		for book issues with numerical references [1],
	"bookhrvd" (or "book_template_II")

           note and citation

           ("With the permission of..."), based on a permission of 
           the owner of the copyright that should be attached to 
           the PWNT COPYRIGHT TRANSFER AGREEMENT/FORM
	c. in the case of electronic copies of www pages, 
           which are not warranted, they have to be similarly cited [12]
	d. in the case of screenshots of working packages, it should be 
	   clearly stated in a suitable note/caption, 
           which/whose product it concerns.
