23 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
24 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
25
26 0. PREAMBLE
27
28 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
29 functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
30 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
31 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
32 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
33 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
34 for modifications made by others.
35
36 This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
37 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
38 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
39 license designed for free software.
40
41 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
42 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
43 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
44 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
45 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
46 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
47 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
48
49
50 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
51
52 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
54 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
55 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
56 work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
57 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
58 licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
59 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
60 under copyright law.
61
62 A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
63 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
64 modifications and/or translated into another language.
65
66 A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
67 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
68 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
69 subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
70 directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
71 part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
72 any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
73 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
74 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
75 them.
76
77 The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
78 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
79 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
80 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
81 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
82 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
83 Sections then there are none.
84
85 The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
86 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
87 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
88 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
89
90 A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
91 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
92 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
93 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
94 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
95 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
96 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
97 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
98 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
99 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
100 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
101 of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
102
103 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
104 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
105 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
106 HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
107 transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
108 include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
109 proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
110 processing tools are not generally available, and the
111 machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
112 processors for output purposes only.
113
114 The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
115 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
116 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
117 formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
118 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
119 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
120
121 The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of
122 the Document to the public.
123
124 A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
125 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
126 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
127 specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
128 "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
129 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
130 section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
131
132 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
133 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
134 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
135 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
136 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
137 no effect on the meaning of this License.
138
139 2. VERBATIM COPYING
140
141 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
142 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
143 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
144 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
145 other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
146 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
147 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
148 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
149 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
150
151 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
152 you may publicly display copies.
153
154
155 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
156
157 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
158 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
159 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
160 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
161 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
162 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
163 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
164 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
165 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
166 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
167 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
168 as verbatim copying in other respects.
169
170 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
171 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
172 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
173 pages.
174
175 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
176 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
177 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
178 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
179 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
180 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
181 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
182 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
183 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
184 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
185 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
186 edition to the public.
187
188 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
189 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to
190 give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
191 Document.
192
193
194 4. MODIFICATIONS
195
196 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
197 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
198 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
199 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
200 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
201 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
202
203 A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
204 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
205 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
206 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
207 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
208 B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
209 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
210 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
211 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
212 unless they release you from this requirement.
213 C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
214 Modified Version, as the publisher.
215 D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
216 E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
217 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
218 F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
219 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
220 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
221 G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
222 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
223 H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
224 I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add
225 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
226 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
227 there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
228 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
229 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
230 Version as stated in the previous sentence.
231 J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
232 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
233 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
234 it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
235 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
236 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
237 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
238 K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
239 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
240 the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
241 and/or dedications given therein.
242 L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
243 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
244 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
245 M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
246 may not be included in the Modified Version.
247 N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements"
248 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
249 O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
250
251 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
252 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
253 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
254 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
255 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
256 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
257
258 You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
259 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
260 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
261 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
262 standard.
263
264 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
265 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
266 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
267 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
268 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
269 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
270 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
271 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
272 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
273
274 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
275 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
276 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
277
278
279 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
280
281 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
282 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
283 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
284 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
285 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
286 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
287
288 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
289 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
290 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
291 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
292 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
293 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
294 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
295 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
296
297 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
298 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
299 "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
300 and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
301 Entitled "Endorsements".
302
303
304 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
305
306 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
307 documents released under this License, and replace the individual
308 copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
309 that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules
310 of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all
311 other respects.
312
313 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
314 distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
315 copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
316 License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
317 document.
318
319
320 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
321
322 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
323 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
324 distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
325 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
326 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
327 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
328 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
329 derivative works of the Document.
330
331 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
332 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
333 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
334 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
335 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
336 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
337 aggregate.
338
339
340 8. TRANSLATION
341
342 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
343 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
344 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
345 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
346 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
347 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
348 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
349 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
350 the original English version of this License and the original versions
351 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
352 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
353 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
354
355 If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
356 "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
357 its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
358 title.
359
360
361 9. TERMINATION
362
363 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
364 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
365 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
366 will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
367
368 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
369 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
370 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
371 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
372 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
373 60 days after the cessation.
374
375 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
376 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
377 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
378 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
379 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
380 your receipt of the notice.
381
382 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
383 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
384 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
385 reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
386 not give you any rights to use it.
387
388
389 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
390
391 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the
392 GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
393 will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
394 detail to address new problems or concerns. See
395 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
396
397 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
398 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
399 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
400 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
401 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
402 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
403 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
404 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
405 specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
406 License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
407 version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
408 Document.
409
410 11. RELICENSING
411
412 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
413 World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
414 provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
415 public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
416 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site
417 means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.
418
419 "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
420 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
421 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
422 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
423 published by that same organization.
424
425 "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in
426 part, as part of another Document.
427
428 An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
429 License, and if all works that were first published under this License
430 somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or
431 in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and
432 (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
433
434 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
435 under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
436 provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
437
438
439 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
440
441 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
442 the License in the document and put the following copyright and
443 license notices just after the title page:
444
445 Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
446 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
447 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
448 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
449 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
450 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
451 Free Documentation License".
452
453 If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
454 replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
455
456 with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
457 Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
458
459 If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
460 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
461 situation.
462
463 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
464 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
465 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
466 to permit their use in free software.
