PREAMBLE 1.15 + 1.16 +The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other 1.17 +functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to 1.18 +assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, 1.19 +with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. 1.20 +Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way 1.21 +to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible 1.22 +for modifications made by others. 1.23 + 1.24 +This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative 1.25 +works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It 1.26 +complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft 1.27 +license designed for free software. 1.28 + 1.29 +We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free 1.30 +software, because free software needs free documentation: a free 1.31 +program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the 1.32 +software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; 1.33 +it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or 1.34 +whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License 1.35 +principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 1.36 + 1.37 + 1.38 +1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS 1.39 + 1.40 +This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that 1.41 +contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be 1.42 +distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a 1.43 +world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that 1.44 +work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, 1.45 +refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a 1.46 +licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you 1.47 +copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission 1.48 +under copyright law. 1.49 + 1.50 +A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the 1.51 +Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with 1.52 +modifications and/or translated into another language. 1.53 + 1.54 +A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of 1.55 +the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the 1.56 +publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall 1.57 +subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall 1.58 +directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in 1.59 +part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain 1.60 +any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical 1.61 +connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, 1.62 +commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding 1.63 +them. 1.64 + 1.65 +The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles 1.66 +are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice 1.67 +that says that the Document is released under this License. If a 1.68 +section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not 1.69 +allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero 1.70 +Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant 1.71 +Sections then there are none. 1.72 + 1.73 +The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, 1.74 +as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that 1.75 +the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may 1.76 +be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. 1.77 + 1.78 +A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, 1.79 +represented in a format whose specification is available to the 1.80 +general public, that is suitable for revising the document 1.81 +straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of 1.82 +pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available 1.83 +drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or 1.84 +for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input 1.85 +to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file 1.86 +format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart 1.87 +or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. 1.88 +An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount 1.89 +of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". 1.90 + 1.91 +Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain 1.92 +ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML 1.93 +or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple 1.94 +HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of 1.95 +transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats 1.96 +include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by 1.97 +proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or 1.98 +processing tools are not generally available, and the 1.99 +machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word 1.100 +processors for output purposes only. 1.101 + 1.102 +The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, 1.103 +plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material 1.104 +this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in 1.105 +formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means 1.106 +the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, 1.107 +preceding the beginning of the body of the text. 1.108 + 1.109 +The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of 1.110 +the Document to the public. 1.111 + 1.112 +A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose 1.113 +title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following 1.114 +text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a 1.115 +specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", 1.116 +"Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" 1.117 +of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a 1.118 +section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. 1.119 + 1.120 +The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which 1.121 +states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty 1.122 +Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this 1.123 +License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other 1.124 +implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has 1.125 +no effect on the meaning of this License. 1.126 + 1.127 +2. VERBATIM COPYING 1.128 + 1.129 +You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either 1.130 +commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the 1.131 +copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies 1.132 +to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no 1.133 +other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use 1.134 +technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further 1.135 +copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept 1.136 +compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough 1.137 +number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. 1.138 + 1.139 +You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and 1.140 +you may publicly display copies. 1.141 + 1.142 + 1.143 +3. COPYING IN QUANTITY 1.144 + 1.145 +If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have 1.146 +printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the 1.147 +Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the 1.148 +copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover 1.149 +Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on 1.150 +the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify 1.151 +you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present 1.152 +the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and 1.153 +visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. 1.154 +Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve 1.155 +the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated 1.156 +as verbatim copying in other respects. 1.157 + 1.158 +If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit 1.159 +legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit 1.160 +reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent 1.161 +pages. 1.162 + 1.163 +If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering 1.164 +more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent 1.165 +copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy 1.166 +a computer-network location from which the general network-using 1.167 +public has access to download using public-standard network protocols 1.168 +a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. 1.169 +If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, 1.170 +when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure 1.171 +that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated 1.172 +location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an 1.173 +Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that 1.174 +edition to the public. 1.175 + 1.176 +It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the 1.177 +Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to 1.178 +give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the 1.179 +Document. 1.180 + 1.181 + 1.182 +4. MODIFICATIONS 1.183 + 1.184 +You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under 1.185 +the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release 1.186 +the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified 1.187 +Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution 1.188 +and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy 1.189 +of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: 1.190 + 1.191 +A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct 1.192 + from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions 1.193 + (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section 1.194 + of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version 1.195 + if the original publisher of that version gives permission. 1.196 +B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities 1.197 + responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified 1.198 + Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the 1.199 + Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), 1.200 + unless they release you from this requirement. 1.201 +C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the 1.202 + Modified Version, as the publisher. 1.203 +D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. 1.204 +E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications 1.205 + adjacent to the other copyright notices. 1.206 +F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice 1.207 + giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the 1.208 + terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. 1.209 +G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections 1.210 + and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. 1.211 +H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. 1.212 +I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add 1.213 + to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and 1.214 + publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If 1.215 + there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one 1.216 + stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as 1.217 + given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified 1.218 + Version as stated in the previous sentence. 1.219 +J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for 1.220 + public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise 1.221 + the network locations given in the Document for previous versions 1.222 + it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. 1.223 + You may omit a network location for a work that was published at 1.224 + least four years before the Document itself, or if the original 1.225 + publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. 1.226 +K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", 1.227 + Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all 1.228 + the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements 1.229 + and/or dedications given therein. 1.230 +L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, 1.231 + unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers 1.232 + or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. 1.233 +M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section 1.234 + may not be included in the Modified Version. 1.235 +N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" 1.236 + or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. 1.237 +O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. 1.238 + 1.239 +If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or 1.240 +appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material 1.241 +copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all 1.242 +of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the 1.243 +list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. 1.244 +These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. 1.245 + 1.246 +You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains 1.247 +nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various 1.248 +parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has 1.249 +been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a 1.250 +standard. 1.251 + 1.252 +You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a 1.253 +passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list 1.254 +of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of 1.255 +Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or 1.256 +through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already 1.257 +includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or 1.258 +by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, 1.259 +you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit 1.260 +permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. 1.261 + 1.262 +The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License 1.263 +give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or 1.264 +imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 1.265 + 1.266 + 1.267 +5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS 1.268 + 1.269 +You may combine the Document with other documents released under this 1.270 +License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified 1.271 +versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the 1.272 +Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and 1.273 +list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its 1.274 +license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. 1.275 + 1.276 +The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and 1.277 +multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single 1.278 +copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but 1.279 +different contents, make the title of each such section unique by 1.280 +adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original 1.281 +author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. 1.282 +Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of 1.283 +Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. 1.284 + 1.285 +In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" 1.286 +in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled 1.287 +"History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", 1.288 +and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections 1.289 +Entitled "Endorsements". 1.290 + 1.291 + 1.292 +6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS 1.293 + 1.294 +You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other 1.295 +documents released under this License, and replace the individual 1.296 +copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy 1.297 +that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules 1.298 +of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all 1.299 +other respects. 1.300 + 1.301 +You may extract a single document from such a collection, and 1.302 +distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a 1.303 +copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this 1.304 +License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that 1.305 +document. 1.306 + 1.307 + 1.308 +7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS 1.309 + 1.310 +A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate 1.311 +and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or 1.312 +distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright 1.313 +resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights 1.314 +of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. 1.315 +When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not 1.316 +apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves 1.317 +derivative works of the Document. 1.318 + 1.319 +If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these 1.320 +copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of 1.321 +the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on 1.322 +covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the 1.323 +electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. 1.324 +Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole 1.325 +aggregate. 1.326 + 1.327 + 1.328 +8. TRANSLATION 1.329 + 1.330 +Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may 1.331 +distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. 1.332 +Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special 1.333 +permission from their copyright holders, but you may include 1.334 +translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the 1.335 +original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a 1.336 +translation of this License, and all the license notices in the 1.337 +Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include 1.338 +the original English version of this License and the original versions 1.339 +of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between 1.340 +the translation and the original version of this License or a notice 1.341 +or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. 1.342 + 1.343 +If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", 1.344 +"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve 1.345 +its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual 1.346 +title. 1.347 + 1.348 + 1.349 +9. TERMINATION 1.350 + 1.351 +You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document 1.352 +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 1.353 +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and 1.354 +will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 1.355 + 1.356 +However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license 1.357 +from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, 1.358 +unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally 1.359 +terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder 1.360 +fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 1.361 +60 days after the cessation. 1.362 + 1.363 +Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is 1.364 +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the 1.365 +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have 1.366 +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that 1.367 +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after 1.368 +your receipt of the notice. 1.369 + 1.370 +Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the 1.371 +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under 1.372 +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently 1.373 +reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does 1.374 +not give you any rights to use it. 1.375 + 1.376 + 1.377 +10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE 1.378 + 1.379 +The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the 1.380 +GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions 1.381 +will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in 1.382 +detail to address new problems or concerns. See 1.383 +http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. 1.384 + 1.385 +Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. 1.386 +If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this 1.387 +License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of 1.388 +following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or 1.389 +of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the 1.390 +Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version 1.391 +number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not 1.392 +as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document 1.393 +specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this 1.394 +License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a 1.395 +version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the 1.396 +Document. 1.397 + 1.398 +11. RELICENSING 1.399 + 1.400 +"Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any 1.401 +World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also 1.402 +provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A 1.403 +public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A 1.404 +"Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site 1.405 +means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site. 1.406 + 1.407 +"CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 1.408 +license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit 1.409 +corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, 1.410 +California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license 1.411 +published by that same organization. 1.412 + 1.413 +"Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in 1.414 +part, as part of another Document. 1.415 + 1.416 +An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this 1.417 +License, and if all works that were first published under this License 1.418 +somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or 1.419 +in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and 1.420 +(2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. 1.421 + 1.422 +The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site 1.423 +under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, 1.424 +provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
