33
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or
34
other written document <quote>free</quote> in the sense of
35
freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and
36
redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either
37
commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License
38
preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for
39
their work, while not being considered responsible for
40
modifications made by others.
44
This License is a kind of <quote>copyleft</quote>, which means
45
that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in
46
the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License,
47
which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
51
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
52
free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
53
free program should come with manuals providing the same
54
freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
55
to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
56
regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
57
printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
58
whose purpose is instruction or reference.

This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
65
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
66
distributed under the terms of this License. The
67
<quote>Document</quote>, below, refers to any such manual or

as <quote>you</quote>.

80
A <quote>Secondary Section</quote> is a named appendix or a
81
front-matter section of the <link
82
linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> that deals exclusively
83
with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the
84
Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related
85
matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within
86
that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
87
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
88
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
89
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of
90
legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position

112
A <quote>Transparent</quote> copy of the <link
113
linkend="fdl-document"> Document</link> means a machine-readable
114
copy, represented in a format whose specification is available
115
to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited
116
directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for
117
images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for
118
drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is
119
suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic
120
translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
121
formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format
122
whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
123
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy
124
that is not <quote>Transparent</quote> is called
125
<quote>Opaque</quote>.
129
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
130
plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
131
format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
132
standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human
133
modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF,
134
proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
135
proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD
136
and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the

machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for

output purposes only.

hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in
145
the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title

You may copy and distribute the <link

157
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
158
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License

applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that
160
you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this
161

162
control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or
163
distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for
164
copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you
165
must also follow the conditions in <link

178
If you publish printed copies of the <link

180
and the Document's license notice requires <link
181

182
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these
183
Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
184
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also
185
clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these
186
copies. The front cover must present the full title with all
187
words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
188
other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes
189
limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
190
<link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> and satisfy these
191
conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
197

198
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto

you must either include a machine-readable <link

208
each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a
209
publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a

complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added
211
material, which the general network-using public has access to
212
download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network
213
protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take
214
reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
215
copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
216
remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
217
year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly
