Addendum, not Amendment

In revising the file for my Amendment to Publication Agreement I decided to change the title to be an addendum rather than an amendment. An “amendment” suggests to me that the terms of an already-executed agreement are changed as a result. What I’m doing, however, is producing a new agreement, and adding on something extra, which is an addendum. It’s a subtle point, I know, but I enjoy thinking about these things.

The revised Addendum is up and running. I used the language from the ScienceCommons’ Addendum Engine to guide my changes.
