16 PREAMBLE
|
|
17
|
|
18 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
|
65555
|
19 functional and useful document ``free'' in the sense of freedom: to
|
|
20 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
|
|
21 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
|
|
22 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
|
|
23 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
|
|
24 for modifications made by others.
|
31301
|
25
|
|
26 This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
|
|
27 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
|
|
28 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
|
|
29 license designed for free software.
|
|
30
|
|
31 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
|
|
32 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
|
|
33 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
|
|
34 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
|
|
35 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
|
|
36 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
|
|
37 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

41 APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
|
|
42
|
65555
|
43 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
|
|
44 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
|
|
45 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
|
|
46 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
|
|
47 work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
|
|
48 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
|
|
49 licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
|
|
50 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
|
|
51 under copyright law.
|
31301
|
52
|
|
53 A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
|
|
54 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
|
|
55 modifications and/or translated into another language.
|
|
56
|
|
57 A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
|
|
58 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
|
|
59 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
|
|
60 (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
|
65555
|
61 within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
|
31301
|
62 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
|
|
63 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
|
|
64 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
|
|
65 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
|
|
66 them.
|
|
67
|
|
68 The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
|
|
69 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
|
65555
|
70 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
|
|
71 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
|
|
72 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
|
|
73 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
|
|
74 Sections then there are none.
|
31301
|
75
|
|
76 The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
|
|
77 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
|
65555
|
78 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
|
|
79 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
|
31301
|
80
|
|
81 A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
|
|
82 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
|
65555
|
83 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
|
31301
|
84 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
|
|
85 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
|
|
86 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
|
|
87 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
|
|
88 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
|
65555
|
89 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
|
|
90 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
|
|
91 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
|
|
92 of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque.''
|
|
93
|
31301
|
94
|
|
95 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
|
|
96 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
|
|
97 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
|
65555
|
98 HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
|
|
99 transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
|
|
100 include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
|
|
101 proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
|
31301
|
102 processing tools are not generally available, and the
|
65555
|
103 machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
|
|
104 processors for output purposes only.
|
31301
|
105
|
|
106 The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
|
|
107 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
|
|
108 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
|
|
109 formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
|
|
110 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
|
|
111 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
|
65555
|
112
|
|
113 A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
|
|
114 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
|
|
115 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
|
|
116 specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
|
|
117 ``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
|
|
118 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
|
|
119 section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
|
|
120
|
|
121 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
|
|
122 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
|
|
123 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
|
|
124 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
|
|
125 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
|
|
126 no effect on the meaning of this License.

129 VERBATIM COPYING
|
|
130
|
|
131 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
|
|
132 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
|
|
133 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
|
|
134 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
|
|
135 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
|
|
136 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
|
|
137 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
|
|
138 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
|
|
139 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
|
|
140
|
|
141 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
|
|
142 you may publicly display copies.

145 COPYING IN QUANTITY
|
|
146
|
65555
|
147 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
|
|
148 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
|
|
149 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
|
|
150 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
|
31301
|
151 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
|
|
152 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
|
|
153 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
|
|
154 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
|
|
155 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
|
|
156 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
|
|
157 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
|
|
158 as verbatim copying in other respects.
|
|
159
|
|
160 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
|
|
161 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
|
|
162 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
|
|
163 pages.
|
|
164
|
|
165 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
|
|
166 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
|
|
167 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
|
65555
|
168 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
|
|
169 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
|
|
170 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
|
|
171 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
|
|
172 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
|
|
173 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
|
|
174 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
|
|
175 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
|
|
176 edition to the public.
|
31301
|
177
|
|
178 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
|
|
179 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
|
|
180 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

183 MODIFICATIONS
|
|
184
|
|
185 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
|
|
186 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
|
|
187 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
|
|
188 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
|
|
189 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
|
|
190 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
|
|
191
|
|
192 A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
|
|
193 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
|
|
194 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
|
|
195 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
|
|
196 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.@*
|
|
197 B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
|
|
198 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
|
|
199 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
|
65555

200 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
|
|
201 unless they release you from this requirement.@*

203 Modified Version, as the publisher.@*

204 D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.@*
|
|
205 E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
|
|
206 adjacent to the other copyright notices.@*
|
|
207 F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
|
|
208 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
|
|
209 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.@*
|
|
210 G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
|
|
211 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.@*
|
|
212 H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.@*
|
65555
|
213 I. Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
|
|
214 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
|
31301
|
215 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
|
65555
|
216 there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
|
31301
|
217 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
|
|
218 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
|
|
219 Version as stated in the previous sentence.@*
|
|
220 J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
|
|
221 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
|
|
222 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
|
|
223 it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
|
|
224 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
|
|
225 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
|
|
226 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.@*
|
65555
|
227 K. For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
|
|
228 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
|
|
229 the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
|
31301
|
230 and/or dedications given therein.@*
|
|
231 L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
|
|
232 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
|
|
233 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.@*
|
65555
|
234 M. Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements.'' Such a section
|
31301
|
235 may not be included in the Modified Version.@*
|
65555
|
236 N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements''
|
31301
|
237 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.@*
|
65555
|
238 O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.@*
|
31301
|
239 @sp 1
|
|
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
|
65555
|
247 You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
|
31301
|
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.

268 COMBINING DOCUMENTS
|
|
269
|
|
270 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
|
|
271 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
|
|
272 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
|
|
273 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
|
|
274 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
|
65555
|
275 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
|
31301
|
276
|
|
277 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
|
|
278 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
|
|
279 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
|
|
280 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
|
|
281 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
|
|
282 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
|
|
283 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
|
|
284 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
|
|
285
|
65555
|
286 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
|
|
287 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
|
|
288 ``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
|
|
289 and any sections Entitled ``Dedications.'' You must delete all sections

297 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
|

298 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
|
|
299 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

301 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute

307 AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
|

308
|
|
309 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
|
|
310 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
|
65555
|
311 distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
|
|
312 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
|
|
313 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
|
|
314 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
|
|
315 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
|
|
316 derivative works of the Document.
|
31301
|
317

|
318 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
|
65555
|
319 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
|
|
320 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
|
|
321 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
|
|
322 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
|
|
323 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
|

327 TRANSLATION
|
|
328
|
|
329 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
|
|
330 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
|
|
331 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
|
|
332 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
|
|
333 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
|
|
334 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
|
65555
|
335 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
|
|
336 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
|
|
337 the original English version of this License and the original versions
|
|
338 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
|
|
339 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
|
|
340 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
|
|
341
|
|
342 If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
|
|
343 ``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
|
|
344 its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
|

345 title.

|
|
360
|
|
361 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
|
|
362 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
|
|
363 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
|
364 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
|
|
365 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
|
|
366
|
|
367 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
|
|
368 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
|
|
369 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
|
|
370 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
|
|
371 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
|
|
372 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
|
|
373 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
|
|
374 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
