192 \" The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
193 \" written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
194 \" the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
195 \" modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
196 \" this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
197 \" credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
198 \" modifications made by others.
200 \" This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
201 \" works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
202 \" complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
203 \" license designed for free software.
205 \" We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
206 \" software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
207 \" program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
208 \" software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
209 \" it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
210 \" whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
211 \" principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
213 \" 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
215 \" This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
216 \" notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
217 \" under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
218 \" such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
219 \" addressed as "you".
221 \" A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
222 \" Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
223 \" modifications and/or translated into another language.
225 \" A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
226 \" the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
227 \" publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
228 \" (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
229 \" within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
230 \" textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
231 \" mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
232 \" connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
233 \" commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
236 \" The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
237 \" are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
238 \" that says that the Document is released under this License.
240 \" The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
241 \" as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
242 \" the Document is released under this License.
244 \" A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
245 \" represented in a format whose specification is available to the
246 \" general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
247 \" straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
248 \" pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
249 \" drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
250 \" for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
251 \" to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
252 \" format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
253 \" subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
254 \" not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
256 \" Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
257 \" ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
258 \" or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
259 \" HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
260 \" PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
261 \" by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
262 \" processing tools are not generally available, and the
263 \" machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
266 \" The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
267 \" plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
268 \" this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
269 \" formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
270 \" the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
271 \" preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
273 \" 2. VERBATIM COPYING
275 \" You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
276 \" commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
277 \" copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
278 \" to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
279 \" conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
280 \" technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
281 \" copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
282 \" compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
283 \" number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
285 \" You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
286 \" you may publicly display copies.
288 \" 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
290 \" If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
291 \" and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
292 \" the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
293 \" Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
294 \" the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
295 \" you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
296 \" the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
297 \" visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
298 \" Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
299 \" the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
300 \" as verbatim copying in other respects.
302 \" If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
303 \" legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
304 \" reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
307 \" If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
308 \" more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
309 \" copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
310 \" a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
311 \" Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
312 \" general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
313 \" charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
314 \" option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
315 \" distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
316 \" Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
317 \" until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
318 \" copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
321 \" It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
322 \" Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
323 \" them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
327 \" You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
328 \" the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
329 \" the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
330 \" Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
331 \" and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
332 \" of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
334 \" A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
335 \" from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
336 \" (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
337 \" of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
338 \" if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
340 \" B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
341 \" responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
342 \" Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
343 \" Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
345 \" C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
346 \" Modified Version, as the publisher.
348 \" D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
350 \" E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
351 \" adjacent to the other copyright notices.
353 \" F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
354 \" giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
355 \" terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
356 \" Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
357 \" and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
359 \" H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
361 \" I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
362 \" it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
363 \" publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
364 \" there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
365 \" stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
366 \" given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
367 \" Version as stated in the previous sentence.
369 \" J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
370 \" public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
371 \" the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
372 \" it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
373 \" You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
374 \" least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
375 \" publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
377 \" K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
378 \" preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
379 \" substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
380 \" and/or dedications given therein.
382 \" L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
383 \" unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
384 \" or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
386 \" M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
387 \" may not be included in the Modified Version.
389 \" N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
390 \" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
392 \" If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
393 \" appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
394 \" copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
395 \" of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
396 \" list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
397 \" These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
399 \" You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
400 \" nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
401 \" parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
402 \" been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
405 \" You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
406 \" passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
407 \" of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
408 \" Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
409 \" through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
410 \" includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
411 \" by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
412 \" you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
413 \" permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
415 \" The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
416 \" give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
417 \" imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
420 \" 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
422 \" You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
423 \" License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
424 \" versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
425 \" Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
426 \" list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
429 \" The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
430 \" multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
431 \" copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
432 \" different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
433 \" adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
434 \" author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
435 \" Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
436 \" Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
438 \" In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
439 \" in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
440 \" "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
441 \" and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
442 \" entitled "Endorsements."
445 \" 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
447 \" You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
448 \" released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
449 \" License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
450 \" the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
451 \" verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
453 \" You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
454 \" it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
455 \" License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
456 \" other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
459 \" 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
461 \" A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
462 \" and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
463 \" distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
464 \" of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
465 \" compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
466 \" License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
467 \" with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
468 \" are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
470 \" If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
471 \" copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
472 \" of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
473 \" covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
474 \" Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
479 \" Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
480 \" distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
481 \" Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
482 \" permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
483 \" translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
484 \" original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
485 \" translation of this License provided that you also include the
486 \" original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
487 \" between the translation and the original English version of this
488 \" License, the original English version will prevail.
493 \" You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
494 \" as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
495 \" copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
496 \" automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
497 \" parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
498 \" License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
499 \" parties remain in full compliance.
502 \" 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
504 \" The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
505 \" of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
506 \" versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
507 \" differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
508 \" http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
510 \" Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
511 \" If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
512 \" License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
513 \" following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
514 \" of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
515 \" Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
516 \" number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
