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.

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.

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.
