    guid=&quot;_nrrn4GqHEdun45RPFGeYnA&quot;>Unified Method Framework (UMF)&lt;/a>, every plug-in must have an associated copyright (and&#xD;
    every plug-in can only have one copyright).&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Copyrights are defined in Release Copyright plug-ins. There is one Release Copyright plug-in per &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;&#xD;
    href=&quot;./../../../core.mdev.common.base/guidances/termdefinitions/licensing_level_746E1470.html&quot;&#xD;
    guid=&quot;_47cn8PU3EdyNMvgj607huw&quot;>licensing level&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;that contains the copyright elements (defined as supporting&#xD;
    material guidance elements) for that level. Every plug-in at a particular licensing level needs to be associated with&#xD;
    the copyright for that licensing level. Copyrights are associated to plug-ins as part of the plug-in's definition.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    If a specific copyright is needed for a specific plug-in, then perform the following to create a specialized copyright:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ol>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Define an Extends plug-in for the Release Copyright plug-in at the licensing level of the plug-in requiring the&#xD;
        special copyright.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        In the Extends plug-in, define a supporting material guidance element that extends the copyright element for that&#xD;
        licensing level. This results in a new copyright element that looks just like the original copyright element that&#xD;
        was extended.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Also in the Extends plug-in, define a supporting material guidance element that contributes to the extending&#xD;
        copyright element and add whatever special copyright information is needed. Now you have a specialized copyright&#xD;
        that includes the appropriate copyright&amp;nbsp;information for the licensing level plus the special copyright&#xD;
        information.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br />&#xD;
        Note: The extending element and the contributing element are both needed. If you add the specialized copyright&#xD;
        information to the extending element, then that information would override the text in the original base, and in&#xD;
        this case, that is not what we want (we want to add the specialized copyright information to the general licensing&#xD;
        level copyright information).&amp;nbsp;By using the extend-contributes pair, you can create a new element that includes&#xD;
        the same content as an existing element plus more. For more information on method content variability, see &lt;a&#xD;

        guid=&quot;_8YIMYCNQEdycLddDalDmbA&quot;>Guideline: Using Method Content Variability&lt;/a>.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Associate the specialized copyright to the plug-ins (or individual method elements) that need it (copyrights&#xD;
        associated with a plug-in are automatically associated with all elements in the plug-in).&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ol>&#xD;
