Secondarily, this License - preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for - their work, while not being considered responsible for - modifications made by others. - - - - This License is a kind of copyleft, which means - that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in - the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, - which is a copyleft license designed for free software. - - - - We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for - free software, because free software needs free documentation: a - free program should come with manuals providing the same - freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited - to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, - regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a - printed book. We recommend this License principally for works - whose purpose is instruction or reference. - - - - 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS - - This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a - notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be - distributed under the terms of this License. The - Document, below, refers to any such manual or - work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed - as you. - - - - A Modified Version of the Document means any work - containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied - verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another - language. - - - - A Secondary Section is a named appendix or a - front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively - with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the - Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related - matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within - that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a - textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any - mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical - connection with the subject or with related matters, or of - legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position - regarding them. - - - - The Invariant Sections are certain Secondary Sections whose titles - are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the - notice that says that the Document is released under this - License. - - - - The Cover Texts are certain short passages of - text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, - in the notice that says that the Document is released under this - License. - - - - A Transparent copy of the Document means a machine-readable - copy, represented in a format whose specification is available - to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited - directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for - images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for - drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is - suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic - translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text - formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format - whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage - subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy - that is not Transparent is called - Opaque. - - - - Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include - plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input - format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and - standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human - modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, - proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by - proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD - and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the - machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for - output purposes only. - - - - The Title Page means, for a printed book, the - title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to - hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in - the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title - page as such, Title Page means the text near the - most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the - beginning of the body of the text. - - - - - 2. VERBATIM COPYING - - You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either - commercially or non-commercially, provided that this License, the - copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License - applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that - you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this - License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or - control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or - distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for - copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you - must also follow the conditions in section 3. - - - - You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated - above, and you may publicly display copies. - - - - - 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY - - If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, - and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose - the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these - Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and - Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. 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. You may add - other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes - limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the - Document and satisfy these - conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other - respects. - - - - If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit - legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit - reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto - adjacent pages. - - - - If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, - you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with - each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a - publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a - complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added - material, which the general network-using public has access to - download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network - protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take - reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque - copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will - remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one - year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly - or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the - public. - - - - It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors - of the Document well before - redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance - to provide you with an updated version of the Document. - - - - - 4. MODIFICATIONS - - You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of - sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release - the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the - Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus - licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version - to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do - these things in the Modified Version: - - - - - - A - - Use in the Title - Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct - from that of the Document, and from those of - previous versions (which should, if there were any, be - listed in the History section of the Document). You may - use the same title as a previous version if the original - publisher of that version gives permission. - - - - - - - B - - List on the Title - Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities - responsible for authorship of the modifications in the - Modified Version, - together with at least five of the principal authors of - the Document (all of - its principal authors, if it has less than five). - - - - - - - C - - State on the Title - Page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the - publisher. - - - - - - - D - - Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. - - - - - - - E - - Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications - adjacent to the other copyright notices. - - - - - - - F - - Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a - license notice giving the public permission to use the - Modified Version under - the terms of this License, in the form shown in the - Addendum below. - - - - - - - G - - Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and - required Cover - Texts given in the Document's license notice. - - - - - - - H - - Include an unaltered copy of this License. - - - - - - - I - - Preserve the section entitled History, and - its title, and add to it an item stating at least the - title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on - the Title Page. If - there is no section entitled History in the - Document, create one - stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the - Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item - describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous - sentence. - - - - - - - J - - Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access - to a Transparent - copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations - given in the Document for previous versions it was based - on. These may be placed in the History - section. You may omit a network location for a work that - was published at least four years before the Document - itself, or if the original publisher of the version it - refers to gives permission. - - - - - - - K - - In any section entitled Acknowledgements or - Dedications, preserve the section's title, - and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of - each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or - dedications given therein. - - - - - - - L - - Preserve all the Invariant - Sections of the Document, unaltered in their - text and in their titles. Section numbers or the - equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. - - - - - - - M - - Delete any section entitled - Endorsements. Such a section may not be - included in the Modified - Version. - - - - - - - N - - Do not retitle any existing section as - Endorsements or to conflict in title with - any Invariant - Section. - - - - - - - If the Modified Version - includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as - Secondary Sections and - contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your - option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To - do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the - Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be - distinct from any other section titles. - - - - You may add a section entitled Endorsements, - provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various - parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text - has been approved by an organization as the authoritative - definition of a standard. - - - - You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage - of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of - the list of Cover Texts - in the Modified Version. - Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text - may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one - entity. 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. - - - - 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. - - + + Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, + Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, + Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

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.
