20 <title>PREAMBLE</title>
21
22 <para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook,
23 or other written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
24 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
25 with or without modifying it, either commercially or
26 noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
27 author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
28 being considered responsible for modifications made by
29 others.</para>
30
31 <para>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that
32 derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the
33 same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which
34 is a copyleft license designed for free software.</para>
35
36 <para>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals
37 for free software, because free software needs free documentation:
38 a free program should come with manuals providing the same
39 freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
40 to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
41 regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
42 printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
43 whose purpose is instruction or reference.</para>

47 <title>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
48
49 <para>This License applies to any manual or other work that
50 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
51 distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document",
52 below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the
53 public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".</para>
54
55 <para>A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work
56 containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied
57 verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another
58 language.</para>
59
60 <para>A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter
61 section of the Document that deals exclusively with the
62 relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the
63 Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains
64 nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject.
65 (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of
66 mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.)
67 The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with
68 the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial,
69 philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
70 them.</para>
71
72 <para>The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections
73 whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections,
74 in the notice that says that the Document is released under this
75 License.</para>
76
77 <para>The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that
78 are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the
79 notice that says that the Document is released under this
80 License.</para>
81
82 <para>A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a
83 machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification
84 is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed
85 and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text
86 editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs
87 or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that
88 is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic
89 translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
90 formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format
91 whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent
92 modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not
93 "Transparent" is called "Opaque".</para>
94
95 <para>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
96 plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
97 format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
98 standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification.
99 Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that
100 can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML
101 or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
102 available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word
103 processors for output purposes only.</para>
104
105 <para>The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page
106 itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly,
107 the material this License requires to appear in the title page.
108 For works in formats which do not have any title page as such,
109 "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of
110 the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the
111 text.</para>

115 <title>VERBATIM COPYING</title>
116
117 <para>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium,
118 either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this
119 License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this
120 License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and
121 that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this
122 License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or
123 control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or
124 distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for
125 copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you
126 must also follow the conditions in section 3.</para>
127
128 <para>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated
129 above, and you may publicly display copies.</para>

133 <title>COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
134
135 <para>If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more
136 than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts,
137 you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and
138 legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front
139 cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must
140 also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these
141 copies. The front cover must present the full title with all
142 words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
143 other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes
144 limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
145 Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim
146 copying in other respects.</para>
147
148 <para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to
149 fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
150 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
151 adjacent pages.</para>
152
153 <para>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
154 numbering more than 100, you must either include a
155 machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
156 state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible
157 computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy
158 of the Document, free of added material, which the general
159 network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
160 charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the
161 latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
162 begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
163 this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
164 location until at least one year after the last time you
165 distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
166 retailers) of that edition to the public.</para>
167
168 <para>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the
169 authors of the Document well before redistributing any large
170 number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an
171 updated version of the Document.</para>
