本小節請看原文

版權

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.

商標

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).

不擔保

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 未來計劃: 你也可以幫忙

請告訴我你的種種想法. 但首先注意, 如果你手中的版本是一個月以前的, 請看是否有新版本.

此 HOWTO 第一個版本, 0.00, 我甚至沒有看書: PnP 體系結構, 也並不完全理解 PnP. 也沒有比較二個把 Linux 變成 PnP 操作系統的補丁的不同. 我不會充分解釋 BIOS 如何設置 PnP(更不要說補丁如何做了). 此 HOWTO 是不完整的並且可能不正確(假如我錯了, 請告訴我). 在此 HOWTO 中我使用 ?? 來表示我不知道答案. 你想改進(重寫)和維護此 HOWTO 嗎? 我正在找人.

1.3 此 HOWTO 的新版本

此 HOWTO 的新版本可以在 LDP 的鏡像站點上找到. 首先看 http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/mirrors.html, 當你找到一個近的鏡像站點後, 點擊 "Linux Documentation Project" (LDP), 在其它格式 HOWTO 中找. 如果你僅僅想知道最新版本的日期, 你不必使用鏡像站點, 看 http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html 即可.
