        <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>

        <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>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>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 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 <quote>Invariant Sections</quote> 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.  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 Sections then there are none.</para>
        
        <para>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>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 Transparent file format whose markup, or absence
        of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage
        subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.  An
        image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial
        amount of text.  A copy that is not <quote>Transparent</quote>
        is called <quote>Opaque</quote>.</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, 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>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>

        <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>

        <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 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 computer-network
        location from which the general network-using public has
        access to download using public-standard network protocols a
        complete 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 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>
