joachim99@69 16 Version 1.1, March 2000
joachim99@69 17
joachim99@69 18 <P>Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
joachim99@69 19 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA<BR>
joachim99@69 20 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
joachim99@69 21 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</P>
joachim99@69 22
joachim99@69 23 <H2>0. Preamble</H2>
joachim99@69 24
joachim99@69 25 <P>The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
joachim99@69 26 written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
joachim99@69 27 the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
joachim99@69 28 modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
joachim99@69 29 this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
joachim99@69 30 credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
joachim99@69 31 modifications made by others.</P>
joachim99@69 32
joachim99@69 33 <P>This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
joachim99@69 34 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
joachim99@69 35 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
joachim99@69 36 license designed for free software.</P>
joachim99@69 37
joachim99@69 38 <P>We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
joachim99@69 39 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
joachim99@69 40 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
joachim99@69 41 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
joachim99@69 42 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
joachim99@69 43 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
joachim99@69 44 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.</P>
joachim99@69 45
joachim99@69 46 <H2>1. Applicability And Definitions</H2>
joachim99@69 47
joachim99@69 48 <P>This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
joachim99@69 49 notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
joachim99@69 50 under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
joachim99@69 51 such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
joachim99@69 52 addressed as "you".</P>
joachim99@69 53
joachim99@69 54 <P>A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
joachim99@69 55 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
joachim99@69 56 modifications and/or translated into another language.</P>
joachim99@69 57
joachim99@69 58 <P>A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
joachim99@69 59 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
joachim99@69 60 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
joachim99@69 61 (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
joachim99@69 62 within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
joachim99@69 63 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
joachim99@69 64 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
joachim99@69 65 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
joachim99@69 66 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
joachim99@69 67 them.</P>
joachim99@69 68
joachim99@69 69 <P>The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
joachim99@69 70 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
joachim99@69 71 that says that the Document is released under this License.</P>
joachim99@69 72
joachim99@69 73 <P>The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
joachim99@69 74 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
joachim99@69 75 the Document is released under this License.</P>
joachim99@69 76
joachim99@69 77 <P>A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
joachim99@69 78 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
joachim99@69 79 general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
joachim99@69 80 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
joachim99@69 81 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
joachim99@69 82 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
joachim99@69 83 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
joachim99@69 84 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
joachim99@69 85 format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
joachim99@69 86 subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
joachim99@69 87 not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".</P>
joachim99@69 88
joachim99@69 89 <P>Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
joachim99@69 90 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
joachim99@69 91 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
joachim99@69 92 HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
joachim99@69 93 PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
joachim99@69 94 by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
joachim99@69 95 processing tools are not generally available, and the
joachim99@69 96 machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
joachim99@69 97 purposes only.</P>
joachim99@69 98
joachim99@69 99 <P>The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
joachim99@69 100 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
joachim99@69 101 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
joachim99@69 102 formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
joachim99@69 103 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
joachim99@69 104 preceding the beginning of the body of the text.</P>
joachim99@69 105
joachim99@69 106 <H2>2. Verbatim Copying</H2>
joachim99@69 107
joachim99@69 108 <P>You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
joachim99@69 109 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
joachim99@69 110 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
joachim99@69 111 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
joachim99@69 112 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
joachim99@69 113 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
joachim99@69 114 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
joachim99@69 115 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
joachim99@69 116 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.</P>
joachim99@69 117
joachim99@69 118 <P>You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
joachim99@69 119 you may publicly display copies.</P>
joachim99@69 120
joachim99@69 121 <H2>3. Copying In Quantity</H2>
joachim99@69 122
joachim99@69 123 <P>If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
joachim99@69 124 and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
joachim99@69 125 the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
joachim99@69 126 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
joachim99@69 127 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
joachim99@69 128 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
joachim99@69 129 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
joachim99@69 130 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
joachim99@69 131 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
joachim99@69 132 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
joachim99@69 133 as verbatim copying in other respects.</P>
joachim99@69 134
joachim99@69 135 <P>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
joachim99@69 136 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
joachim99@69 137 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
joachim99@69 138 pages.</P>
joachim99@69 139
joachim99@69 140 <P>If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
joachim99@69 141 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
joachim99@69 142 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
joachim99@69 143 a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
joachim99@69 144 Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
joachim99@69 145 general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
joachim99@69 146 charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
joachim99@69 147 option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
joachim99@69 148 distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
joachim99@69 149 Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
joachim99@69 150 until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
joachim99@69 151 copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
joachim99@69 152 the public.</P>
joachim99@69 153
joachim99@69 154 <P>It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
joachim99@69 155 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
joachim99@69 156 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.</P>
joachim99@69 157
joachim99@69 158 <H2>4. Modifications</H2>
joachim99@69 159
joachim99@69 160 <P>You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
joachim99@69 161 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
joachim99@69 162 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
joachim99@69 163 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
joachim99@69 164 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
joachim99@69 165 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:</P>
joachim99@69 166
joachim99@69 167 <OL STYLE="list-style-type: upper-alpha;">
joachim99@69 168 <LI>Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
joachim99@69 169 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
joachim99@69 170 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
joachim99@69 171 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous
joachim99@69 172 version if the original publisher of that version gives
joachim99@69 173 permission.</LI>
joachim99@69 174
joachim99@69 175 <LI>List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
joachim99@69 176 entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the
joachim99@69 177 Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
joachim99@69 178 authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has
joachim99@69 179 less than five).</LI>
joachim99@69 180
joachim99@69 181 <LI>State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
joachim99@69 182 Version, as the publisher.</LI>
joachim99@69 183
joachim99@69 184 <LI>Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.</LI>
joachim99@69 185
joachim99@69 186 <LI>Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
joachim99@69 187 adjacent to the other copyright notices.</LI>
joachim99@69 188
joachim99@69 189 <LI>Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
joachim99@69 190 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
joachim99@69 191 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum
joachim99@69 192 below.</LI>
joachim99@69 193
joachim99@69 194 <LI>Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
joachim99@69 195 Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license
joachim99@69 196 notice.</LI>
joachim99@69 197
joachim99@69 198 <LI>Include an unaltered copy of this License.</LI>
joachim99@69 199
joachim99@69 200 <LI>Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
joachim99@69 201 it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
joachim99@69 202 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
joachim99@69 203 there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
joachim99@69 204 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
joachim99@69 205 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
joachim99@69 206 Version as stated in the previous sentence.</LI>
joachim99@69 207
joachim99@69 208 <LI>Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
joachim99@69 209 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
joachim99@69 210 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
joachim99@69 211 it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
joachim99@69 212 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
joachim99@69 213 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
joachim99@69 214 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.</LI>
joachim99@69 215
joachim99@69 216 <LI>In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
joachim99@69 217 preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
joachim99@69 218 substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
joachim99@69 219 and/or dedications given therein.</LI>
joachim99@69 220
joachim99@69 221 <LI>Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in
joachim99@69 222 their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent
joachim99@69 223 are not considered part of the section titles.</LI>
joachim99@69 224
joachim99@69 225 <LI>Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may
joachim99@69 226 not be included in the Modified Version.</LI>
joachim99@69 227
joachim99@69 228 <LI>Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to
joachim99@69 229 conflict in title with any Invariant Section.</LI>
joachim99@69 230 </OL>
joachim99@69 231
joachim99@69 232 <P>If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
joachim99@69 233 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
joachim99@69 234 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
joachim99@69 235 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
joachim99@69 236 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
joachim99@69 237 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.</P>
joachim99@69 238
joachim99@69 239 <P>You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
joachim99@69 240 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
joachim99@69 241 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
joachim99@69 242 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
joachim99@69 243 standard.</P>
joachim99@69 244
joachim99@69 245 <P>You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
joachim99@69 246 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
joachim99@69 247 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
joachim99@69 248 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
joachim99@69 249 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
joachim99@69 250 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
joachim99@69 251 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
joachim99@69 252 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
joachim99@69 253 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.</P>
joachim99@69 254
joachim99@69 255 <P>The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
joachim99@69 256 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
joachim99@69 257 imply endorsement of any Modified Version.</P>
joachim99@69 258
joachim99@69 259 <H2>5. Combining Documents</H2>
joachim99@69 260
joachim99@69 261 <P>You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
joachim99@69 262 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
joachim99@69 263 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
joachim99@69 264 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
joachim99@69 265 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
joachim99@69 266 license notice.</P>
joachim99@69 267
joachim99@69 268 <P>The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
joachim99@69 269 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
joachim99@69 270 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
joachim99@69 271 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
joachim99@69 272 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
joachim99@69 273 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
joachim99@69 274 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
joachim99@69 275 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.</P>
joachim99@69 276
joachim99@69 277 <P>In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
joachim99@69 278 in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
joachim99@69 279 "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
joachim99@69 280 and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
joachim99@69 281 entitled "Endorsements."</P>
joachim99@69 282
joachim99@69 283 <H2>6. Collections Of Documents</H2>
joachim99@69 284
joachim99@69 285 <P>You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
joachim99@69 286 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
joachim99@69 287 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
joachim99@69 288 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
joachim99@69 289 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.</P>
joachim99@69 290
joachim99@69 291 <P>You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
joachim99@69 292 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
joachim99@69 293 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
joachim99@69 294 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.</P>
joachim99@69 295
joachim99@69 296 <H2>7. Aggregation With Independent Works</H2>
joachim99@69 297
joachim99@69 298 <P>A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
joachim99@69 299 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
joachim99@69 300 distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
joachim99@69 301 of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
joachim99@69 302 compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
joachim99@69 303 License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
joachim99@69 304 with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
joachim99@69 305 are not themselves derivative works of the Document.</P>
joachim99@69 306
joachim99@69 307 <P>If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
joachim99@69 308 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
joachim99@69 309 of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
joachim99@69 310 covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
joachim99@69 311 Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.</P>
joachim99@69 312
joachim99@69 313 <H2>8. Translation</H2>
joachim99@69 314
joachim99@69 315 <P>Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
joachim99@69 316 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
joachim99@69 317 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
joachim99@69 318 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
joachim99@69 319 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
joachim99@69 320 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
joachim99@69 321 translation of this License provided that you also include the
joachim99@69 322 original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
joachim99@69 323 between the translation and the original English version of this
joachim99@69 324 License, the original English version will prevail.</P>
joachim99@69 325
joachim99@69 326 <H2>9. Termination</H2>
joachim99@69 327
joachim99@69 328 <P>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
joachim99@69 329 as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
joachim99@69 330 copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
joachim99@69 331 automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
joachim99@69 332 parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
joachim99@69 333 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
joachim99@69 334 parties remain in full compliance.</P>
joachim99@69 335
joachim99@69 336 <H2>10. Future Revisions Of This License</H2>
joachim99@69 337
joachim99@69 338 <P>The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
joachim99@69 339 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
joachim99@69 340 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
joachim99@69 341 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
