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, 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

Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute trans 

lations 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 in 

clude a translation of this License provided that you also include the original

English version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the trans 

lation and the original English version of this License, the original English

version will prevail.
