|

|
---|
| 7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

|
---|
| 11 |
|
---|
| 12 | The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
|
---|
| 13 | written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
|
---|
| 14 | the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
|
---|
| 15 | modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
|
---|
| 16 | this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
|
---|
| 17 | credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
|
---|
| 18 | modifications made by others.
|
---|
| 19 |
|
---|
| 20 | This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
|
---|
| 21 | works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
|
---|
| 22 | complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
|
---|
| 23 | license designed for free software.
|
---|
| 24 |
|
---|
| 25 | We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
|
---|
| 26 | software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
|
---|
| 27 | program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
|
---|
| 28 | software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
|
---|
| 29 | it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
|
---|
| 30 | whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
|
---|
| 31 | principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
|
---|
| 32 |
|
---|
| 33 |
|
---|
| 34 | 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
|
---|
| 35 |
|
---|
| 36 | This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
|
---|
| 37 | notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
|
---|
| 38 | under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
|
---|
| 39 | such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
|
---|
| 40 | addressed as "you".
|
---|
| 41 |
|
---|
| 42 | A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
|
---|
| 43 | Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
|
---|
| 44 | modifications and/or translated into another language.
|
---|
| 45 |
|
---|
| 46 | A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
|
---|
| 47 | the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
|
---|
| 48 | publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
|
---|
| 49 | (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
|
---|
| 50 | within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
|
---|
| 51 | textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
|
---|
| 52 | mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
|
---|
| 53 | connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
|
---|
| 54 | commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
|
---|
| 55 | them.
|
---|
| 56 |
|
---|
| 57 | The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
|
---|
| 58 | are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
|
---|
| 59 | that says that the Document is released under this License.
|
---|
| 60 |
|
---|
| 61 | The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
|
---|
| 62 | as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
|
---|
| 63 | the Document is released under this License.
|
---|
| 64 |
|
---|
| 65 | A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
|
---|
| 66 | represented in a format whose specification is available to the
|
---|
| 67 | general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
|
---|
| 68 | straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
|
---|
| 69 | pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
|
---|
| 70 | drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
|
---|
| 71 | for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
|
---|
| 72 | to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
|
---|
| 73 | format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
|
---|
| 74 | subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
|
---|
| 75 | not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
|
---|
| 76 |
|
---|
| 77 | Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
|
---|
| 78 | ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
|
---|
| 79 | or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
|
---|
| 80 | HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
|
---|
| 81 | PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
|
---|
| 82 | by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
|
---|
| 83 | processing tools are not generally available, and the
|
---|
| 84 | machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
|
---|
| 85 | purposes only.
|
---|
| 86 |
|
---|
| 87 | The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
|
---|
| 88 | plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
|
---|
| 89 | this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
|
---|
| 90 | formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
|
---|
| 91 | the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
|
---|
| 92 | preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
|
---|
| 93 |
|
---|
| 94 |
|
---|
| 95 | 2. VERBATIM COPYING
|
---|
| 96 |
|
---|
| 97 | You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
|
---|
| 98 | commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
|
---|
| 99 | copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
|
---|
| 100 | to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
|
---|
| 101 | conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
|
---|
| 102 | technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
|
---|
| 103 | copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
|
---|
| 104 | compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
|
---|
| 105 | number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
|
---|
| 106 |
|
---|
| 107 | You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
|
---|
| 108 | you may publicly display copies.
|
---|
| 109 |
|
---|
| 110 |
|
---|
| 111 | 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
|
---|
| 112 |
|
---|
| 113 | If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
|
---|
| 114 | and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
|
---|
| 115 | the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
|
---|
| 116 | Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
|
---|
| 117 | the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
|
---|
| 118 | you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
|
---|
| 119 | the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
|
---|
| 120 | visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
|
---|
| 121 | Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
|
---|
| 122 | the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
|
---|
| 123 | as verbatim copying in other respects.
|
---|
| 124 |
|
---|
| 125 | If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
|
---|
| 126 | legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
|
---|
| 127 | reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
|
---|
| 128 | pages.
|
---|
| 129 |
|
---|
| 130 | If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
|
---|
| 131 | more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
|
---|
| 132 | copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
|
---|
| 133 | a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
|
---|
| 134 | Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
|
---|
| 135 | general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
|
---|
| 136 | charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
|
---|
| 137 | option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
|
---|
| 138 | distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
|
---|
| 139 | Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
|
---|
| 140 | until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
|
---|
| 141 | copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
|
---|
| 142 | the public.
|
---|
| 143 |
|
---|
| 144 | It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
|
---|
| 145 | Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
|
---|
| 146 | them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
|
---|
| 147 |
|
---|
| 148 |
|
---|
| 149 | 4. MODIFICATIONS
|
---|
| 150 |
|
---|
| 151 | You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
|
---|
| 152 | the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
|
---|
| 153 | the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
|
---|
| 154 | Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
|
---|
| 155 | and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
|
---|
| 156 | of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
|
---|
| 157 |
|
---|
| 158 | A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
|
---|
| 159 | from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
|
---|
| 160 | (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
|
---|
| 161 | of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
|
---|
| 162 | if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
|
---|
| 163 | B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
|
---|
| 164 | responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
|
---|
| 165 | Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
|
---|
| 166 | Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
|
---|
| 167 | C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
|
---|
| 168 | Modified Version, as the publisher.
|
---|
| 169 | D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
|
---|
| 170 | E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
|
---|
| 171 | adjacent to the other copyright notices.
|
---|
| 172 | F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
|
---|
| 173 | giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
|
---|
| 174 | terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
|
---|
| 175 | G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
|
---|
| 176 | and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
|
---|
| 177 | H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
|
---|
| 178 | I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
|
---|
| 179 | it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
|
---|
| 180 | publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
|
---|
| 181 | there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
|
---|
| 182 | stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
|
---|
| 183 | given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
|
---|
| 184 | Version as stated in the previous sentence.
|
---|
| 185 | J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
|
---|
| 186 | public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
|
---|
| 187 | the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
|
---|
| 188 | it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
|
---|
| 189 | You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
|
---|
| 190 | least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
|
---|
| 191 | publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
|
---|
| 192 | K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
|
---|
| 193 | preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
|
---|
| 194 | substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
|
---|
| 195 | and/or dedications given therein.
|
---|
| 196 | L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
|
---|
| 197 | unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
|
---|
| 198 | or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
|
---|
| 199 | M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
|
---|
| 200 | may not be included in the Modified Version.
|
---|
| 201 | N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
|
---|
| 202 | or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
|
---|
| 203 |
|
---|
| 204 | If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
|
---|
| 205 | appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
|
---|
| 206 | copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
|
---|
| 207 | of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
|
---|
| 208 | list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
|
---|
| 209 | These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
|
---|
| 210 |
|
---|
| 211 | You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
|
---|
| 212 | nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
|
---|
| 213 | parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
|
---|
| 214 | been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
|
---|
| 215 | standard.
|
---|
| 216 |
|
---|
| 217 | You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
|
---|
| 218 | passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
|
---|
| 219 | of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
|
---|
| 220 | Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
|
---|
| 221 | through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
|
---|
| 222 | includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
|
---|
| 223 | by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
|
---|
| 224 | you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
|
---|
| 225 | permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
|
---|
| 226 |
|
---|
| 227 | The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
|
---|
| 228 | give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
|
---|
| 229 | imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
|
---|
| 230 |
|
---|
| 231 |
|
---|
| 232 | 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
|
---|
| 233 |
|
---|
| 234 | You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
|
---|
| 235 | License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
|
---|
| 236 | versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
|
---|
| 237 | Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
|
---|
| 238 | list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
|
---|
| 239 | license notice.
|
---|
| 240 |
|
---|
| 241 | The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
|
---|
| 242 | multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
|
---|
| 243 | copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
|
---|
| 244 | different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
|
---|
| 245 | adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
|
---|
| 246 | author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
|
---|
| 247 | Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
|
---|
| 248 | Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
|
---|
| 249 |
|
---|
| 250 | In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
|
---|
| 251 | in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
|
---|
| 252 | "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
|
---|
| 253 | and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
|
---|
| 254 | entitled "Endorsements."
|
---|
| 255 |
|
---|
| 256 |
|
---|
| 257 | 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
|
---|
| 258 |
|
---|
| 259 | You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
|
---|
| 260 | released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
|
---|
| 261 | License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
|
---|
| 262 | the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
|
---|
| 263 | verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
|
---|
| 264 |
|
---|
| 265 | You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
|
---|
| 266 | it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
|
---|
| 267 | License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
|
---|
| 268 | other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
|
---|
| 269 |
|
---|
| 270 |
|
---|
| 271 | 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
|
---|
| 272 |
|
---|
| 273 | A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
|
---|
| 274 | and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
|
---|
| 275 | distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
|
---|
| 276 | of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
|
---|
| 277 | compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
|
---|
| 278 | License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
|
---|
| 279 | with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
|
---|
| 280 | are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
|
---|
| 281 |
|
---|
| 282 | If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
|
---|
| 283 | copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
|
---|
| 284 | of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
|
---|
| 285 | covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
|
---|
| 286 | Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
|
---|
| 287 |
|
---|
| 288 |
|
---|
| 289 | 8. TRANSLATION
|
---|
| 290 |
|
---|
| 291 | Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
|
---|
| 292 | distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
|
---|
| 293 | Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
|
---|
| 294 | permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
|
---|
| 295 | translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
|
---|
| 296 | original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
|
---|
| 297 | translation of this License provided that you also include the
|
---|
| 298 | original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
|
---|
| 299 | between the translation and the original English version of this
|
---|
| 300 | License, the original English version will prevail.
|
---|
| 301 |
|
---|
| 302 |
|
---|
| 303 | 9. TERMINATION
|
---|
| 304 |
|
---|
| 305 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
|
---|
| 306 | as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
|
---|
| 307 | copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
|
---|
| 308 | automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
|
---|
| 309 | parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
|
---|
| 310 | License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
|
---|
| 311 | parties remain in full compliance.
|
---|
| 312 |
|
---|
| 313 |
|
---|
| 314 | 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
|
---|
| 315 |
|
---|
| 316 | The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
|
---|
| 317 | of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
|
---|
| 318 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
---|
| 319 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
|
---|
| 320 | http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
|
---|
| 321 |
|
---|
| 322 | Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
|
---|
| 323 | If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
|
---|
| 324 | License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
|
---|
| 325 | following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
|
---|
| 326 | of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
|
---|
| 327 | Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
|
---|
| 328 | number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
|
---|
| 329 | as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
