The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other

functional and useful document <quote>free</quote>
58
in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to
59
copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either
60
commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for
61
the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
62
being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
66
This License is a kind of <quote>copyleft</quote>,
67
which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be
68
free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License,
69
which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
73
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
74
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
75
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
76
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
77
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
78
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License

principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

<title>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
87
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
88
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
89
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
90
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
91
work under the conditions stated herein. The <quote>Document</quote>,
92
below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is

a licensee, and is addressed as <quote>you</quote>.

You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
95
way requiring permission under copyright law.

106
A <quote>Secondary Section</quote>
107
is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals
108
exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the
109
Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and
110
contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject.
111
(Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary
112
Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a
113
matter of historical connection with the subject or with related
114
matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political
115
position regarding them.

The <quote>Invariant Sections</quote>
120
are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being
121
those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document
122
is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above
123
definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as
124
Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the
125
Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

The <quote>Cover Texts</quote> are certain short passages of text that

A <quote>Transparent</quote> copy of the Document means a

represented in a format whose specification is available to the
141
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
142
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed

144
available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text

suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise
147
Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been
148
arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers
149
is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for
150
any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not

ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML

or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
159
HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of

transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
161
include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by

proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or

<title>VERBATIM COPYING</title>
206
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
207
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
208
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
209
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
210
other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not
211
use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
212
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may
213
accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a
214
large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in

<title>COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
228
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
229
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
230
Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
231
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts:
232
Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back
233
cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the
234
publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title
235
with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
236
other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited
237
to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
238
satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
244
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
245
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
250
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
251
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
252
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque
253
copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using
254
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
255
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
256
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
257
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
258
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
259
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute
260
an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
261
edition to the public.
265
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
266
the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,

History section of the Document). You may use the same title as
293
a previous version if the original publisher of that version
299
List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
300
entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the
301
Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
302
authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has
303
fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
308
State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified

the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
359
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
360
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
361
it was based on. These may be placed in the <quote>History</quote>
363
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
364
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
365
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
370
For any section Entitled <quote>Acknowledgements</quote> or

<quote>Dedications</quote>,
372
Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section
373
all the substance and tone of each of the contributor

acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in
380
their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the
381
equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
386
Delete any section Entitled <quote>Endorsements</quote>. Such a

not be included in the Modified Version.
393
Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled

or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
400
Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
406
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
407
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
408
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or
409
all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to
410
the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license
411
notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
415
You may add a section Entitled <quote>Endorsements</quote>, provided
417
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
418
parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
419
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and
425
a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the
426
list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
427
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
428
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document
429
already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by

behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one,
