0. PREAMBLE
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
|
||
functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure
|
||
everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or
|
||
without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.</p><h2><a id="fdl-1-definitions"></a>
|
||
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
|
||
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
|
||
distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
|
||
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work
|
||
under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any
|
||
such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
|
||
addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or
|
||
distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright
|
||
law.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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. (Thus, 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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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. If a section does not
|
||
fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be
|
||
designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant
|
||
Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then
|
||
there are none.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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 Front-Cover Text may be at
|
||
most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
|
||
represented in a format whose specification is available to the general
|
||
public, that is suitable for revising the document 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, or absence of markup,
|
||
has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
|
||
readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used
|
||
for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is
|
||
called "Opaque".
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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,
|
||
PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
|
||
transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
|
||
include 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, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output
|
||
purposes only.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title
|
||
either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that
|
||
translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific
|
||
section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications",
|
||
"Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section
|
||
when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled
|
||
XYZ" according to this definition.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
|
||
states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
|
||
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License,
|
||
but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that
|
||
these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the
|
||
meaning of this License.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="VerbatimCopying"></a>
|
||
2. VERBATIM COPYING
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
|
||
commercially or noncommercially, 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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you
|
||
may publicly display copies.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="QuantityCopying"></a>
|
||
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
|
||
printed covers) 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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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
|
||
computer-network location from which the general network-using public has
|
||
access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete
|
||
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. 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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="Modifications"></a>
|
||
4. MODIFICATIONS
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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:
|
||
</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem">
|
||
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.
|
||
</li><li class="listitem">
|
||
List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities

there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one

a network location for a work that was published at least four years

before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the

</li><li class="listitem">

Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
|
||
</li></ol></div><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="Combining"></a>
|
||
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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".
|
||
</p><h2><a id="Collections"></a>
|
||
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="Aggregation"></a>
|
||
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="Translation"></a>
|
||
8. TRANSLATION
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="fdl-1-termination"></a>
|
||
9. TERMINATION
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="FutureRevisions"></a>
|
||
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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 <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/" target="_top">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</a>.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
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.
|
||
</p><h2><a id="HowToUse"></a>
|
||
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
|
||
</h2><p>
|
||
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:
|
||
</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
|
||
Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
|
||
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or
|
||
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no
|
||
Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A
|
||
copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free
|
||
Documentation License".
|
||
</p></blockquote></div><p>
|
||
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
|
||
replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
|
||
</p><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><p>
|
||
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
|
||
Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
|
||
</p></blockquote></div><p>
|
||
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
|
||
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
|
||
situation.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
|
||
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
|
||
software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their
|
||
use in free software.
