\r
7 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
\r
8 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
\r
12 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
\r
13 functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
\r
14 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
\r
15 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
\r
16 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
\r
17 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
\r
18 for modifications made by others.
\r
20 This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
\r
21 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
\r
22 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
\r
23 license designed for free software.
\r
25 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
\r
26 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
\r
27 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
\r
28 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
\r
29 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
\r
30 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
\r
31 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
\r
34 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
\r
36 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
\r
37 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
\r
38 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
\r
39 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
\r
40 work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
\r
41 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
\r
42 licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
\r
43 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
\r
44 under copyright law.
\r
46 A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
\r
47 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
\r
48 modifications and/or translated into another language.
\r
50 A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
\r
51 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
\r
52 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
\r
53 subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
\r
54 directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
\r
55 part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
\r
56 any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
\r
57 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
\r
58 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
\r
61 The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
\r
62 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
\r
63 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
\r
64 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
\r
65 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
\r
66 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
\r
67 Sections then there are none.
\r
69 The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
\r
70 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
\r
71 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
\r
72 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
\r
74 A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
\r
75 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
\r
76 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
\r
77 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
\r
78 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
\r
79 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
\r
80 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
\r
81 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
\r
82 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
\r
83 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
\r
84 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
\r
85 of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
\r
87 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
\r
88 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
\r
89 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
\r
90 HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
\r
91 transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
\r
92 include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
\r
93 proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
\r
94 processing tools are not generally available, and the
\r
95 machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
\r
96 processors for output purposes only.
\r
98 The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
\r
99 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
\r
100 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
\r
101 formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
\r
102 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
\r
103 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
\r
105 The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of
\r
106 the Document to the public.
\r
108 A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
\r
109 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
\r
110 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
\r
111 specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
\r
112 "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
\r
113 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
\r
114 section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
\r
116 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
\r
117 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
\r
118 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
\r
119 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
\r
120 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
\r
121 no effect on the meaning of this License.
\r
123 2. VERBATIM COPYING
\r
125 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
\r
126 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
\r
127 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
\r
128 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
\r
129 other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
\r
130 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
\r
131 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
\r
132 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
\r
133 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
\r
135 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
\r
136 you may publicly display copies.
\r
139 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
\r
141 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
\r
142 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
\r
143 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
\r
144 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
\r
145 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
\r
146 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
\r
147 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
\r
148 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
\r
149 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
\r
150 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
\r
151 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
\r
152 as verbatim copying in other respects.
\r
154 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
\r
155 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
\r
156 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
\r
159 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
\r
160 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
\r
161 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
\r
162 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
\r
163 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
\r
164 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
\r
165 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
\r
166 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
\r
167 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
\r
168 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
\r
169 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
\r
170 edition to the public.
\r
172 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
\r
173 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to
\r
174 give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
\r
180 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
\r
181 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
\r
182 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
\r
183 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
\r
184 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
\r
185 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
\r
187 A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
\r
188 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
\r
189 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
\r
190 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
\r
191 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
\r
192 B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
\r
193 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
\r
194 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
\r
195 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
\r
196 unless they release you from this requirement.
\r
197 C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
\r
198 Modified Version, as the publisher.
\r
199 D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
\r
200 E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
\r
201 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
\r
202 F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
\r
203 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
\r
204 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
\r
205 G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
\r
206 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
\r
207 H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
\r
208 I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add
\r
209 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
\r
210 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
\r
211 there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
\r
212 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
\r
213 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
\r
214 Version as stated in the previous sentence.
\r
215 J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
\r
216 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
\r
217 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
\r
218 it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
\r
219 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
\r
220 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
\r
221 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
\r
222 K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
\r
223 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
\r
224 the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
\r
225 and/or dedications given therein.
\r
226 L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
\r
227 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
\r
228 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
\r
229 M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
\r
230 may not be included in the Modified Version.
\r
231 N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements"
\r
232 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
\r
233 O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
\r
235 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
\r
236 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
\r
237 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
\r
238 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
\r
239 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
\r
240 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
\r
242 You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
\r
243 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
\r
244 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
\r
245 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
\r
248 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
\r
249 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
\r
250 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
\r
251 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
\r
252 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
\r
253 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
\r
254 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
\r
255 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
\r
256 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
\r
258 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
\r
259 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
\r
260 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
\r
263 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
\r
265 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
\r
266 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
\r
267 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
\r
268 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
\r
269 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
\r
270 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
\r
272 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
\r
273 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
\r
274 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
\r
275 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
\r
276 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
\r
277 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
\r
278 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
\r
279 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
\r
281 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
\r
282 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
\r
283 "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
\r
284 and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
\r
285 Entitled "Endorsements".
\r
288 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
\r
290 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
\r
291 documents released under this License, and replace the individual
\r
292 copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
\r
293 that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules
\r
294 of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all
\r
297 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
\r
298 distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
\r
299 copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
\r
300 License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
\r
304 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
\r
306 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
\r
307 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
\r
308 distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
\r
309 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
\r
310 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
\r
311 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
\r
312 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
\r
313 derivative works of the Document.
\r
315 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
\r
316 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
\r
317 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
\r
318 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
\r
319 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
\r
320 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
\r
326 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
\r
327 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
\r
328 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
\r
329 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
\r
330 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
\r
331 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
\r
332 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
\r
333 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
\r
334 the original English version of this License and the original versions
\r
335 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
\r
336 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
\r
337 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
\r
339 If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
\r
340 "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
\r
341 its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
\r
347 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
\r
348 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
\r
349 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and
\r
350 will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
\r
352 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
\r
353 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
\r
354 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
\r
355 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
\r
356 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
\r
357 60 days after the cessation.
\r
359 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
\r
360 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
\r
361 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
\r
362 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
\r
363 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
\r
364 your receipt of the notice.
\r
366 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
\r
367 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
\r
368 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
\r
369 reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does
\r
370 not give you any rights to use it.
\r
373 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
\r
375 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the
\r
376 GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
\r
377 will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
\r
378 detail to address new problems or concerns. See
\r
379 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
\r
381 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
\r
382 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
\r
383 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
\r
384 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
\r
385 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
\r
386 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
\r
387 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
\r
388 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
\r
389 specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
\r
390 License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
\r
391 version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
\r
396 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
\r
397 World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
\r
398 provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
\r
399 public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
\r
400 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site
\r
401 means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.
\r
403 "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
\r
404 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
\r
405 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
\r
406 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
\r
407 published by that same organization.
\r
409 "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in
\r
410 part, as part of another Document.
\r
412 An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
\r
413 License, and if all works that were first published under this License
\r
414 somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or
\r
415 in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and
\r
416 (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
\r
418 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
\r
419 under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
\r
420 provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
\r
423 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
\r
425 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
\r
426 the License in the document and put the following copyright and
\r
427 license notices just after the title page:
\r
429 Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
\r
430 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
\r
431 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
\r
432 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
\r
433 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
\r
434 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
\r
435 Free Documentation License".
\r
437 If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
\r
438 replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
\r
440 with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
\r
441 Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
\r
443 If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
\r
444 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
\r
447 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
\r
448 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
\r
449 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
\r
450 to permit their use in free software.
\r
