| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
| |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 0. PREAMBLE | |
| | |
| The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
| |
| functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
| |
| assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
| |
| with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
| |
| Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
| |
| to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
| |
| for modifications made by others.
| |
| | |
| This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
| |
| works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
| |
| complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
| |
| license designed for free software.
| |
| | |
| We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
| |
| software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
| |
| program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
| |
| software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
| |
| it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
| |
| whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
| |
| principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
| |
| | |
| This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
| |
| contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
| |
| distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
| |
| world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
| |
| work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
| |
| refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
| |
| licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
| |
| copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
| |
| under copyright law.
| |
| | |
| A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
| |
| Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
| |
| modifications and/or translated into another language.
| |
| | |
| A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
| |
| the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
| |
| publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
| |
| (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
| |
| within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
| |
| textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
| |
| mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
| |
| connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
| |
| commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
| |
| them.
| |
| | |
| The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
| |
| are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
| |
| that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
| |
| section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
| |
| allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
| |
| Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
| |
| Sections then there are none.
| |
| | |
| The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
| |
| as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
| |
| the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
| |
| be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
| |
| | |
| A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
| |
| represented in a format whose specification is available to the
| |
| general public, that is suitable for revising the document
| |
| straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
| |
| pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
| |
| drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
| |
| for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
| |
| to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
| |
| format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
| |
| or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
| |
| An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
| |
| of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
| |
| | |
| Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
| |
| ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
| |
| or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
| |
| HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
| |
| transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
| |
| include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
| |
| proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
| |
| processing tools are not generally available, and the
| |
| machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
| |
| processors for output purposes only.
| |
| | |
| The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
| |
| plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
| |
| this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
| |
| formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
| |
| the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
| |
| preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
| |
| | |
| A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
| |
| title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
| |
| text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
| |
| specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
| |
| "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
| |
| of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
| |
| section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
| |
| | |
| The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
| |
| states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
| |
| Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
| |
| License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
| |
| implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
| |
| no effect on the meaning of this License.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 2. VERBATIM COPYING
| |
| | |
| You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
| |
| commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
| |
| copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
| |
| to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
| |
| conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
| |
| technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
| |
| copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
| |
| compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
| |
| number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
| |
| | |
| You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
| |
| you may publicly display copies.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
| |
| | |
| If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
| |
| printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
| |
| Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
| |
| copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
| |
| Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
| |
| the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
| |
| you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
| |
| the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
| |
| visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
| |
| Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
| |
| the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
| |
| as verbatim copying in other respects.
| |
| | |
| If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
| |
| legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
| |
| reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
| |
| pages.
| |
| | |
| If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
| |
| more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
| |
| copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
| |
| a computer-network location from which the general network-using
| |
| public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
| |
| a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
| |
| If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
| |
| when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
| |
| that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
| |
| location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
| |
| Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
| |
| edition to the public.
| |
| | |
| It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
| |
| Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
| |
| them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 4. MODIFICATIONS
| |
| | |
| You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
| |
| the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
| |
| the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
| |
| Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
| |
| and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
| |
| of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
| |
| | |
| A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
| |
| from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
| |
| (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
| |
| of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
| |
| if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
| |
| B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
| |
| responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
| |
| Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
| |
| Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
| |
| unless they release you from this requirement.
| |
| C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
| |
| Modified Version, as the publisher.
| |
| D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
| |
| E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
| |
| adjacent to the other copyright notices.
| |
| F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
| |
| giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
| |
| terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
| |
| G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
| |
| and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
| |
| H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
| |
| I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add
| |
| to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
| |
| publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
| |
| there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
| |
| stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
| |
| given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
| |
| Version as stated in the previous sentence.
| |
| J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
| |
| public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
| |
| the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
| |
| it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
| |
| You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
| |
| least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
| |
| publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
| |
| K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
| |
| Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
| |
| the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
| |
| and/or dedications given therein.
| |
| L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
| |
| unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
| |
| or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
| |
| M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
| |
| may not be included in the Modified Version.
| |
| N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements"
| |
| or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
| |
| O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
| |
| | |
| If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
| |
| appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
| |
| copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
| |
| of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
| |
| list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
| |
| These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
| |
| | |
| You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
| |
| nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
| |
| parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
| |
| been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
| |
| standard.
| |
| | |
| You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
| |
| passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
| |
| of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
| |
| Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
| |
| through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
| |
| includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
| |
| by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
| |
| you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
| |
| permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
| |
| | |
| The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
| |
| give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
| |
| imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
| |
| | |
| You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
| |
| License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
| |
| versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
| |
| Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
| |
| list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
| |
| license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
| |
| | |
| The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
| |
| multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
| |
| copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
| |
| different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
| |
| adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
| |
| author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
| |
| Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
| |
| Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
| |
| | |
| In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
| |
| in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
| |
| "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
| |
| and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
| |
| Entitled "Endorsements".
| |
| | |
| | |
| 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
| |
| | |
| You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
| |
| released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
| |
| License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
| |
| the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
| |
| verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
| |
| | |
| You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
| |
| it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
| |
| License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
| |
| other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
| |
| | |
| A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
| |
| and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
| |
| distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
| |
| resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
| |
| of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
| |
| When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
| |
| apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
| |
| derivative works of the Document.
| |
| | |
| If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
| |
| copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
| |
| the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
| |
| covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
| |
| electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
| |
| Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
| |
| aggregate.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 8. TRANSLATION
| |
| | |
| Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
| |
| distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
| |
| Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
| |
| permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
| |
| translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
| |
| original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
| |
| translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
| |
| Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
| |
| the original English version of this License and the original versions
| |
| of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
| |
| the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
| |
| or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
| |
| | |
| If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
| |
| "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
| |
| its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
| |
| title.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 9. TERMINATION
| |
| | |
| You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
| |
| as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
| |
| copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
| |
| automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
| |
| parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
| |
| License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
| |
| parties remain in full compliance.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
| |
| | |
| The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
| |
| of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
| |
| versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
| |
| differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
| |
| http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
| |
| | |
| Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
| |
| If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
| |
| License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
| |
| following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
| |
| of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
| |
| Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
| |
| number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
| |
| as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
| |
| | |
| To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
| |
| the License in the document and put the following copyright and
| |
| license notices just after the title page:
| |
| | |
| Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
| |
| Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
| |
| under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
| |
| or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
| |
| with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
| |
| A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
| |
| Free Documentation License".
| |
| | |
| If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
| |
| replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
| |
| | |
| with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
| |
| Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
| |
| | |
| If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
| |
| combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
| |
| situation.
| |
| | |
| If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
| |
| recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
| |
| free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
| |
| to permit their use in free software.
| |
