     Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
     document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License,
     Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software
     Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with the Front-Cover Texts

A.1 GNU Free Documentation License

                          Version 1.2, November 2002

     Copyright © 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA

     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

 1. PREAMBLE

    The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
    functional and useful 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.

    This License is a kind of ΓÇ£copyleftΓÇ¥, 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.

    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.
 2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

    This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
    contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
    distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
    world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work
    under the conditions stated herein. The ΓÇ£DocumentΓÇ¥, below, refers to any
    such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
    addressed as ΓÇ£youΓÇ¥. You accept the license if you copy, modify or
    distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.

    A ΓÇ£Modified VersionΓÇ¥ 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.

    A ΓÇ£Secondary SectionΓÇ¥ 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.

    The ΓÇ£Invariant SectionsΓÇ¥ 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 ΓÇ£Cover TextsΓÇ¥ are certain short passages of text that are listed, as
    Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the
    Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most
    5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.

    A ΓÇ£TransparentΓÇ¥ 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 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, or absence of markup, has
    been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is
    not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any
    substantial amount of text. A copy that is not ΓÇ£TransparentΓÇ¥ is called
    ΓÇ£OpaqueΓÇ¥.

    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, PostScript
    or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image
    formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include 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, PostScript or PDF produced by
    some word processors for output purposes only.

    The ΓÇ£Title PageΓÇ¥ means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus
    such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this
    License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do
    not have any title page as such, ΓÇ£Title PageΓÇ¥ means the text near the most
    prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the
    body of the text.

    A section ΓÇ£Entitled XYZΓÇ¥ means a named subunit of the Document whose title
    either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that
    translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section
    name mentioned below, such as ΓÇ£AcknowledgementsΓÇ¥, ΓÇ£DedicationsΓÇ¥,
    ΓÇ£EndorsementsΓÇ¥, or ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥.) To ΓÇ£Preserve the TitleΓÇ¥ of such a section
    when you modify the Document means that it remains a section ΓÇ£Entitled XYZΓÇ¥
    according to this definition.

    The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
    states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
    Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but
    only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these
    Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of
    this License.
 3. VERBATIM COPYING

    You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either 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 section 3.

    You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you
    may publicly display copies.
 4. COPYING IN QUANTITY

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
 5. MODIFICATIONS

    You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the
    conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the
    Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version
    filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and
    modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In
    addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
     A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from
        that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which
        should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the
        Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the
        original publisher of that version gives permission.
     B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
        responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
        Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
        Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
        unless they release you from this requirement.
     C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
        Version, as the publisher.
     D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
     E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to
        the other copyright notices.
     F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
        giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
        terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
     G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
        and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
     H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
     I. Preserve the section Entitled ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥, Preserve its Title, and add to
        it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher
        of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no
        section Entitled ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥ in the Document, create one stating the
        title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its
        Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated
        in the previous sentence.
     J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public
        access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network
        locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on.
        These may be placed in the ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥ section. You may omit a network
        location for a work that was published at least four years before the
        Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers
        to gives permission.
     K. For any section Entitled ΓÇ£AcknowledgementsΓÇ¥ or ΓÇ£DedicationsΓÇ¥, 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 ΓÇ£EndorsementsΓÇ¥. Such a section may not be
        included in the Modified Version.
     N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ΓÇ£EndorsementsΓÇ¥ or to
        conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
     O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.

    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.

    You may add a section Entitled ΓÇ£EndorsementsΓÇ¥, provided it contains nothing
    but endorsements of your Modified Version by various partiesΓÇöfor example,
    statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an
    organization as the authoritative definition of a 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.

    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
    endorsement of any Modified Version.
 6. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

    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.

    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.

    In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥ in the
    various original documents, forming one section Entitled ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥;
    likewise combine any sections Entitled ΓÇ£AcknowledgementsΓÇ¥, and any sections
    Entitled ΓÇ£DedicationsΓÇ¥. You must delete all sections Entitled
    ΓÇ£Endorsements.ΓÇ¥
 7. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

    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.

    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.
 8. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

    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 ΓÇ£aggregateΓÇ¥ if the copyright resulting
    from the compilation 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.

    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.
 9. TRANSLATION

    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.

    If a section in the Document is Entitled ΓÇ£AcknowledgementsΓÇ¥, ΓÇ£DedicationsΓÇ¥,
    or ΓÇ£HistoryΓÇ¥, the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1)
    will typically require changing the actual title.
10. TERMINATION

    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.
11. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

    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/.

    Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If
    the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License
    ΓÇ£or any later versionΓÇ¥ 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
    Foundation. 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.

A.1.1 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents

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:

       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 Documentation License''.

If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace
the ΓÇ£with...Texts.ΓÇ¥ line with this:

         with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with
         the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts
         being list.

If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination
of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.

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.
