PREAMBLE + +The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional +and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the +effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, +either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves +for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not +being considered responsible for modifications made by others. + +This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of +the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the +GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free +software. + +We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, +because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come +with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this +License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual +work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed +book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction +or reference. + + 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS + +This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under +the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free +license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated +herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member +of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license +if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under +copyright law. + +A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document +or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated +into another language. + +A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the +Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or +authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) +and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. +(Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section +may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical +connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, +philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. + +The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, +as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document +is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition +of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document +may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any +Invariant Sections then there are none. + +The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover +Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released +under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover +Text may be at most 25 words. + +A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented +in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is +suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors +or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) +some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text +formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for +input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format +whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage +subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is +not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is +not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". + +Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without +markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly +available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed +for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, +XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and +edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD +and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated +HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes +only. + +The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such +following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License +requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have +any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent +appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the +text. + +A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title +either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that +translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section +name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", +or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the +Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this +definition. + +The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states +that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are +considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards +disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers +may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License. + + 2. VERBATIM COPYING + +You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially +or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and +the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced +in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of +this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the +reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, +you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large +enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. + +You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you +may publicly display copies. + + 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY + +If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed +covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license +notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, +clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front +cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly +and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover +must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent +and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying +with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of +the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying +in other respects. + +If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, +you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual +cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. + +If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more +than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along +with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network +location from which the general network-using public has access to download +using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the +Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take +reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in +quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible +at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute +an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition +to the public. + +It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document +well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance +to provide you with an updated version of the Document. + + 4. MODIFICATIONS + +You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions +of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version +under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of +the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified +Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these +things in the Modified Version: + +A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from +that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if +there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may +use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that +version gives permission. + +B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible +for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with +at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal +authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement. + +C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, +as the publisher. + + D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. + +E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to +the other copyright notices. + +F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving +the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this +License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. + +G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and +required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. + + H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. + +I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to +it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of +the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled +"History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and +publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing +the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. + +J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public +access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations +given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be +placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work +that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the +original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. + +K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve +the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and +tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given +therein. + +L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their +text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered +part of the section titles. + +M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included +in the Modified Version. + +N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to +conflict in title with any Invariant Section. + + O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. + +If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that +qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, +you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. +To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified +Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section +titles. + +You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing +but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, +statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization +as the authoritative definition of a standard. + +You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage +of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts +in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover +Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If +the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously +added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf +of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit +permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. + +The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give +permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement +of any Modified Version. + + 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS + +You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, +under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided +that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of +the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections +of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their +Warranty Disclaimers. + +The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple +identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there +are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, +make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in +parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section +if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section +titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined +work. + +In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the +various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise +combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled +"Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements". + + 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + +You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released +under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the +various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided +that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of +the documents in all other respects. + +You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it +individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License +into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects +regarding verbatim copying of that document. + + 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + +A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent +documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, +is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is +not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what +the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, +this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are +not themselves derivative works of the Document. + +If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of +the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, +the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document +within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document +is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket +the whole aggregate. + + 8. TRANSLATION + +Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations +of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections +with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, +but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition +to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation +of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty +Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of +this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In +case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of +this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. + +If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", +or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) +will typically require changing the actual title. + + 9. TERMINATION + +You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as +expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, +sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate +your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, +or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated +so long as such parties remain in full compliance. + + 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + +The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU +Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar +in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new +problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. + +Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the +Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or +any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms +and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that +has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the +Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose +any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. +ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents + +To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the +License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices +just after the title page: + +Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or +modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, +Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; +with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts,and no Back-Cover Texts. +A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation +License". + +If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace +the "with...Texts." line with this: + +with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover +Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. + +If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination +of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. + +If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend +releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, +such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software. |
