16 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.

41 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.

102 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.
116 @sp 1
117 @item
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.
154 @sp 1
155 @item
156 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.
237 @sp 1
238 @item
239 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.''
262 @sp 1
263 @item
264 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.
276 @sp 1
277 @item
278 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.
294 @sp 1
295 @item
296 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.
308 @sp 1
309 @item
310 TERMINATION
311
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.

321 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.

339
340 @unnumberedsec ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
341
342 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
343 the License in the document and put the following copyright and
344 license notices just after the title page:
345
346 @smallexample
347 @group
348 Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{your name}.
349 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
350 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1
351 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
352 with the Invariant Sections being @var{list their titles}, with the
353 Front-Cover Texts being @var{list}, and with the Back-Cover Texts being @var{list}.
354 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
355 Free Documentation License."
356 @end group
357 @end smallexample
358
359 If you have no Invariant Sections, write ``with no Invariant Sections''
360 instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no
361 Front-Cover Texts, write ``no Front-Cover Texts'' instead of
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.
