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.
|
