      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.

    <para>
      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.
    </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.

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

      A <link linkend="fdl-modified">"Modified Version"</link> of the

      another language.

    <para id="fdl-secondary">
      A <link linkend="fdl-secondary">"Secondary Section"</link> 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 <link
      linkend="fdl-document"> Document</link> to the <link
      linkend="fdl-document"> Document's</link> overall subject (or to
      related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within
      that overall subject. (For example, if the <link
      linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> is in part a textbook of
      mathematics, a <link linkend="fdl-secondary">Secondary Section</link>
      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.

      A <link linkend="fdl-transparent">"Transparent"</link> copy of the
      <link linkend="fdl-document"> Document</link> 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 <link
      linkend="fdl-transparent"> Transparent</link> file format whose markup
      has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
      readers is not <link linkend="fdl-transparent">Transparent</link>.  A

      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 <link linkend="fdl-title-page">"Title Page"</link> means, for a

      in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title
      page as such, <link linkend="fdl-title-page"> "Title Page"</link>

      preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

      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

      The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and

      multiple <link linkend="fdl-invariant"> Invariant Sections</link> 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

      In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"

      "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
      and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
