18: PREAMBLE
19:
20: The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
21: written document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
22: the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
23: modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
24: this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
25: credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
26: modifications made by others.
27:
28: This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
29: works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
30: complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
31: license designed for free software.
32:
33: We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
34: software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
35: program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
36: software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
37: it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
38: whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
39: principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
40:
41: @item
42: APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
43:
44: This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
45: notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
46: under the terms of this License. The ``Document'', below, refers to any
47: such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
48: addressed as ``you''.
49:
50: A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
51: Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
52: modifications and/or translated into another language.
53:
54: A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
55: the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
56: publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
57: (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
58: within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
59: textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
60: mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
61: connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
62: commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
63: them.
64:
65: The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
66: are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
67: that says that the Document is released under this License.
68:
69: The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
70: as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
71: the Document is released under this License.
72:
73: A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
74: represented in a format whose specification is available to the
75: general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
76: straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
77: pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
78: drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
79: for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
80: to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
81: format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
82: subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
83: not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
84:
85: Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
86: @sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input format,
87: @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
88: @acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML} designed
89: for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript,
90: @acronym{PDF}, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
91: proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} for which
92: the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are not generally available,
93: and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML} produced by some word
94: processors for output purposes only.
95:
96: The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
97: plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
98: this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
99: formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
100: the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
101: preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
102:
103: @item
104: VERBATIM COPYING
105:
106: You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
107: commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
108: copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
109: to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
110: conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
111: technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
112: copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
113: compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
114: number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
115:
116: You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
117: you may publicly display copies.
118:
119: @item
120: COPYING IN QUANTITY
121:
122: If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
123: and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
124: the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
125: Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
126: the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
127: you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
128: the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
129: visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
130: Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
131: the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
132: as verbatim copying in other respects.
133:
134: If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
135: legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
136: reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
137: pages.
138:
139: If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
140: more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
141: copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
142: a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
143: Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
144: general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
145: charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
146: option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
147: distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
148: Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
149: until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
150: copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
151: the public.
152:
153: It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
154: Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
155: them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
156:
157: @item
158: MODIFICATIONS
159:
160: You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
161: the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
162: the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
163: Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
164: and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
165: of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
166:
167: @enumerate A
168: @item
169: Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
170: from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
171: (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
172: of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
173: if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
174:
175: @item
176: List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
177: responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
178: Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
179: Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
180:
181: @item
182: State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
183: Modified Version, as the publisher.
184:
185: @item
186: Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
187:
188: @item
189: Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
190: adjacent to the other copyright notices.
191:
192: @item
193: Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
194: giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
195: terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
196:
197: @item
198: Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
199: and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
200:
201: @item
202: Include an unaltered copy of this License.
203:
204: @item
205: Preserve the section entitled ``History'', and its title, and add to
206: it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
207: publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
208: there is no section entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
209: stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
210: given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
211: Version as stated in the previous sentence.
212:
213: @item
214: Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
215: public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
216: the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
217: it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
218: You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
219: least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
220: publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
221:
222: @item
223: In any section entitled ``Acknowledgments'' or ``Dedications'',
224: preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
225: substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgments
226: and/or dedications given therein.
227:
228: @item
229: Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
230: unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
231: or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
232:
233: @item
234: Delete any section entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
235: may not be included in the Modified Version.
236:
237: @item
238: Do not retitle any existing section as ``Endorsements''
239: or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
240: @end enumerate
241:
242: If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
243: appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
244: copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
245: of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
246: list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
247: These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
248:
249: You may add a section entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
250: nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
251: parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
252: been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
253: standard.
254:
255: You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
256: passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
257: of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
258: Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
259: through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
260: includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
261: by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
262: you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
263: permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
264:
265: The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
266: give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
267: imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
268:
269: @item
270: COMBINING DOCUMENTS
271:
272: You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
273: License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
274: versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
275: Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
276: list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
277: license notice.
278:
279: The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
280: multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
281: copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
282: different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
283: adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
284: author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
285: Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
286: Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
287:
288: In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled ``History''
289: in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
290: ``History''; likewise combine any sections entitled ``Acknowledgments'',
291: and any sections entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all sections
292: entitled ``Endorsements.''
293:
294: @item
295: COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
296:
297: You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
298: released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
299: License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
300: the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
301: verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
302:
303: You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
304: it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
305: License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
306: other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
307:
308: @item
309: AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
310:
311: A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
312: and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
313: distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
314: of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
315: compilation. Such a compilation is called an ``aggregate'', and this
316: License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
317: with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
318: are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
319:
320: If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
321: copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
322: of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
323: covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
324: Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
325:
326: @item
327: TRANSLATION
328:
329: Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
330: distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
331: Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
332: permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
333: translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
334: original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
335: translation of this License provided that you also include the
336: original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
337: between the translation and the original English version of this
338: License, the original English version will prevail.
339:
340: @item
341: TERMINATION
342:
343: You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
344: as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
345: copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
346: automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
347: parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
348: License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
349: parties remain in full compliance.
350:
351: @item
352: FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
353:
354: The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
355: of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
356: versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
357: differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
358: @uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
359:
360: Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
361: If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
362: License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
363: following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
364: of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
365: Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
366: number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
367: as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

397: If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
398: recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
399: free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
400: to permit their use in free software.
