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 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 not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version C.6 COMBINING DOCUMENTS You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 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’ C.7 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 C.8 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 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 GNU Image Manipulation Program 640 / 653 C.9 TRANSLATION Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 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 C.10 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 C.11 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 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/ 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 C.12 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 copyrightand 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 1.2 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 LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the BackCover 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 GNU Image Manipulation
