III

El día 17 de Mayo de ese mismo año de 1809 dió Napoleón un decreto, por el que^[49-1] reunió al Imperio francés los Estados pontificios, declarando a Roma^[49-2] ciudad imperial libre.

El pueblo romano no se atrevió a protestar contra esta medida; pero el Papa la resistió pasivamente desde su palacio del Quirinal,^[49-3] donde aun contaba con⁽¹⁴⁹⁾ algunas autoridades y su guardia de suizos.

Sucedió entonces que unos pescadores del Tiber cogieron un esturión y quisieron regalárselo al Sucesor de San Pedro. Los franceses aprovecharon esta ocasión para dar el último paso contra la autoridad de Pío VII; gritaron: ¡al arma!; el cañón de Sant-Angelo^[49-4] pregonó la extinción del gobierno temporal de los Papas, y la bandera tricolor^[49-5] ondeó sobre el Vaticano.

El Secretario de Estado, cardenal Pacca (que sin duda era el sacerdote que V. encontró con Pío VII), corrió al lado de Su Santidad; y, al verse los dos ancianos, exclamaron: Consummatum est!^[49-6]

En efecto: mientras el Papa lanzaba su última excomunión contra los invasores, éstos penetraban en el Quirinal, derribando las puertas a hachazos.^[49-7]

En la Sala de las Santificaciones^[49-8] encontraron a cuarenta suizos, resto del poder del ex Rey de Roma,^[49-9] quienes los dejaron pasar adelante por haber recibido orden de no oponer resistencia alguna.

El general Radet, jefe de los demoledores, encontró al Papa en la Sala de las Audiencias ordinarias, rodeado de los cardenales Pacca y Despuig y de algunos empleados de Secretaría. Pío VII vestía roquete y muceta;^[50-1] había dejado su lecho para recibir al enemigo, y daba muestras de una tranquilidad asombrosa.

Era media noche. Radet, profundamente conmovido, no se atreve a hablar. Al fin intima al Sumo Pontífice que renuncie al gobierno temporal de los Estados romanos.^[50-2] El Papa contesta que no le es posible hacerlo, porque no son suyos, sino de la Iglesia, cuyo administrador lo hizo la voluntad del Cielo.... Y el general Radet le replica mostrándole la orden de llevarlo prisionero a Francia.

Al amanecer del siguiente día salía Pío VII de su palacio entre esbirros y gendarmes, saltando sobre los escombros de las puertas, sin más comitiva que el cardenal Pacca, ni más restos de su grandeza mundanal que un papetto, moneda equivalente a cuatro reales de vellón,^[50-3] que llevaba en el bolsillo.

En las afueras de la puerta del Popolo^[50-4] lo esperaba una silla de posta, a la cual le hicieron subir, y después de esto cerraron las portezuelas con una llave, que Radet entregó a un gendarme de caballería.

Las persianas del lado derecho, en que se sentó el Papa, estaban clavadas, a fin de que no pudiese ser visto....

IV

—¡En esa silla lo encontré yo!...—¿Ven ustedes cómo no miento?

—Hace V. bien en interrumpirme, Capitán; porque yo he terminado, y el resto queremos oírlo de labios de V....

—Pues voy allá,^[50-5] señores míos.

Íbamos diciendo⁽¹⁵⁰⁾ que Pío VII y el cardenal Pacca (¡mucho me alegro de haber llegado a saber su nombre!) estaban sentados en el portal de la casa de postas; que el pueblo se había agrupado en la calle; que los gendarmes le impedían el paso, y que nosotros los españoles conseguimos acercarnos tanto a la puerta, que veíamos perfectamente a los dos augustos sacerdotes.

Pío VII fijó casualmente la vista en nosotros, y sin duda conoció, por nuestros raros y destrozados uniformes, que también éramos extranjeros y cautivos de Napoleón.... Ello fué^[51-1] que, después de decir algunas palabras al Cardenal, clavó en nosotros una larga y expresiva mirada.

En esto sonó allí cerca un fandango, divinamente tocado y cantado por los tres compañeros nuestros, que volvían ya con las boletas para alojarnos....

Creo haberos dicho que habíamos comprado dos guitarras antes de abandonar a Cataluña;^[51-2] y si se me ha olvidado^[51-3] decíroslo, os lo digo ahora.

Al oír aquel toque y la copla que le siguió, el Papa levantó otra vez la cabeza, y nos miró con mayor interés y ternura.

El italiano, el músico, había reconocido el canto.

¡Ya sabía que éramos españoles!

Ser español, significaba en aquel tiempo mucho más que ahora. Significaba ser vencedor del Capitán del siglo; ser soldado de Bailén y Zaragoza;^[51-4] ser defensor de la historia, de la tradición, de la fe antigua; mantenedor de la independencia de las naciones; paladín^[51-5] de Cristo; cruzado^[51-6] de la libertad. —En esto último nos engañábamos.... Pero ¡cómo ha de ser!—¿Quién había de adivinar entonces, al defender a D. Fernando VII^[51-7] contra los franceses, que él mismo los llamaría al cabo de catorce años y los traería a España en contra nuestra,^[51-8] como sucedió en 1823?...—En fin; no quiero hablar..., ¡pues hay cosas que todavía me encienden la sangre!

El caso fué, volviendo a mi relato, que el rostro del Papa se cubrió de santo rubor al considerar nuestra desventura y recordar el heroísmo de que España estaba dando muestras al mundo..., y que el más puro entusiasmo chispeó en sus amantísimos ojos....—¡Parecía que aquellos ojos nos besaban! Nosotros, por nuestra parte, comprendiendo toda la predilección que nos demostraba en aquel momento el Sumo Pontífice, procurábamos expresarle con la mirada, con el gesto, con la actitud, nuestra veneración y piedad, así como el dolor y la indignación que sentíamos al verlo preso y ultrajado por sus malos hijos....—Casi instintivamente nos quitamos los morriones (cosa que chocó mucho a los franceses, los cuales seguían con sus gorros^[52-1] encasquetados), y nos llevamos la mano derecha al corazón como quien hace^[52-2] protestación de su fe.

El Papa levantó los ojos al cielo y se puso a rezar.—¡Sabía que una bendición de su mano podía atraer sobre nosotros la cólera del pueblo impío que nos rodeaba, como nosotros sabíamos que un grito de ¡viva el Papa! podía empeorar la situación del beatísimo prisionero!—¡Mostrábanse tan orgullosos los franceses que nos rodeaban al ver aquel supremo triunfo de la Revolución sobre la autoridad!... ¡Creían tan grande a la Francia en aquel momento!

En esto se abrió paso por entre la muchedumbre, y apareció en el cuadro que habían despejado los gendarmes, una mujer del pueblo, mucho más anciana que el Pontífice: una viejecita centenaria, pulcra y pobremente^[52-3] vestida,⁽¹⁵¹⁾ coronada de cabellos como la nieve, trémula por la edad y el entusiasmo, encorvada, llorosa, suplicante, llevando en las manos un azafate de mimbres secos lleno de melocotones, cuyos matices rojos y dorados se veían debajo de las verdes hojas con que estaban cubiertos....

Los gendarmes quisieron detenerla.... Pero ella los miró con tanta mansedumbre; era tan inofensiva su actitud; era su presente tan tierno y cariñoso; inspiraba su edad tanto respeto; había tal verdad en aquel acto de devoción; significaba tanto, en fin, aquel siglo pasado, fiel a sus creencias, que venía a saludar al Vicario de Jesucristo en medio de su calle de Amargura,^[52-4] que los soldados de la Revolución y del Imperio comprendieron o sintieron que aquel anacronismo, aquella caridad de otra época, aquel corazón inerme y pacífico que había sobrevivido casualmente a la guillotina, en nada aminoraba ni deslucía los triunfos del conquistador de Europa, y dejaron a la pobre mujer del pueblo entrar en aquel afortunado portal, que ya nos había traído a la memoria otro portal, no menos afortunado, donde unos sencillos pastores hicieron también ofrendas al Hijo de Dios vivo....

Comenzó entonces una interesante escena entre la cristiana y el Pontífice.

Púsose ella de rodillas, y, sin articular palabra, presentó el azafate de frutos al augusto prisionero.

Pío VII enjugó con sus manos beatísimas las lágrimas que inundaban el rostro de la viejecita; y cuando ésta se inclinaba para besar el pie del Santo Padre,^[53-1] él colocó una mano sobre aquellas canas humilladas, y levantó la otra al cielo con la inspirada actitud de un profeta.

—¡VIVA EL PAPA!—exclamamos entonces nosotros en nuestro idioma español, sin poder contenernos....

Y penetramos en el portal resueltos a todo.

Pío VII se pone de pie al oír aquel grito, y, tendiendo hacia nosotros las manos, nos detiene, cual si⁽¹⁵²⁾ su majestuosa actitud nos hubiese aniquilado.... Caemos, pues, de rodillas, y el Padre Santo nos bendice una, otra y tercera vez.

Al propio tiempo álzase en la puerta y en toda la Plaza como un huracán de gritos, y nosotros volvemos la cabeza horrorizados, creyendo que los franceses amenazan al Sumo Pontífice....—¡Lo de menos^[53-2] era que nos amenazasen a nosotros!—¡Decididos estábamos a morir!

Pero ¡cuál fué nuestro asombro al ver que los gendarmes, los hombres del pueblo, las mujeres, los niños..., ¡todo Montelimart! estaba arrodillado, con la frente descubierta, con las lágrimas en los ojos, exclamando:

—Vive le Pape!^[53-3]

Entonces se rompió la consigna: el pueblo invadió el portal y pidió su bendición al Pontífice. Éste cogió una hoja verde de las que cubrían el azafate de melocotones que seguía ofreciéndole la anciana, y la llevó a sus labios y la besó.

La multitud, por su parte, se apoderó de los frutos como de reliquias; todos abrazaron a la pobre mujer del pueblo; el Papa, trémulo de emoción, atravesó por entre la muchedumbre, nos bendijo otra vez al paso, y penetró en la silla de posta; y los gendarmes, avergonzados de lo que acababa de pasar, dieron la orden^[54-1] de partir.

En cuanto a nosotros, durante todo aquel día no fuimos en Francia prisioneros de guerra, sino huéspedes de paz.

Conque... he dicho.

V

—¡Aun queda algo que⁽¹⁵³⁾ decir!...—(exclamó el mismo que contó poco antes lo acontecido en Roma.) ¡Óiganme Vds. a mí un momento!

En 1814, cinco años después de la escena referida por el Capitán, la fuerza de la opinión de toda Francia obligó a Napoleón Bonaparte a poner en libertad a Pío VII.

Volvió, pues, el Sumo Pontífice a recorrer el mismo camino en que le habían encontrado los prisioneros españoles, y he aquí cómo describe Chateaubriand^[54-2] la despedida que hizo Francia al sucesor de San Pedro:

«Pío VII caminaba en medio de los cánticos y de las lágrimas, del repique de las campanas y de los gritos de ¡Viva el Papa! ¡Viva el Jefe de la Iglesia!... En las ciudades sólo quedaban los que no podían marchar, y los peregrinos pasaban la noche en los campos, en espera de la llegada del anciano sacerdote. TAL ES, SOBRE LA FUERZA DEL HACHA^[54-3] Y DEL CETRO, LA SUPERIORIDAD DEL PODER DEL DÉBIL SOSTENIDO POR LA RELIGIÓN Y LA DESGRACIA.»

Guadix, 1857.

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
6. 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.
7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified version.
14. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
15. 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 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.

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.
