        <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 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

        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>

        <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

        <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>

        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

        <para>In the combination, you must combine any sections
        Entitled <quote>History</quote> in the various original

        <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

        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

        <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

        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>,

        (section <xref linkend="licenses-gfdl-section-2" />) will
