+ The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or
+ other written document <quote>free</quote> 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This License is a kind of <quote>copyleft</quote>, 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.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.

+ <para id="fdl-document">
+ 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
+ <quote>Document</quote>, below, refers to any such manual or
+ work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed
+ as <quote>you</quote>.

+ <para id="fdl-modified">
+ A <quote>Modified Version</quote> of the Document means any work

+ language.
+ </para>
+
+ <para id="fdl-secondary">
+ A <quote>Secondary Section</quote> is a named appendix or a
+ front-matter section of the <link
+ linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> 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.

+ <para id="fdl-invariant">
+ The <quote>Invariant Sections</quote> are certain <link

+ A <quote>Transparent</quote> copy of the <link

+ 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 <quote>Transparent</quote> is called
+ <quote>Opaque</quote>.
+ </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 designed for human
+ modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF,
+ proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by

+ 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 <link
+ linkend="fdl-section3">section 3</link>.

+ <title>3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
+ <para>
+ If you publish printed copies of the <link
+ linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100,
+ and the Document's license notice requires <link
+ linkend="fdl-cover-texts">Cover Texts</link>, 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
+ <link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> and satisfy these
+ conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other
+ respects.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ 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.

+ <para>
+ If you publish or distribute <link
+ linkend="fdl-transparent">Opaque</link> copies of the <link

+ linkend="fdl-transparent">Transparent</link> 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
