1 Overview
**********
GNU LibreJS --an add-on for GNU IceCat and Mozilla Firefox-- detects and
blocks nonfree nontrivial JavaScript while allowing its execution on
pages containing code that is either trivial and/or free.
Many websites run nontrivial JavaScript on your computer. Some use
it for complex tasks; many use it gratuitously for minor jobs that could
be done easily with plain HTML. Sometimes this JavaScript code is
malicious. Either way, the JavaScript code is often nonfree. For
explanation of the issue, see "The JavaScript
Trap"(<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html>).
If you care about freedom in your computing, and don't wish to let
all and sundry make you run nonfree programs, now you can prevent it by
using LibreJS.

2 Disclaimer
************
* LibreJS is not a security tool. Its goal is to detect nonfree
nontrivial JavaScript, and it currently does not detect whether
free or trivial code is malicious or not. Other free Mozilla
extensions and add-ons may be available for this purpose.
* LibreJS is always a work in progress. If you find a bug, please
report it to <bug-librejs@gnu.org>.

3 Installation
**************
You can install LibreJS directly using a generated 'librejs.xpi' file,
or by building it from source.
You can also download it from
<https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/librejs/>, but due to Mozilla's review
process the download isn't always up to date.
File: librejs.info, Node: How to Use, Next: JavaScript Detection, Prev: Installation, Up: Top
4 How to Use
************
4.1 LibreJS in action
=====================
After installing the add-on, you will see the LibreJS widget in the
add-on bar at the top right of the browser window. After loading a
page, left-click on the widget to view the deactivated JavaScript code
from the page (both on page and external) and, if applicable, the
scripts that were accepted.
4.2 Script Blacklist/whitelist
==============================
Scripts may be blacklisted or whitelisted through the pop-up menu box.
Whitelisted scripts will always be accepted and blacklisted scripts
will always get rejected.
It is important to note that this feature recognizes which scripts
are blacklisted and whitelisted based on hash. This means that even a
slight difference in a script's code will cause it to be recognized as a
separate script.
Sometimes, JavaScript will be dynamically generated so that it is
different every time a website is loaded. These types of scripts cannot
be whitelisted or blacklisted since they cannot be recognized.
LibreJS has a default whitelist of scripts that are known to be free
but may not declare their license in a format that LibreJS can
understand.
4.3 Complaint Feature
=====================
It is very important to complain when a site has nonfree JavaScript
code, especially if it won't work without that code. LibreJS makes it
easy to complain by heuristically finding where to send the complaint.
When nonfree/nontrivial code is detected in a page, LibreJS attempts
to find a relevant contact link or email for the website you are
visiting. In order to do so, it will attempt to visit a few links from
the current page (for instance, a link labeled "contact" on the same
domain as the current page, ...)
LibreJS detects contact pages, email addresses that are likely to be
owned by the maintainer of the site, Twitter and identi.ca links, and
phone numbers.
When you complain to the website for their nonfree nontrivial
JavaScript, provide them with the link to the JavaScript Trap essay so
that they can get more information on what the issue is and how they can
solve it on their own site.
LibreJS includes a default subject line and body for the complaint
email, with a link to the JavaScript Trap essay. This can be configured
in the LibreJS add-on preferences in your web browser.
4.4 Options
===========
You can manage LibreJS's preferences either from the extension's
entry in your browser's Add-ons Manager page ('about:addons') or by
clicking the LibreJS toolbar icon and then the "Settings..."
button on the top right of the popup. This will open a panel
containing a whitelist/blacklist manager and a section to configure
your complaints messages to site owners.
"Whitelist/Blacklist"
LibreJS lets you whitelist or blacklist domain names and
subdomains, to bypass the regular JavaScript checks. This might be
useful, for example, if you are running your own code in a local
web server, or if you don't want to waste computing resources on
script origins you already know you can't trust. librejs provides
a lists manager UI to handle both the lists on the top of its
Options panel.
"Complaint email subject"
Configure the default subject used in complaint emails.
"Complaint email body"
Configure the default body used in complaint emails.

5 JavaScript Detection
**********************
LibreJS considers a very strict subset of JavaScript to be acceptable
for use in non-free scripts. This is meant to maximimize compatibility
with websites that haven't tried to be LibreJS compatible.
We consider modification of the document non-trivial. There isn't
much that javascript could do that we would consider trivial, for
anything else a free software license would be required.
The criterion is as follows:
For each function definition:
* It must call only primitives.
* The number of conditionals and loops must be at most 3.
* It does not declare an array more than 50 elements long.
* It must not call itself
For the rest of the script, outside of function definitions:
* It must call only primitives and functions defined above in the
page.
* The number of conditionals and loops must be at most 3.
"function" means anything executable that gets a name, including
methods.
Allowed primitives exclude:
* eval()
* ajax
* calling methods with the square bracket notation
* altering the dom
* most other items found as methods of the '.window' object.

6 Free Licenses Detection
*************************
The machine readable format for license declarations that LibreJS uses
has changed in the most recent version. This was necessary in order to
not break the asynchronous JS loading model that browsers use. Scripts
are now evaluated independent of eachother and strictly as they arrive.
File: librejs.info, Node: Setting Your JavaScript Free, Next: LibreJS Development Notes, Prev: Free Licenses Detection, Up: Top
7 Setting Your JavaScript Free
******************************
The first step is releasing your JavaScript under a free license. If
you are already using a free library, or you're not using any
third-party libraries, it might only take a few minutes.
On your website, take a look at your HTML source. You can identify
distinct pieces of JavaScript that might be free and some other that are
nonfree.
This might be the case with an analytics tracker, social media
widgets, and code that runs ads. Removing these pieces of code from
your site is required to have the rest accepted as free. There are
often alternatives to nonfree libraries or to third-party services:
* If you have used nonfree third-party code as the base to write your
own code, try to find a free alternative.
* If you're using a third-party service such as an analytics service,
replace it with a free alternative like Piwik.
* If you can't find free JavaScript that has already been developed,
write it yourself! Who knows, your own solution might be the start
of a brilliant project!
7.1 License tags
================
LibreJS will allow non-trivial scripts to run as long as they use a free
license.
In order for the license of a script to be recognized by LibreJS, it
must be declared using a machine-readable license format.
This format is the same for both remote in-line scripts.
"// @license [magnet link] [identifier]" [Script here] "//
@license-end"
"Identifier" is a name of a license from the following list and
"magnet link" is that license's exact corresponding magnet link.

7.2 Undetected Free Licenses
============================
If you are using a free license that isn't detected by LibreJS and isn't
listed in the previous section, please send a message to
<bug-librejs@gnu.org> regarding this license, where code released under
this license can be found, and where to find the license text and
information.
Many free licenses are listed in this page:

8 LibreJS Development Notes
***************************
8.1 Dependencies
================
LibreJS 7.17 depends on a number of Node.js-based libraries that can be
installed using the 'npm' utility:
$ npm install acorn-loose
$ npm install jssha
$ npm install browserify
$ export PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/.bin
8.2 Building
============
To build the extension run:
$ browserify main_background.js -o bundle.js
To build the extension plus create a .xpi package run:
$ ./build.sh
To build the extension including the automated test suite (see TEST
below) run:
$ ./build.sh -t
or
$ ./build.sh --test
Note: this 'build.sh' script relies on no new source files being
created.
8.3 Debugging
=============
To debug LibreJS, visit the special URL 'about:debugging'. Click on
'Enable add-on debugging' then 'Load Temporary Add-on'. Navigate to
LibreJS's unpacked source directory and select 'manifest.json'.
Lines 39 and 40 in 'main_background.js' assign two variables
controlling the verbosity of 'dbg_print()' statements. Make sure these
are set to false before building a release.
8.4 Testing
===========
An automated test suite runs automatically in its own tab whenever the
extension is loaded as a "Temporary add-on" from 'about:debugging'.
Otherwise (if included in the xpi) it can be launched from the UI by
clicking the "Automated self test..." button.
8.5 Adding new whitelisted libraries
====================================
The script index.js in './hash_script' generates the default whitelist.
Run it with the following command:
'node index.js > output'
Then, just copy the contents of the file "output" to the appropriate
place in main_background.js.
8.6 Releasing a new version
===========================
Update the version number in manifest.json.
Make sure debug statements are set to false on lines 39/40 in
'main_background.js'.
Then run the build script 'build.sh'.

************************************
A.1 Mozilla Browser
===================
You will need one of the many flavors of the Mozilla browser to use
LibreJS. It can be installed on the following:
GNU IceCat, Mozilla Firefox, Trisquel Abrowser, Debian Iceweasel.
LibreJS works on these browsers starting from version 60. We
recommend that you use the latest version of your Mozilla browser.
LibreJS has been tested on a GNU/Linux distribution, but it is
compatible any operating system as long as you're using a compatible
Mozilla browser.

Appendix B LibreJS Internals
****************************
LibreJS intercepts HTTP responses and rewrites their contents after
analyzing JavaScript within them. It does not remove script nodes and
attributes from the page, but instead "deactivates" them by replacing
their content with a commented notice.
LibreJS detects the most common cases using the HTTP response method
described above, but in less common edge cases, or when running code
locally, LibreJS cannot detect JavaScript during the response stage.

Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
functional and useful 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.
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can
be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept
the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
requiring permission under copyright law.
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. (Thus, 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.
If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may
contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify
any Invariant Sections then there are none.
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
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
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, or absence of markup, has
been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if
used for any substantial amount of text. 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, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
Opaque formats include 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, PostScript or PDF 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 "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
of the Document to the public.
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. VERBATIM COPYING
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.
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
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. MODIFICATIONS
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. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
Modified Version, as the publisher.
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the 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. TRANSLATION
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. TERMINATION
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

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.

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.
