<h3 class="section">C.3 Verbatim Copying License</h3>

<p><a name="index-Verbatim-copying-license-1413"></a><a name="index-License-for-verbatim-copying-1414"></a>
For software manuals and other documentation, it is important to use a
license permitting free redistribution and updating, so that when a free
program is changed, the documentation can be updated as well.

  <p>On the other hand, for documents that express your personal views,
feelings or experiences, it is more appropriate to use a license
permitting only verbatim copying.

  <p>Here is sample text for such a license permitting verbatim copying only. 
This is just the license text itself.  For a complete sample document,
see the previous sections.

<pre class="verbatim">@copying
This document is a sample for allowing verbatim copying only.
