Secondarily, 54198090Srdivackythis License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get 55198090Srdivackycredit for their work, while not being considered responsible for 56198090Srdivackymodifications made by others. 57198090Srdivacky 58198090SrdivackyThis License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative 59193323Sedworks of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It 60193323Sedcomplements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft 61198090Srdivackylicense designed for free software. 62198090Srdivacky 63198090SrdivackyWe have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free 64198090Srdivackysoftware, because free software needs free documentation: a free 65198090Srdivackyprogram should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the 66198090Srdivackysoftware does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; 67198090Srdivackyit can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or 68198090Srdivackywhether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License 69198090Srdivackyprincipally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 70198090Srdivacky 71198090Srdivacky@item 72198090SrdivackyAPPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS 73198090Srdivacky 74198090SrdivackyThis License applies to any manual or other work that contains a 75193323Sednotice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed 76193323Sedunder the terms of this License. The ``Document'', below, refers to any 77198090Srdivackysuch manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is 78198090Srdivackyaddressed as ``you''. 79193323Sed 80207618SrdivackyA ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the 81207618SrdivackyDocument or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with 82198090Srdivackymodifications and/or translated into another language. 83198090Srdivacky 84198090SrdivackyA ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of 85198090Srdivackythe Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the 86249423Sdimpublishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject 87193323Sed(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly 88193323Sedwithin that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a 89198090Srdivackytextbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any 90198090Srdivackymathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical 91198090Srdivackyconnection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, 92207618Srdivackycommercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding 93207618Srdivackythem. 94207618Srdivacky 95198090SrdivackyThe ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles 96198090Srdivackyare designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice 97198090Srdivackythat says that the Document is released under this License. 98198090Srdivacky 99198090SrdivackyThe ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed, 100198090Srdivackyas Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that 101198090Srdivackythe Document is released under this License. 102198090Srdivacky 103198090SrdivackyA ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, 104198090Srdivackyrepresented in a format whose specification is available to the 105198090Srdivackygeneral public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and 106198090Srdivackystraightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of 107249423Sdimpixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available 108249423Sdimdrawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or 109249423Sdimfor automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input 110249423Sdimto text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file 111198090Srdivackyformat whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage 112198090Srdivackysubsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is 113198090Srdivackynot ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''. 114198090Srdivacky 115198090SrdivackyExamples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain 116198090Srdivacky@sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input format, 117198090Srdivacky@acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available 118198090Srdivacky@acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML} designed 119198090Srdivackyfor human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, 120198090Srdivacky@acronym{PDF}, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by 121198090Srdivackyproprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} for which 122198090Srdivackythe @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are not generally available, 123198090Srdivackyand the machine-generated @acronym{HTML} produced by some word 124198090Srdivackyprocessors for output purposes only. 125198090Srdivacky 126249423SdimThe ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself, 127198090Srdivackyplus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material 128198090Srdivackythis License requires to appear in the title page. For works in 129198090Srdivackyformats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means 130198090Srdivackythe text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, 131198090Srdivackypreceding the beginning of the body of the text. 132198090Srdivacky 133198090Srdivacky@item 134198090SrdivackyVERBATIM COPYING 135249423Sdim 136193323SedYou may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either 137193323Sedcommercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the 138193323Sedcopyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies 139198090Srdivackyto the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other 140198090Srdivackyconditions whatsoever to those of this License.

The front cover must present 158198090Srdivackythe full title with all words of the title equally prominent and 159198090Srdivackyvisible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. 160198090SrdivackyCopying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve 161198090Srdivackythe title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated 162193323Sedas verbatim copying in other respects. 163198090Srdivacky 164198090SrdivackyIf the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit 165198090Srdivackylegibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit 166198090Srdivackyreasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent 167198090Srdivackypages. 168193323Sed 169193323SedIf you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering 170198090Srdivackymore than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent 171198090Srdivackycopy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy 172198090Srdivackya publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete 173198090SrdivackyTransparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the 174198090Srdivackygeneral network-using public has access to download anonymously at no 175198090Srdivackycharge using public-standard network protocols.

To do this, add their titles to the 276list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. 277These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. 278 279You may add a section entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains 280nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various 281parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has 282been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a 283standard. 284 285You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a 286passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list 287of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of 288Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or 289through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already 290includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or 291by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, 292you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit 293permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. 294 295The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License 296give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or 297imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 298 299@item 300COMBINING DOCUMENTS 301 302You may combine the Document with other documents released under this 303License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified 304versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the 305Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and 306list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its 307license notice. 308 309The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and 310multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single 311copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but 312different contents, make the title of each such section unique by 313adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original 314author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. 315Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of 316Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. 317 318In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled ``History'' 319in the various original documents, forming one section entitled 320``History''; likewise combine any sections entitled ``Acknowledgments'', 321and any sections entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all sections 322entitled ``Endorsements.'' 323 324@item 325COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS 326 327You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents 328released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this 329License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in 330the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for 331verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. 332 333You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute 334it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this 335License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all 336other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 337 338@item 339AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS 340 341A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate 342and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or 343distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version 344of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the 345compilation. Such a compilation is called an ``aggregate'', and this 346License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled 347with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they 348are not themselves derivative works of the Document. 349 350If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these 351copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter 352of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on 353covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. 354Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. 355 356@item 357TRANSLATION 358 359Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may 360distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. 361Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special 362permission from their copyright holders, but you may include 363translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the 364original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a 365translation of this License provided that you also include the 366original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement 367between the translation and the original English version of this 368License, the original English version will prevail. 369 370@item 371TERMINATION 372 373You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except 374as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to 375copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will 376automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, 377parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this 378License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 379parties remain in full compliance. 380 381@item 382FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE 383 384The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions 385of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new 386versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may 387differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See 388@uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}. 389 390Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. 391If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this 392License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of 393following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or 394of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the 395Free Software Foundation.
