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.
