<para><emphasis role="bold">PREAMBLE</emphasis></para>
34
<para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and
35
useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom
36
to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or
37
noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
38
to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications
39
made by others.</para>
40
<para>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the
41
document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General
42
Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.</para>
43
<para>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software,
44
because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals
45
providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to
46
software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
47
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for
48
works whose purpose is instruction or reference.</para>
51
<para><emphasis role="bold">APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</emphasis></para>
52
<para id="gfdl-doc">This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
53
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the
54
terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license,
55
unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
56
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
57
licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or
58
distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.</para>
59
<para id="gfdl-mod-ver">A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
60
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or
61
translated into another language.</para>
62
<para id="gfdl-secnd-sect">A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter
63
section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers
64
or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and
65
contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the
66
Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
67
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the
68
subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or
69
political position regarding them.</para>
70
<para id="gfdl-inv-sect">The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
71
titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says
72
that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above
73
definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The
74
Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any
75
Invariant Sections then there are none.</para>
76
<para id="gfdl-cov-text">The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
77
listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the
78
Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and
79
a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.</para>
80
<para id="gfdl-transparent">A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable
81
copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public,
82
that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors
83
or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
84
available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for
85
automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A
86
copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup,
87
has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not
88
Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of
89
text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".</para>
90
<para>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without
91
markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available
92
DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human
93
modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque
94
formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word
95
processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
96
available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
97
processors for output purposes only.</para>
98
<para id="gfdl-title-page">The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page
99
itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this
100
License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any
101
title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of
102
the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.</para>
103
<para id="gfdl-entitled">A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
104
whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that
105
translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name
106
mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or
107
"History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means
108
that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.</para>
109
<para>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that
110
this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be
111
included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any
112
other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on
113
the meaning of this License.</para>
116
<para><emphasis role="bold">VERBATIM COPYING</emphasis></para>
117
<para>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or
118
noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license
119
notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and
120
that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
121
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies
122
you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If
123
you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in
125
<para>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly
126
display copies.</para>
129
<para><emphasis role="bold">COPYING IN QUANTITY</emphasis></para>
130
<para>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers)
131
of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires
132
Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
133
these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the
134
back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of
135
these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
136
equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
137
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
138
Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.</para>
139
<para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should
140
put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue
141
the rest onto adjacent pages.</para>
142
<para>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
143
you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy,
144
or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general
145
network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a
146
complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter
147
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
148
copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at
149
the stated location 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 the public.</para>
151
<para>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well
152
before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you
153
with an updated version of the Document.</para>
156
<para><emphasis role="bold">MODIFICATIONS</emphasis></para>
157
<para>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of
158
sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely
159
this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
160
distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it.
161
In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:</para>
162
<orderedlist id="gfdl-modif-cond" numeration="upperalpha">
163
<title>GNU FDL Modification Conditions</title>
165
<para>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from
166
that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if
167
there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use
168
the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version
169
gives permission.</para>
172
<para>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
173
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version,
174
together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its
175
principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.</para>
178
<para>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version,
179
as the publisher.</para>
182
<para>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.</para>
185
<para>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the
186
other copyright notices.</para>
189
<para>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving
190
the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this
191
License, in the form shown in the <link linkend="gfdl-addendum">Addendum</link> below.</para>
194
<para>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and
195
required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.</para>
198
<para>Include an unaltered copy of this License.</para>
201
<para>Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it
202
an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the
203
Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled
204
"History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and
205
publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item
206
describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.</para>
209
<para>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public
210
access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations
211
given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed
212
in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was
213
published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
214
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.</para>
217
<para>For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the
218
Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of
219
each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.</para>
222
<para>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their
223
text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered
224
part of the section titles.</para>
227
<para>Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be
228
included in the Modified Version.</para>
231
<para>Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to
232
conflict in title with any Invariant Section.</para>
235
<para>Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.</para>
238
<para>If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify
239
as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your
240
option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their
241
titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These
242
titles must be distinct from any other section titles.</para>
243
<para>You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but
244
endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of
245
peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
246
definition of a standard.</para>
247
<para>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up
248
to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified
249
Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by
250
(or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a
251
cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the
252
same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace
253
the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.</para>
254
<para>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission
255
to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.</para>
258
<para><emphasis role="bold">COMBINING DOCUMENTS</emphasis></para>
259
<para>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under
260
the terms defined in <link linkend="gfdl-4">section 4</link> above for modified
261
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of
262
all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of
263
your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.</para>
264
<para>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical
265
Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant
266
Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section
267
unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or
268
publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to
269
the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
270
combined work.</para>
271
<para>In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various
272
original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any
273
sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must
274
delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements".</para>
277
<para><emphasis role="bold">COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</emphasis></para>
278
<para>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released
279
under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various
280
documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you
281
follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all
282
other respects.</para>
283
<para>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it
284
individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the
285
extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim
286
copying of that document.</para>
289
<para><emphasis role="bold">AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</emphasis></para>
290
<para>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent
291
documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
292
"aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
293
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When
294
the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works
295
in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.</para>
296
<para>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the
297
Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the
298
Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the
299
aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
300
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.</para>
303
<para><emphasis role="bold">TRANSLATION</emphasis></para>
304
<para>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations
305
of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with
306
translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may
307
include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original
308
versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and
309
all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you
310
also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of
311
those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the
312
original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.</para>
313
<para>If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or
314
"History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically
315
require changing the actual title.</para>
318
<para><emphasis role="bold">TERMINATION</emphasis></para>
319
<para>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly
320
provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or
321
distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
322
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
323
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.</para>
326
<para><emphasis role="bold">FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE</emphasis></para>
327
<para>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free
328
Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to
329
the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.</para>
330
<para>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document
331
specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version"
332
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
333
specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by
334
the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this
335
