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 _f_r_e_e
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
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 1
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 2
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies
include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input
format, LaTeX input format, @acronym{SGML} or
@acronym{XML} using a publicly available
@acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple
@acronym{HTML}, PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed
for human modification. Examples of transparent image
formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
@acronym{JPG}. Opaque formats include proprietary
formats that can be read and edited only by
proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
@acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or
processing tools are not generally available, and the
machine-generated @acronym{HTML}, PostScript or
@acronym{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.
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.
2. VERBATIM COPYING
You may copy and distribute the Document in any
medium, either commercially or noncommercially,
provided that this License, the copyright notices, and
the license notice saying this License applies to the
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 3
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 4
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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'',
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 5
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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,
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 6
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 7
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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 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 Warrany 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
gcc-3.4.6 2006-03-06 8
GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
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 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.
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
.
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.
AADDDDEENNDDUUMM:: HHooww ttoo uussee tthhiiss LLiicceennssee ffoorr yyoouurr ddooccuummeennttss
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:

GFDL(7) GNU GFDL(7)
Copyright (C) .
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and
Back-Cover Texts, replace the ``with...Texts.'' line with
this:
with the Invariant Sections being , with
the Front-Cover Texts being , and with the Back-Cover Texts
being .
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.
