Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document free in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the
effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or non commercially. 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.
This License is a kind of copyleft , which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU
General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
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.
17.1 APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
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 worldwide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein.
The Document, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as you. You accept the license if you
copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.
A Modified Version 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.
A Secondary Section 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.
The Invariant Sections 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 _t 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.
The Cover Texts 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.
A Transparent 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 mark-up, or absence of mark-up, 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
Transparent is called Opaque .
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without mark-up, 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.
The Title Page 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, Title Page means the text near the most prominent appearance of
the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
A section Entitled XYZ 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 Acknowledgements , Dedications ,
Endorsements, or History.) To Preserve the Title of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section Entitled XYZ according
to this definition.
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.
17.2 VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or non commercially, 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 17.3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.
