1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
82
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
83
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
84
under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
85
such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is

This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
84
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
85
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
86
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
87
work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
88
refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
89
licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
90
copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
88
93
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
89
94
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
93
98
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
94
99
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
95
100
(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
96
within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
101
within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
97
102
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
98
103
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
99
104
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
103
108
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
104
109
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
105
that says that the Document is released under this License.
110
that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
111
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
112
allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
113
Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
114
Sections then there are none.
107
116
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
108
117
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
109
the Document is released under this License.
118
the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
119
be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
111
121
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
112
122
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
113
general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
123
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
114
124
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
115
125
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
116
126
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
117
127
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
118
128
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
119
format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
120
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
121
not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
129
format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
130
or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
131
An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
132
of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
123
134
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
124
135
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
125
136
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
126
HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
127
PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
128
by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
137
HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
138
transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
139
include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
140
proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
129
141
processing tools are not generally available, and the
130
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
142
machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
143
processors for output purposes only.
133
145
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
134
146
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
137
149
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
138
150
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
152
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
153
title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
154
text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
155
specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
156
"Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
157
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
158
section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
160
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
161
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
162
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
163
License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
164
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
165
no effect on the meaning of this License.

2. VERBATIM COPYING
157
184
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
159
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
160
and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
161
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
186
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
187
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
188
Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
189
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
162
190
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
163
191
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
164
192
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
176
204
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
177
205
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
178
206
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
179
a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
180
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
181
general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
182
charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
183
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
184
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
185
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
186
until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
187
copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
207
a computer-network location from which the general network-using
208
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
209
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
210
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
211
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
212
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
213
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
214
Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
215
edition to the public.
190
217
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
191
218
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give

227
there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
255
there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
228
256
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
229
257
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
230
258
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
235
263
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
236
264
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
237
265
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
238
K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
239
preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
240
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements

You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
258
287
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
259

7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
320
348
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
321
349
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
322
distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
323
of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
324
compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
325
License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
326
with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
327
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
350
distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
351
resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
352
of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
353
When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
354
apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
355
derivative works of the Document.
329
357
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
330
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
331
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
332
covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
333
Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
358
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
359
the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
360
covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
361
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.

Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole

342
372
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
343
373
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
344
translation of this License provided that you also include the
345
original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
346
between the translation and the original English version of this
347
License, the original English version will prevail.
374
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
375
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include

the original English version of this License and the original versions
377
of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
378
the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
379
or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
381
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
382
"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
383
its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual

If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
395
instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no
