PREAMBLE 12 </h3><p> 13 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other 14 functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: 15 to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with 16 or without modifying it, either commercially or 17 noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and 18 publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered 19 responsible for modifications made by others. 20 </p><p> 21 This License is a kind of copyleft, which means that 22 derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same 23 sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft 24 license designed for free software. 25 </p><p> 26 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free 27 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program 28 should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software 29 does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used 30 for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is 31 published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for 32 works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 33 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section1"></a> 34 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS 35 </h3><p> 36 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that 37 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be 38 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a 39 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work 40 under the conditions stated herein. The Document, below, 41 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, 42 and is addressed as you. You accept the license if you copy, 43 modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under 44 copyright law. 45 </p><p> 46 A Modified Version of the Document means any work containing 47 the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with 48 modifications and/or translated into another language. 49 </p><p> 50 A Secondary Section is a named appendix or a front-matter 51 section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of 52 the publishers or authors of the Document to the Documents overall 53 subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall 54 directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a 55 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any 56 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection 57 with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, 58 philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them. 59 </p><p> 60 The Invariant Sections are certain Secondary Sections whose 61 titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice 62 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section 63 does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to 64 be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant 65 Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then 66 there are none. 67 </p><p> 68 The Cover Texts are certain short passages of text that are 69 listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says 70 that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may 71 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. 72 </p><p> 73 A Transparent copy of the Document means a machine-readable 74 copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the 75 general public, that is suitable for revising the document 76 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of 77 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available 78 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for 79 automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text 80 formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose 81 markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage 82 subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is 83 not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is 84 not Transparent is called Opaque. 85 </p><p> 86 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII 87 without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML 88 using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, 89 PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent 90 image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary 91 formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, 92 SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally 93 available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by 94 some word processors for output purposes only. 95 </p><p> 96 The Title Page means, for a printed book, the title page 97 itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the 98 material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in 99 formats which do not have any title page as such, Title Page 100 means the text near the most prominent appearance of the works 101 title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text. 102 </p><p> 103 The publisher means any person or entity that distributes 104 copies of the Document to the public. 105 </p><p> 106 A section Entitled XYZ means a named subunit of the Document 107 whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses 108 following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands 109 for a specific section name mentioned below, such as 110 Acknowledgements, Dedications, 111 Endorsements, or History.) To Preserve 112 the Title of such a section when you modify the Document means that 113 it remains a section Entitled XYZ according to this 114 definition. 115 </p><p> 116 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which 117 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty 118 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, 119 but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that 120 these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the 121 meaning of this License. 122 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section2"></a> 123 2. VERBATIM COPYING 124 </h3><p> 125 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either 126 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright 127 notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the 128 Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other 129 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical 130 measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the 131 copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in 132 exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you 133 must also follow the conditions in section 3. 134 </p><p> 135 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you 136 may publicly display copies. 137 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section3"></a> 138 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY 139 </h3><p> 140 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have 141 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the 142 Documents license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose 143 the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover 144 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the 145 back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the 146 publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title 147 with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add 148 other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to 149 the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy 150 these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects. 151 </p><p> 152 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, 153 you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the 154 actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages. 155 </p><p> 156 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more 157 than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy 158 along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a 159 computer-network location from which the general network-using public has 160 access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete 161 Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the 162 latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin 163 distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent 164 copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one 165 year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or 166 through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public. 167 </p><p> 168 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the 169 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give 170 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 171 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section4"></a> 172 4. MODIFICATIONS 173 </h3><p> 174 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the 175 conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the 176 Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version 177 filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and 178 modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In 179 addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: 180 </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"> 181 Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct 182 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which 183 should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the 184 Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the 185 original publisher of that version gives permission. 186 </li><li class="listitem"> 187 List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities 188 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified 189 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the 190 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), 191 unless they release you from this requirement. 192 </li><li class="listitem"> 193 State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified 194 Version, as the publisher. 195 </li><li class="listitem"> 196 Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. 197 </li><li class="listitem"> 198 Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to 199 the other copyright notices. 200 </li><li class="listitem"> 201 Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice 202 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the 203 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. 204 </li><li class="listitem"> 205 Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections 206 and required Cover Texts given in the Documents license 207 notice. 208 </li><li class="listitem"> 209 Include an unaltered copy of this License. 210 </li><li class="listitem"> 211 Preserve the section Entitled History, Preserve its 212 Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new 213 authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title 214 Page. If there is no section Entitled History in the 215 Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher 216 of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item 217 describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence. 218 </li><li class="listitem"> 219 Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for 220 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the 221 network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was 222 based on. These may be placed in the History 223 section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published 224 at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original 225 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. 226 </li><li class="listitem"> 227 For any section Entitled Acknowledgements or 228 Dedications, Preserve the Title of the section, and 229 preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the 230 contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein. 231 </li><li class="listitem"> 232 Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in 233 their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are 234 not considered part of the section titles. 235 </li><li class="listitem"> 236 Delete any section Entitled Endorsements. Such a section 237 may not be included in the Modified Version. 238 </li><li class="listitem"> 239 Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled 240 Endorsements or to conflict in title with any Invariant 241 Section. 242 </li><li class="listitem"> 243 Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. 244 </li></ol></div><p> 245 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices 246 that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the 247 Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections 248 as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant 249 Sections in the Modified Versions license notice. These titles 250 must be distinct from any other section titles. 251 </p><p> 252 You may add a section Entitled Endorsements, provided it 253 contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various 254 parties for example, statements of peer review or that the text 255 has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a 256 standard. 257 </p><p> 258 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a 259 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of 260 Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text 261 and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made 262 by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the 263 same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same 264 entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may 265 replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher 266 that added the old one. 267 </p><p> 268 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give 269 permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply 270 endorsement of any Modified Version. 271 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section5"></a> 272 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS 273 </h3><p> 274 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this 275 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, 276 provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections 277 of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as 278 Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that 279 you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. 280 </p><p> 281 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple 282 identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there 283 are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, 284 make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in 285 parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section 286 if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section 287 titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the 288 combined work. 289 </p><p> 290 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled 291 History in the various original documents, forming one 292 section Entitled History; likewise combine any sections 293 Entitled Acknowledgements, and any sections Entitled 294 Dedications. You must delete all sections Entitled 295 Endorsements. 296 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section6"></a> 297 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS 298 </h3><p> 299 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents 300 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this 301 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in 302 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for 303 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. 304 </p><p> 305 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute 306 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this 307 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other 308 respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 309 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section7"></a> 310 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS 311 </h3><p> 312 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and 313 independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or 314 distribution medium, is called an aggregate if the copyright 315 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of 316 the compilations users beyond what the individual works 317 permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does 318 not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves 319 derivative works of the Document. 320 </p><p> 321 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies 322 of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire 323 aggregate, the Documents Cover Texts may be placed on covers that 324 bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of 325 covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear 326 on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate. 327 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section8"></a> 328 8. TRANSLATION 329 </h3><p> 330 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute 331 translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing 332 Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from 333 their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all 334 Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant 335 Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the 336 license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided 337 that you also include the original English version of this License and the 338 original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a 339 disagreement between the translation and the original version of this 340 License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. 341 </p><p> 342 If a section in the Document is Entitled Acknowledgements, 343 Dedications, or History, the requirement 344 (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require 345 changing the actual title. 346 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section9"></a> 347 9. TERMINATION 348 </h3><p> 349 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as 350 expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, 351 modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically 352 terminate your rights under this License. 353 </p><p> 354 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license 355 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless 356 and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your 357 license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you 358 of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the 359 cessation. 360 </p><p> 361 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated 362 permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some 363 reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of 364 violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and 365 you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. 366 </p><p> 367 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the 368 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this 369 License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently 370 reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not 371 give you any rights to use it. 372 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section10"></a> 373 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE 374 </h3><p> 375 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU 376 Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be 377 similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 378 address new problems or concerns. See 379 <a class="link" href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/" target="_top">Copyleft</a>. 380 </p><p> 381 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If 382 the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License 383 or any later version applies to it, you have the option of 384 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of 385 any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free 386 Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of 387 this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) 388 by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy 389 can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that 390 proxys public statement of acceptance of a version permanently 391 authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. 392 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-section11"></a> 393 11. RELICENSING 394 </h3><p> 395 Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site (or MMC 396 Site) means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable 397 works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those 398 works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a 399 server. A Massive Multiauthor Collaboration (or 400 MMC) contained in the site means any set of copyrightable 401 works thus published on the MMC site. 402 </p><p> 403 CC-BY-SA means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 404 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit 405 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, 406 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published 407 by that same organization. 408 </p><p> 409 Incorporate means to publish or republish a Document, in 410 whole or in part, as part of another Document. 411 </p><p> 412 An MMC is eligible for relicensing if it is licensed under 413 this License, and if all works that were first published under this 414 License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in 415 whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant 416 sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. 417 </p><p> 418 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site 419 under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, 420 provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. 421 </p><h3><a id="fdl-1-addendum"></a> 422 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents 423 </h3><p> 424 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the 425 License in the document and put the following copyright and license 426 notices just after the title page: 427 </p><pre class="screen">Copyright YEAR YOUR NAME 428 429 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the 430 terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any later version 431 published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no 432 Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
