Hi all,
IPOL is moving forward, with PDF, "preprints", and a journal
management software currently being tested. We propose a new copyright
and license policy, copied hereafter.
In fact, there was no clear copyright and license agreement until
now, so this is the first formal one. In short, this agreement says:
* authors retain the copyright to everything they submit; IPOL only
publishes the articles, IPOL doesn't own the articles;
* we use free licenses: CC-BY-NC-SA for the manuscript,
GPL/LGPL/AGPL/BSD for the software (cf. Software Guidelines) and
CC-BY for the data;
* anyone reusing these materials must cite the authors;
* authors can do whatever they want with their work;
* authors are encouraged to repost their article to other
repositories, including the final (postprint) version;
* everything is freely available online.
Your comments are welcome.

their code under other licenses at their will, including via
commercial contracts and partnerships.
