        It almost fits; it just seems that some of it is geared too
specifically towards published works.

<Open Publication License>

Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the citation
of the original publisher and author. The publisher and author's names
shall appear on all outer surfaces of the book. On all outer surfaces of
the book the original publisher's name shall be as large as the title of
the work and cited as possessive with respect to the title.

</Open Publication License>

        What if there is no original "publisher"?
