- Rules Governing Versions
- ------------------------
-
- This section only applies where a user wishes to alter the program in
- some way, and also intends to distribute the altered version. Where a
- user wishes only to alter the program for their own use, logging of
- alterations, and creation of versions are not necessary - although
- advised.
-
- In this document the term `root version number' indicates the first two
- numerals of the version number. This means that if the version number
- is 'version 2.45', then the root version number is '2.4'.
-
- The root version number for this program is fixed, and may not be
- altered without prior permission by the copyright owner of the root
- version (given at the start of this document).
-
- Anyone wishing to make alterations to this program must create their
- own version number. This is done by adding one digit after the
- root version number. The version number produced must be greater
- than any version numbers listed at the end of this document. Once
- the digit nine ('9') has been used to form a version number, no
- further new versions can be made from this root version.
-
- The produced version number, and the name of the author making the
- changes, must be placed at the end of this document, following the
- format :
-
- Alterations leading to version <version>
- Copyright <year> <name>.
-
- All alterations will be covered by this document, and must be
- documented in the 'changes' file.
