| 11 | |
| 12 | The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 13 | written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone |
| 14 | the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without |
| 15 | modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, |
| 16 | this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get |
| 17 | credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for |
| 18 | modifications made by others. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 19 | |
| 20 | This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative |
| 21 | works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It |
| 22 | complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft |
| 23 | license designed for free software. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free |
| 26 | software, because free software needs free documentation: a free |
| 27 | program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the |
| 28 | software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; |
| 29 | it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or |
| 30 | whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License |
| 31 | principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | |
| 34 | 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS |
| 35 | |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 36 | This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a |
| 37 | notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed |
| 38 | under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any |
| 39 | such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is |
| 40 | addressed as "you". |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 41 | |
| 42 | A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the |
| 43 | Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with |
| 44 | modifications and/or translated into another language. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of |
| 47 | the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the |
| 48 | publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject |
| 49 | (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 50 | within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 51 | textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any |
| 52 | mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical |
| 53 | connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, |
| 54 | commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding |
| 55 | them. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles |
| 58 | are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 59 | that says that the Document is released under this License. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 60 | |
| 61 | The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, |
| 62 | as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 63 | the Document is released under this License. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 64 | |
| 65 | A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, |
| 66 | represented in a format whose specification is available to the |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 67 | general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 68 | straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of |
| 69 | pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available |
| 70 | drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or |
| 71 | for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input |
| 72 | to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 73 | format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage |
| 74 | subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is |
| 75 | not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 76 | |
| 77 | Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain |
| 78 | ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML |
| 79 | or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 80 | HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include |
| 81 | PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only |
| 82 | by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 83 | processing tools are not generally available, and the |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 84 | machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output |
| 85 | purposes only. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 86 | |
| 87 | The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, |
| 88 | plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material |
| 89 | this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in |
| 90 | formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means |
| 91 | the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, |
| 92 | preceding the beginning of the body of the text. |
| 93 | |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 94 | |
| 95 | 2. VERBATIM COPYING |
| 96 | |
| 97 | You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either |
| 98 | commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the |
| 99 | copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies |
| 100 | to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other |
| 101 | conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use |
| 102 | technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further |
| 103 | copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept |
| 104 | compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough |
| 105 | number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and |
| 108 | you may publicly display copies. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | |
| 111 | 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY |
| 112 | |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 113 | If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, |
| 114 | and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose |
| 115 | the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 116 | Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on |
| 117 | the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify |
| 118 | you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present |
| 119 | the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and |
| 120 | visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. |
| 121 | Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve |
| 122 | the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated |
| 123 | as verbatim copying in other respects. |
| 124 | |
| 125 | If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit |
| 126 | legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit |
| 127 | reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent |
| 128 | pages. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering |
| 131 | more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent |
| 132 | copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 133 | a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete |
| 134 | Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the |
| 135 | general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no |
| 136 | charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter |
| 137 | option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin |
| 138 | distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this |
| 139 | Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location |
| 140 | until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque |
| 141 | copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to |
| 142 | the public. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 143 | |
| 144 | It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the |
| 145 | Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give |
| 146 | them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. |
| 147 | |
| 148 | |
| 149 | 4. MODIFICATIONS |
| 150 | |
| 151 | You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under |
| 152 | the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release |
| 153 | the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified |
| 154 | Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution |
| 155 | and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy |
| 156 | of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: |
| 157 | |
| 158 | A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct |
| 159 | from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions |
| 160 | (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section |
| 161 | of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version |
| 162 | if the original publisher of that version gives permission. |
| 163 | B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities |
| 164 | responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified |
| 165 | Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 166 | Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 167 | C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the |
| 168 | Modified Version, as the publisher. |
| 169 | D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. |
| 170 | E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications |
| 171 | adjacent to the other copyright notices. |
| 172 | F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice |
| 173 | giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the |
| 174 | terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. |
| 175 | G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections |
| 176 | and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. |
| 177 | H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 178 | I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to |
| 179 | it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 180 | publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 181 | there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 182 | stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as |
| 183 | given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified |
| 184 | Version as stated in the previous sentence. |
| 185 | J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for |
| 186 | public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise |
| 187 | the network locations given in the Document for previous versions |
| 188 | it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. |
| 189 | You may omit a network location for a work that was published at |
| 190 | least four years before the Document itself, or if the original |
| 191 | publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 192 | K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", |
| 193 | preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the |
| 194 | substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 195 | and/or dedications given therein. |
| 196 | L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, |
| 197 | unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers |
| 198 | or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 199 | M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 200 | may not be included in the Modified Version. |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 201 | N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 202 | or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 203 | |
| 204 | If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or |
| 205 | appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material |
| 206 | copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all |
| 207 | of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the |
| 208 | list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. |
| 209 | These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. |
| 210 | |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 211 | You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 212 | nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various |
| 213 | parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has |
| 214 | been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a |
| 215 | standard. |
| 216 | |
| 217 | You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a |
| 218 | passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list |
| 219 | of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of |
| 220 | Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or |
| 221 | through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already |
| 222 | includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or |
| 223 | by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, |
| 224 | you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit |
| 225 | permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. |
| 226 | |
| 227 | The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License |
| 228 | give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or |
| 229 | imply endorsement of any Modified Version. |
| 230 | |
| 231 | |
| 232 | 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS |
| 233 | |
| 234 | You may combine the Document with other documents released under this |
| 235 | License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified |
| 236 | versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the |
| 237 | Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and |
| 238 | list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 239 | license notice. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 240 | |
| 241 | The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and |
| 242 | multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single |
| 243 | copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but |
| 244 | different contents, make the title of each such section unique by |
| 245 | adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original |
| 246 | author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. |
| 247 | Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of |
| 248 | Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. |
| 249 | |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 250 | In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" |
| 251 | in the various original documents, forming one section entitled |
| 252 | "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", |
| 253 | and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections |
| 254 | entitled "Endorsements." |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 255 | |
| 256 | |
| 257 | 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS |
| 258 | |
| 259 | You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents |
| 260 | released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this |
| 261 | License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in |
| 262 | the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for |
| 263 | verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. |
| 264 | |
| 265 | You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute |
| 266 | it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this |
| 267 | License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all |
| 268 | other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. |
| 269 | |
| 270 | |
| 271 | 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS |
| 272 | |
| 273 | A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate |
| 274 | and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 275 | distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version |
| 276 | of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the |
| 277 | compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this |
| 278 | License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled |
| 279 | with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they |
| 280 | are not themselves derivative works of the Document. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 281 | |
| 282 | If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 283 | copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter |
| 284 | of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on |
| 285 | covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. |
| 286 | Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 287 | |
| 288 | |
| 289 | 8. TRANSLATION |
| 290 | |
| 291 | Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may |
| 292 | distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. |
| 293 | Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special |
| 294 | permission from their copyright holders, but you may include |
| 295 | translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the |
| 296 | original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a |
Patrick Williams | f1e5d69 | 2016-03-30 15:21:19 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 297 | translation of this License provided that you also include the |
| 298 | original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement |
| 299 | between the translation and the original English version of this |
| 300 | License, the original English version will prevail. |
Patrick Williams | c124f4f | 2015-09-15 14:41:29 -0500 | [diff] [blame] | 301 | |
| 302 | |
| 303 | 9. TERMINATION |
| 304 | |
| 305 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except |
| 306 | as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to |
| 307 | copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will |
| 308 | automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, |
| 309 | parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this |
| 310 | License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
| 311 | parties remain in full compliance. |
| 312 | |
| 313 | |
| 314 | 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE |
| 315 | |
| 316 | The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions |
| 317 | of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new |
| 318 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may |
| 319 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See |
