The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, - or other written document "free" 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.
This License applies to any manual or other work that - contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be - distributed under the terms of this License. The "Document", - below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the - public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".
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. - (For example, 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.
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 "Transparent" copy of the Document means a - machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification - is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed - and edited directly and 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 has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent - modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not - "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include - plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input - format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and - standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. - Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that - can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML - or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally - available, and the machine-generated HTML 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.
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.
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.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated - above, and you may publicly display copies.
If you publish printed copies 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 publicly-accessible - computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy - of the Document, free of added material, which the general - network-using public has access to download anonymously at no - charge using public-standard network protocols. 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.
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:
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.
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).
State on the Title page - the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the - publisher.
Preserve all the - copyright notices of the Document.
Add an appropriate - copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other - copyright notices.
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.
Preserve in that license - notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover - Texts given in the Document's license notice.
Include an unaltered - copy of this License.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Delete any section - entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in - the Modified Version.
Do not retitle any - existing section as "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with - any Invariant Section.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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, does not as a whole count as a - Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation - copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is - called an "aggregate", and this License does not apply to the - other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on - account of their being thus compiled, if they 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 quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts - may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the - aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole - aggregate.
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 provided that you also - include the original English version of this License. In case of - a disagreement between the translation and the original English - version of this License, the original English version will - prevail.
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.
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 1.1 - or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; - with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the - Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. - A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU - Free Documentation License".
If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant - Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have - no Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of - "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover - Texts.
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.
Fenris can be found at http://fenris.lokigames.com. It is a fork from Bugzilla.
Issuezilla is another fork from Bugzilla, and seems nearly - as popular as the Red Hat Bugzilla fork. Some Issuezilla team - members are regular contributors to the Bugzilla mailing - list/newsgroup. Issuezilla is not the primary focus of - bug-tracking at tigris.org, however. Their Java-based - bug-tracker, Scarab, a newfangled Java-based issue tracker, is under heavy development - and looks promising!
Although Perforce isn't really a bug tracker, it can be used - as such through the "jobs" functionality.
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note052.htmlhttp://www.perforce.com/perforce/technotes/note052.html
Scarab is a promising new bug-tracking system built using - Java Serlet technology. As of this writing, no source code has - been released as a package, but you can obtain the code from - CVS. -
SourceForge is more of a way of coordinating geographically - distributed free software and open source projects over the - Internet than strictly a bug tracker, but if you're hunting for - bug-tracking for your open project, it may be just what the - software engineer ordered!
