9 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license | ||||
10 | document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||||
11 | | ||||
12 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the | ||||
13 | successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version | ||||
14 | number 2.1.] | ||||
15 | | ||||
16 | Preamble | ||||
17 | | ||||
18 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share | ||||
19 | and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to | ||||
20 | guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the | ||||
21 | software is free for all its users. | ||||
22 | | ||||
23 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially | ||||
24 | designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation | ||||
25 | and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest | ||||
26 | you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General | ||||
27 | Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based | ||||
28 | on the explanations below. | ||||
29 | | ||||
30 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. | ||||
31 | Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom | ||||
32 | to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you | ||||
33 | wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you | ||||
34 | can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that | ||||
35 | you are informed that you can do these things. | ||||
36 | | ||||
37 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors | ||||
38 | to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions | ||||
39 | translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of | ||||
40 | the library or if you modify it. | ||||
41 | | ||||
42 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for | ||||
43 | a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must | ||||
44 | make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link | ||||
45 | other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the | ||||
46 | recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes | ||||
47 | to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they | ||||
48 | know their rights. | ||||
49 | | ||||
50 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, | ||||
51 | and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, | ||||
52 | distribute and/or modify the library. | ||||
53 | | ||||
54 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no | ||||
55 | warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone | ||||
56 | else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not | ||||
57 | the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be | ||||
58 | affected by problems that might be introduced by others. | ||||
59 | | ||||
60 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free | ||||
61 | program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the | ||||
62 | users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. | ||||
63 | Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the | ||||
64 | library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this | ||||
65 | license. | ||||
66 | | ||||
67 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU | ||||
68 | General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, | ||||
69 | applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary | ||||
70 | General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order | ||||
71 | to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. | ||||
72 | | ||||
73 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared | ||||
74 | library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a | ||||
75 | derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore | ||||
76 | permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. | ||||
77 | The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other | ||||
78 | code with the library. | ||||
79 | | ||||
80 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less | ||||
81 | to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It | ||||
82 | also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing | ||||
83 | non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary | ||||
84 | General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides | ||||
85 | advantages in certain special circumstances. | ||||
86 | | ||||
87 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the | ||||
88 | widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. | ||||
89 | To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more | ||||
90 | frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free | ||||
91 | libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library | ||||
92 | to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. | ||||
93 | | ||||
94 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs | ||||
95 | enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For | ||||
96 | example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables | ||||
97 | many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, | ||||
98 | the GNU/Linux operating system. | ||||
99 | | ||||
100 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' | ||||
101 | freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the | ||||
102 | Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified | ||||
103 | version of the Library. | ||||
104 | | ||||
105 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification | ||||
106 | follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the | ||||
107 | library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived | ||||
108 | from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in | ||||
109 | order to run. | ||||
110 | | ||||
111 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||||
112 | | ||||
113 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program | ||||
114 | which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized | ||||
115 | party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General | ||||
116 | Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as | ||||
117 | "you". | ||||
118 | | ||||
119 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared | ||||
120 | so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some | ||||
121 | of those functions and data) to form executables. | ||||
122 | | ||||
123 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has | ||||
124 | been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either | ||||
125 | the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a | ||||
126 | work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications | ||||
127 | and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation | ||||
128 | is included without limitation in the term "modification".) | ||||
129 | | ||||
130 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications | ||||
131 | to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all | ||||
132 | modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus | ||||
133 | the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. | ||||
134 | | ||||
135 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered | ||||
136 | by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program | ||||
137 | using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered | ||||
138 | only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of | ||||
139 | the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends | ||||
140 | on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. | ||||
141 | | ||||
142 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source | ||||
143 | code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | ||||
144 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer | ||||
145 | of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to | ||||
146 | the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with | ||||
147 | the Library. | ||||
148 | | ||||
149 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you | ||||
150 | may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | ||||
151 | | ||||
152 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, | ||||
153 | thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications | ||||
154 | or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all | ||||
155 | of these conditions: | ||||
156 | | ||||
157 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | ||||
158 | | ||||
159 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that | ||||
160 | you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||||
161 | | ||||
162 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all | ||||
163 | third parties under the terms of this License. | ||||
164 | | ||||
165 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of | ||||
166 | data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other | ||||
167 | than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make | ||||
168 | a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply | ||||
169 | such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever | ||||
170 | part of its purpose remains meaningful. | ||||
171 | | ||||
172 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose | ||||
173 | that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection | ||||
174 | 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function | ||||
175 | must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function | ||||
176 | must still compute square roots.) | ||||
177 | | ||||
178 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable | ||||
179 | sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably | ||||
180 | considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, | ||||
181 | and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as | ||||
182 | separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole | ||||
183 | which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be | ||||
184 | on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend | ||||
185 | to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | ||||
186 | it. | ||||
187 | | ||||
188 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your | ||||
189 | rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise | ||||
190 | the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based | ||||
191 | on the Library. | ||||
192 | | ||||
193 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with | ||||
194 | the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage | ||||
195 | or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this | ||||
196 | License. | ||||
197 | | ||||
198 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License | ||||
199 | instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must | ||||
200 | alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the | ||||
201 | ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. | ||||
202 | (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License | ||||
203 | has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not | ||||
204 | make any other change in these notices. | ||||
205 | | ||||
206 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, | ||||
207 | so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies | ||||
208 | and derivative works made from that copy. | ||||
209 | | ||||
210 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library | ||||
211 | into a program that is not a library. | ||||
212 | | ||||
213 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of | ||||
214 | it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | ||||
215 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding | ||||
216 | machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of | ||||
217 | Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. | ||||
218 | | ||||
219 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated | ||||
220 | place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same | ||||
221 | place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though | ||||
222 | third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||||
223 | | ||||
224 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but | ||||
225 | is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, | ||||
226 | is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not | ||||
227 | a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of | ||||
228 | this License. | ||||
229 | | ||||
230 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an | ||||
231 | executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions | ||||
232 | of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable | ||||
233 | is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution | ||||
234 | of such executables. | ||||
235 | | ||||
236 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that | ||||
237 | is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work | ||||
238 | of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is | ||||
239 | especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if | ||||
240 | the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely | ||||
241 | defined by law. | ||||
242 | | ||||
243 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts | ||||
244 | and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less | ||||
245 | in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of | ||||
246 | whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object | ||||
247 | code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) | ||||
248 | | ||||
249 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute | ||||
250 | the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables | ||||
251 | containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked | ||||
252 | directly with the Library itself. | ||||
253 | | ||||
254 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work | ||||
255 | that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions | ||||
256 | of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided | ||||
257 | that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use | ||||
258 | and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. | ||||
259 | | ||||
260 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library | ||||
261 | is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. | ||||
262 | You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays | ||||
263 | copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among | ||||
264 | them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. | ||||
265 | Also, you must do one of these things: | ||||
266 | | ||||
267 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source | ||||
268 | code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which | ||||
269 | must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an | ||||
270 | executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work | ||||
271 | that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user | ||||
272 | can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing | ||||
273 | the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents | ||||
274 | of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile | ||||
275 | the application to use the modified definitions.) | ||||
276 | | ||||
277 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A | ||||
278 | suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library | ||||
279 | already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library | ||||
280 | functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified | ||||
281 | version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified | ||||
282 | version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. | ||||
283 | | ||||
284 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, | ||||
285 | to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for | ||||
286 | a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. | ||||
287 | | ||||
288 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated | ||||
289 | place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from | ||||
290 | the same place. | ||||
291 | | ||||
292 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or | ||||
293 | that you have already sent this user a copy. | ||||
294 | | ||||
295 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must | ||||
296 | include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable | ||||
297 | from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed | ||||
298 | need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or | ||||
299 | binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | ||||
300 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself | ||||
301 | accompanies the executable. | ||||
302 | | ||||
303 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of | ||||
304 | other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. | ||||
305 | Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together | ||||
306 | in an executable that you distribute. | ||||
307 | | ||||
308 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side | ||||
309 | in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by | ||||
310 | this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate | ||||
311 | distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities | ||||
312 | is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | ||||
313 | | ||||
314 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the | ||||
315 | Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed | ||||
316 | under the terms of the Sections above. | ||||
317 | | ||||
318 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of | ||||
319 | it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying | ||||
320 | uncombined form of the same work. | ||||
321 | | ||||
322 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library | ||||
323 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to | ||||
324 | copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and | ||||
325 | will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties | ||||
326 | who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not | ||||
327 | have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | ||||
328 | | ||||
329 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed | ||||
330 | it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the | ||||
331 | Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you | ||||
332 | do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library | ||||
333 | (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License | ||||
334 | to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||||
335 | the Library or works based on it. | ||||
336 | | ||||
337 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), | ||||
338 | the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor | ||||
339 | to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms | ||||
340 | and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' | ||||
341 | exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing | ||||
342 | compliance by third parties with this License. | ||||
343 | | ||||
344 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement | ||||
345 | or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed | ||||
346 | on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the | ||||
347 | conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of | ||||
348 | this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your | ||||
349 | obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as | ||||
350 | a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a | ||||
351 | patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library | ||||
352 | by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the | ||||
353 | only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely | ||||
354 | from distribution of the Library. | ||||
355 | | ||||
356 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any | ||||
357 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, | ||||
358 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | ||||
359 | | ||||
360 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents | ||||
361 | or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; | ||||
362 | this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free | ||||
363 | software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. | ||||
364 | Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software | ||||
365 | distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||||
366 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to | ||||
367 | distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose | ||||
368 | that choice. | ||||
369 | | ||||
370 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a | ||||
371 | consequence of the rest of this License. | ||||
372 | | ||||
373 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain | ||||
374 | countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright | ||||
375 | holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical | ||||
376 | distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is | ||||
377 | permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this | ||||
378 | License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | ||||
379 | | ||||
380 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | ||||
381 | the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | ||||
382 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address | ||||
383 | new problems or concerns. | ||||
384 | | ||||
385 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies | ||||
386 | a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", | ||||
387 | you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version | ||||
388 | or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the | ||||
389 | Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version | ||||

394 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software | ||||
395 | Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions | ||||

421 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | ||||
422 | | ||||
423 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible | ||||
424 | use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can | ||||
425 | redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under | ||||
426 | these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public | ||||
427 | License). | ||||
428 | | ||||
429 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest | ||||
430 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey | ||||
431 | the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" | ||||
432 | line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||||
433 | | ||||
434 | < one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does. > | ||||

446 | details. | ||||

451 | on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||||
452 | | ||||
453 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, | ||||
454 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here | ||||
455 | is a sample; alter the names: | ||||
