Parity with two phrases already used in AGPLv3's main body.

AGPLv3§2 uses the phrase "output from running a covered work", so we use the
same phrase here. §6(e) already uses the phrase "general public", and of
course "propagate" is a defined term from AGPLv3§0.

This reworked definition of "Covered Output" better normalizes its definition
to fit the standard terminology of AGPLv3, and also removes the 'deployed on
a website'. We actually don't want to create the idea that deploying on the
website is the only way to be eligible for the additional permission. The
key issue is to assure that any items that receive the additional permission
are distributed to the general public, as we want "one last step" of Affero
requirement for the Covered Output, which only once available to the public
can then be combined with other software more liberally.

       The Web Template Output Additional Permission, Version 0.7
       
This Web Template Output Additional Permission ("Additional Permission") is
an additional permission under section 7 of the GNU Affero General Public
License, version 3 ("AGPLv3"). It applies to any Program that includes or
references this Additional Permission.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Covered Output" means a covered work in the HTML, Javascript, and/or CSS
languages, that was output from running a covered work and is propagated to
the general public.

The "Output Licenses" are, for covered works written in HTML, the Creative Commons
Public Domain Dedication 1.0 Universal or any later version as published by
Creative Commons, Inc. ("CC0"), and, for covered works written in CSS and Javascript,
the GNU Lesser General Public License Version 3 or any later version of that
license as published by the Free Software Foundation,
Inc. ("LGPLv3-or-later").

2. GRANT OF ADDITIONAL PERMISSION

The Covered Output is licensed to you under the Output Licenses provided that
Covered Output is comprised only of: (a) Covered Output generated by the
unmodified Program, and/or (b) content that was not already a covered work.

No additional permission is granted for any covered works that are not HTML,
Javascript nor CSS.

3. NO WEAKENING OF COPYLEFT.

The availability of this Additional Permission does not imply any general
presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
requirements of the AGPLv3 license of this Program.

4.   Revised Versions of this Additional Permission.

The Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. ("Conservancy") may publish revised
and/or new versions of this Additional Permission from time to time.  Such
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ
in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
specifies that a certain numbered version of this Additional Permission "or
any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms
and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version
published by Conservancy.  If the Program does not specify a version number
of this Additional Permission, you may choose any version ever published by
Conservancy.

If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
this Additional Permission can be used, that proxy's public statement of
acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for
the Program.

Later Additional Permission versions may give you additional or different
permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or
copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
