107 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim | |
108 | copies of this license document, but changing it is | |
109 | not allowed. | |
110 | .PP | |
111 | 0. PREAMBLE | |
112 | .PP | |
113 | The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other | |
114 | written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone | |
115 | the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without | |
116 | modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, | |
117 | this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get | |
118 | credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for | |
119 | modifications made by others. | |
120 | .PP | |
121 | This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative | |
122 | works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It | |
123 | complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft | |
124 | license designed for free software. | |
125 | .PP | |
126 | We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free | |
127 | software, because free software needs free documentation: a free | |
128 | program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the | |
129 | software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; | |
130 | it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or | |
131 | whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License | |
132 | principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. | |
133 | .PP | |
134 | 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS | |
135 | .PP | |
136 | This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a | |
137 | notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed | |
138 | under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any | |
139 | such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is | |
140 | addressed as "you". | |
141 | .PP | |
142 | A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the | |
143 | Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with | |
144 | modifications and/or translated into another language. | |
145 | .PP | |
146 | A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of | |
147 | the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the | |
148 | publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject | |
149 | (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly | |
150 | within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a | |
151 | textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any | |
152 | mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical | |
153 | connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, | |
154 | commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding | |
155 | them. | |
156 | .PP | |
157 | The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles | |
158 | are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice | |
159 | that says that the Document is released under this License. | |
160 | .PP | |
161 | The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, | |
162 | as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that | |
163 | the Document is released under this License. | |
164 | .PP | |
165 | A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, | |
166 | represented in a format whose specification is available to the | |
167 | general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and | |
168 | straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of | |
169 | pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available | |
170 | drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or | |
171 | for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input | |
172 | to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file | |
173 | format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage | |
174 | subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is | |
175 | not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". | |
176 | .PP | |
177 | Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain | |
178 | ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML | |
179 | or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple | |
180 | HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include | |
181 | PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only | |
182 | by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or | |
183 | processing tools are not generally available, and the | |
184 | machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output | |
185 | purposes only. | |
186 | .PP | |
187 | The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, | |
188 | plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material | |
189 | this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in | |
190 | formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means | |
191 | the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, | |
192 | preceding the beginning of the body of the text. | |
193 | .PP | |
194 | 2. VERBATIM COPYING | |
195 | .PP | |
196 | You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either | |
197 | commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the | |
198 | copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies | |
199 | to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other | |
200 | conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use | |
201 | technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further | |
202 | copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept | |
203 | compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough | |
204 | number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. | |
205 | .PP | |
206 | You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and | |
207 | you may publicly display copies. | |
208 | .PP | |
209 | 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY | |
210 | .PP | |
211 | If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, | |
212 | and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose | |
213 | the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover | |
214 | Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on | |
215 | the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify | |
216 | you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present | |
217 | the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and | |
218 | visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. | |
219 | Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve | |
220 | the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated | |
221 | as verbatim copying in other respects. | |
222 | .PP | |
223 | If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit | |
224 | legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit | |
225 | reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent | |
226 | pages. | |
227 | .PP | |
228 | If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering | |
229 | more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent | |
230 | copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy | |
231 | a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete | |
232 | Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the | |
233 | general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no | |
234 | charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter | |
235 | option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin | |
236 | distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this | |
237 | Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location | |
238 | until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque | |
239 | copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to | |
240 | the public. | |
241 | .PP | |
242 | It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the | |
243 | Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give | |
244 | them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. | |
245 | .PP | |
246 | 4. MODIFICATIONS | |
247 | .PP | |
248 | You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under | |
249 | the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release | |
250 | the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified | |
251 | Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution | |
252 | and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy | |
253 | of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: | |
254 | .PP | |
255 | A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct | |
256 | from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions | |
257 | (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section | |
258 | of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version | |
259 | if the original publisher of that version gives permission. | |
260 | .PP | |
261 | B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities | |
262 | responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified | |
263 | Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the | |
264 | Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). | |
265 | .PP | |
266 | C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the | |
267 | Modified Version, as the publisher. | |
268 | .PP | |
269 | D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. | |
270 | .PP | |
271 | E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications | |
272 | adjacent to the other copyright notices. | |
273 | .PP | |
274 | F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice | |
275 | giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the | |
276 | terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. | |
277 | Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections | |
278 | and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. | |
279 | .PP | |
280 | H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. | |
281 | .PP | |
282 | I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to | |
283 | it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and | |
284 | publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If | |
285 | there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one | |
286 | stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as | |
287 | given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified | |
288 | Version as stated in the previous sentence. | |
289 | .PP | |
290 | J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for | |
291 | public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise | |
292 | the network locations given in the Document for previous versions | |
293 | it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. | |
294 | You may omit a network location for a work that was published at | |
295 | least four years before the Document itself, or if the original | |
296 | publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. | |
297 | .PP | |
298 | K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", | |
299 | preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the | |
300 | substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements | |
301 | and/or dedications given therein. | |
302 | .PP | |
303 | L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, | |
304 | unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers | |
305 | or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. | |
306 | .PP | |
307 | M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section | |
308 | may not be included in the Modified Version. | |
309 | .PP | |
310 | N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" | |
311 | or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. | |
312 | .PP | |
313 | If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or | |
314 | appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material | |
315 | copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all | |
316 | of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the | |
317 | list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. | |
318 | These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. | |
319 | .PP | |
320 | You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains | |
321 | nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various | |
322 | parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has | |
323 | been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a | |
324 | standard. | |
325 | .PP | |
326 | You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a | |
327 | passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list | |
328 | of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of | |
329 | Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or | |
330 | through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already | |
331 | includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or | |
332 | by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, | |
333 | you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit | |
334 | permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. | |
335 | .PP | |
336 | The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License | |
337 | give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or | |
338 | imply endorsement of any Modified Version. | |
339 | .PP | |
340 | ||
341 | 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS | |
342 | .PP | |
343 | You may combine the Document with other documents released under this | |
344 | License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified | |
345 | versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the | |
346 | Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and | |
347 | list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its | |
348 | license notice. | |
349 | .PP | |
350 | The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and | |
351 | multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single | |
352 | copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but | |
353 | different contents, make the title of each such section unique by | |
354 | adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original | |
355 | author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. | |
356 | Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of | |
357 | Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. | |
358 | .PP | |
359 | In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" | |
360 | in the various original documents, forming one section entitled | |
361 | "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", | |
362 | and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections | |
363 | entitled "Endorsements." | |
364 | .PP | |
365 | ||
366 | 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS | |
367 | .PP | |
368 | You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents | |
369 | released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this | |
370 | License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in | |
371 | the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for | |
372 | verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. | |
373 | .PP | |
374 | You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute | |
375 | it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this | |
376 | License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all | |
377 | other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. | |
378 | .PP | |
379 | ||
380 | 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS | |
381 | .PP | |
382 | A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate | |
383 | and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or | |
384 | distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version | |
385 | of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the | |
386 | compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this | |
387 | License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled | |
388 | with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they | |
389 | are not themselves derivative works of the Document. | |
390 | .PP | |
391 | If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these | |
392 | copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter | |
393 | of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on | |
394 | covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. | |
395 | Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. | |
396 | .PP | |
397 | ||
398 | 8. TRANSLATION | |
399 | .PP | |
400 | Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may | |
401 | distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. | |
402 | Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special | |
403 | permission from their copyright holders, but you may include | |
404 | translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the | |
405 | original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a | |
406 | translation of this License provided that you also include the | |
407 | original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement | |
408 | between the translation and the original English version of this | |
409 | License, the original English version will prevail. | |
410 | .PP | |
411 | ||
412 | 9. TERMINATION | |
413 | .PP | |
414 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except | |
415 | as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to | |
416 | copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will | |
417 | automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, | |
418 | parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this | |
419 | License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | |
420 | parties remain in full compliance. | |
421 | .PP | |
422 | ||
423 | 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE | |
424 | .PP | |
425 | The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions | |
426 | of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new | |
427 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
428 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See | |
429 | http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. | |
430 | .PP | |
431 | Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. | |
432 | If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this | |
433 | License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of | |
434 | following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or | |
435 | of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the | |
436 | Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version | |
437 | number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not | |
438 | as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. | |
439 | .PP | |

441 | ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents | |
442 | .PP | |
443 | To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of | |
444 | the License in the document and put the following copyright and | |
