42.SH 0. PREAMBLE
43
44The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
45written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
46the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
47modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
48this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
49credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
50modifications made by others.
51
52This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
53works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
54complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
55license designed for free software.
56
57We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
58software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
59program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
60software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
61it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
62whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
63principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
64
65.SH 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
66
67This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
68notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
69under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
70such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
71addressed as "you."
72
73A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
74Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
75modifications and/or translated into another language.
76
77A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
78the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
79publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
80(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
81within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
82textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
83mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
84connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
85commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
86them.
87
88The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
89are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
90that says that the Document is released under this License.
91
92The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
93as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
94the Document is released under this License.
95
96A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
97represented in a format whose specification is available to the
98general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
99straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
100pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
101drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
102for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
103to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
104format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
105subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
106not "Transparent" is called "Opaque."
107
108Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
109ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
110or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
111HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
112PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
113by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
114processing tools are not generally available, and the
115machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
116purposes only.
117
118The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
119plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
120this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
121formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
122the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
123preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
124
125.SH 2. VERBATIM COPYING
126
127You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
128commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
129copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
130to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
131conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
132technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
133copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
134compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
135number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
136
137You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
138you may publicly display copies.
139
140.SH 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
141
142If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
143and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
144the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
145Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
146the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
147you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
148the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
149visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
150Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
151the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
152as verbatim copying in other respects.
153
154If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
155legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
156reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
157pages.
158
159If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
160more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
161copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
162a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
163Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
164general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
165charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
166option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
167distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
168Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
169until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
170copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
171the public.
172
173It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
174Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
175them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
176
177.SH 4. MODIFICATIONS
178
179You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
180the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
181the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
182Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
183and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
184of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
185.TP
186A.
187Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
188from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
189(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
190of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
191if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
192.TP
193B.
194List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
195responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
196Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
197Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
198.TP
199C.
200State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
201Modified Version, as the publisher.
202.TP
203D.
204Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
205.TP
206E.
207Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
208adjacent to the other copyright notices.
209.TP
210F.
211Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
212giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
213terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
214.TP
215G.
216Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
217and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
218.TP
219H.
220Include an unaltered copy of this License.
221.TP
222I.
223Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
224it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
225publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
226there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
227stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
228given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
229Version as stated in the previous sentence.
230.TP
231J.
232Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
233public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
234the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
235it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
236You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
237least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
238publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
239.TP
240K.
241In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
242preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
243substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
244and/or dedications given therein.
245.TP
246L.
247Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
248unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
249or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
250.TP
251M.
252Delete any section entitled "Endorsements." Such a section
253may not be included in the Modified Version.
254.TP
255N.
256Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
257or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
258.PP
259If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
260appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
261copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
262of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
263list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
264These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
265
266You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
267nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
268parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
269been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
270standard.
271
272You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
273passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
274of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
275Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
276through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
277includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
278by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
279you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
280permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
281
282The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
283give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
284imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
285
286.SH 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
287
288You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
289License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
290versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
291Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
292list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
293license notice.
294
295The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
296multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
297copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
298different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
299adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
300author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
301Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
302Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
303
304In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
305in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
306"History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
307and any sections entitled "Dedications." You must delete all sections
308entitled "Endorsements."
309
310.SH 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
311
312You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
313released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
314License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
315the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
316verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
317
318You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
319it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
320License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
321other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
322
323.SH 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
324
325A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
326and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
327distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
328of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
329compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
330License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
331with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
332are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
333
334If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
335copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
336of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
337covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
338Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
339
340.SH 8. TRANSLATION
341
342Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
343distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
344Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
345permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
346translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
347original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
348translation of this License provided that you also include the
349original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
350between the translation and the original English version of this
351License, the original English version will prevail.
352
353.SH 9. TERMINATION
354
355You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
356as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
357copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
358automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
359parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
360License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
361parties remain in full compliance.
362
363.SH 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
364
365The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
366of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
367versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
368differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
369\fBhttp://www.gnu.org/copyleft/\fP.
370
371Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
372If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
373License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
374following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
375of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
376Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
377number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
378as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
379
380
381.SH ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
382
383To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
384the License in the document and put the following copyright and
385license notices just after the title page:
386
387.hy 0
388.na
389Copyright
390.if t \(co
391.if n (c)
392[\fIyear\fP] [\fIyour name\fP].
393Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
394under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1
395or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
396with the Invariant Sections being [\fIlist their titles\fP], with the
397Front-Cover Texts being [\fIlist\fP], and with the Back-Cover Texts
398being [\fIlist\fP].
399A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
400Free Documentation License."
401.ad
402.hy 1
403
404If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
405instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no
406Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of
407"Front-Cover Texts being [\fIlist\fP]"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
408
409If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
410recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
411free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
412to permit their use in free software.
