48PREAMBLE
49
50The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
51functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
52assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
53with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
54Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
55to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
56for modifications made by others.
57
58This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
59works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.  It
60complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
61license designed for free software.
62
63We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
64software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
65program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
66software does.  But this License is not limited to software manuals;
67it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
68whether it is published as a printed book.  We recommend this License
69principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
70
71@item
72APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
73
74This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
75contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
76distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice grants a
77world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
78work under the conditions stated herein.  The ``Document'', below,
79refers to any such manual or work.  Any member of the public is a
80licensee, and is addressed as ``you''.  You accept the license if you
81copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
82under copyright law.
83
84A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
85Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
86modifications and/or translated into another language.
87
88A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section
89of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
90publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
91subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
92directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document is in
93part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
94any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of historical
95connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
96commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
97them.
98
99The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
100are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
101that says that the Document is released under this License.  If a
102section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
103allowed to be designated as Invariant.  The Document may contain zero
104Invariant Sections.  If the Document does not identify any Invariant
105Sections then there are none.
106
107The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
108as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
109the Document is released under this License.  A Front-Cover Text may
110be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
111
112A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
113represented in a format whose specification is available to the
114general public, that is suitable for revising the document
115straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
116pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
117drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
118for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
119to text formatters.  A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
120format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
121or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
122An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
123of text.  A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
124
125Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
126@sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
127format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
128@acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
129PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification.  Examples
130of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
131@acronym{JPG}.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
132read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
133@acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
134not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
135PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
136output purposes only.
137
138The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
139plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
140this License requires to appear in the title page.  For works in
141formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
142the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
143preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
144
145A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
146title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
147text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ stands for a
148specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
149``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.)  To ``Preserve the Title''
150of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
151section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
152
153The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
154states that this License applies to the Document.  These Warranty
155Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
156License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
157implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
158no effect on the meaning of this License.
159
160@item
161VERBATIM COPYING
162
163You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
164commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
165copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
166to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
167conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You may not use
168technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
169copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However, you may accept
170compensation in exchange for copies.  If you distribute a large enough
171number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
172
173You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
174you may publicly display copies.
175
176@item
177COPYING IN QUANTITY
178
179If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
180printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
181Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
182copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
183Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
184the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
185you as the publisher of these copies.  The front cover must present
186the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
187visible.  You may add other material on the covers in addition.
188Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
189the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
190as verbatim copying in other respects.
191
192If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
193legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
194reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
195pages.
196
197If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
198more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
199copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
200a computer-network location from which the general network-using
201public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
202a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
203If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
204when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
205that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
206location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
207Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
208edition to the public.
209
210It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
211Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
212them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
213
214@item
215MODIFICATIONS
216
217You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
218the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
219the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
220Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
221and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
222of it.  In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
223
224@enumerate A
225@item
226Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
227from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
228(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
229of the Document).  You may use the same title as a previous version
230if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
231
232@item
233List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
234responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
235Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
236Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
237unless they release you from this requirement.
238
239@item
240State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
241Modified Version, as the publisher.
242
243@item
244Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
245
246@item
247Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
248adjacent to the other copyright notices.
249
250@item
251Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
252giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
253terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
254
255@item
256Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
257and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
258
259@item
260Include an unaltered copy of this License.
261
262@item
263Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
264to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
265publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page.  If
266there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
267stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
268given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
269Version as stated in the previous sentence.
270
271@item
272Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
273public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
274the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
275it was based on.  These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
276You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
277least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
278publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
279
280@item
281For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve
282the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
283substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
284dedications given therein.
285
286@item
287Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
288unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
289or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
290
291@item
292Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''.  Such a section
293may not be included in the Modified Version.
294
295@item
296Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or
297to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
298
299@item
300Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
301@end enumerate
302
303If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
304appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
305copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
306of these sections as invariant.  To do this, add their titles to the
307list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
308These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
309
310You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
311nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
312parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
313been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
314standard.
315
316You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
317passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
318of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one passage of
319Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
320through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the Document already
321includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
322by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
323you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
324permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
325
326The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
327give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
328imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
329
330@item
331COMBINING DOCUMENTS
332
333You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
334License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
335versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
336Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
337list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
338license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
339
340The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
341multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
342copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
343different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
344adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
345author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
346Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
347Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
348
349In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
350in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
351``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
352and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''.  You must delete all
353sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
354
355@item
356COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
357
358You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
359released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
360License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
361the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
362verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
363
364You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
365it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
366License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
367other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
368
369@item
370AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
371
372A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
373and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
374distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
375resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
376of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
377When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
378apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
379derivative works of the Document.
380
381If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
382copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
383the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
384covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
385electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
386Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
387aggregate.
388
389@item
390TRANSLATION
391
392Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
393distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
394Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
395permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
396translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
397original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
398translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
399Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
400the original English version of this License and the original versions
401of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a disagreement between
402the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
403or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
404
405If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
406``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
407its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
408title.
409
410@item
411TERMINATION
412
413You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
414as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other attempt to
415copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
416automatically terminate your rights under this License.  However,
417parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
418License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
419parties remain in full compliance.
420
421@item
422FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
423
424The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
425of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
426versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
427differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
428@uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
429
430Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
431If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
432License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
433following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
434of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
435Free Software Foundation.  If the Document does not specify a version
436number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
437as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
