14 <para>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or |
|
15 other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to |
|
16 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with |
|
17 or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. |

18 Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way |

19 to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for |

20 modifications made by others.</para> |

|
22 <para>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative |
|
23 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It |
|
24 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license |
|
25 designed for free software.</para> |
|
26 |
|
27 <para>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for |
|
28 free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free |
|
29 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the |
|
30 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it |
|
31 can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or |
|
32 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License |
|
33 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.</para> |

40 it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice |

41 grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use |

42 that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, |

51 |
|
52 <para id="gfdl-secnd-sect">A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or |
|
53 a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the |
|
54 relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the |

55 Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing |
|
56 that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the |

57 Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may |
|
58 not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of |

59 historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of |

60 legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position |

61 regarding them.</para> |

66 this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of |

67 Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The |

85 file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to |

86 thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not |

87 Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any |

94 PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of |

95 transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats |

97 proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or |

134 of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept |

135 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough |

144 |
|
145 <para>If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly |
|
146 have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the |
|
147 Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the |
|
148 copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: |
|
149 Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back |
|
150 cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the |
|
151 publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title |
|
152 with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add |
|
153 other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited |
|
154 to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and |
|
155 satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other |
|
156 respects.</para> |
|
157 |
|
158 <para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit |
|
159 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit |
|
160 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent |
|
161 pages.</para> |
|
162 |
|
163 <para>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document |
|
164 numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable |
|
165 Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each |
|
166 Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general |
|
167 network-using public has access to download using public-standard |
|
168 network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of |
|
169 added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably |
|
170 prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, |
|
171 to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the |
|
172 stated location until at least one year after the last time you |
|
173 distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) |
|
174 of that edition to the public.</para> |

176 <para>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of |
