+<section id="gfdl-0"><title>PREAMBLE</title>
+
+<para>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 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 "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.</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>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-1"><title>APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
+
+<para id="gfdl-doc">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 "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.</para>
+
+<para id="gfdl-mod-ver">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.</para>
+
+<para id="gfdl-secnd-sect">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.</para>
+
+<para id="gfdl-inv-sect">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 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 Sections then there are none.</para>
+
+<para id="gfdl-cov-text">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.</para>
+
+<para id="gfdl-transparent">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 markup, or absence of markup, 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".</para>
+
+<para>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,
+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="gfdl-title-page">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.</para>
+
+<para id="gfdl-entitled">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.</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>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-2"><title>VERBATIM COPYING</title>
+
+<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 large enough
+number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
+</para>
+
+<para>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
+and you may publicly display copies.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-3"><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 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
+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 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 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>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-4"><title>MODIFICATIONS</title>
+
+<para>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:</para>
+
+<orderedlist id="gfdl-modif-cond" numeration="upperalpha">
+  <title>GNU FDL Modification Conditions</title>
+<listitem><simpara>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.
+</simpara></listitem>
+<listitem><simpara>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more
+  persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in

+<listitem><simpara>Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve 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.
+</simpara></listitem>
+<listitem><simpara>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.
+</simpara></listitem>
+<listitem><simpara>For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or
+  "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
+  section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
+  acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
+</simpara></listitem>
+<listitem><simpara>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,

+</simpara></listitem>
+<listitem><simpara>Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
+</simpara></listitem>
+</orderedlist>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-5"><title>COMBINING DOCUMENTS</title>
+
+<para>You may combine the Document with other documents released under
+this License, under the terms defined in <link linkend="gfdl-4">section
+4</link> 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, and that you preserve all their
+Warranty Disclaimers.</para>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+
+<para>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".</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-6"><title>COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</title>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-7"><title>AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</title>
+
+<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 "aggregate" 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 3 is applicable to these
+copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
+the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers
+that bracket 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 whole
+aggregate.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-8"><title>TRANSLATION</title>
+
+<para>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, 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 "Acknowledgements",
+"Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its
+Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
+title.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-9"><title>TERMINATION</title>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-10"><title>FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE</title>
+
+<para>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/.</para>
+
+<para>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.</para>
+</section>
+
+<section id="gfdl-addendum"><title>ADDENDUM: How to use this License for
+  your documents</title>
+
+<para>To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy
+of the License in the document and put the following copyright and
+license notices just after the title page:</para>
+
+<blockquote id="copyright-sample">
+  <title>Sample Invariant Sections list</title><para>
+    Copyright (c)  YEAR  YOUR NAME.
+    Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
+    under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
+    or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
+    with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
+    A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
+    Free Documentation License".
+</para></blockquote>
+
+<para>If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
+Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:</para>
+
+<blockquote id="inv-cover-sample">
+  <title>Sample Invariant Sections list</title>
+<para>
+    with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
+    Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
+</para></blockquote>
+
+<para>If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
+combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
+situation.</para>
+
+<para>If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
+software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
+their use in free software.</para>
