<sect1 id="licenses-gfdl-section-1" xreflabel="Preamble">
<title>Preamble</title>
<para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual,
textbook, or other functional and useful document
<quote>free</quote> 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 <quote>copyleft</quote>, which
means that derivative works of the document must themselves be
free in the same sense. It complements the <xref
linkend="licenses-gfdl" />, 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>

<sect1 id="licenses-gfdl-section-2" xreflabel="Applicability and definitions">
<title>Applicability and definitions</title>
<para>This License applies to any manual or other work, in any
medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License.
Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license,
unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions
stated herein. The <quote>Document</quote>, below, refers to
any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
licensee, and is addressed as <quote>you</quote>. You accept
the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
way requiring permission under copyright law.</para>
<para id="modified-version" xreflabel="Modified Version">A
<quote>Modified Version</quote> 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 id="secondary-section" xreflabel="Secondary Section">A
<quote>Secondary Section</quote> 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. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
textbook of mathematics, a <xref linkend="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 id="invariant-sections" xreflabel="Invariant
Sections">The <quote>Invariant Sections</quote> are certain
<xref linkend="secondary-section" /> whose titles are
designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
notice that says that the Document is released under this
License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as
Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections.
If the Document does not identify any Invariant Section then
there are none.</para>
<para id="cover-texts" xreflabel="Cover Texts">The
<quote>Cover Texts</quote> 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 Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a
Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.</para>
<para id="transparent" xreflabel="Transparent">A
<quote>Transparent</quote> copy of the Document means a
machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose
specification is available to the general public, that is
suitable for revising the document 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 <xref linkend="transparent" /> file format whose
markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or
discourage subsequent modification by readers is not <xref
linkend="transparent" />. An image format is not <xref
linkend="transparent" /> if used for any substantial amount of
text. A copy that is not <quote><xref linkend="transparent"
/></quote> is called <quote>Opaque</quote>.</para>
<para>Examples of suitable formats for <xref linkend="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, PostScript or PDF
designed for human modification. Examples of transparent
image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
include 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, PostScript or PDF produced by some
word processors for output purposes only.</para>
<para id="title-page" xreflabel="Title Page">The <quote>Title
Page</quote> 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,
<quote>Title Page</quote> means the text near the most
prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the
beginning of the body of the text.</para>
<para>A section <quote>Entitled XYZ</quote> means a named
subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or
contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ
in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section
name mentioned below, such as <quote>Acknowledgements</quote>,
<quote>Dedications</quote>, <quote>Endorsements</quote>, or
<quote>History</quote>.) To <quote>Preserve the Title</quote>
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it
remains a section <quote>Entitled XYZ</quote> according to
this definition.</para>
<para>The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to
the notice which states that this License applies to the
Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be
included by reference in this License, but only as regards
disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these
Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the
meaning of this License.</para>

<sect1 id="licenses-gfdl-section-3" xreflabel="Verbatim copying">
<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 <xref linkend="licenses-gfdl-section-4"
/>.</para>
<para>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions
stated above, and you may publicly display copies.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="licenses-gfdl-section-4" xreflabel="Copying in quantity">
<title>Copying in quantity</title>
<para>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that
commonly have printed covers) 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 <xref linkend="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 <xref linkend="transparent" /> copy along with each Opaque copy,
or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network
location from which the general network-using public has
access to download using public-standard network protocols a
complete <xref linkend="transparent" /> copy of the Document, free of added
material. 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 <xref linkend="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>

provided that you release the <xref linkend="modified-version"

modified versions, provided that you include in the
combination all of the <xref linkend="invariant-sections"/> of
all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all
as <xref linkend="invariant-sections"/> of your combined work
in its license notice, and that you preserve all their

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 <xref linkend="invariant-sections" /> in
the license notice of the combined work.</para>
<para>In the combination, you must combine any sections

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

<sect1 id="licenses-gfdl-section-8" xreflabel="Aggregation with independent works">
<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, is called an
<quote>aggregate</quote> if the copyright resulting from the
compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the
compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License
does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are
not themselves derivative works of the Document.</para>
<para>If the Cover Text requirement of section <xref
linkend="licenses-gfdl-section-4" /> is applicable to these
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one
half of the entire aggregate, the Document's <xref
linkend="cover-texts" /> may be placed on covers that bracket
the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic
equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the
whole aggregate.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="licenses-gfdl-section-9" xreflabel="Translations">
<title>Translations</title>
<para>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you
may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of
section <xref linkend="licenses-gfdl-section-5"/>. Replacing
<xref linkend="invariant-sections" />with translations
requires special permission from their copyright holders, but
you may include translations of some or all <xref
linkend="invariant-sections" /> in addition to the original
versions of these <xref linkend="invariant-sections" />. You
may include a translation of this License, and all the license
notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers,
provided that you also include the original English version of
this License and the original versions of those notices and
disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the
translation and the original version of this License or a
notice or disclaimer, the original version will
prevail.</para>
<para>If a section in the Document is Entitled
<quote>Acknowledgements</quote>, <quote>Dedications</quote>,
or <quote>History</quote>, the requirement (section <xref
linkend="licenses-gfdl-section-5" />) to Preserve its Title
(section <xref linkend="licenses-gfdl-section-2" />) will
typically require changing the actual title.</para>

Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
