25 Version 1.1, March 2000

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