Project deprecates the distribution of
non-standard versions of components of LaTeX or of generally available
contributed code for them but such distributions are permitted under the
above restrictions.

The document modguide.tex in the base LaTeX distribution details
the reasons for the legal requirements detailed above.
Even if KOMA-Script would be unrelated to LaTeX, the argument in
modguide.tex may still apply, and should be read before
a modified version of KOMA-Script is distributed.


Conditions on individual files
==============================

The individual files may bear additional conditions which supersede
the general conditions on distribution and modification contained in
this file.

Typical examples of files with more restrictive modification
conditions would be files that contain the text of copyright notices.

 * The conditions on individual files differ only in the
   extent of *modification* that is allowed.

 * The conditions on *distribution* are the same for all the files.
   Thus a (re)distributor of a complete, unchanged copy of The Program
   need meet only the conditions in this file; it is not necessary to
   check the header of every file in the distribution to check that a
   distribution meets these requirements.

Such files are:

 * All files ending `.txt' or `.TXT':
   You are not allowed to modify these files containing legal notices.

 * All files starting `scr_new' or `scrnew':
   You are not allowed to modify these files containing information
   about the versions of KOMA-Script. You are not allowed to add other
   files with such a name to the bundle.

 * Alle anderen Dateien mit dem Anfang `scr':
   These are original KOMA-Script files. You are not allowed to start
   the name of a changed or new file with this letters and place it
   nearby KOMA-Script, if it is not part of the original KOMA-Script
   bundle.
