PREAMBLE
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
Packit dd8086
functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
Packit dd8086
assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
Packit dd8086
with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
Packit dd8086
Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
Packit dd8086
to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
Packit dd8086
for modifications made by others.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
Packit dd8086
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.  It
Packit dd8086
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
Packit dd8086
license designed for free software.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
Packit dd8086
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
Packit dd8086
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
Packit dd8086
software does.  But this License is not limited to software manuals;
Packit dd8086
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
Packit dd8086
whether it is published as a printed book.  We recommend this License
Packit dd8086
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
Packit dd8086
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
Packit dd8086
distributed under the terms of this License.  Such a notice grants a
Packit dd8086
world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
Packit dd8086
work under the conditions stated herein.  The ``Document'', below,
Packit dd8086
refers to any such manual or work.  Any member of the public is a
Packit dd8086
licensee, and is addressed as ``you''.  You accept the license if you
Packit dd8086
copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
Packit dd8086
under copyright law.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
Packit dd8086
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
Packit dd8086
modifications and/or translated into another language.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section
Packit dd8086
of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
Packit dd8086
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
Packit dd8086
subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
Packit dd8086
directly within that overall subject.  (Thus, if the Document is in
Packit dd8086
part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
Packit dd8086
any mathematics.)  The relationship could be a matter of historical
Packit dd8086
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
Packit dd8086
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
Packit dd8086
them.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
Packit dd8086
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
Packit dd8086
that says that the Document is released under this License.  If a
Packit dd8086
section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
Packit dd8086
allowed to be designated as Invariant.  The Document may contain zero
Packit dd8086
Invariant Sections.  If the Document does not identify any Invariant
Packit dd8086
Sections then there are none.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
Packit dd8086
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
Packit dd8086
the Document is released under this License.  A Front-Cover Text may
Packit dd8086
be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
Packit dd8086
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
Packit dd8086
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
Packit dd8086
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
Packit dd8086
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
Packit dd8086
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
Packit dd8086
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
Packit dd8086
to text formatters.  A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
Packit dd8086
format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
Packit dd8086
or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
Packit dd8086
An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
Packit dd8086
of text.  A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
Packit dd8086
@sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
Packit dd8086
format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
Packit dd8086
@acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
Packit dd8086
PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification.  Examples
Packit dd8086
of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
Packit dd8086
@acronym{JPG}.  Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
Packit dd8086
read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
Packit dd8086
@acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
Packit dd8086
not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
Packit dd8086
PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
Packit dd8086
output purposes only.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
Packit dd8086
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
Packit dd8086
this License requires to appear in the title page.  For works in
Packit dd8086
formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
Packit dd8086
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
Packit dd8086
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
Packit dd8086
title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
Packit dd8086
text that translates XYZ in another language.  (Here XYZ stands for a
Packit dd8086
specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
Packit dd8086
``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.)  To ``Preserve the Title''
Packit dd8086
of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
Packit dd8086
section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
Packit dd8086
states that this License applies to the Document.  These Warranty
Packit dd8086
Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
Packit dd8086
License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
Packit dd8086
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
Packit dd8086
no effect on the meaning of this License.

Packit dd8086
VERBATIM COPYING
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
Packit dd8086
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
Packit dd8086
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
Packit dd8086
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
Packit dd8086
conditions whatsoever to those of this License.  You may not use
Packit dd8086
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
Packit dd8086
copying of the copies you make or distribute.  However, you may accept
Packit dd8086
compensation in exchange for copies.  If you distribute a large enough
Packit dd8086
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
Packit dd8086
you may publicly display copies.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
@item
Packit dd8086
COPYING IN QUANTITY
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
Packit dd8086
printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
Packit dd8086
Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
Packit dd8086
copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
Packit dd8086
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
Packit dd8086
the back cover.  Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
Packit dd8086
you as the publisher of these copies.  The front cover must present
Packit dd8086
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
Packit dd8086
visible.  You may add other material on the covers in addition.
Packit dd8086
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
Packit dd8086
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
Packit dd8086
as verbatim copying in other respects.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
Packit dd8086
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
Packit dd8086
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
Packit dd8086
pages.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
Packit dd8086
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
Packit dd8086
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
Packit dd8086
a computer-network location from which the general network-using
Packit dd8086
public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
Packit dd8086
a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
Packit dd8086
If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
Packit dd8086
when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
Packit dd8086
that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
Packit dd8086
location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
Packit dd8086
Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
Packit dd8086
edition to the public.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
Packit dd8086
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
Packit dd8086
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

MODIFICATIONS
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
Packit dd8086
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
Packit dd8086
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
Packit dd8086
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
Packit dd8086
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy

Packit dd8086
of the Document).  You may use the same title as a previous version
Packit dd8086
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.

Packit dd8086
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
Packit dd8086
it was based on.  These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
Packit dd8086
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
Packit dd8086
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
Packit dd8086
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.

Packit dd8086
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
Packit dd8086
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
Packit dd8086
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
Packit dd8086
of these sections as invariant.  To do this, add their titles to the
Packit dd8086
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
Packit dd8086
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
Packit dd8086
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
Packit dd8086
parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
Packit dd8086
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
Packit dd8086
standard.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
Packit dd8086
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
Packit dd8086
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version.  Only one passage of
Packit dd8086
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
Packit dd8086
through arrangements made by) any one entity.  If the Document already
Packit dd8086
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
Packit dd8086
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
Packit dd8086
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
Packit dd8086
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
Packit dd8086
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
Packit dd8086
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

COMBINING DOCUMENTS
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
Packit dd8086
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
Packit dd8086
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
Packit dd8086
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
Packit dd8086
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
Packit dd8086
license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
Packit dd8086
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
Packit dd8086
copy.  If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
Packit dd8086
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
Packit dd8086
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
Packit dd8086
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
Packit dd8086
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
Packit dd8086
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
Packit dd8086
in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
Packit dd8086
``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
Packit dd8086
and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''.  You must delete all
Packit dd8086
sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''

COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
Packit dd8086
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
Packit dd8086
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
Packit dd8086
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
Packit dd8086
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
Packit dd8086
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this

Packit dd8086
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
Packit dd8086
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
Packit dd8086
distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
Packit dd8086
resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
Packit dd8086
of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
Packit dd8086
When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
Packit dd8086
apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
Packit dd8086
derivative works of the Document.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
Packit dd8086
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
Packit dd8086
the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
Packit dd8086
covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
Packit dd8086
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
Packit dd8086
Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
Packit dd8086
aggregate.

TRANSLATION
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
Packit dd8086
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
Packit dd8086
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
Packit dd8086
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
Packit dd8086
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
Packit dd8086
original versions of these Invariant Sections.  You may include a
Packit dd8086
translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
Packit dd8086
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
Packit dd8086
the original English version of this License and the original versions
Packit dd8086
of those notices and disclaimers.  In case of a disagreement between
Packit dd8086
the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
Packit dd8086
or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
Packit dd8086
``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
Packit dd8086
its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
Packit dd8086
title.

Packit dd8086
as expressly provided for under this License.  Any other attempt to
Packit dd8086

Packit dd8086
automatically terminate your rights under this License.  However,

FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
Packit dd8086
of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time.  Such new
Packit dd8086
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
Packit dd8086
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  See
Packit dd8086

Packit dd8086
Packit dd8086
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
Packit dd8086
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
Packit dd8086
License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
Packit dd8086
following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
Packit dd8086
of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
