|
| 1 Introduction |
| |
|
|
| This package makes the C formatted output routines (‘fprintf’ et al.) |
| usable in C++ programs, for use with the ‘<string>’ strings and the |
| ‘<iostream>’ streams. |
|
|
| It allows to write code like |
|
|
| cerr << autosprintf ("syntax error in %s:%d: %s", filename, line, errstring); |
|
|
| instead of |
|
|
| cerr << "syntax error in " << filename << ":" << line << ": " << errstring; |
|
|
| The benefits of the autosprintf syntax are: |
|
|
| • It reuses the standard POSIX printf facility. Easy migration from |
| C to C++. |
|
|
| • English sentences are kept together. |
|
|
| • It makes internationalization possible. Internationalization |
| requires format strings, because in some cases the translator needs |
| to change the order of a sentence, and more generally it is easier |
| for the translator to work with a single string for a sentence than |
| with multiple string pieces. |
|
|
| • It reduces the risk of programming errors due to forgotten state in |
| the output stream (e.g. ‘cout << hex;’ not followed by ‘cout << |
| dec;’). |

|
|
| 2 The ‘autosprintf’ class |
| |
|
|
| An instance of class ‘autosprintf’ just contains a string with the |
| formatted output result. Such an instance is usually allocated as an |
| automatic storage variable, i.e. on the stack, not with ‘new’ on the |
| heap. |
|
|
| The constructor ‘autosprintf (const char *format, ...)’ takes a |
| format string and additional arguments, like the C function ‘printf’. |
|
|
| Conversions to ‘char *’ and ‘std::string’ are defined that return the |
| encapsulated string. The conversion to ‘char *’ returns a freshly |
| allocated copy of the encapsulated string; it needs to be freed using |
| ‘delete[]’. The conversion to ‘std::string’ returns a copy of the |
| encapsulated string, with automatic memory management. |
|
|
| The destructor ‘~autosprintf ()’ destroys the encapsulated string. |
|
|
| An ‘operator <<’ is provided that outputs the encapsulated string to |
| the given ‘ostream’. |

|
|
| 3 Using ‘autosprintf’ in own programs |
| |
|
|
| To use the ‘autosprintf’ class in your programs, you need to add |
|
|
| #include "autosprintf.h" |
| using gnu::autosprintf; |
|
|
| to your source code. The include file defines the class ‘autosprintf’, |
| in a namespace called ‘gnu’. The ‘using’ statement makes it possible to |
| use the class without the (otherwise natural) ‘gnu::’ prefix. |
|
|
| When linking your program, you need to link with ‘libasprintf’, |
| because that's where the class is defined. In projects using GNU |
| ‘autoconf’, this means adding ‘AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([asprintf])’ to |
| ‘configure.in’ or ‘configure.ac’, and using the @LIBASPRINTF@ Makefile |
| variable that it provides. |

| A.1 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| ===================================== |
|
|
| Version 2.1, February 1999 |
|
|
| Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| <https: |
|
|
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
|
| [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts |
| as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the |
| version number 2.1.] |
|
|
| Preamble |
| -------- |
|
|
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom |
| to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses |
| are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
| software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
|
|
| This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
| specially designated software--typically libraries--of the Free Software |
| Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, |
| but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or |
| the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any |
| particular case, based on the explanations below. |
|
|
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
| not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
| you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
| for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
| it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it |
| in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these |
| things. |
|
|
| To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
| rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
| you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
|
|
| For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
| or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
| you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
| code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
| complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
| with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. |
| And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
|
|
| We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
| library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
| permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
|
|
| To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there |
| is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified |
| by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they |
| have is not the original version, so that the original author's |
| reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by |
| others. |
|
|
| Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
| any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
| effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
| restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any |
| patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent |
| with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
|
|
| Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
| ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
| General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is |
| quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this |
| license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries |
| into non-free programs. |
|
|
| When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
| a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
| combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
| General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire |
| combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public |
| License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the |
| library. |
|
|
| We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it |
| does _Less_ to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
| Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of |
| an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are |
| the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
| libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
| special circumstances. |
|
|
| For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
| encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it |
| becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be |
| allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library |
| does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, |
| there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software |
| only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
|
|
| In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
| programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free |
| software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free |
| programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, |
| as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. |
|
|
| Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
| users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked |
| with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program |
| using a modified version of the Library. |
|
|
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
| "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
| former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
| be combined with the library in order to run. |
|
|
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
| program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
| other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms |
| of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
| Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
|
|
| A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
| prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
| (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
|
|
| The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
| which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
| Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
| copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
| portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or |
| translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, |
| translation is included without limitation in the term |
| "modification".) |
|
|
| "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
| making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code |
| means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
| associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
| control compilation and installation of the library. |
|
|
| Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are |
| not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act |
| of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and |
| output from such a program is covered only if its contents |
| constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of |
| the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true |
| depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the |
| Library does. |
|
|
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
| complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided |
| that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
| appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep |
| intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the |
| absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License |
| along with the Library. |
|
|
| You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
| and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange |
| for a fee. |
|
|
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of |
| it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
|
| a. The modified work must itself be a software library. |
|
|
| b. You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
| stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
|
| c. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
| charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
|
|
| d. If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or |
| a table of data to be supplied by an application program that |
| uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the |
| facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to |
| ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such |
| function or table, the facility still operates, and performs |
| whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. |
|
|
| (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots |
| has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
| application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
| application-supplied function or table used by this function |
| must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the |
| square root function must still compute square roots.) |
|
|
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the |
| Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate |
| works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply |
| to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But |
| when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a |
| work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on |
| the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees |
| extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part |
| regardless of who wrote it. |
|
|
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or |
| contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the |
| intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of |
| derivative or collective works based on the Library. |
|
|
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the |
| Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a |
| volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other |
| work under the scope of this License. |
|
|
| 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
| License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To |
| do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, |
| so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, |
| version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than |
| version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, |
| then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not |
| make any other change in these notices. |
|
|
| Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
| that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to |
| all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
|
|
| This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the |
| Library into a program that is not a library. |
|
|
| 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative |
| of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the |
| terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with |
| the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must |
| be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
| medium customarily used for software interchange. |
|
|
| If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy |
| the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
| distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
|
| 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
| Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled |
| or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such |
| a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
| therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
|
|
| However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
| creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because |
| it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses |
| the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
| Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
|
|
| When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header |
| file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may |
| be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is |
| not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work |
| can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a |
| library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely |
| defined by law. |
|
|
| If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
| structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
| functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
| file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a |
| derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus |
| portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
|
|
| Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
| distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section |
| 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
| whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
|
|
| 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link |
| a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work |
| containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under |
| terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification |
| of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for |
| debugging such modifications. |
|
|
| You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
| Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered |
| by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the |
| work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include |
| the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a |
| reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, |
| you must do one of these things: |
|
|
| a. Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
| machine-readable source code for the Library including |
| whatever changes were used in the work (which must be |
| distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is |
| an executable linked with the Library, with the complete |
| machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code |
| and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library |
| and then relink to produce a modified executable containing |
| the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who |
| changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will |
| not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use |
| the modified definitions.) |
|
|
| b. Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
| Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run |
| time a copy of the library already present on the user's |
| computer system, rather than copying library functions into |
| the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified |
| version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as |
| the modified version is interface-compatible with the version |
| that the work was made with. |
|
|
| c. Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least |
| three years, to give the same user the materials specified in |
| Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of |
| performing this distribution. |
|
|
| d. If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the |
| above specified materials from the same place. |
|
|
| e. Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
| materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
|
|
| For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
| Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
| reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special |
| exception, the materials to be distributed need not include |
| anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
| form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of |
| the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that |
| component itself accompanies the executable. |
|
|
| It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
| restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
| accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you |
| cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that |
| you distribute. |
|
|
| 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
| Library side-by-side in a single library together with other |
| library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such |
| a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the |
| work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is |
| otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
|
|
| a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
| based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
| facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
| Sections above. |
|
|
| b. Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
| that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
| where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same |
| work. |
|
|
| 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the |
| Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
| attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
| distribute the Library 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. |
|
|
| 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
| signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify |
| or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions |
| are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. |
| Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work |
| based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License |
| to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, |
| distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. |
|
|
| 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
| Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the |
| Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose |
| any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights |
| granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance |
| by third parties with this License. |
|
|
| 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent |
| issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, |
| agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this |
| License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this |
| License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously |
| your obligations under this License and any other pertinent |
| obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the |
| Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit |
| royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive |
| copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you |
| could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely |
| from distribution of the Library. |
|
|
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable |
| under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is |
| intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply |
| in other circumstances. |
|
|
| It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
| patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of |
| any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting |
| the integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
| implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
| generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
| through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is |
| willing to distribute software through any other system and a |
| licensee cannot impose that choice. |
|
|
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed |
| to be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
|
| 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, |
| the original copyright holder who places the Library under this |
| License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation |
| excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only |
| in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this |
| License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of |
| this License. |
|
|
| 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
| versions of the Lesser General Public 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. |
|
|
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
| Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to |
| it and "any later version", you have the option of following the |
| terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version |
| published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not |
| specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever |
| published by the Free Software Foundation. |
|
|
| 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
| programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
| write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
| copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
| Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
| decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free |
| status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the |
| sharing and reuse of software generally. |
|
|
| NO WARRANTY |
|
|
| 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
| WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE |
| LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS |
| AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |
| OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT |
| LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS |
| FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
| PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE |
| DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR |
| OR CORRECTION. |
|
|
| 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
| WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY |
| MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE |
| LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, |
| INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
| INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
| DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU |
| OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY |
| OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN |
| ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |

|
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that |
| everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting |
| redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of |
| the ordinary General Public License). |
|
|
| To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. |
| It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most |
| effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have |
| at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is |
| found. |
|
|
| ONE LINE TO GIVE THE LIBRARY'S NAME AND AN IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. |

| under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by |
| the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at |
| your option) any later version. |
|
|
| This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but |
| WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU |

| You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public |
| License along with this library; if not, see <https: |

|
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper |
| mail. |
|
|
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or |
| your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, |
| if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |

| A.2 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| ============================== |
|
|
| Version 2, June 1991 |
|
|
| Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| <https: |
|
|
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
|
| Preamble |
| ======== |
|
|
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom |
| to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is |
| intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to |
| make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public |
| License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and |
| to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free |
| Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public |
| License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. |
|
|
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
| price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
| have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
| this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if |
| you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
| free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
|
|
| To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
| These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
| distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
|
|
| For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
| gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
| you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
| source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
| rights. |
|
|
| We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, |
| and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
| distribute and/or modify the software. |
|
|
| Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
| that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
| software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
| want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
| that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
| authors' reputations. |
|
|
| Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
| patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
| program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
| program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
| patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
|
|
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| modification follow. |
|
|
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| =============================================================== |
|
|
| 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a |
| notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
| under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", |
| below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the |
| Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under |
| copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a |
| portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or |
| translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
| included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each |
| licensee is addressed as "you". |
|
|
| Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are |
| not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act |
| of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the |
| Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on |
| the Program (independent of having been made by running the |
| Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|
|
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source |
| code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
| conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
| copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
| notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
| warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of |
| this License along with the Program. |
|
|
| You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
| and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange |
| for a fee. |
|
|
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of |
| it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
|
| a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
| stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
|
| b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that |
| in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or |
| any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to |
| all third parties under the terms of this License. |
|
|
| c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
| when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
| interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display |
| an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and |
| a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you |
| provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the |
| program under these conditions, and telling the user how to |
| view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program |
| itself is interactive but does not normally print such an |
| announcement, your work based on the Program is not required |
| to print an announcement.) |
|
|
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the |
| Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate |
| works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply |
| to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But |
| when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a |
| work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on |
| the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees |
| extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part |
| regardless of who wrote it. |
|
|
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or |
| contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the |
| intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of |
| derivative or collective works based on the Program. |
|
|
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the |
| Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a |
| volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other |
| work under the scope of this License. |
|
|
| 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
| under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms |
| of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the |
| following: |
|
|
| a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
| source code, which must be distributed under the terms of |
| Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for |
| software interchange; or, |
|
|
| b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
| years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
| cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
| machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
| distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
| medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
|
| c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
| to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
| allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
| received the program in object code or executable form with |
| such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
|
|
| The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
| making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete |
| source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, |
| plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts |
| used to control compilation and installation of the executable. |
| However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need |
| not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source |
| or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so |
| on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless |
| that component itself accompanies the executable. |
|
|
| If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
| access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
| access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
| distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
|
| 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
| except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
| otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program 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. |
|
|
| 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
| signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify |
| or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions |
| are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. |
| Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work |
| based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License |
| to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, |
| distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. |
|
|
| 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
| Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject |
| to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
| restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted |
| herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third |
| parties to this License. |
|
|
| 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent |
| issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, |
| agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this |
| License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this |
| License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously |
| your obligations under this License and any other pertinent |
| obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the |
| Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit |
| royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive |
| copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you |
| could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely |
| from distribution of the Program. |
|
|
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable |
| under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is |
| intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply |
| in other circumstances. |
|
|
| It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
| patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of |
| any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting |
| the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
| implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
| generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
| through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is |
| willing to distribute software through any other system and a |
| licensee cannot impose that choice. |
|
|
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed |
| to be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
|
| 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, |
| the original copyright holder who places the Program under this |
| License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation |
| excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only |
| in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this |
| License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of |
| this License. |
|
|
| 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
| versions of the General Public 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. |
|
|
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
| Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to |
| it and "any later version", you have the option of following the |
| terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version |
| published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not |
| specify a version number of this License, you may choose any |
| version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
|
|
| 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
| programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the |
| author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by |
| the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software |
| Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision |
| will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of |
| all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
| and reuse of software generally. |
|
|
| NO WARRANTY |
|
|
| 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
| WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE |
| LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS |
| AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |
| OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT |
| LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS |
| FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
| PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE |
| DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR |
| OR CORRECTION. |
|
|
| 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
| WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY |
| MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE |
| LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, |
| INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
| INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
| DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU |
| OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY |
| OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN |
| ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
|
|
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
|
|
| Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| ======================================================= |
|
|
| If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these |
| terms. |
|
|
| To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
| to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
| convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
| "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
|
| ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. |
| Copyright (C) YYYY NAME OF AUTHOR |
|
|
| This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
| it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
| the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
| (at your option) any later version. |
|
|
| This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
| GNU General Public License for more details. |
|
|
| You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
| along with this program; if not, see <https: |
|
|
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper |
| mail. |
|
|
| If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like |
| this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
|
|
| Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR |
| Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
| This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
| under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
|
|
| The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the |
| appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the |
| commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show |
| c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your |
| program. |
|
|
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or |
| your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, |
| if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
|
|
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
| `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |
|
|
| SIGNATURE OF MOE GHOUL, 1 April 1989 |
| Moe Ghoul, President of Vice |
|
|
| This General Public License does not permit incorporating your |
| program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine |
| library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary |
| applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the |
| GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. |

| A.3 GNU Free Documentation License |
| ================================== |
|
|
| Version 1.3, 3 November 2008 |
|
|
| Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| <https: |
|
|
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
|
| 0. 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 "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. |
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
| 1. 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 |
| "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 |
| Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with |
| modifications and/or translated into another language. |
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
| 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. The Document may |
| contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify |
| any Invariant Sections then there are none. |
|
|
| 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. A |
| Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may |
| be at most 25 words. |
|
|
| A "Transparent" 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 |
| "Transparent" is called "Opaque". |
|
|
| 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 "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. |
|
|
| The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies |
| of the Document to the public. |
|
|
| A section "Entitled XYZ" 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 |
| "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) |
| To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the |
| Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" 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. |

| 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. |
|
|
| 3. 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. |
|
|
| 4. 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 "History", 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 "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. |
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
| K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", |
| 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 "Endorsements". Such a section |
| may not be included in the Modified Version. |
|
|
| N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled |
| "Endorsements" 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 "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. |
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
| 5. 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 |
| "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." |
|
|
| 6. 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. |
|
|
| 7. 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 "aggregate" 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. |
|
|
| 8. 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 "Acknowledgements", |
| "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to |
| Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the |
| actual title. |
|
|
| 9. TERMINATION |
|
|
| You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document |
| except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
| otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, |
| and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
|
|
| However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your |
| license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) |
| provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and |
| finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the |
| copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some |
| reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. |
|
|
| Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is |
| reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the |
| violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have |
| received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from |
| that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days |
| after your receipt of the notice. |
|
|
| Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate |
| the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you |
| under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not |
| permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the |
| same material does not give you any rights to use it. |
|
|
| 10. 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 |
| <https: |
|
|
| 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. If the Document specifies that a proxy can |
| decide which future versions of this License can be used, that |
| proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently |
| authorizes you to choose that version for the Document. |
|
|
| 11. RELICENSING |
|
|
| "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any |
| World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also |
| provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A |
| public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. |
| A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the |
| site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC |
| site. |
|
|
| "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 |
| license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit |
| corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, |
| California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license |
| published by that same organization. |
|
|
| "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or |
| in part, as part of another Document. |
|
|
| An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this |
| License, and if all works that were first published under this |
| License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently |
| incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover |
| texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior |
| to November 1, 2008. |
|
|
| The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the |
| site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, |
| 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. |
|
|
| 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 1.3 |
| 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 "with...Texts." 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. |
