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

APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
42
 
43
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
44
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
45
under the terms of this License.  The ``Document'', below, refers to any
46
such manual or work.  Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
47
addressed as ``you.''
48
 
49
A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
50
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
51
modifications and/or translated into another language.
52
 
53
A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
54
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
55
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
56
(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
57
within that overall subject.  (For example, if the Document is in part a
58
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
59
mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of historical
60
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
61
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
62
them.
63
 
64
The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
65
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
66
that says that the Document is released under this License.
67
 
68
The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
69
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
70
the Document is released under this License.
71
 
72
A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
73
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
74
general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
75
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
76
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
77
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
78
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
79
to text formatters.  A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
80
format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
81
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.  A copy that is
82
not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque.''
83
 
84
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
85
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
86
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
87
HTML designed for human modification.  Opaque formats include
88
PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
89
by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
90
processing tools are not generally available, and the
91
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
92
purposes only.
93
 
94
The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
95
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
96
this License requires to appear in the title page.  For works in
97
formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
98
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
99
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

VERBATIM COPYING
103
 
104
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
105
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
106
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
107
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
108
conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You may not use
109
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
110
copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However, you may accept
111
compensation in exchange for copies.  If you distribute a large enough
112
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
113
 
114
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
115
you may publicly display copies.

118
COPYING IN QUANTITY
119
 
120
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
121
and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
122
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
123
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
124
the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
125
you as the publisher of these copies.  The front cover must present
126
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
127
visible.  You may add other material on the covers in addition.
128
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
129
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
130
as verbatim copying in other respects.
131
 
132
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
133
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
134
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
135
pages.
136
 
137
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
138
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
139
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
140
a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
141
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
142
general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
143
charge using public-standard network protocols.  If you use the latter
144
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
145
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
146
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
147
until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
148
copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
149
the public.
150
 
151
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
152
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
153
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

MODIFICATIONS
157
 
158
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
159
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
160
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
161
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
162
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
163
of it.  In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
164
 
165
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
166
   from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
167
   (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
168
   of the Document).  You may use the same title as a previous version
169
   if the original publisher of that version gives permission.@*
170
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
171
   responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
172
   Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
173
   Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).@*
174
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
175
   Modified Version, as the publisher.@*
176
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.@*
177
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
178
   adjacent to the other copyright notices.@*
179
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
180
   giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
181
   terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.@*
182
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
183
   and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.@*
184
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.@*
185
I. Preserve the section entitled ``History'', and its title, and add to
186
   it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
187
   publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page.  If
188
   there is no section entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
189
   stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
190
   given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
191
   Version as stated in the previous sentence.@*
192
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
193
   public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
194
   the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
195
   it was based on.  These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
196
   You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
197
   least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
198
   publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.@*
199
K. In any section entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
200
   preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
201
   substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
202
   and/or dedications given therein.@*
203
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
204
   unaltered in their text and in their titles.  Section numbers
205
   or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.@*
206
M. Delete any section entitled ``Endorsements.''  Such a section
207
   may not be included in the Modified Version.@*
208
N. Do not retitle any existing section as ``Endorsements''
209
   or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.@*
210
@sp 1
211
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
212
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
213
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
214
of these sections as invariant.  To do this, add their titles to the
215
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
216
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
217
 
218
You may add a section entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
219
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
220
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
221
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
222
standard.
223
 
224
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
225
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
226
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one passage of
227
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
228
through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the Document already
229
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
230
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
231
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
232
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
233
 
234
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
235
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
236
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

COMBINING DOCUMENTS
240
 
241
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
242
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
243
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
244
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
245
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
246
license notice.
247
 
248
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
249
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
250
copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
251
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
252
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
253
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
254
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
255
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
256
 
257
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled ``History''
258
in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
259
``History''; likewise combine any sections entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
260
and any sections entitled ``Dedications.''  You must delete all sections
261
entitled ``Endorsements.''

COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
265
 
266
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
267
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
268
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
269
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
270
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
271
 
272
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
273
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
274
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
275
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
279
 
280
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
281
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
282
distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
283
of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
284
compilation.  Such a compilation is called an ``aggregate'', and this
285
License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
286
with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
287
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
288
 
289
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
290
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
291
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
292
covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
293
Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.

TRANSLATION
297
 
298
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
299
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
300
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
301
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
302
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
303
original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
304
translation of this License provided that you also include the
305
original English version of this License.  In case of a disagreement
306
between the translation and the original English version of this
307
License, the original English version will prevail.

TERMINATION

312
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
313
as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other attempt to
314
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
315
automatically terminate your rights under this License.  However,
316
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
317
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
318
parties remain in full compliance.

FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
322
 
323
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
324
of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
325
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
326
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
327
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
328
 
329
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
330
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
331
License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
332
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
333
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
334
Free Software Foundation.  If the Document does not specify a version
335
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
336
as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

362
``Front-Cover Texts being @var{list}''; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
363
 
364
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
365
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
366
free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
367
to permit their use in free software.
