17 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
18 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |

23 .SH 0. PREAMBLE | |
24 | |
25 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other | |
26 written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone | |
27 the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without | |
28 modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, | |
29 this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get | |
30 credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for | |
31 modifications made by others. | |
32 | |
33 This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative | |
34 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It | |
35 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft | |
36 license designed for free software. | |
37 | |
38 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free | |
39 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free | |
40 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the | |
41 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; | |
42 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or | |
43 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License | |
44 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. | |
45 | |
46 .SH 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS | |
47 | |
48 This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a | |
49 notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed | |
50 under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any | |
51 such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is | |
52 addressed as "you." | |
53 | |
54 A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the | |
55 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with | |
56 modifications and/or translated into another language. | |
57 | |
58 A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of | |
59 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the | |
60 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject | |
61 (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly | |
62 within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a | |
63 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any | |
64 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical | |
65 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, | |
66 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding | |
67 them. | |
68 | |
69 The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles | |
70 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice | |
71 that says that the Document is released under this License. | |
72 | |
73 The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, | |
74 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that | |
75 the Document is released under this License. | |
76 | |
77 A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, | |
78 represented in a format whose specification is available to the | |
79 general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and | |
80 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of | |
81 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available | |
82 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or | |
83 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input | |
84 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file | |
85 format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage | |
86 subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is | |
87 not "Transparent" is called "Opaque." | |
88 | |
89 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain | |
90 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML | |
91 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple | |
92 HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include | |
93 PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only | |
94 by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or | |
95 processing tools are not generally available, and the | |
96 machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output | |
97 purposes only. | |
98 | |
99 The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, | |
100 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material | |
101 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in | |
102 formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means | |
103 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, | |
104 preceding the beginning of the body of the text. | |
105 | |
106 .SH 2. VERBATIM COPYING | |
107 | |
108 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either | |
109 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the | |
110 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies | |
111 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other | |
112 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use | |
113 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further | |
114 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept | |
115 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough | |
116 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. | |
117 | |
118 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and | |
119 you may publicly display copies. | |
120 | |
121 .SH 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY | |
122 | |
123 If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, | |
124 and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose | |
125 the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover | |
126 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on | |
127 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify | |
128 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present | |
129 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and | |
130 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. | |
131 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve | |
132 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated | |
133 as verbatim copying in other respects. | |
134 | |
135 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit | |
136 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit | |
137 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent | |
138 pages. | |
139 | |
140 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering | |
141 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent | |
142 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy | |
143 a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete | |
144 Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the | |
145 general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no | |
146 charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter | |
147 option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin | |
148 distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this | |
149 Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location | |
150 until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque | |
151 copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to | |
152 the public. | |
153 | |
154 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the | |
155 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give | |
156 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. | |
157 | |
158 .SH 4. MODIFICATIONS | |
159 | |
160 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under | |
161 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release | |
162 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified | |
163 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution | |
164 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy | |
165 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: | |
166 .TP | |
167 A. | |
168 Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct | |
169 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions | |
170 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section | |
171 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version | |
172 if the original publisher of that version gives permission. | |
173 .TP | |
174 B. | |
175 List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities | |
176 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified | |
177 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the | |
178 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). | |
179 .TP | |
180 C. | |
181 State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the | |
182 Modified Version, as the publisher. | |
183 .TP | |
184 D. | |
185 Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. | |
186 .TP | |
187 E. | |
188 Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications | |
189 adjacent to the other copyright notices. | |
190 .TP | |
191 F. | |
192 Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice | |
193 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the | |
194 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. | |
195 .TP | |
196 G. | |
197 Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections | |
198 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. | |
199 .TP | |
200 H. | |
201 Include an unaltered copy of this License. | |
202 .TP | |
203 I. | |
204 Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to | |
205 it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and | |
206 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If | |
207 there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one | |
208 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as | |
209 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified | |
210 Version as stated in the previous sentence. | |
211 .TP | |
212 J. | |
213 Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for | |
214 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise | |
215 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions | |
216 it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. | |
217 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at | |
218 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original | |
219 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. | |
220 .TP | |
221 K. | |
222 In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", | |
223 preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the | |
224 substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements | |
225 and/or dedications given therein. | |
226 .TP | |
227 L. | |
228 Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, | |
229 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers | |
230 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. | |
231 .TP | |
232 M. | |
233 Delete any section entitled "Endorsements." Such a section | |
234 may not be included in the Modified Version. | |
235 .TP | |
236 N. | |
237 Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" | |
238 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. | |
239 .PP | |
240 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or | |
241 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material | |
242 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all | |
243 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the | |
244 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. | |
245 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. | |
246 | |
247 You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains | |
248 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various | |
249 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has | |
250 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a | |
251 standard. | |
252 | |
253 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a | |
254 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list | |
255 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of | |
256 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or | |
257 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already | |
258 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or | |
259 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, | |
260 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit | |
261 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. | |
262 | |
263 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License | |
264 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or | |
265 imply endorsement of any Modified Version. | |
266 | |
267 .SH 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS | |
268 | |
269 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this | |
270 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified | |
271 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the | |
272 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and | |
273 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its | |
274 license notice. | |
275 | |
276 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and | |
277 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single | |
278 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but | |
279 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by | |
280 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original | |
281 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. | |
282 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of | |
283 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. | |
284 | |
285 In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" | |
286 in the various original documents, forming one section entitled | |
287 "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", | |
288 and any sections entitled "Dedications." You must delete all sections | |
289 entitled "Endorsements." | |
290 | |
291 .SH 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS | |
292 | |
293 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents | |
294 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this | |
295 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in | |
296 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for | |
297 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. | |
298 | |
299 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute | |
300 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this | |
301 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all | |
302 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. | |
303 | |
304 .SH 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS | |
305 | |
306 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate | |
307 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or | |
308 distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version | |
309 of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the | |
310 compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this | |
311 License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled | |
312 with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they | |
313 are not themselves derivative works of the Document. | |
314 | |
315 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these | |
316 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter | |
317 of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on | |
318 covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. | |
319 Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. | |
320 | |
321 .SH 8. TRANSLATION | |
322 | |
323 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may | |
324 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. | |
325 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special | |
326 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include | |
327 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the | |
328 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a | |
329 translation of this License provided that you also include the | |
330 original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement | |
331 between the translation and the original English version of this | |
332 License, the original English version will prevail. | |
333 | |
334 .SH 9. TERMINATION | |
335 | |
336 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except | |
337 as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to | |
338 copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will | |
339 automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, | |
340 parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this | |
341 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | |
342 parties remain in full compliance. | |
343 | |
344 .SH 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE | |
345 | |
346 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions | |
347 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new | |
348 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
349 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See | |
350 \fBhttp://www.gnu.org/copyleft/\fP. | |
351 | |
352 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. | |
353 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this | |
354 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of | |
355 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or | |
356 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the | |
357 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version | |
358 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not | |
359 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. | |
360 | |
361 | |
362 .SH ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents | |
363 | |
364 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of | |
365 the License in the document and put the following copyright and | |
366 license notices just after the title page: | |
367 | |
368 .hy 0 | |
369 .na | |
370 Copyright | |
371 .if t \(co | |
372 .if n (c) | |
373 [\fIyear\fP] [\fIyour name\fP]. | |
374 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document | |
375 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 | |
376 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; | |
377 with the Invariant Sections being [\fIlist their titles\fP], with the | |
378 Front-Cover Texts being [\fIlist\fP], and with the Back-Cover Texts | |
379 being [\fIlist\fP]. | |
380 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU | |
381 Free Documentation License." | |
382 .ad | |
383 .hy 1 | |
384 | |
385 If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" | |
386 instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no | |
387 Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of | |
388 "Front-Cover Texts being [\fIlist\fP]"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts. | |
389 | |
390 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we | |
391 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of | |
392 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, | |
393 to permit their use in free software. | |
