<title>Copyright</title>
<para>Version 1.1, March 2000 </para>
<para>
Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Preamble</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Applicability and Definitions</title>
<para>
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".
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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".
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Verbatim Copying</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
you may publicly display copies.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Copying in Quantity</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Modifications</title>
<para>
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:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
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).
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
license notice.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Include an unaltered copy of this License. </para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
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.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
may not be included in the Modified Version.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to
conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Combining Documents</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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."
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Collections of Documents</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Aggregation with Independent Works</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Translation</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Termination</title>
<para>
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.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Future Revisions of this License</title>
<para>
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/.
</para>
<para>
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.
