8 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|

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

|
|
378 will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in

379 detail to address new problems or concerns. See

381
|
|
382 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
|
|
383 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
|
|
384 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
|
|
385 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
|
|
386 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
|
|
387 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
|
|
388 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
|
|
389 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document
|
|
390 specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this
|
|
391 License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
|
|
392 version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
|
|
393 Document.

397 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
|
|
398 World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
|
|
399 provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
|
|
400 public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A
|
|
401 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site
|
|
402 means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.
|
|
403
|
|
404 "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
|
|
405 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
|
|
406 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
|
|
407 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
|
|
408 published by that same organization.
|
|
409
|
|
410 "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in
|
|
411 part, as part of another Document.
|
|
412
|
|
413 An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
|
|
414 License, and if all works that were first published under this License
|
|
415 somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or
|
|
416 in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and
|
|
417 (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
|
|
418
|
|
419 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site
|
|
420 under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009,
|
|
421 provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

424 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
|
|
425
|
|
426 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
|
|
427 the License in the document and put the following copyright and
|
|
428 license notices just after the title page:
|
|
429
|
|
430 Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
|
|
431 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
|
|
432 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
|
|
433 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
|
|
434 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
|
|
435 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
|
|
436 Free Documentation License".
|
|
437
|
|
438 If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
|
|
439 replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
|
|
440
|
|
441 with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
|
|
442 Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
|
|
443
|
|
444 If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
|
|
445 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
|
|
446 situation.
|
|
447
|
|
448 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
|
|
449 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
|
|
450 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
|
|
451 to permit their use in free software.
