>A.5. 4. MODIFICATIONS</H1
><P
>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:
</P
><P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>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.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>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 less than five).
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>C. State on the Title Page the name of the publisher of the Modified
Version, as the publisher.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to
the other copyright notices.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>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.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and 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.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>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.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", preserve
the section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and
tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given
therein.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>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.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be
included in the Modified Version.
</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict
in title with any Invariant Section.
</P
><P
>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.
</P
><P
>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.
</P
><P
>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.
</P
><P
>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 .
