+      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.

+
+    <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, in any medium,

+      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
+      "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
+      of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept
+      the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
+      requiring permission under copyright law.

+      A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the

+      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.
+    </para>
+
+    <para id="gfdl-inv-sect">
+      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.

+      does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.

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

+      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

+      standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for

+      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

+      The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+      plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the

+      works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title

+      A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document

+      stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as

+      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.
+    </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 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.
