Version 1.1, March 2000
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor,
|
|
Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
|
|
document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
0. PREAMBLE
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written
|
|
document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective
|
|
freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either
|
|
commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
|
|
author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered
|
|
responsible for modifications made by others.
|
|
|
|
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of
|
|
the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the
|
|
GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free
|
|
software.
|
|
|
|
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software,
|
|
because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come
|
|
with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this
|
|
License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual
|
|
work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed
|
|
book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction
|
|
or reference.
|
|
|
|
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
|
|
|
|
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice placed
|
|
by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this
|
|
License. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
|
|
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".
|
|
|
|
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document
|
|
or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated
|
|
into another language.
|
|
|
|
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the
|
|
Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or
|
|
authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters)
|
|
and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject.
|
|
(For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary
|
|
Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter
|
|
of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
|
|
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.
|
|
|
|
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated,
|
|
as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document
|
|
is released under this License.
|
|
|
|
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover
|
|
Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released
|
|
under this License.
|
|
|
|
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented
|
|
in a format whose specification is available to the general public, whose
|
|
contents can be viewed and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic
|
|
text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or
|
|
(for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable
|
|
for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
|
|
formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise
|
|
Transparent file format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
|
|
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not
|
|
"Transparent" is called "Opaque".
|
|
|
|
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without
|
|
markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly
|
|
available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification.
|
|
Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read
|
|
and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the
|
|
DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated
|
|
HTML produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
|
|
|
|
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such
|
|
following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License
|
|
requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have
|
|
any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent
|
|
appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the
|
|
text.
|
|
|
|
2. VERBATIM COPYING
|
|
|
|
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially
|
|
or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and
|
|
the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced
|
|
in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of
|
|
this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the
|
|
reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
|
|
you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large
|
|
enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
|
|
|
|
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you
|
|
may publicly display copies.
|
|
|
|
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
|
|
|
|
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and
|
|
the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies
|
|
in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover
|
|
Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers
|
|
must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies.
|
|
The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally
|
|
prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
|
|
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title
|
|
of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying
|
|
in other respects.
|
|
|
|
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly,
|
|
you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual
|
|
cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
|
|
|
|
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more
|
|
than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along
|
|
with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible
|
|
computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document,
|
|
free of added material, which the general network-using public has access
|
|
to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols.
|
|
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when
|
|
you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent
|
|
copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
|
|
year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through
|
|
your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
|
|
|
|
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document
|
|
well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance
|
|
to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
|
|
|
|
4. MODIFICATIONS
|
|
|
|
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions
|
|
of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version
|
|
under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of
|
|
the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified
|
|
Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
|
|
things in the Modified Version:
|
|
|
|
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from
|
|
that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if
|
|
there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may
|
|
use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that
|
|
version gives permission.
|
|
|
|
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible
|
|
for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with
|
|
at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
|
|
authors, if it has less than five).
|
|
|
|
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version,
|
|
as the publisher.
|
|
|
|
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
|
|
|
|
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to
|
|
the other copyright notices.
|
|
|
|
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving
|
|
the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this
|
|
License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
|
|
|
|
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and
|
|
required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
|
|
|
|
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
|
|
|
|
I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an
|
|
item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified
|
|
Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled "History"
|
|
in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher
|
|
of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the
|
|
Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
|
|
|
|
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public
|
|
access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations
|
|
given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be
|
|
placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work
|
|
that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the
|
|
original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
|
|
|
|
K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve the
|
|
section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of
|
|
each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
|
|
|
|
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their
|
|
text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered
|
|
part of the section titles.
|
|
|
|
M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included
|
|
in the Modified Version.
|
|
|
|
N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in
|
|
title with any Invariant Section.
|
|
|
|
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that
|
|
qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document,
|
|
you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant.
|
|
To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
|
|
Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section
|
|
titles.
|
|
|
|
You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing
|
|
but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example,
|
|
statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization
|
|
as the authoritative definition of a standard.
|
|
|
|
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage
|
|
of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts
|
|
in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover
|
|
Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If
|
|
the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously
|
|
added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf
|
|
of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
|
|
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
|
|
|
|
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give
|
|
permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement
|
|
of any Modified Version.
|
|
|
|
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
|
|
|
|
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License,
|
|
under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided
|
|
that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of
|
|
the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections
|
|
of your combined work in its license notice.
|
|
|
|
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple
|
|
identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there
|
|
are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents,
|
|
make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in
|
|
parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section
|
|
if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section
|
|
titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" in the
|
|
various original documents, forming one section entitled "History"; likewise
|
|
combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled
|
|
"Dedications". You must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements."
|
|
|
|
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
|
|
|
|
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released
|
|
under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the
|
|
various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided
|
|
that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of
|
|
the documents in all other respects.
|
|
|
|
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it
|
|
individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License
|
|
into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects
|
|
regarding verbatim copying of that document.
|
|
|
|
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
|
|
|
|
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent
|
|
documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium,
|
|
does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the Document, provided
|
|
no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation
|
|
is called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the other self-contained
|
|
works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled,
|
|
if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
|
|
|
|
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of
|
|
the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the entire
|
|
aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround
|
|
only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers
|
|
around the whole aggregate.
|
|
|
|
8. TRANSLATION
|
|
|
|
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations
|
|
of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections
|
|
with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders,
|
|
but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition
|
|
to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation
|
|
of this License provided that you also include the original English version
|
|
of this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the
|
|
original English version of this License, the original English version will
|
|
prevail.
|
|
|
|
9. TERMINATION
|
|
|
|
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as
|
|
expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify,
|
|
sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate
|
|
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
|
|
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
|
|
so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
|
|
|
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU
|
|
Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar
|
|
in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
|
|
problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
|
|
|
|
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the
|
|
Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or
|
|
any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms
|
|
and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that
|
|
has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the
|
|
Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
|
|
any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
|
|
|
|
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the
|
|
License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices
|
|
just after the title page:
|
|
|
|
Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or
|
|
modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License,
|
|
Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
|
|
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES , with the Front-Cover
|
|
Texts being LIST , and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST . A copy of the
|
|
license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
|
|
|
|
If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" instead
|
|
of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover Texts, write
|
|
"no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise
|
|
for Back-Cover Texts.
|
|
|
|
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend
|
|
releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license,
|
|
such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
|
