49218893Sdim
50218893SdimThe purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
51218893Sdimwritten document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
52218893Sdimthe effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
53218893Sdimmodifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.  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.

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.

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.  You may not use
141198090Srdivackytechnical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
142198090Srdivackycopying of the copies you make or distribute.  However, you may accept
143198090Srdivackycompensation in exchange for copies.  If you distribute a large enough
144198090Srdivackynumber of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
145198090Srdivacky
146198090SrdivackyYou may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
147221345Sdimyou may publicly display copies.

152221345SdimIf you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
153221345Sdimand the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
154221345Sdimthe copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
155193323SedTexts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
156198090Srdivackythe back cover.  Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
157198090Srdivackyyou as the publisher of these copies.  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

174198090Srdivackygeneral network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
175198090Srdivackycharge using public-standard network protocols.  If you use the latter
176198090Srdivackyoption, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
177198090Srdivackydistribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
178198090SrdivackyTransparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
179198090Srdivackyuntil at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
180198090Srdivackycopy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
181198090Srdivackythe public.

198@item
199Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
200from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
201(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
202of the Document).  You may use the same title as a previous version
203if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
204
205@item
206List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
207responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
208Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
209Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).

219Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
220adjacent to the other copyright notices.

223Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
224giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
225terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.

228Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
229and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.

235Preserve the section entitled ``History'', and its title, and add to
236it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
237publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page.  If
238there is no section entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
239stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
240given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
241Version as stated in the previous sentence.
242
243@item
244Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
245public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
246the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
247it was based on.  These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
248You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
249least four years before the Document itself, or if the original

254preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
255substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgments

260unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
261or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
262
263@item
264Delete any section entitled ``Endorsements''.  Such a section
265may not be included in the Modified Version.
266
267@item
268Do not retitle any existing section as ``Endorsements''
269or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
270@end enumerate
271
272If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
273appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
274copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
275of these sections as invariant.  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

296give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
297imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

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.''

325COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

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.

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.

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.

387differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
388@uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
389
