GNU-licentie voor vrije documentatie

Versie 1.3, 3 november 2008 Copyright © 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

Het is iedereen toegestaan om letterlijke kopieën te kopiëren en te distribueren van dit document onder licentie, maar het wijzigen is niet toegestaan.

0. Inleiding

Het doel van deze licentie is het maken van een handleiding, tekstboek of ander functioneel en nuttig document “vrij” in de zin van vrijwilligers: om iedereen te verzekeren van de effectieve vrijheid om het te kopiëren en opnieuw te verspreiden, met of zonder wijzigingen, ofwel commercieel of niet-commercieel. Ten tweede bewaart deze licentie voor de auteur en uitgever een manier om waardering voor hun werk te krijgen, terwijl ze niet aansprakelijk beschouwd kunnen worden voor wijzigingen gemaakt door anderen.

Deze licentie is een soort van “copyleft”, wat betekent dat afgeleide werken van het document zelf ook vrij moeten zijn op dezelfde manier. Het vult de GNU General Public License aan, die ontworpen is als een copyleft licentie voor vrije software.

We hebben deze licentie ontworpen om het te gebruiken voor handleidingen voor vrije software, omdat vrije software vrije documentatie nodig heeft: een vrij programma zou moeten komen met handleidingen die dezelfde vrijheid levert die de software levert. Maar deze licentie is niet beperkt tot softwarehandleidingen; het kan gebruikt worden voor alle tekstuele werk, ongeacht het onderwerp en of het wordt gepubliceerd als een gedrukt boek. We bevelen deze licentie in principe aan voor werken waarvan het doel instructie of naslag is.

1. Toepasbaarheid en definities

Deze licentie is van toepassing op elke handleiding of ander werk, in elk medium, dat een notitie bevat geplaatst door de houder van het copyright, die vertelt dat het gedistribueerd kan worden onder de bepalingen van deze licentie. Zo’n notitie geeft een wereldwijde, royalty-vrije licentie, ongelimiteerd in duur, aam dat werk onder de hierin bepaalde condities. Het onderstaande “Document verwijst naar zo’n handleiding of werk. Elk lid van het publiek is een licentie-ontvanger en er wordt naar verwezen als “u”. U accepteert de licentie als u het werk kopieert, modificeert of distribueert op een manier die toestemming vereist onder wet op het copyright.

Een “Gewijzigde versie” van het document betekent elk werk dat het document of een gedeelte ervan bevat, ofwel letterlijk gekopieerd of met wijzigingen en/of vertaald in een andere taal.

Een “Secundaire sectie” is een benoemde appendix of een inleidende sectie van het Document die uitsluitend handelt over de relatie van de uitgevers of auteurs van het Document tot het algemene onderwerp van het Document (of tot verwante zaken) en niets bevat dat direct binnen dat algemene onderwerp zou kunnen vallen. (Als het Document dus gedeeltelijk een wiskundeboek is, mag een Secundaire sectie geen wiskunde verklaren). De relatie kan een kwestie zijn van historische connectie met het onderwerp of met verwante zaken of van juridische, commerciële, filosofische, ethische of politieke standpunten ten aanzien daarvan.

De “Onveranderlijke secties” zijn bepaalde Secundaire secties waarvan de titels worden aangeduid als Onveranderlijke secties in de kennisgeving dat het Document onder deze licentie wordt vrijgegeven. Als een sectie niet voldoet aan de bovenstaande definitie van Secundair, mag deze niet als onveranderlijk worden aangemerkt. Het Document mag geen Onveranderlijke secties bevatten. Als het Document geen Onveranderlijke secties identificeert, zijn er geen.

De “omslagteksten” zijn bepaalde korte tekstpassages die, als vooromslagteksten of achteromslagteksten, worden vermeld in de mededeling dat het Document onder deze licentie wordt vrijgegeven. Een vooromslagtekst mag maximaal 5 woorden bevatten en een achteromslagtekst maximaal 25 woorden.

Een “Transparante” kopie van het Document is een machineleesbare kopie, weergegeven in een formaat waarvan de specificaties beschikbaar zijn voor het grote publiek, die geschikt is voor eenvoudige revisie van het document met algemene tekstbewerkers of (voor afbeeldingen die uit pixels bestaan) algemene tekenprogramma’s of (voor tekeningen) een algemeen verkrijgbare tekenbewerker, en die geschikt is voor invoer in tekstopmakers of voor automatische vertaling naar een verscheidenheid aan formaten die geschikt zijn voor invoer in tekstopmakers. Een kopie gemaakt in een anderszins transparant bestandsformaat waarvan de opmaak, of de afwezigheid van opmaak, is ingericht om latere wijziging door lezers te verhinderen of te ontmoedigen, is niet transparant. Een afbeeldingsformaat is niet transparant indien het wordt gebruikt voor een substantiële hoeveelheid tekst. Een kopie die niet “Transparant” is, wordt “Ondoorzichtig” genoemd.

Voorbeelden van geschikte formaten voor transparante kopieën zijn onder andere gewone ASCII zonder opmaak, Texinfo-invoerformaat, LaTeX-invoerformaat, SGML of XML met een openbaar beschikbare DTD, en standaardconforme, eenvoudige HTML, PostScript of PDF, ontworpen voor menselijke bewerking. Voorbeelden van transparante afbeeldingsformaten zijn PNG, XCF en JPG. Ondoorzichtige formaten zijn onder andere bedrijfseigen formaten die alleen kunnen worden gelezen en bewerkt door bedrijfseigen tekstverwerkers, SGML of XML waarvoor de DTD en/of verwerkingshulpmiddelen niet algemeen beschikbaar zijn, en de machinegegenereerde HTML, PostScript of PDF die door sommige tekstverwerkers uitsluitend voor uitvoerdoeleinden wordt geproduceerd.

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.

De “uitgever” betekent elke persoon of entiteit die kopieën van het Document distribueert aan het publiek.

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. Letterlijk kopiëren

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.

U kunt ook kopieën uitlenen onder dezelfde voorwaarden zoals boven aangegeven en u mag kopiëren publiek tonen.

3. Kopiëren in hoeveelheden

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. Wijzigingen

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. Geef op de Titelpagina de naam van de uitgever van de gewijzigde versie, als de uitgever.

  • D. Behoud alle copyright meldingen van het 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. Vertaling

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. Beëindigen

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 <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. 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.
