41 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
42 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

47 {\bf\large Preamble}
48 \end{center}
50 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
51 functional and useful document ``free'' in the sense of freedom: to
52 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
53 with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
54 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
55 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
56 for modifications made by others.
58 This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
59 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
60 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
61 license designed for free software.
63 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
64 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
65 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
66 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
67 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
68 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
69 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
72 \begin{center}
73 {\Large\bf 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS\par}
74 \phantomsection
75 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS}
76 \end{center}
78 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
79 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
80 distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
81 world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
82 work under the conditions stated herein. The ``\textbf{Document}'', below,
83 refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
84 licensee, and is addressed as ``\textbf{you}''. You accept the license if you
85 copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
86 under copyright law.
88 A ``\textbf{Modified Version}'' of the Document means any work containing the
89 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
90 modifications and/or translated into another language.
92 A ``\textbf{Secondary Section}'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
93 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
94 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
95 (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
96 within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
97 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
98 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
99 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
100 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
101 them.
103 The ``\textbf{Invariant Sections}'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
104 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
105 that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
106 section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
107 allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
108 Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
109 Sections then there are none.
111 The ``\textbf{Cover Texts}'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
112 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
113 the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
114 be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
116 A ``\textbf{Transparent}'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
117 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
118 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
119 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
120 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
121 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
122 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
123 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
124 format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
125 or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
126 An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
127 of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``\textbf{Opaque}''.
129 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
130 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
131 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
132 HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
133 transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
134 include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
135 proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
136 processing tools are not generally available, and the
137 machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
138 processors for output purposes only.
140 The ``\textbf{Title Page}'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
141 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
142 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
143 formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
144 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
145 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
147 A section ``\textbf{Entitled XYZ}'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
148 title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
149 text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
150 specific section name mentioned below, such as ``\textbf{Acknowledgements}'',
151 ``\textbf{Dedications}'', ``\textbf{Endorsements}'', or ``\textbf{History}''.)
152 To ``\textbf{Preserve the Title}''
153 of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
154 section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
156 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
157 states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
158 Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
159 License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
160 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
161 no effect on the meaning of this License.

166 \phantomsection
167 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{2. VERBATIM COPYING}
168 \end{center}
170 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
171 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
172 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
173 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
174 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
175 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
176 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
177 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
178 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section~3.
180 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
181 you may publicly display copies.
184 \begin{center}
185 {\Large\bf 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY\par}
186 \phantomsection
187 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{3. COPYING IN QUANTITY}
188 \end{center}
191 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
192 printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
193 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
194 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
195 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
196 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
197 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
198 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
199 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
200 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
201 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
202 as verbatim copying in other respects.
204 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
205 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
206 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
207 pages.
209 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
210 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
211 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
212 a computer-network location from which the general network-using
213 public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
214 a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
215 If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
216 when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
217 that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
218 location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
219 Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
220 edition to the public.
222 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
223 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
224 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
227 \begin{center}
228 {\Large\bf 4. MODIFICATIONS\par}
229 \phantomsection
230 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{4. MODIFICATIONS}
231 \end{center}
233 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
234 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
235 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
236 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
237 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
238 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
240 \begin{itemize}
241 \item[A.]
242 Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
243 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
244 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
245 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
246 if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
248 \item[B.]
249 List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
250 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
251 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
252 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
253 unless they release you from this requirement.
255 \item[C.]
256 State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
257 Modified Version, as the publisher.
259 \item[D.]
260 Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
262 \item[E.]
263 Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
264 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
266 \item[F.]
267 Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
268 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
269 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
271 \item[G.]
272 Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
273 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
275 \item[H.]
276 Include an unaltered copy of this License.
278 \item[I.]
279 Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
280 to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
281 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
282 there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
283 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
284 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
285 Version as stated in the previous sentence.
287 \item[J.]
288 Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
289 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
290 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
291 it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
292 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
293 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
294 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
296 \item[K.]
297 For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
298 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
299 the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
300 and/or dedications given therein.
302 \item[L.]
303 Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
304 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
305 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
307 \item[M.]
308 Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
309 may not be included in the Modified Version.
311 \item[N.]
312 Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements''
313 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
315 \item[O.]
316 Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
317 \end{itemize}
319 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
320 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
321 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
322 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
323 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
324 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
326 You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
327 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
328 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
329 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
330 standard.
332 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
333 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
334 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
335 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
336 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
337 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
338 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
339 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
340 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
342 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
343 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
344 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

348 {\Large\bf 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS\par}
349 \phantomsection
350 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS}
351 \end{center}
354 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
355 License, under the terms defined in section~4 above for modified
356 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
357 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
358 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
359 license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
361 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
362 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
363 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
364 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
365 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
366 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
367 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
368 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
370 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
371 in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
372 ``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
373 and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all sections
374 Entitled ``Endorsements''.
376 \begin{center}
377 {\Large\bf 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS\par}
378 \phantomsection
379 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS}
380 \end{center}
382 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
383 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
384 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
385 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
386 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
388 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
389 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
390 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
391 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

395 {\Large\bf 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS\par}
396 \phantomsection
397 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS}
398 \end{center}
401 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
402 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
403 distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
404 resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
405 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
406 When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
407 apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
408 derivative works of the Document.
410 If the Cover Text requirement of section~3 is applicable to these
411 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
412 the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
413 covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
414 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
415 Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
416 aggregate.
419 \begin{center}
420 {\Large\bf 8. TRANSLATION\par}
421 \phantomsection
422 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{8. TRANSLATION}
423 \end{center}
426 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
427 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section~4.
428 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
429 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
430 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
431 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
432 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
433 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
434 the original English version of this License and the original versions
435 of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
436 the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
437 or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
439 If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
440 ``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section~4) to Preserve
441 its Title (section~1) will typically require changing the actual
442 title.

446 {\Large\bf 9. TERMINATION\par}
447 \phantomsection
448 %\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{9. TERMINATION}
449 \end{center}
452 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
453 as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
454 copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
455 automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
456 parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
457 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
458 parties remain in full compliance.

468 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
469 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
470 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
471 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
472 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
474 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
475 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
476 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
477 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
478 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
479 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
480 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
481 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
