14.2 GNU Free Documentation License

Version 1.1, March 2000

Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

0. Preamble

The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written 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 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.

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.

50 Credits and License

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.

1. Applicability And Definitions

This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can

be distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any

member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".

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. (For example, 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.

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 "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and 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 has

been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not

"Transparent" is called "Opaque".

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 designed

for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, 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 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.

2. Verbatim Copying

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 3.

You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

3. Copying In Quantity

If you publish printed copies 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.

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.

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 publiclyaccessible computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added

material, which the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using publicstandard network protocols. 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.

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.

4. Modifications

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above,

provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role

of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy

of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of

previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may

use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.

2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its

principal authors, if it has less than five).

3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.

4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.

6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the

Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.

7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s license notice.

8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

9. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new

authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled "-

History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given

on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the

Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on.

These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published

at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives

permission.

11. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve the section’s title, and preserve in the

section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given

therein.

12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers

or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.

13. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.

14. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and

contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as

invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s license notice. These

titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified

Version by various parties–for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover

Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one

of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already

includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you

are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the

previous publisher that added the old one.

The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for

publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

5. Combining Documents

You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in

section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of

all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license

notice.

The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be

replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but 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 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one

section entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections entitled

"Dedications". You must delete all sections entitled "Endorsements."

6. Collections Of Documents

You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and

replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the

collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all

other respects.

You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided

you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding

verbatim copying of that document.

7. Aggregation With Independent Works

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, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the Document,

provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and

this License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their

being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is

less than one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround

only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.

8. Translation

Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms

of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders,

but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant

Sections. You may include a translation of this License provided that you also include the original English version of

this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original English version of this License, the

original English version will prevail.

9. Termination

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this

License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically

terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this

License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

10. Future Revisions Of This License

The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from

time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new

problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular

numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and

conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free

Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any

version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
