Both covers must also - clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these - copies. The front cover must present the full title with all - words of the title equally prominent and visible.

If the Document already includes a cover text for the + same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same + entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may + replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher + that added the old one. + + + The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give + permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply + endorsement of any Modified Version. + + + 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS + + + You may combine the Document with other documents released under this + License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, + provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections + of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as + Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that + you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. + + + The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple + identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there + are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, + make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in + parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section + if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the + section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of + the combined work. + + + In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in + the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; + likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any + sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled + "Endorsements". + + + 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS + + + You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents + released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this + License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in + the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for + verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. + + + You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute + it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this + License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other + respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. + + + 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS + + + A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and + independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or + distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting + from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the + compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the + Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the + other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of + the Document. + + + If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies + of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire + aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket + the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers + if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on + printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. + + + 8. TRANSLATION + + + Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute + translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing + Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from + their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all + Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant + Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the + license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided + that you also include the original English version of this License and the + original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a + disagreement between the translation and the original version of this + License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. + + + If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", + "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its + Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title. + + + 9. TERMINATION + + + You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as + expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, + modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will + automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties + who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not + have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full + compliance. + + + 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE + + + The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU + Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be + similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to + address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. + + + Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If + the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License + "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the + terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later + version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software + Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this + License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the + Free Software Foundation. + + + ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents + + + To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the + License in the document and put the following copyright and license + notices just after the title page: + +
