76
77 If you are distributing Open Publication works on hardcopy or CD-ROM, you
78 provide email notification to the authors of your intent to redistribute at
79 least thirty days before your manuscript or media freeze, to give the
80 authors time to provide updated documents. This notification should describe
81 modifications, if any, made to the document.
82
83 All substantive modifications (including deletions) be either clearly marked
84 up in the document or else described in an attachment to the document.
85
86 Finally, while it is not mandatory under this license, it is considered good
87 form to offer a free copy of any hardcopy and CD-ROM expression of an Open
88 Publication-licensed work to its author(s).
