Version 1.2, November 2002

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.
