+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.

+
+The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as

+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

+
+Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII

+ COPYING IN QUANTITY
+\layout Standard
+
+If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed
+ covers) 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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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 computer-network
+ location from which the general network-using public has access to download
+ using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of
+ the Document, free of added material.
+ 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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.

+ requirement.
+ C.
+ State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version,

+ Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+ I.
+ Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to

+ of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page.
+ If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating

+ J.
+ Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public

+ K.
+ For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve
+ the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance
+ and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications
+ given therein.
+ L.
+ 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.
+ M.
+ Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements".
+ Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.
+ N.
+ Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to
+ conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
+ O.
+ Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout 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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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 endorseme
+nt of any Modified Version.
+\layout Standard
+
+5.
+ COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+\layout Standard
+
+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, and that you preserve all
+ their Warranty Disclaimers.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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".
+\layout Standard
+
+6.
+ COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+7.
+ AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+\layout Standard
+
+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, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilatio
+n is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond
+ what the individual works permit.
+ When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply
+ to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative
+ works of the Document.
+\layout Standard
+
+If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies
+ of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire
+ aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket
+ the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers
+ if the Document is in electronic form.
+ Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.
+\layout Standard
+
+8.
+ TRANSLATION
+\layout Standard
+
+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, and all the license notices
+ in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
+ the original English version of this License and the original versions
+ of those notices and disclaimers.
+ In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version
+ of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
+\layout Standard
+
+If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications",
+ or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section
+ 1) will typically require changing the actual title.
+\layout Standard
+
+9.
+ TERMINATION
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
+\layout Standard
+
+10.
+ FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+\layout Standard
+
+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/.
+\layout Standard
+
+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 Foundatio
+n.
+ 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.
+\layout Standard
+
+ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
+\layout Standard
+
+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:
+\layout Standard
+
+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 1.2 or any later
+ version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections,
+ no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
+ A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentati
+on License".
+\layout Standard
+
+If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
+ replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
+\layout Standard
+
+with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover
+ Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
+\layout Standard
+
+If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination
+ of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.
+\layout Standard
+
+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.
