33
34<p>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
35functional and useful document
36&quot;free&quot; in the sense of freedom: to
37assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
38with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
39Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a
40way to get credit for their work, while not being considered
41responsible for modifications made by others.</p>
42
43<p>This License is a kind of
44&quot;copyleft&quot;, which means that
45derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same
46sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a
47copyleft license designed for free software.</p>
48
49<p>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
50software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
51program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
52software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
53it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
54whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
55principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.</p>

63<h3 class="head2">1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</h3>
64
65<p>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
66contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
67distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
68world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
69work under the conditions stated herein. The
70&quot;Document&quot;, below, refers to any
71such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
72addressed as &quot;you&quot;. You accept the
73license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring
74permission under copyright law.</p>
75
76<p>A &quot;Modified Version&quot; of the
77Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it,
78either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into
79another language.</p>
80
81<p>A &quot;Secondary Section&quot; is a named
82appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals
83exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the
84Document to the Document's overall subject (or to
85related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within
86that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of
87mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.)
88The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the
89subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial,
90philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.</p>
91
92<p>The &quot;Invariant Sections&quot; are
93certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being
94those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the
95Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit
96the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be
97designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant
98Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections
99then there are none.</p>
100
101<p>The &quot;Cover Texts&quot; are certain short
102passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover
103Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under
104this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a
105Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.</p>
106
107<p>A &quot;Transparent&quot; copy of the
108Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose
109specification is available to the general public, that is suitable
110for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors
111or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for
112drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable
113for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a
114variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made
115in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
116markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
117modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not
118Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that
119is not &quot;Transparent&quot; is called
120&quot;Opaque&quot;.</p>
121
122<p>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
123ASCII without markup, T<sup class="superscript">E</sup>Xinfo input
124format, L<sup class="superscript">A</sup>T<sup class="superscript">E</sup>X
125input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
126standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human
127modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF
128and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read
129and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
130the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the
131machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
132processors for output purposes only.</p>
133
134<p>The &quot;Title Page&quot; means, for a
135printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are
136needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear
137in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title
138page as such, &quot;Title Page&quot; means
139the text near the most prominent appearance of the
140work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of
141the text.</p>
142
143<p>A section &quot;Entitled XYZ&quot; means a
144named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or
145contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in
146another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name
147mentioned below, such as
148&quot;Acknowledgments&quot;,
149&quot;Dedications&quot;,
150&quot;Endorsements&quot;, or
151&quot;History&quot;.) To
152&quot;Preserve the Title&quot; of such a
153section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section
154&quot;Entitled XYZ&quot; according to this
155definition.</p>
156
157<p>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
158which states that this License applies to the Document. These
159Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
160this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
161implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
162no effect on the meaning of this License.</p>

170<h3 class="head2">2. VERBATIM COPYING</h3>
171
172<p>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
173commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
174copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
175to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
176other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
177technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
178copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
179compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
180number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.</p>
181
182<p>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
183you may publicly display copies.</p>
184
185

188
189<div class="sect2"><a name="samba2-APP-G-SECT-1.5"/>
190
191<h3 class="head2">3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</h3>
192
193<p>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
194printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
195Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you
196must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly,
197all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
198Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and
199legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front
200cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally
201prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in
202addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they
203preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can
204be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.</p>
205
206<p>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
207legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
208reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
209pages.</p>
210
211<p>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
212more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
213copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque
214copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using
215public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
216a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
217If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
218when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
219that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
220location until at least one year after the last time you distribute
221an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
222edition to the public.</p>
223
224<p>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
225the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,
226to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
227Document.</p>

235<h3 class="head2">4. MODIFICATIONS</h3>
236
237<p>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
238the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
239the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
240Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
241and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
242of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:</p>
243
244<ol><li>
245<p>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
246from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which
247should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the
248Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the
249original publisher of that version gives permission.</p>
250</li><li>
251<p>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
252responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
253Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
254Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
255unless they release you from this requirement.</p>
256</li><li>
257<p>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
258Version, as the publisher.</p>
259</li><li>
260<p>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.</p>
261</li><li>
262<p>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent
263to the other copyright notices.</p>
264</li><li>
265<p>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
266giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
267terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.</p>
268</li><li>
269<p>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
270and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
271license notice.</p>
272</li><li>
273<p>Include an unaltered copy of this License.</p>
274</li><li>
275<p>Preserve the section Entitled
276&quot;History&quot;, Preserve its Title, and
277add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
278publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
279there is no section Entitled
280&quot;History&quot; in the Document, create
281one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document
282as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
283Version as stated in the previous sentence.</p>
284</li><li>
285<p>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
286public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the
287network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was
288based on. These may be placed in the
289&quot;History&quot; section. You may omit a
290network location for a work that was published at least four years
291before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the
292version it refers to gives permission.</p>
293</li><li>
294<p>For any section Entitled
295&quot;Acknowledgments&quot; or
296&quot;Dedications&quot;, Preserve the Title
297of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and
298tone of each of the contributor acknowledgments and/or dedications
299given therein.</p>
300</li><li>
301<p>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in
302their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are
303not considered part of the section titles.</p>
304</li><li>
305<p>Delete any section Entitled
306&quot;Endorsements&quot;. Such a section may
307not be included in the Modified Version.</p>
308</li><li>
309<p>Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
310&quot;Endorsements&quot; or to conflict in
311title with any Invariant Section.</p>
312</li><li>
313<p>Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.</p>
314
315<p>If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
316appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
317copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or
318all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to
319the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
320Version's license notice. These titles must be
321distinct from any other section titles.</p>
322
323<p>You may add a section Entitled
324&quot;Endorsements&quot;, provided it
325contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
326parties&mdash;for example, statements of peer review or that the text
327has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition
328of a standard.</p>
329
330<p>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and
331a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the
332list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
333Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
334through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
335includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
336by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
337you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
338permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.</p>
339
340<p>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
341give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
342imply endorsement of any Modified Version.</p>

350<h3 class="head2">5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS</h3>
351
352<p>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
353License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
354versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
355Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
356list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
357license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.</p>
358
359<p>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
360multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
361copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
362different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
363adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
364author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique
365number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
366Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.</p>
367
368<p>In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
369&quot;History&quot; in the various original
370documents, forming one section Entitled
371&quot;History&quot;; likewise combine any
372sections Entitled
373&quot;Acknowledgements&quot;, and any
374sections Entitled &quot;Dedications&quot;.
375You must delete all sections Entitled
376&quot;Endorsements&quot;.</p>

383
384<h3 class="head2">6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</h3>
385
386<p>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
387documents released under this License, and replace the individual
388copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
389that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
390rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents
391in all other respects.</p>
392
393<p>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
394distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
395copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
396License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
397document.</p>

402
403<div class="sect2"><a name="samba2-APP-G-SECT-1.9"/>
404
405<h3 class="head2">7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</h3>
406
407<p>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
408and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
409distribution medium, is called an
410&quot;aggregate&quot; if the copyright
411resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
412of the compilation's users beyond what the
413individual works permit. When the Document is included as an
414aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the
415aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.</p>
416
417<p>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
418copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
419the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may
420be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate,
421or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in
422electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that
423bracket the whole aggregate.</p>

430
431<h3 class="head2">8. TRANSLATION</h3>
432
433<p>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
434distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
435Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
436permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
437translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
438original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
439translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
440Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
441include the original English version of this License and the original
442versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement
443between the translation and the original version of this License or a
444notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.</p>
445
446<p>If a section in the Document is Entitled
447&quot;Acknowledgements&quot;,
448&quot;Dedications&quot;, or
449&quot;History&quot;, the requirement (section
4504) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing
451the actual title.</p>

460
461<p>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
462except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other
463attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
464void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
465License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from
466you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
467long as such parties remain in full compliance.</p>

476
477<p>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the
478GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
479will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
480detail to address new problems or concerns. See <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/">http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/</a>.</p>
481
482<p>Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
483If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
484License &quot;or any later version&quot;
485applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
486conditions either of that specified version or of any later version
487that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software
488Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this
489License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft)
490by the Free Software Foundation. <a name="INDEX-2"/></p>
