1.1 版权, 商标, 不担保, 和 信用

本小节请看原文

版权

Copyright (c) 1998 by David S. Lawyer. Please freely copy and distribute (sell or give away) this document. You may create derivative works and distribute them provided you:

I. For the case of minor changes and corrections where there exists a current maintainer:
Send your proposed changes to the current maintainer first. You may distribute (per II. below) only if the current maintainer neglects to incorporate your changes in a timely manner. If the changes are only to correct typos, you need not wait for a reply from the maintainer before you distribute.

II. In all other cases:

  1. Make a good faith effort to insure that a copy of the derivative work (including any master copy) gets on the Internet at a well-known (and mirrored) site for free downloading.
  2. If you change the license, license the work in the spirit of this license, or use GPL (Free Software Foundation).
  3. The major authors become the copyright owners (not to exceed 2). Minor contributions do not make you an author.
  4. Make a good faith effort to contact the maintainer (or copyright owners if there is no maintainer) to let them know what you have done. If the changes are extensive, then you should also attempt to make more such contacts (including prior to your project).
  5. Give full credit to significant previous authors and contributors although the credits section need not exceed 1% of the length of the document.

商标

If certain words are trademarks, the context should make it clear to whom they belong. For example "MS Windows" (or just "Windows") implies that "Windows" belongs to Microsoft (Micro$oft).

不担保

Much of the info in this HOWTO was obtained from Serial-HOWTO, the Internet, sales clerks, etc. and may be unreliable. While I haven't intentionally tried to mislead you, there are likely a number of errors in this document. Please let me know about them. Since this is free documentation, it should be obvious that neither I nor previous authors can be held legally responsible for any errors.

1.2 未来计划: 你也可以帮忙

请告诉我你的种种想法. 但首先注意, 如果你手中的版本是一个月以前的, 请看是否有新版本.

此 HOWTO 第一个版本, 0.00, 我甚至没有看书: PnP 体系结构, 也并不完全理解 PnP. 也没有比较二个把 Linux 变成 PnP 操作系统的补丁的不同. 我不会充分解释 BIOS 如何设置 PnP(更不要说补丁如何做了). 此 HOWTO 是不完整的并且可能不正确(假如我错了, 请告诉我). 在此 HOWTO 中我使用 ?? 来表示我不知道答案. 你想改进(重写)和维护此 HOWTO 吗? 我正在找人.

1.3 此 HOWTO 的新版本

此 HOWTO 的新版本可以在 LDP 的镜像站点上找到. 首先看 http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/mirrors.html, 当你找到一个近的镜像站点後, 点击 "Linux Documentation Project" (LDP), 在其它格式 HOWTO 中找. 如果你仅仅想知道最新版本的日期, 你不必使用镜像站点, 看 http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html 即可.
