Secondarily, 23: this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get 24: credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for 25: modifications made by others. 26: 27: This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative 28: works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It 29: complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft 30: license designed for free software. 31: 32: We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free 33: software, because free software needs free documentation: a free 34: program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the 35: software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; 36: it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or 37: whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License 38: principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. 39: 40: @item 41: APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS 42: 43: This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a 44: notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed 45: under the terms of this License. The ``Document'', below, refers to any 46: such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is 47: addressed as ``you''. 48: 49: A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the 50: Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with 51: modifications and/or translated into another language. 52: 53: A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of 54: the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the 55: publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject 56: (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly 57: within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a 58: textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any 59: mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical 60: connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, 61: commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding 62: them. 63: 64: The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles 65: are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice 66: that says that the Document is released under this License. 67: 68: The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed, 69: as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that 70: the Document is released under this License. 71: 72: A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, 73: represented in a format whose specification is available to the 74: general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and 75: straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of 76: pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available 77: drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or 78: for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input 79: to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file 80: format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage 81: subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is 82: not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''. 83: 84: Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain 85: @sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input format, 86: @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available 87: @acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML} designed 88: for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, 89: @acronym{PDF}, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by 90: proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} for which 91: the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are not generally available, 92: and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML} produced by some word 93: processors for output purposes only. 94: 95: The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself, 96: plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material 97: this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in 98: formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means 99: the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, 100: preceding the beginning of the body of the text. 101: 102: @item 103: VERBATIM COPYING 104: 105: You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either 106: commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the 107: copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies 108: to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other 109: conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use 110: technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further 111: copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept 112: compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough 113: number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. 114: 115: You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and 116: you may publicly display copies. 117: 118: @item 119: COPYING IN QUANTITY 120: 121: If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, 122: and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose 123: the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover 124: Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on 125: the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify 126: you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present 127: the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and 128: visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. 129: Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve 130: the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated 131: as verbatim copying in other respects. 132: 133: If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit 134: legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit 135: reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent 136: pages. 137: 138: If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering 139: more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent 140: copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy 141: a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete 142: Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the 143: general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no 144: charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter 145: option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin 146: distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this 147: Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location 148: until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque 149: copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to 150: the public. 151: 152: It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the 153: Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give 154: them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. 155: 156: @item 157: MODIFICATIONS 158: 159: You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under 160: the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release 161: the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified 162: Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution 163: and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy 164: of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: 165: 166: @enumerate A 167: @item 168: Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct 169: from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions 170: (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section 171: of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version 172: if the original publisher of that version gives permission. 173: 174: @item 175: List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities 176: responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified 177: Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the 178: Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). 179: 180: @item 181: State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the 182: Modified Version, as the publisher. 183: 184: @item 185: Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. 186: 187: @item 188: Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications 189: adjacent to the other copyright notices. 190: 191: @item 192: Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice 193: giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the 194: terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. 195: 196: @item 197: Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections 198: and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. 199: 200: @item 201: Include an unaltered copy of this License. 202: 203: @item 204: Preserve the section entitled ``History'', and its title, and add to 205: it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and 206: publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If 207: there is no section entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one 208: stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as 209: given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified 210: Version as stated in the previous sentence. 211: 212: @item 213: Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for 214: public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise 215: the network locations given in the Document for previous versions 216: it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section. 217: You may omit a network location for a work that was published at 218: least four years before the Document itself, or if the original 219: publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. 220: 221: @item 222: In any section entitled ``Acknowledgments'' or ``Dedications'', 223: preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the 224: substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgments 225: and/or dedications given therein. 226: 227: @item 228: Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, 229: unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers 230: or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. 231: 232: @item 233: Delete any section entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section 234: may not be included in the Modified Version. 235: 236: @item 237: Do not retitle any existing section as ``Endorsements'' 238: or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. 239: @end enumerate 240: 241: If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or 242: appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material 243: copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all 244: of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the 245: list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. 246: These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. 247: 248: You may add a section entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains 249: nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various 250: parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has 251: been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a 252: standard. 253: 254: You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a 255: passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list 256: of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of 257: Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or 258: through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already 259: includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or 260: by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, 261: you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit 262: permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. 263: 264: The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License 265: give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or 266: imply endorsement of any Modified Version. 267: 268: @item 269: COMBINING DOCUMENTS 270: 271: You may combine the Document with other documents released under this 272: License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified 273: versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the 274: Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and 275: list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its 276: license notice. 277: 278: The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and 279: multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single 280: copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but 281: different contents, make the title of each such section unique by 282: adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original 283: author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. 284: Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of 285: Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. 286: 287: In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled ``History'' 288: in the various original documents, forming one section entitled 289: ``History''; likewise combine any sections entitled ``Acknowledgments'', 290: and any sections entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all sections 291: entitled ``Endorsements.'' 292: 293: @item 294: COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS 295: 296: You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents 297: released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this 298: License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in 299: the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for 300: verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. 301: 302: You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute 303: it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this 304: License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all 305: other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. 306: 307: @item 308: AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS 309: 310: A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate 311: and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or 312: distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version 313: of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the 314: compilation. Such a compilation is called an ``aggregate'', and this 315: License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled 316: with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they 317: are not themselves derivative works of the Document. 318: 319: If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these 320: copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter 321: of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on 322: covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. 323: Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. 324: 325: @item 326: TRANSLATION 327: 328: Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may 329: distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. 330: Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special 331: permission from their copyright holders, but you may include 332: translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the 333: original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a 334: translation of this License provided that you also include the 335: original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement 336: between the translation and the original English version of this 337: License, the original English version will prevail. 338: 339: @item 340: TERMINATION 341: 342: You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except 343: as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to 344: copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will 345: automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, 346: parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this 347: License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 348: parties remain in full compliance. 349: 350: @item 351: FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE 352: 353: The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions 354: of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new 355: versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may 356: differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See 357: @uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}. 358: 359: Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. 360: If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this 361: License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of 362: following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or 363: of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the 364: Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version 365: number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not 366: as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. 367: @end enumerate 368: 369: @page 370: @appendixsubsec ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents 371: 372: To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of 373: the License in the document and put the following copyright and 374: license notices just after the title page: 375: 376: @smallexample 377: @group 378: Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{your name}. 379: Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document 380: under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 381: or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; 382: with the Invariant Sections being @var{list their titles}, with the 383: Front-Cover Texts being @var{list}, and with the Back-Cover Texts being @var{list}. 384: A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU 385: Free Documentation License''. 386: @end group 387: @end smallexample 388: 389: If you have no Invariant Sections, write ``with no Invariant Sections'' 390: instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no 391: Front-Cover Texts, write ``no Front-Cover Texts'' instead of 392: ``Front-Cover Texts being @var{list}''; likewise for Back-Cover Texts. 393: 394: If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we 395: recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of 396: free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, 397: to permit their use in free software. 398: 399: @c Local Variables: 400: @c ispell-local-pdict: "ispell-dict" 401: @c End: 402:
