! 17: PREAMBLE
! 18:
! 19: The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
! 20: functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
! 21: assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
! 22: with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
! 23: Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
! 24: to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
! 25: for modifications made by others.
! 26:
! 27: This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
! 28: works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
! 29: complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
! 30: license designed for free software.
! 31:
! 32: We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
! 33: software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
! 34: program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
! 35: software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
! 36: it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
! 37: whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
! 38: principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
! 39:
! 40: @item
! 41: APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
! 42:
! 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.
! 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
! 58: of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
! 59: publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
! 60: subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
! 61: directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
! 62: part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
! 63: any 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
! 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.
! 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
! 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.
! 80:
! 81: A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
! 82: represented in a format whose specification is available to the
! 83: general public, that is suitable for revising the document
! 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
! 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:
! 94: Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
! 95: @sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
! 96: format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
! 97: @acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
! 98: PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification. Examples
! 99: of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
! 100: @acronym{JPG}. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
! 101: read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
! 102: @acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
! 103: not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
! 104: PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
! 105: output purposes only.
! 106:
! 107: The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
! 108: plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
! 109: this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
! 110: formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
! 111: the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
! 112: preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
! 113:
! 114: The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies
! 115: of the Document to the public.
! 116:
! 117: A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
! 118: title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
! 119: text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
! 120: specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
! 121: ``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
! 122: of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
! 123: section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
! 124:
! 125: The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
! 126: states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
! 127: Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
! 128: License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
! 129: implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
! 130: no effect on the meaning of this License.
! 131:
! 132: @item
! 133: VERBATIM COPYING
! 134:
! 135: You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
! 136: commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
! 137: copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
! 138: to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
! 139: conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
! 140: technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
! 141: copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
! 142: compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
! 143: number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
! 144:
! 145: You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
! 146: you may publicly display copies.
! 147:
! 148: @item
! 149: COPYING IN QUANTITY
! 150:
! 151: If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
! 152: printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
! 153: Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
! 154: copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
! 155: Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
! 156: the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
! 157: you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
! 158: the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
! 159: visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
! 160: Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
! 161: the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
! 162: as verbatim copying in other respects.
! 163:
! 164: If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
! 165: legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
! 166: reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
! 167: pages.
! 168:
! 169: If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
! 170: more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
! 171: copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
! 172: a computer-network location from which the general network-using
! 173: public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
! 174: a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
! 175: If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
! 176: when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
! 177: that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
! 178: location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
! 179: Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
! 180: edition to the public.
! 181:
! 182: It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
! 183: Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
! 184: them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
! 185:
! 186: @item
! 187: MODIFICATIONS
! 188:
! 189: You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
! 190: the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
! 191: the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
! 192: Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
! 193: and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
! 194: of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
! 195:
! 196: @enumerate A
! 197: @item
! 198: Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
! 199: from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
! 200: (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
! 201: of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
! 202: if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
! 203:
! 204: @item
! 205: List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
! 206: responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
! 207: Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
! 208: Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
! 209: unless they release you from this requirement.
! 210:
! 211: @item
! 212: State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
! 213: Modified Version, as the publisher.
! 214:
! 215: @item
! 216: Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
! 217:
! 218: @item
! 219: Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
! 220: adjacent to the other copyright notices.
! 221:
! 222: @item
! 223: Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
! 224: giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
! 225: terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
! 226:
! 227: @item
! 228: Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
! 229: and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
! 230:
! 231: @item
! 232: Include an unaltered copy of this License.
! 233:
! 234: @item
! 235: Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
! 236: to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
! 237: publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
! 238: there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
! 239: stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
! 240: given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
! 241: Version as stated in the previous sentence.
! 242:
! 243: @item
! 244: Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
! 245: public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
! 246: the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
! 247: it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
! 248: You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
! 249: least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
! 250: publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
! 251:
! 252: @item
! 253: For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve
! 254: the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
! 255: substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
! 256: dedications given therein.
! 257:
! 258: @item
! 259: Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
! 260: unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
! 261: or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
! 262:
! 263: @item
! 264: Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
! 265: may not be included in the Modified Version.
! 266:
! 267: @item
! 268: Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or
! 269: to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
! 270:
! 271: @item
! 272: Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
! 273: @end enumerate
! 274:
! 275: If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
! 276: appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
! 277: copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
! 278: of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
! 279: list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
! 280: These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
! 281:
! 282: You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
! 283: nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
! 284: parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
! 285: been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
! 286: standard.
! 287:
! 288: You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
! 289: passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
! 290: of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
! 291: Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
! 292: through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
! 293: includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
! 294: by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
! 295: you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
! 296: permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
! 297:
! 298: The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
! 299: give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
! 300: imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
! 301:
! 302: @item
! 303: COMBINING DOCUMENTS
! 304:
! 305: You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
! 306: License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
! 307: versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
! 308: Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
! 309: list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
! 310: license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
! 311:
! 312: The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
! 313: multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
! 314: copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
! 315: different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
! 316: adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
! 317: author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
! 318: Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
! 319: Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
! 320:
! 321: In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
! 322: in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
! 323: ``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
! 324: and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all
! 325: sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
! 326:
! 327: @item
! 328: COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
! 329:
! 330: You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
! 331: released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
! 332: License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
! 333: the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
! 334: verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
! 335:
! 336: You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
! 337: it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
! 338: License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
! 339: other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
! 340:
! 341: @item
! 342: AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
! 343:
! 344: A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
! 345: and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
! 346: distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
! 347: resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
! 348: of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
! 349: When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
! 350: apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
! 351: derivative works of the Document.
! 352:
! 353: If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
! 354: copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
! 355: the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
! 356: covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
! 357: electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
! 358: Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
! 359: aggregate.
! 360:
! 361: @item
! 362: TRANSLATION
! 363:
! 364: Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
! 365: distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
! 366: Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
! 367: permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
! 368: translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
! 369: original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
! 370: translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
! 371: Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
! 372: the original English version of this License and the original versions
! 373: of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
! 374: the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
! 375: or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
! 376:
! 377: If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
! 378: ``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
! 379: its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
! 380: title.
! 381:
! 382: @item
! 383: TERMINATION
! 384:
! 385: You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
! 386: except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
! 387: otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
! 388: will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
! 389:
! 390: However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
! 391: from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
! 392: unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
! 393: terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
! 394: fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
! 395: 60 days after the cessation.
! 396:
! 397: Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
! 398: reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
! 399: violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
! 400: received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
! 401: copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
! 402: your receipt of the notice.
! 403:
! 404: Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
! 405: licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
! 406: this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
! 407: reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
! 408: not give you any rights to use it.
! 409:
! 410: @item
! 411: FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
! 412:
! 413: The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
! 414: of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
! 415: versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
! 416: differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
! 417: @uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
! 418:
! 419: Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
! 420: If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
! 421: License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
! 422: following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
! 423: of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
! 424: Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
! 425: number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
! 426: as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
! 427: specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
! 428: License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
! 429: version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
! 430: Document.
! 431:
! 432: @item
! 433: RELICENSING
! 434:
! 435: ``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site'' (or ``MMC Site'') means any
! 436: World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
! 437: provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
! 438: public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
! 439: ``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration'' (or ``MMC'') contained in the
! 440: site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
! 441: site.
! 442:
! 443: ``CC-BY-SA'' means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
! 444: license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
! 445: corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
! 446: California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
! 447: published by that same organization.
! 448:
! 449: ``Incorporate'' means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
! 450: in part, as part of another Document.
! 451:
! 452: An MMC is ``eligible for relicensing'' if it is licensed under this
! 453: License, and if all works that were first published under this License
! 454: somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole
! 455: or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections,
! 456: and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
! 457:
! 458: The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
! 459: under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
! 460: provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
