<para>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any
|
|
|
e935c3 |
medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
|
|
|
e935c3 |
saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited
|
|
|
e935c3 |
in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
The ``Document'', below, refers to any such manual or work. Any
|
|
|
e935c3 |
member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as ``you''.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work
|

e935c3 |
in a way requiring permission under copyright law.</para>

<para>A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work
|
|
|
e935c3 |
containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied
|
|
|
e935c3 |
verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another
|
|
|
e935c3 |
language.</para>
|
|
|
e935c3 |
|
|
|
e935c3 |
<para>A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a
|
|
|
e935c3 |
front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with
|
|
|
e935c3 |
the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to
|
|
|
e935c3 |
the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and
|
|
|
e935c3 |
contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall
|
|
|
e935c3 |
subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of
|
|
|
e935c3 |
mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.)
|
|
|
e935c3 |
The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with
|
|
|
e935c3 |
the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial,
|
|
|
e935c3 |
philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
|
|
|
e935c3 |
them.</para>

<para>The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections
|
|
|
e935c3 |
whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections,
|
|
|
e935c3 |
in the notice that says that the Document is released under this
|
|
|
e935c3 |
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
|
|
|
e935c3 |
Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
|
|
|
e935c3 |
does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are
|
|
|
e935c3 |
none.</para>
|
|
|
e935c3 |
|
|
|
e935c3 |
<para>The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that
|
|
|
e935c3 |
are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the
|
|
|
e935c3 |
notice that says that the Document is released under this License.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text
|
|
|
e935c3 |
may be at most 25 words.</para>
|
|
|
e935c3 |
|
|
|
e935c3 |
<para>A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a
|
|
|
e935c3 |
machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification
|
|
|
e935c3 |
is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising
|
|
|
e935c3 |
the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for
|
|
|
e935c3 |
images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for
|
|
|
e935c3 |
drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is
|
|
|
e935c3 |
suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation
|
|
|
e935c3 |
to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A
|
|
|
e935c3 |
copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or
|
|
|
e935c3 |
absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage
|
|
|
e935c3 |
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image
|
|
|
e935c3 |
format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of
|
|
|
e935c3 |
text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called
|
|
|
e935c3 |
``Opaque''.</para>
|
|
|
e935c3 |
|
|
|
e935c3 |
<para>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
|
|
|
e935c3 |
plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
|
|
|
e935c3 |
format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
|
|
|
e935c3 |
standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
|
|
|
e935c3 |
human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
|
|
|
e935c3 |
PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
|
|
|
e935c3 |
can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML
|
|
|
e935c3 |
or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
|
|
|
e935c3 |
available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
|
|
|
e935c3 |
produced by some word processors for output purposes only.</para>

<para>The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page
|
|
|
e935c3 |
itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly,
|
|
|
e935c3 |
the material this License requires to appear in the title page.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
For works in formats which do not have any title page as such,
|
|
|
e935c3 |
``Title Page'' means the text near the most prominent appearance
|
|
|
e935c3 |
of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the
|
|
|
e935c3 |
text.</para>

<para>A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the
|
|
|
e935c3 |
Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in
|
|
|
e935c3 |
parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another
|
|
|
e935c3 |
language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned
|
|
|
e935c3 |
below, such as ``Acknowledgements'', ``Dedications'',
|
|
|
e935c3 |
``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title'' of
|
|
|
e935c3 |
such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains
|
|
|
e935c3 |
a section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.</para>

<para>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the
|
|
|
e935c3 |
notice which states that this License applies to the Document.
|
|
|
e935c3 |
These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by
|
|
|
e935c3 |
reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming
|
|
|
e935c3 |
warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers
|
|
|
e935c3 |
may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this

e935c3 |
License.</para>
