18 PREAMBLE
19
20 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
21 functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
22 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
23 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
24 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
25 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
26 for 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, in any medium, that
45 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
46 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
47 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
48 work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
49 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
50 licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
51 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
52 under copyright law.
53
54 A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
55 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
56 modifications and/or translated into another language.
57
58 A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section
59 of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
60 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
61 subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
62 directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
63 part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
64 any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
65 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
66 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
67 them.
68
69 The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
70 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
71 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
72 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
73 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
74 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
75 Sections then there are none.
76
77 The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
78 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
79 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
80 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
81
82 A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
83 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
84 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
85 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
86 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
87 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
88 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
89 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
90 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
91 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
92 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
93 of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
94
95 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
96 @sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
97 format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
98 @acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
99 PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification. Examples
100 of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
101 @acronym{JPG}. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
102 read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
103 @acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
104 not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
105 PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
106 output purposes only.
107
108 The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
109 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
110 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
111 formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
112 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
113 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
114
115 The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies
116 of the Document to the public.
117
118 A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
119 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
120 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
121 specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
122 ``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
123 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
124 section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
125
126 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
127 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
128 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
129 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
130 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
131 no effect on the meaning of this License.
132
133 @item
134 VERBATIM COPYING
135
136 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
137 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
138 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
139 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
140 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
141 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
142 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
143 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
144 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
145
146 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
147 you may publicly display copies.
148
149 @item
150 COPYING IN QUANTITY
151
152 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
153 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
154 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
155 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
156 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
157 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
158 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
159 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
160 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
161 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
162 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
163 as verbatim copying in other respects.
164
165 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
166 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
167 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
168 pages.
169
170 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
171 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
172 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
173 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
174 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
175 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
176 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
177 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
178 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
179 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
180 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
181 edition to the public.
182
183 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
184 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
185 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
186
187 @item
188 MODIFICATIONS
189
190 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
191 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
192 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
193 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
194 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
195 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
196
197 @enumerate A
198 @item
199 Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
200 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
201 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
202 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
203 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
204
205 @item
206 List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
207 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
208 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
209 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
210 unless they release you from this requirement.
211
212 @item
213 State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
214 Modified Version, as the publisher.
215
216 @item
217 Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
218
219 @item
220 Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
221 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
222
223 @item
224 Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
225 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
226 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
227
228 @item
229 Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
230 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
231
232 @item
233 Include an unaltered copy of this License.
234
235 @item
236 Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
237 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
238 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
239 there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
240 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
241 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
242 Version as stated in the previous sentence.
243
244 @item
245 Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
246 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
247 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
248 it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
249 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
250 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
251 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
252
253 @item
254 For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve
255 the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
256 substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
257 dedications given therein.
258
259 @item
260 Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
261 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
262 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
263
264 @item
265 Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
266 may not be included in the Modified Version.
267
268 @item
269 Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or
270 to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
271
272 @item
273 Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
274 @end enumerate
275
276 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
277 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
278 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
279 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
280 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
281 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
282
283 You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
284 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
285 parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
286 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
287 standard.
288
289 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
290 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
291 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
292 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
293 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
294 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
295 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
296 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
297 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
298
299 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
300 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
301 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
302
303 @item
304 COMBINING DOCUMENTS
305
306 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
307 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
308 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
309 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
310 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
311 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
312
313 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
314 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
315 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
316 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
317 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
318 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
319 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
320 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
321
322 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
323 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
324 ``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
325 and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all
326 sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
327
328 @item
329 COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
330
331 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
332 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
333 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
334 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
335 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
336
337 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
338 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
339 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
340 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
341
342 @item
343 AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
344
345 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
346 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
347 distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
348 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
349 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
350 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
351 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
352 derivative works of the Document.
353
354 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
355 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
356 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
357 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
358 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
359 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
360 aggregate.
361
362 @item
363 TRANSLATION
364
365 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
366 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
367 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
368 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
369 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
370 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
371 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
372 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
373 the original English version of this License and the original versions
374 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
375 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
376 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
377
378 If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
379 ``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
380 its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
381 title.
382
383 @item
384 TERMINATION
385
386 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
387 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
388 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
389 will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
390
391 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
392 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
393 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
394 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
395 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
396 60 days after the cessation.
397
398 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
399 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
400 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
401 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
402 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
403 your receipt of the notice.
404
405 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
406 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
407 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
408 reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
409 not give you any rights to use it.
410
411 @item
412 FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
413
414 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
415 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
416 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
417 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
418 @uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
419
420 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
421 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
422 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
423 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
424 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
425 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
426 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
427 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
428 specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
429 License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
430 version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
431 Document.

433 @item
434 RELICENSING
435
436 ``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site'' (or ``MMC Site'') means any
437 World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
438 provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
439 public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
440 ``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration'' (or ``MMC'') contained in the
441 site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
442 site.
443
444 ``CC-BY-SA'' means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
445 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
446 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
447 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
448 published by that same organization.
449
450 ``Incorporate'' means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
451 in part, as part of another Document.
452
453 An MMC is ``eligible for relicensing'' if it is licensed under this
454 License, and if all works that were first published under this License
455 somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole
456 or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections,
457 and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
458
459 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
460 under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
461 provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

468 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
469 the License in the document and put the following copyright and
470 license notices just after the title page:
471
472 @smallexample
473 @group
474 Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{your name}.
475 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
476 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
477 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
478 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
479 Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
480 Free Documentation License''.
481 @end group

493 @end smallexample
494
495 If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
496 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
497 situation.
498
499 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
500 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
501 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
502 to permit their use in free software.
