+
+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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+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.
+
+.. _gfdl-1:
+
+Applicability and Definition
+############################
+
+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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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 publicly-accessible 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 public-standard 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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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:
+
+#. 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.
+
+#. 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).
+
+#. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
+ Modified Version, as the publisher.
+
+#. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
+
+#. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+ adjacent to the other copyright notices.
+
+#. 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.
+
+#. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
+ Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license
+ notice.
+
+#. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+
+#. 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.
+
+#. 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.
+
+#. 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.
+
+#. 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.
+
+#. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may
+ not be included in the Modified Version.
+
+#. 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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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."
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+.. _gfdl-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.
+
+.. _gfdl-howto:
+
+How to use this License for your documents
+##########################################
+
+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:
+
+ 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 1.1 or any later version published by
+ the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being LIST
+ THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the
+ Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy of the license is included in the
+ section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".
+
+If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant
+Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no
+Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover
+Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
+
+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.
+
