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