57 PREAMBLE
58
59 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
60 functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
61 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
62 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
63 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
64 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
65 for modifications made by others.
66
67 This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
68 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
69 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
70 license designed for free software.
71
72 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
73 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
74 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
75 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
76 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
77 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
78 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
79
80 @item
81 APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
82
83 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
84 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
85 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
86 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
87 work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
88 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
89 licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
90 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
91 under copyright law.
92
93 A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
94 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
95 modifications and/or translated into another language.
96
97 A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section
98 of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
99 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
100 subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
101 directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
102 part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
103 any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
104 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
105 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
106 them.
107
108 The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
109 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
110 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
111 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
112 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
113 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
114 Sections then there are none.
115
116 The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
117 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
118 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
119 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
120
121 A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
122 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
123 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
124 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
125 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
126 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
127 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
128 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
129 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
130 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
131 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
132 of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
133
134 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
135 @sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
136 format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
137 @acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
138 PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification. Examples
139 of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
140 @acronym{JPG}. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
141 read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
142 @acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
143 not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
144 PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
145 output purposes only.
146
147 The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
148 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
149 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
150 formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
151 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
152 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
153
154 The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies
155 of the Document to the public.
156
157 A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
158 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
159 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
160 specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
161 ``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
162 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
163 section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
164
165 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
166 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
167 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
168 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
169 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
170 no effect on the meaning of this License.
171
172 @item
173 VERBATIM COPYING
174
175 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
176 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
177 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
178 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
179 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
180 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
181 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
182 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
183 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
184
185 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
186 you may publicly display copies.
187
188 @item
189 COPYING IN QUANTITY
190
191 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
192 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
193 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
194 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
195 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
196 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
197 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
198 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
199 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
200 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
201 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
202 as verbatim copying in other respects.
203
204 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
205 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
206 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
207 pages.
208
209 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
210 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
211 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
212 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
213 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
214 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
215 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
216 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
217 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
218 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
219 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
220 edition to the public.
221
222 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
223 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
224 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
225
226 @item
227 MODIFICATIONS
228
229 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
230 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
231 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
232 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
233 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
234 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
235
236 @enumerate A
237 @item
238 Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
239 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
240 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
241 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
242 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
243
244 @item
245 List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
246 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
247 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
248 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
249 unless they release you from this requirement.
250
251 @item
252 State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
253 Modified Version, as the publisher.
254
255 @item
256 Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
257
258 @item
259 Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
260 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
261
262 @item
263 Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
264 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
265 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
266
267 @item
268 Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
269 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
270
271 @item
272 Include an unaltered copy of this License.
273
274 @item
275 Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
276 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
277 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
278 there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
279 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
280 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
281 Version as stated in the previous sentence.
282
283 @item
284 Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
285 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
286 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
287 it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
288 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
289 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
290 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
291
292 @item
293 For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve
294 the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
295 substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
296 dedications given therein.
297
298 @item
299 Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
300 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
301 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
302
303 @item
304 Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
305 may not be included in the Modified Version.
306
307 @item
308 Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or
309 to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
310
311 @item
312 Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
313 @end enumerate
314
315 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
316 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
317 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
318 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
319 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
320 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
321
322 You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
323 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
324 parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
325 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
326 standard.
327
328 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
329 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
330 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
331 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
332 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
333 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
334 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
335 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
336 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
337
338 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
339 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
340 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
341
342 @item
343 COMBINING DOCUMENTS
344
345 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
346 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
347 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
348 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
349 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
350 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
351
352 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
353 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
354 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
355 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
356 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
357 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
358 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
359 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
360
361 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
362 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
363 ``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
364 and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all
365 sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
366
367 @item
368 COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
369
370 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
371 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
372 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
373 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
374 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
375
376 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
377 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
378 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
379 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
380
381 @item
382 AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
383
384 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
385 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
386 distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
387 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
388 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
389 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
390 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
391 derivative works of the Document.
392
393 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
394 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
395 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
396 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
397 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
398 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
399 aggregate.
400
401 @item
402 TRANSLATION
403
404 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
405 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
406 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
407 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
408 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
409 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
410 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
411 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
412 the original English version of this License and the original versions
413 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
414 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
415 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
416
417 If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
418 ``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
419 its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
420 title.
421
422 @item
423 TERMINATION
424
425 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
426 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
427 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
428 will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
429
430 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
431 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
432 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
433 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
434 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
435 60 days after the cessation.
436
437 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
438 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
439 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
440 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
441 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
442 your receipt of the notice.
443
444 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
445 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
446 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
447 reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
448 not give you any rights to use it.

450 @item
451 FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
452
453 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
454 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
455 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
456 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
457 @uref{https://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
458
459 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
460 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
461 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
462 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
463 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
464 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
465 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
466 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
467 specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
468 License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
469 version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
470 Document.

472 @item
473 RELICENSING
474
475 ``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site'' (or ``MMC Site'') means any
476 World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
477 provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
478 public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
479 ``Massive Multiauthor Collaboration'' (or ``MMC'') contained in the
480 site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
481 site.
482
483 ``CC-BY-SA'' means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
484 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
485 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
486 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
487 published by that same organization.
488
489 ``Incorporate'' means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
490 in part, as part of another Document.
491
492 An MMC is ``eligible for relicensing'' if it is licensed under this
493 License, and if all works that were first published under this License
494 somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole
495 or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections,
496 and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
497
498 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
499 under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
500 provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
