       59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
       Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
       of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
     </programlisting>

     <sect1><title>0. PREAMBLE</title>

     <para>
       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>

     <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.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>

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

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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. (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>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       The "Cover Texts" 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.
     </para>

     <para>
       A "Transparent" copy of the Document 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 Transparent file format
       whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
       subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy
       that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
     </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
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       The "Title Page" 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, "Title Page" means the text near the most
       prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the
       beginning of the body of the text.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>2. VERBATIM COPYING</title>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated
       above, and you may publicly display copies.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>

     <para>
       If you publish printed copies 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.
     </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>

     <para>
       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 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 public.
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>4. MODIFICATIONS</title>

     <para>
       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:
     </para>

     <para>
      <itemizedlist spacing=compact>
       <listitem>
        <para>
        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.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	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 less than five).
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
	Modified Version, as the publisher.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your
	modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	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.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of
	Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the
	Document's license notice.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and 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 "History" 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.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
        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 "History" 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.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
        K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or
        "Dedications", preserve the section's title, and preserve in
        the section all the substance and tone of each of the
        contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	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.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a
	section may not be included in the Modified Version.
	</para>
       </listitem>
       <listitem>
        <para>
	N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or
	to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
	</para>
       </listitem>
      </itemizedlist>
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS</title>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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."
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS</title>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS</title>

     <para>
       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, does not as a whole count
       as a Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation
       copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is
       called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the
       other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on
       account of their being thus compiled, if they are not
       themselves derivative works of the Document.
     </para>

     <para>
       If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to
       these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than
       one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts
       may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within
       the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the
       whole aggregate.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>8. TRANSLATION</title>

     <para>
       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
       provided that you also include the original English version of
       this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation
       and the original English version of this License, the original
       English version will prevail.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>9. TERMINATION</title>

     <para>
       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.
     </para>

     </sect1>
     <sect1><title>10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE</title>

     <para>
       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/.
     </para>

     <para>
       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
       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.
