25|
26| The following has been added to the RXTX License to remove
27| any confusion about linking to RXTX. We want to allow in part what
28| section 5, paragraph 2 of the LGPL does not permit in the special

37| RXTX solely through the Sun Microsytems CommAPI interface version 2,
38| regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy
39| and distribute the resulting combined work under terms of your choice,
40| provided that every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a complete
41| copy of the source code of RXTX (the version of RXTX used to produce the

62 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
63 Version 2.1, February 1999
64
65 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
66 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
67 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
68 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
69
70[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
71 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
72 the version number 2.1.]
73
74 Preamble
75
76 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
77freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
78Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
79free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
80
81 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
82specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
83Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
84can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
85this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
86strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
87
88 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
89not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
90you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
91for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
92it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
93it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
94these things.
95
96 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
97distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
98rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
99you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
100
101 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
102or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
103you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
104code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
105complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
106with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
107it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
108
109 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
110library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
111permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
112
113 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
114there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
115modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
116that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
117author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
118introduced by others.
119
120 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
121any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
122effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
123restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
124any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
125consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
126
127 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
128ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
129General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
130is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
131this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
132libraries into non-free programs.
133
134 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
135a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
136combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
137General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
138entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
139Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
140the library.
141
142 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
143does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
144Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
145of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
146are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
147libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
148special circumstances.
149
150 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
151encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
152a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
153allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
154library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
155case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
156software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
157
158 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
159programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
160free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
161non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
162operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
163system.
164
165 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
166users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
167linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
168that program using a modified version of the Library.
169
170 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
171modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
172"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
173former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
174be combined with the library in order to run.
175
176 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
177 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
178
179 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
180program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
181other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
182this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
183Each licensee is addressed as "you".
184
185 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
186prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
187(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
188
189 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
190which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
191Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
192copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
193portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
194straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
195included without limitation in the term "modification".)
196
197 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
198making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
199all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
200interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
201and installation of the library.
202
203 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
204covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
205running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
206such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
207on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
208writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
209and what the program that uses the Library does.
210
211 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
212complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
213you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
214appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
215all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
216warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
217Library.
218
219 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
220and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
221fee.
222
223 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
224of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
225distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
226above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
227
228 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
229
230 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
231 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
232
233 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
234 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
235
236 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
237 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
238 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
239 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
240 in the event an application does not supply such function or
241 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
242 its purpose remains meaningful.
243
244 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
245 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
246 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
247 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
248 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
249 root function must still compute square roots.)
250
251These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
252identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
253and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
254themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
255sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
256distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
257on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
258this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
259entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
260it.
261
262Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
263your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
264exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
265collective works based on the Library.
266
267In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
268with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
269a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
270the scope of this License.
271
272 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
273License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
274this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
275that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
276instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
277ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
278that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
279these notices.
280
281 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
282that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
283subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
284
285 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
286the Library into a program that is not a library.
287
288 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
289derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
290under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
291it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
292must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
293medium customarily used for software interchange.
294
295 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
296from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
297source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
298distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
299compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
300
301 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
302Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
303linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
304work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
305therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
306
307 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
308creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
309contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
310library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
311Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
312
313 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
314that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
315derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
316Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
317linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
318threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
319
320 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
321structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
322functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
323file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
324work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
325Library will still fall under Section 6.)
326
327 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
328distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
329Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
330whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
331
332 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
333link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
334work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
335under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
336modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
337engineering for debugging such modifications.
338
339 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
340Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
341this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
342during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
343copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
344directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
345of these things:
346
347 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
348 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
349 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
350 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
351 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
352 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
353 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
354 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
355 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
356 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
357 to use the modified definitions.)
358
359 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
360 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
361 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
362 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
363 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
364 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
365 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
366
367 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
368 least three years, to give the same user the materials
369 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
370 than the cost of performing this distribution.
371
372 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
373 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
374 specified materials from the same place.
375
376 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
377 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
378
379 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
380Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
381reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
382the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
383normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
384components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
385which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
386the executable.
387
388 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
389restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
390accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
391use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
392distribute.
393
394 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
395Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
396facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
397library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
398the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
399permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
400
401 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
402 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
403 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
404 Sections above.
405
406 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
407 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
408 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
409
410 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
411the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
412attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
413distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
414rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
415or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
416terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
417
418 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
419signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
420distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
421prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
422modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
423Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
424all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
425the Library or works based on it.
426
427 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
428Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
429original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
430subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
431restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
432You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
433this License.
434
435 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
436infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
437conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
438otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
439excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
440distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
441License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
442may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
443license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
444all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
445the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
446refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
447
448If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
449particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
450and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
451
452It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
453patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
454such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
455integrity of the free software distribution system which is
456implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
457generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
458through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
459system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
460to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
461impose that choice.
462
463This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
464be a consequence of the rest of this License.
465
466 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
467certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
468original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
469an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
470so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
471excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
472written in the body of this License.
473
474 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
475versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
476Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
477but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
478
479Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
480specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
481"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
482conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
483the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a

485the Free Software Foundation.

487 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
488programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
489write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
490copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
491Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
492decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
493of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
494and reuse of software generally.
495

521 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
522
523 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
524possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
525everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
526redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
527ordinary General Public License).
528
529 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
530safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
531convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
532"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
533
534 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
535 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
536
537 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
538 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
539 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
540 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
541
542 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
543 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
544 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
545 Lesser General Public License for more details.
546
547 You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
548 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
549 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
550
551Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
552
553You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
554school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
555necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
556
557 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
558 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
