24             This module is part of CPAN toolchain, or is treated as such. As such, it
25             follows the agreement of the Perl Toolchain Gang to require no newer version of
26             perl than v5.8.1. This version may change by agreement of the Toolchain Gang,
27             but for now is governed by the L<Lancaster

59             Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
60             of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
61              
62              
63             0. PREAMBLE
64              
65             The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
66             functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
67             assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
68             with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
69             Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
70             to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
71             for modifications made by others.
72              
73             This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
74             works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
75             complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
76             license designed for free software.
77              
78             We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
79             software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
80             program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
81             software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
82             it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
83             whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
84             principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
85              
86              
87             1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
88              
89             This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
90             contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
91             distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
92             world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
93             work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below,
94             refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
95             licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you
96             copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
97             under copyright law.
98              
99             A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
100             Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
101             modifications and/or translated into another language.
102              
103             A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
104             the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
105             publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
106             (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
107             within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
108             textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
109             mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
110             connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
111             commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
112             them.
113              
114             The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
115             are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
116             that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
117             section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
118             allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
119             Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
120             Sections then there are none.
121              
122             The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
123             as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
124             the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
125             be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
126              
127             A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
128             represented in a format whose specification is available to the
129             general public, that is suitable for revising the document
130             straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
131             pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
132             drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
133             for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
134             to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
135             format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
136             or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
137             An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
138             of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
139              
140             Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
141             ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
142             or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
143             HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
144             transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
145             include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
146             proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
147             processing tools are not generally available, and the
148             machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
149             processors for output purposes only.
150              
151             The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
152             plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
153             this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
154             formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
155             the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
156             preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
157              
158             A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose
159             title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
160             text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
161             specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements",
162             "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title"
163             of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
164             section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
165              
166             The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
167             states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
168             Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
169             License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
170             implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
171             no effect on the meaning of this License.
172              
173              
174             2. VERBATIM COPYING
175              
176             You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
177             commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
178             copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
179             to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
180             conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
181             technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
182             copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
183             compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
184             number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
185              
186             You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
187             you may publicly display copies.
188              
189              
190             3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
191              
192             If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
193             printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
194             Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
195             copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
196             Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
197             the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
198             you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
199             the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
200             visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
201             Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
202             the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
203             as verbatim copying in other respects.
204              
205             If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
206             legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
207             reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
208             pages.
209              
210             If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
211             more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
212             copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
213             a computer-network location from which the general network-using
214             public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
215             a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
216             If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
217             when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
218             that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
219             location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
220             Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
221             edition to the public.
222              
223             It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
224             Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
225             them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
226              
227              
228             4. MODIFICATIONS
229              
230             You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
231             the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
232             the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
233             Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
234             and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
235             of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
236              
237             A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
238             from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
239             (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
240             of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
241             if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
242             B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
243             responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
244             Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
245             Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
246             unless they release you from this requirement.
247             C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
248             Modified Version, as the publisher.
249             D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
250             E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
251             adjacent to the other copyright notices.
252             F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
253             giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
254             terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
255             G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
256             and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
257             H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
258             I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add
259             to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
260             publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
261             there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one
262             stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
263             given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
264             Version as stated in the previous sentence.
265             J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
266             public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
267             the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
268             it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
269             You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
270             least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
271             publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
272             K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
273             Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
274             the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
275             and/or dedications given therein.
276             L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
277             unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
278             or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
279             M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
280             may not be included in the Modified Version.
281             N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements"
282             or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
283             O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
284              
285             If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
286             appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
287             copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
288             of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
289             list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
290             These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
291              
292             You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
293             nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
294             parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
295             been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
296             standard.
297              
298             You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
299             passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
300             of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
301             Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
302             through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
303             includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
304             by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
305             you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
306             permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
307              
308             The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
309             give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
310             imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
311              
312              
313             5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
314              
315             You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
316             License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
317             versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
318             Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
319             list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
320             license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
321              
322             The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
323             multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
324             copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
325             different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
326             adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
327             author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
328             Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
329             Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
330              
331             In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History"
332             in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
333             "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements",
334             and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
335             Entitled "Endorsements".
336              
337              
338             6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
339              
340             You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
341             released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
342             License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
343             the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
344             verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
345              
346             You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
347             it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
348             License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
349             other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
350              
351              
352             7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
353              
354             A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
355             and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
356             distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright
357             resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
358             of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
359             When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
360             apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
361             derivative works of the Document.
362              
363             If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
364             copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
365             the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
366             covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
367             electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
368             Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
369             aggregate.
370              
371              
372             8. TRANSLATION
373              
374             Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
375             distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
376             Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
377             permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
378             translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
379             original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
380             translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
381             Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
382             the original English version of this License and the original versions
383             of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
384             the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
385             or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
386              
387             If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
388             "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
389             its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
390             title.
391              
392              
393             9. TERMINATION
394              
395             You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
396             as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
397             copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
398             automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
399             parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
400             License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
401             parties remain in full compliance.
402              
403              
404             10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
405              
406             The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
407             of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
408             versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
409             differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
410             http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
411              
412             Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
413             If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
414             License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
415             following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
416             of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
417             Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
418             number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
419             as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
420              
421              
422             ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
423              
424             To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
425             the License in the document and put the following copyright and
426             license notices just after the title page:
427              
428             Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
429             Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
430             under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
431             or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
432             with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
433             A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
434             Free Documentation License".
435              
436             If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts,
437             replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
438              
439             with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
440             Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
441              
442             If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
443             combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
444             situation.
445              
446             If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
447             recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
448             free software license, such as the GNU General Public License,
449             to permit their use in free software.
