20 <h3 align=center>Version 1.2, November 2002</h3>
21
22 <p> Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
23 <br> 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
24 <br> Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
25 <br> of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
26
27 <h3 align=center>0. PREAMBLE</h3>
28
29 <p>
30 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
31 functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
32 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
33 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
34 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
35 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
36 for modifications made by others.
37
38 <p>
39 This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
40 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
41 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
42 license designed for free software.
43
44 <p>
45 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
46 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
47 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
48 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
49 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
50 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
51 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
52
53
54 <h3 align=center>1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</h3>
55
56 <p>
57 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
58 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
59 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
60 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
61 work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
62 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
63 licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
64 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
65 under copyright law.
66
67 <p>
68 A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
69 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
70 modifications and/or translated into another language.
71
72 <p>
73 A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
74 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
75 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
76 (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
77 within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
78 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
79 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
80 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
81 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
82 them.
83
84 <p>
85 The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
86 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
87 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
88 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
89 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
90 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
91 Sections then there are none.
92
93 <p>
94 The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
95 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
96 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
97 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
98
99 <p>
100 A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
101 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
102 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
103 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
104 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
105 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
106 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
107 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
108 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
109 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
110 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
111 of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
112
113 <p>
114 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
115 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
116 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
117 HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
118 transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
119 include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
120 proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
121 processing tools are not generally available, and the
122 machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
123 processors for output purposes only.
124
125 <p>
126 The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
127 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
128 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
129 formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
130 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
131 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
132
133 <p>
134 A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
135 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
136 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
137 specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
138 "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
139 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
140 section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
141
142 <p>
143 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
144 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
145 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
146 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
147 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
148 no effect on the meaning of this License.
149
150
151 <h3 align=center>2. VERBATIM COPYING</h3>
152
153 <p>
154 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
155 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
156 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
157 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
158 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
159 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
160 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
161 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
162 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
163
164 <p>
165 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
166 you may publicly display copies.
167
168
169 <h3 align=center>3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</h3>
170
171 <p>
172 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
173 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
174 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
175 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
176 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
177 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
178 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
179 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
180 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
181 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
182 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
183 as verbatim copying in other respects.
184
185 <p>
186 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
187 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
188 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
189 pages.
190
191 <p>
192 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
193 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
194 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
195 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
196 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
197 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
198 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
199 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
200 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
201 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
202 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
203 edition to the public.
204
205 <p>
206 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
207 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
208 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
209
210
211 <h3 align=center>4. MODIFICATIONS</h3>
212
213 <p>
214 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
215 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
216 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
217 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
218 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
219 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
220
221 <ol type="A">
222 <li>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
223 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
224 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
225 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
226 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
227 <li>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
228 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
229 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
230 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
231 unless they release you from this requirement.
232 <li>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
233 Modified Version, as the publisher.
234 <li>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
235 <li>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
236 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
237 <li>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
238 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
239 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
240 <li>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
241 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
242 <li>Include an unaltered copy of this License.
243 <li>Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add
244 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
245 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
246 there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
247 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
248 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
249 Version as stated in the previous sentence.
250 <li>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
251 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
252 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
253 it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
254 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
255 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
256 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
257 <li>For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
258 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
259 the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
260 and/or dedications given therein.
261 <li>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
262 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
263 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
264 <li>Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
265 may not be included in the Modified Version.
266 <li>Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements"
267 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
268 <li>Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
269 </ol>
270
271 <p>
272 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
273 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
274 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
275 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
276 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
277 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
278
279 <p>
280 You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
281 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
282 parties&mdash;for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
283 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
284 standard.
285
286 <p>
287 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
288 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
289 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
290 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
291 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
292 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
293 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
294 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
295 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
296
297 <p>
298 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
299 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
300 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
301
302
303 <h3 align=center>5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS</h3>
304
305 <p>
306 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
307 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
308 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
309 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
310 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
311 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
312
313 <p>
314 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
315 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
316 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
317 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
318 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
319 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
320 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
321 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
322
323 <p>
324 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
325 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
326 "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
327 and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
328 Entitled "Endorsements".
329
330
331 <h3 align=center>6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</h3>
332
333 <p>
334 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
335 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
336 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
337 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
338 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
339
340 <p>
341 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
342 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
343 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
344 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
345
346
347 <h3 align=center>7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</h3>
348
349 <p>
350 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
351 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
352 distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
353 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
354 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
355 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
356 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
357 derivative works of the Document.
358
359 <p>
360 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
361 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
362 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
363 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
364 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
365 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
366 aggregate.
367
368
369 <h3 align=center>8. TRANSLATION</h3>
370
371 <p>
372 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
373 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
374 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
375 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
376 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
377 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
378 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
379 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
380 the original English version of this License and the original versions
381 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
382 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
383 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
384
385 <p>
386 If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
387 "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
388 its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
389 title.
390
391
392 <h3 align=center>9. TERMINATION</h3>
393
394 <p>
395 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
396 as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
397 copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
398 automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
399 parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
400 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
401 parties remain in full compliance.
402
403
404 <h3 align=center>10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE</h3>
405
406 <p>
407 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
408 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
409 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
410 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
411 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
412
413 <p>
414 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
415 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
416 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
417 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
418 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
419 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
420 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
421 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
422
423
424 <h3 align=center>ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents</h3>
425
426 <p>
427 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
428 the License in the document and put the following copyright and
429 license notices just after the title page:
430
431 <blockquote>
432 Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.<br>
433 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
434 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
435 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
436 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
437 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
438 Free Documentation License".
439 </blockquote>
440
441 <p>
442 If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
443 replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
444
445 <blockquote>
446 with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
447 Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
448 </blockquote>
449
450 <p>
451 If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
452 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
453 situation.
454
455 <p>
456 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
457 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
458 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
459 to permit their use in free software.
