17PREAMBLE
18
19The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
7260457b
RF
20functional and useful document ``free'' in the sense of freedom: to
21assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
22with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
23Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
24to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
25for modifications made by others.
3d3df9e1
RS
26
27This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
28works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
29complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
30license designed for free software.
31
32We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
33software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
34program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
35software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
36it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
37whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
38principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

42APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
43
7260457b
RF
44This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
45contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
46distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
47world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
48work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
49refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
50licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
51copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
52under copyright law.
3d3df9e1
RS
53
54A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
55Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
56modifications and/or translated into another language.
57
58A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
59the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
60publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
61(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
7260457b 62within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
3d3df9e1
RS
63textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
64mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
65connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
66commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
67them.
68
69The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
70are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
7260457b
RF
71that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
72section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
73allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
74Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
75Sections then there are none.
3d3df9e1
RS
76
77The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
78as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
7260457b
RF
79the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
80be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
3d3df9e1
RS
81
82A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
83represented in a format whose specification is available to the
7260457b 84general public, that is suitable for revising the document
3d3df9e1
RS
85straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
86pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
87drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
88for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
89to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
7260457b
RF
90format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
91or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
92An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
93of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque.''
94
3d3df9e1
RS
95
96Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
97ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
98or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
7260457b
RF
99HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
100transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
101include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
102proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
3d3df9e1 103processing tools are not generally available, and the
7260457b
RF
104machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
105processors for output purposes only.
3d3df9e1
RS
106
107The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
108plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
109this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
110formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
111the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
112preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
7260457b
RF
113
114A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
115title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
116text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
117specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
118``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
119of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
120section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
121
122The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
123states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
124Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
125License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
126implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
127no effect on the meaning of this License.

130VERBATIM COPYING
131
132You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
133commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
134copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
135to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
136conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
137technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
138copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
139compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
140number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
141
142You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
143you may publicly display copies.

146COPYING IN QUANTITY
147
7260457b
RF
148If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
149printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
150Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
151copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
3d3df9e1
RS
152Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
153the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
154you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
155the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
156visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
157Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
158the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
159as verbatim copying in other respects.
160
161If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
162legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
163reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
164pages.
165
166If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
167more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
168copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
7260457b
RF
169a computer-network location from which the general network-using
170public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
171a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
172If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
173when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
174that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
175location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
176Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
177edition to the public.
3d3df9e1
RS
178
179It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
180Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
181them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

184MODIFICATIONS

186You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
187the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
188the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
189Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
190and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
191of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
192
193A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
194 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
195 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
196 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
197 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.@*
198B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
199 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
200 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
7260457b
RF
201 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
202 unless they release you from this requirement.@*
3d3df9e1
RS
203C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
204 Modified Version, as the publisher.@*
205D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.@*
206E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
207 adjacent to the other copyright notices.@*
208F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
209 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
210 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.@*
211G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
212 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.@*
213H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.@*
7260457b
RF
214I. Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
215 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
3d3df9e1 216 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
7260457b 217 there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
3d3df9e1
RS
218 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
219 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
220 Version as stated in the previous sentence.@*
221J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
222 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
223 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
224 it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
225 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
226 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
227 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.@*
7260457b
RF
228K. For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
229 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
230 the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
3d3df9e1
RS
231 and/or dedications given therein.@*
232L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
233 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
234 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.@*
7260457b 235M. Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements.'' Such a section
3d3df9e1 236 may not be included in the Modified Version.@*
7260457b 237N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements''
3d3df9e1 238 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.@*
7260457b 239O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.@*

3d3df9e1

241If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
242appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
243copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
244of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
245list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
246These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
247
7260457b 248You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
3d3df9e1
RS
249nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
250parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
251been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
252standard.
253
254You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
255passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
256of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
257Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
258through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
259includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
260by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
261you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
262permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
263
264The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
265give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
266imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

269COMBINING DOCUMENTS

271You may combine the Document with other documents released under this

273versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
274Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
275list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
7260457b 276license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
3d3df9e1
RS
277
278The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
279multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
280copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
281different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
282adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
283author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
284Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
285Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
286
7260457b

287In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
288in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
289``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',

308AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
309
310A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
311and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
7260457b
RF
312distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
313resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
314of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
315When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
316apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
317derivative works of the Document.
3d3df9e1

318
319If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
7260457b
RF
320copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
321the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
322covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
323electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.

328TRANSLATION
329
330Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
331distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
332Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
333permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
334translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
335original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
7260457b
RF
336translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
337Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
338the original English version of this License and the original versions
339of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
340the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
341or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
342
343If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
344``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
345its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
346title.
