Initial commit of license reporting:
This is an intial commit for the license reporting system. A few notes:
The LICENSE fields needs to be standardized throughout poky. As it
stands, we throw a warning if the license file is not found (either
because it does not exist or because LICENSE_FILE_CHKSUM is munged)
in the generic license directory. This should eventually become an
error.
I've seen a few places where Apache-v2.0 is written differently and
I'm sure this will throw the above warning. This does not put the
license data on the rootfs. Also, I provide both the actual license
text and a link to the best guess of the generic_license. That guessing
is not very robust and I'm loath to get into a bunch of pattern matching
rather than standardize LICENSE.
This adds one new param to poky.conf and one new to license.bbclass:
LICENSE_DIR: the base directory we copy all the license results to (set
in license.bbclass)
COMMON_LICENSE_DIR: this is the directory that holds all the common
generic license files. currently meta/files/common-licenses (set in
poky.conf)
TODO:
- We should verify the common-licenses. I stripped these from my Ubuntu
10.10 system.
- We should allow the capability of licenses on the rootfs, although the
resulting image created would be a lot larger.
- More common-licenses. I don't include bzip, zlib, ICS.... I should,
but that means tracking down a lot of licenses.
- General cleanup of licensing and standardization of names. We should
standardize on a naming convention. What's in licenses.conf should
match up with what is in the recipes which should match with what is
in common-licenses. Outside the scope of this though. See:

119 | notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside | ||
120 | or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided | ||
121 | that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed | ||
122 | as modifying the License. | ||

128 | reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with | ||
129 | the conditions stated in this License. | ||
130 | |||

133 | by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of | ||
134 | this License, without any additional terms or conditions. | ||

142 | origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file. | ||
143 | |||
144 | 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or | ||
145 | agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each | ||
146 | Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS, | ||
147 | WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or | ||

151 | appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any | ||
152 | risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License. | ||

154 | 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory, | ||
155 | whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, | ||
156 | unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly | ||
157 | negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be | ||
158 | liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, | ||
159 | incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a | ||
160 | result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the | ||
161 | Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, | ||
162 | work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all | ||
163 | other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor | ||
164 | has been advised of the possibility of such damages. | ||
165 | |||
166 | 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing | ||
167 | the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, | ||
168 | and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, | ||
169 | or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this | ||
170 | License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only | ||
171 | on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf | ||
172 | of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, | ||
173 | defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability | ||
174 | incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason | ||
175 | of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability. | ||

8 | |||
9 | The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a | ||
10 | Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some | ||
11 | semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, | ||
12 | while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute | ||
13 | the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make | ||
14 | reasonable modifications. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Definitions: | ||
17 | |||
18 | "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the | ||
19 | Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files | ||
20 | created through textual modification. | ||
21 | |||
22 | "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been | ||
23 | modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes | ||
24 | of the Copyright Holder as specified below. | ||
25 | |||
26 | "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or | ||
27 | copyrights for the package. | ||
28 | |||
29 | "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing | ||

32 | "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the | ||
33 | basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, | ||
34 | and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the | ||
35 | Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large | ||
36 | as a market that must bear the fee.) | ||
37 | |||
38 | "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item | ||
39 | itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. | ||
40 | It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it | ||
41 | under the same conditions they received it. | ||
42 | |||
43 | 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the | ||
44 | Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you | ||
45 | duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. | ||
46 | |||
47 | 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications | ||
48 | derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package | ||
49 | modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version. | ||
50 | |||
51 | 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided | ||
52 | that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and | ||
53 | when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the | ||
54 | following: | ||
55 | |||
56 | a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them | ||
57 | Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or | ||
58 | an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive | ||
59 | site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include | ||
60 | your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package. | ||
61 | |||
62 | b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. | ||
63 | |||
64 | c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict | ||
65 | with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide | ||
66 | a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly | ||
67 | documents how it differs from the Standard Version. | ||
68 | |||
69 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | ||
70 | |||
71 | 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or | ||
72 | executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: | ||
73 | |||
74 | a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, | ||
75 | together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where | ||
76 | to get the Standard Version. | ||
77 | |||
78 | b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of | ||
79 | the Package with your modifications. | ||
80 | |||
81 | c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly | ||
82 | document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together | ||
83 | with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. | ||
84 | |||
85 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | ||
86 | |||
87 | 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this | ||
88 | Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this | ||
89 | Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, | ||
90 | you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly | ||
91 | commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software | ||
92 | distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a | ||
93 | product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within | ||
94 | an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere | ||
95 | form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the | ||
96 | interpreter is so embedded. | ||
97 | |||
98 | 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as | ||
99 | output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall | ||
100 | under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated | ||
101 | them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this | ||
102 | Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this | ||
103 | Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a | ||
104 | binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall | ||
105 | neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it | ||
106 | fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do | ||
107 | not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this | ||
108 | Package. | ||
109 | |||
110 | 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other | ||
111 | languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to | ||
112 | emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this | ||
113 | Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the | ||
114 | equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do | ||
115 | not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the | ||
116 | regression tests for the language. | ||
117 | |||
118 | 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always | ||
119 | permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, | ||
120 | when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible | ||
121 | to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be | ||
122 | construed as a distribution of this Package. | ||
123 | |||
124 | 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote | ||
125 | products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. | ||

8 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
9 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
10 | |||
11 | 0. PREAMBLE | ||
12 | |||
13 | The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other | ||
14 | functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to | ||
15 | assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, | ||
16 | with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. | ||
17 | Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way | ||
18 | to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible | ||
19 | for modifications made by others. | ||
20 | |||
21 | This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative | ||
22 | works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It | ||
23 | complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft | ||
24 | license designed for free software. | ||
25 | |||
26 | We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free | ||
27 | software, because free software needs free documentation: a free | ||
28 | program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the | ||
29 | software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; | ||
30 | it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or | ||
31 | whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License | ||
32 | principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. | ||
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS | ||
36 | |||
37 | This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that | ||
38 | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be | ||
39 | distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a | ||
40 | world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that | ||
41 | work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, | ||
42 | refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a | ||
43 | licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you | ||
44 | copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission | ||
45 | under copyright law. | ||
46 | |||
47 | A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the | ||
48 | Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with | ||
49 | modifications and/or translated into another language. | ||
50 | |||
51 | A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of | ||
52 | the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the | ||
53 | publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall | ||
54 | subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall | ||
55 | directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in | ||
56 | part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain | ||
57 | any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical | ||
58 | connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, | ||
59 | commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding | ||
60 | them. | ||
61 | |||
62 | The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles | ||
63 | are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice | ||
64 | that says that the Document is released under this License. If a | ||
65 | section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not | ||
66 | allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero | ||
67 | Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant | ||
68 | Sections then there are none. | ||
69 | |||
70 | The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, | ||
71 | as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that | ||
72 | the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may | ||
73 | be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. | ||
74 | |||
75 | A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, | ||
76 | represented in a format whose specification is available to the | ||
77 | general public, that is suitable for revising the document | ||
78 | straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of | ||
79 | pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available | ||
80 | drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or | ||
81 | for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input | ||
82 | to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file | ||
83 | format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart | ||
84 | or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. | ||
85 | An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount | ||
86 | of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". | ||
87 | |||
88 | Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain | ||
89 | ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML | ||
90 | or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple | ||
91 | HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of | ||
92 | transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats | ||
93 | include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by | ||
94 | proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or | ||
95 | processing tools are not generally available, and the | ||
96 | machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word | ||
97 | processors for output purposes only. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, | ||
100 | plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material | ||
101 | this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in | ||
102 | formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means | ||
103 | the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, | ||
104 | preceding the beginning of the body of the text. | ||
105 | |||
106 | The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of | ||
107 | the Document to the public. | ||
108 | |||
109 | A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose | ||
110 | title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following | ||
111 | text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a | ||
112 | specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", | ||
113 | "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" | ||
114 | of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a | ||
115 | section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. | ||
116 | |||
117 | The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which | ||
118 | states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty | ||
119 | Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this | ||
120 | License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other | ||
121 | implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has | ||
122 | no effect on the meaning of this License. | ||
123 | |||
124 | 2. VERBATIM COPYING | ||
125 | |||
126 | You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either | ||
127 | commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the | ||
128 | copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies | ||
129 | to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no | ||
130 | other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use | ||
131 | technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further | ||
132 | copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept | ||
133 | compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough | ||
134 | number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. | ||
135 | |||
136 | You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and | ||
137 | you may publicly display copies. | ||
138 | |||
139 | |||
140 | 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY | ||
141 | |||
142 | If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have | ||
143 | printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the | ||
144 | Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the | ||
145 | copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover | ||
146 | Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on | ||
147 | the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify | ||
148 | you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present | ||
149 | the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and | ||
150 | visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. | ||
151 | Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve | ||
152 | the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated | ||
153 | as verbatim copying in other respects. | ||
154 | |||
155 | If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit | ||
156 | legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit | ||
157 | reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent | ||
158 | pages. | ||
159 | |||
160 | If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering | ||
161 | more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent | ||
162 | copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy | ||
163 | a computer-network location from which the general network-using | ||
164 | public has access to download using public-standard network protocols | ||
165 | a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. | ||
166 | If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, | ||
167 | when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure | ||
168 | that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated | ||
169 | location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an | ||
170 | Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that | ||
171 | edition to the public. | ||
172 | |||
173 | It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the | ||
174 | Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to | ||
175 | give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the | ||
176 | Document. | ||
177 | |||
178 | |||
179 | 4. MODIFICATIONS | ||
180 | |||
181 | You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under | ||
182 | the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release | ||
183 | the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified | ||
184 | Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution | ||
185 | and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy | ||
186 | of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: | ||
187 | |||
188 | A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct | ||
189 | from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions | ||
190 | (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section | ||
191 | of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version | ||
192 | if the original publisher of that version gives permission. | ||
193 | B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities | ||
194 | responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified | ||
195 | Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the | ||
196 | Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), | ||
197 | unless they release you from this requirement. | ||
198 | C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the | ||
199 | Modified Version, as the publisher. | ||
200 | D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. | ||
201 | E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications | ||
202 | adjacent to the other copyright notices. | ||
203 | F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice | ||
204 | giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the | ||
205 | terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. | ||
206 | G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections | ||
207 | and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. | ||
208 | H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. | ||
209 | I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add | ||
210 | to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and | ||
211 | publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If | ||
212 | there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one | ||
213 | stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as | ||
214 | given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified | ||
215 | Version as stated in the previous sentence. | ||
216 | J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for | ||
217 | public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise | ||
218 | the network locations given in the Document for previous versions | ||
219 | it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. | ||
220 | You may omit a network location for a work that was published at | ||
221 | least four years before the Document itself, or if the original | ||
222 | publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. | ||
223 | K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", | ||
224 | Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all | ||
225 | the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements | ||
226 | and/or dedications given therein. | ||
227 | L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, | ||
228 | unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers | ||
229 | or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. | ||
230 | M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section | ||
231 | may not be included in the Modified Version. | ||
232 | N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" | ||
233 | or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. | ||
234 | O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. | ||
235 | |||
236 | If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or | ||
237 | appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material | ||
238 | copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all | ||
239 | of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the | ||
240 | list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. | ||
241 | These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. | ||
242 | |||
243 | You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains | ||
244 | nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various | ||
245 | parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has | ||
246 | been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a | ||
247 | standard. | ||
248 | |||
249 | You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a | ||
250 | passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list | ||
251 | of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of | ||
252 | Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or | ||
253 | through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already | ||
254 | includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or | ||
255 | by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, | ||
256 | you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit | ||
257 | permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. | ||
258 | |||
259 | The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License | ||
260 | give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or | ||
261 | imply endorsement of any Modified Version. | ||
262 | |||
263 | |||
264 | 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS | ||
265 | |||
266 | You may combine the Document with other documents released under this | ||
267 | License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified | ||
268 | versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the | ||
269 | Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and | ||
270 | list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its | ||
271 | license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. | ||
272 | |||
273 | The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and | ||
274 | multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single | ||
275 | copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but | ||
276 | different contents, make the title of each such section unique by | ||
277 | adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original | ||
278 | author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. | ||
279 | Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of | ||
280 | Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. | ||
281 | |||
282 | In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" | ||
283 | in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled | ||
284 | "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", | ||
285 | and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections | ||
286 | Entitled "Endorsements". | ||
287 | |||
288 | |||
289 | 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS | ||
290 | |||
291 | You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other | ||
292 | documents released under this License, and replace the individual | ||
293 | copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy | ||
294 | that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules | ||
295 | of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all | ||
296 | other respects. | ||
297 | |||
298 | You may extract a single document from such a collection, and | ||
299 | distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a | ||
300 | copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this | ||
301 | License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that | ||
302 | document. | ||
303 | |||
304 | |||
305 | 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS | ||
306 | |||
307 | A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate | ||
308 | and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or | ||
309 | distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright | ||
310 | resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights | ||
311 | of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. | ||
312 | When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not | ||
313 | apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves | ||
314 | derivative works of the Document. | ||
315 | |||
316 | If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these | ||
317 | copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of | ||
318 | the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on | ||
319 | covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the | ||
320 | electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. | ||
321 | Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole | ||
322 | aggregate. | ||
323 | |||
324 | |||
325 | 8. TRANSLATION | ||
326 | |||
327 | Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may | ||
328 | distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. | ||
329 | Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special | ||
330 | permission from their copyright holders, but you may include | ||
331 | translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the | ||
332 | original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a | ||
333 | translation of this License, and all the license notices in the | ||
334 | Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include | ||
335 | the original English version of this License and the original versions | ||
336 | of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between | ||
337 | the translation and the original version of this License or a notice | ||
338 | or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. | ||
339 | |||
340 | If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", | ||
341 | "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve | ||
342 | its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual | ||
343 | title. | ||
344 | |||
345 | |||
346 | 9. TERMINATION | ||
347 | |||
348 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document | ||
349 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | ||
350 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and | ||
351 | will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | ||
352 | |||
353 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | ||
354 | from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | ||
355 | unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally | ||
356 | terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder | ||
357 | fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to | ||
358 | 60 days after the cessation. | ||
359 | |||
360 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | ||
361 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | ||
362 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | ||
363 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | ||
364 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | ||
365 | your receipt of the notice. | ||
366 | |||
367 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | ||
368 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | ||
369 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | ||
370 | reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does | ||
371 | not give you any rights to use it. | ||
372 | |||
373 | |||
374 | 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE | ||
375 | |||
376 | The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the | ||
377 | GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions | ||
378 | will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in | ||
379 | detail to address new problems or concerns. See | ||
380 | http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. | ||
381 | |||
382 | Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. | ||
383 | If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this | ||
384 | License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of | ||
385 | following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or | ||
386 | of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the | ||
387 | Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version | ||
388 | number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not | ||
389 | as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document | ||
390 | specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this | ||
391 | License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a | ||
392 | version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the | ||
393 | Document. | ||
394 | |||
395 | 11. RELICENSING | ||
396 | |||
397 | "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any | ||
398 | World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also | ||
399 | provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A | ||
400 | public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A | ||
401 | "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site | ||
402 | means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site. | ||
403 | |||
404 | "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 | ||
405 | license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit | ||
406 | corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, | ||
407 | California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license | ||
408 | published by that same organization. | ||
409 | |||
410 | "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in | ||
411 | part, as part of another Document. | ||
412 | |||
413 | An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this | ||
414 | License, and if all works that were first published under this License | ||
415 | somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or | ||
416 | in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and | ||
417 | (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. | ||
418 | |||
419 | The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site | ||
420 | under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, | ||
421 | provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. | ||
422 | |||
423 | |||
424 | ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents | ||
425 | |||
426 | To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of | ||
427 | the License in the document and put the following copyright and | ||
428 | license notices just after the title page: | ||
429 | |||
430 | Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. | ||
431 | Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document | ||
432 | under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 | ||
433 | or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; | ||
434 | with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. | ||
435 | A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU | ||
436 | Free Documentation License". | ||
437 | |||
438 | If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, | ||
439 | replace the "with...Texts." line with this: | ||
440 | |||
441 | with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the | ||
442 | Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. | ||
443 | |||
444 | If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other | ||
445 | combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the | ||
446 | situation. | ||
447 | |||
448 | If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we | ||
449 | recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of | ||
450 | free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, | ||
451 | to permit their use in free software. | ||

10 | |||
11 | 0. PREAMBLE | ||
12 | |||
13 | The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other | ||
14 | functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to | ||
15 | assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, | ||
16 | with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. | ||
17 | Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way | ||
18 | to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible | ||
19 | for modifications made by others. | ||
20 | |||
21 | This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative | ||
22 | works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It | ||
23 | complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft | ||
24 | license designed for free software. | ||
25 | |||
26 | We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free | ||
27 | software, because free software needs free documentation: a free | ||
28 | program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the | ||
29 | software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; | ||
30 | it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or | ||
31 | whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License | ||
32 | principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. | ||
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS | ||
36 | |||
37 | This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that | ||
38 | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be | ||
39 | distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a | ||
40 | world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that | ||
41 | work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, | ||
42 | refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a | ||
43 | licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you | ||
44 | copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission | ||
45 | under copyright law. | ||
46 | |||
47 | A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the | ||
48 | Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with | ||
49 | modifications and/or translated into another language. | ||
50 | |||
51 | A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of | ||
52 | the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the | ||
53 | publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject | ||
54 | (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly | ||
55 | within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a | ||
56 | textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any | ||
57 | mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical | ||
58 | connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, | ||
59 | commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding | ||
60 | them. | ||
61 | |||
62 | The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles | ||
63 | are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice | ||
64 | that says that the Document is released under this License. If a | ||
65 | section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not | ||
66 | allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero | ||
67 | Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant | ||
68 | Sections then there are none. | ||
69 | |||
70 | The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, | ||
71 | as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that | ||
72 | the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may | ||
73 | be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. | ||
74 | |||
75 | A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, | ||
76 | represented in a format whose specification is available to the | ||
77 | general public, that is suitable for revising the document | ||
78 | straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of | ||
79 | pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available | ||
80 | drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or | ||
81 | for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input | ||
82 | to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file | ||
83 | format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart | ||
84 | or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. | ||
85 | An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount | ||
86 | of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". | ||
87 | |||
88 | Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain | ||
89 | ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML | ||
90 | or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple | ||
91 | HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of | ||
92 | transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats | ||
93 | include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by | ||
94 | proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or | ||
95 | processing tools are not generally available, and the | ||
96 | machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word | ||
97 | processors for output purposes only. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, | ||
100 | plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material | ||
101 | this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in | ||
102 | formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means | ||
103 | the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, | ||
104 | preceding the beginning of the body of the text. | ||
105 | |||
106 | A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose | ||
107 | title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following | ||
108 | text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a | ||
109 | specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", | ||
110 | "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" | ||
111 | of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a | ||
112 | section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. | ||
113 | |||
114 | The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which | ||
115 | states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty | ||
116 | Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this | ||
117 | License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other | ||
118 | implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has | ||
119 | no effect on the meaning of this License. | ||
120 | |||
121 | |||
122 | 2. VERBATIM COPYING | ||
123 | |||
124 | You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either | ||
125 | commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the | ||
126 | copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies | ||
127 | to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other | ||
128 | conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use | ||
129 | technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further | ||
130 | copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept | ||
131 | compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough | ||
132 | number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. | ||
133 | |||
134 | You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and | ||
135 | you may publicly display copies. | ||
136 | |||
137 | |||
138 | 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY | ||
139 | |||
140 | If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have | ||
141 | printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the | ||
142 | Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the | ||
143 | copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover | ||
144 | Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on | ||
145 | the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify | ||
146 | you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present | ||
147 | the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and | ||
148 | visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. | ||
149 | Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve | ||
150 | the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated | ||
151 | as verbatim copying in other respects. | ||
152 | |||
153 | If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit | ||
154 | legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit | ||
155 | reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent | ||
156 | pages. | ||
157 | |||
158 | If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering | ||
159 | more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent | ||
160 | copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy | ||
161 | a computer-network location from which the general network-using | ||
162 | public has access to download using public-standard network protocols | ||
163 | a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. | ||
164 | If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, | ||
165 | when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure | ||
166 | that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated | ||
167 | location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an | ||
168 | Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that | ||
169 | edition to the public. | ||
170 | |||
171 | It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the | ||
172 | Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give | ||
173 | them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. | ||
174 | |||
175 | |||
176 | 4. MODIFICATIONS | ||
177 | |||
178 | You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under | ||
179 | the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release | ||
180 | the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified | ||
181 | Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution | ||
182 | and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy | ||
183 | of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: | ||
184 | |||
185 | A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct | ||
186 | from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions | ||
187 | (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section | ||
188 | of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version | ||
189 | if the original publisher of that version gives permission. | ||
190 | B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities | ||
191 | responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified | ||
192 | Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the | ||
193 | Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), | ||
194 | unless they release you from this requirement. | ||
195 | C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the | ||
196 | Modified Version, as the publisher. | ||
197 | D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. | ||
198 | E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications | ||
199 | adjacent to the other copyright notices. | ||
200 | F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice | ||
201 | giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the | ||
202 | terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. | ||
203 | G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections | ||
204 | and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. | ||
205 | H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. | ||
206 | I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add | ||
207 | to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and | ||
208 | publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If | ||
209 | there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one | ||
210 | stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as | ||
211 | given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified | ||
212 | Version as stated in the previous sentence. | ||
213 | J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for | ||
214 | public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise | ||
215 | the network locations given in the Document for previous versions | ||
216 | it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. | ||
217 | You may omit a network location for a work that was published at | ||
218 | least four years before the Document itself, or if the original | ||
219 | publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. | ||
220 | K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", | ||
221 | Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all | ||
222 | the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements | ||
223 | and/or dedications given therein. | ||
224 | L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, | ||
225 | unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers | ||
226 | or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. | ||
227 | M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section | ||
228 | may not be included in the Modified Version. | ||
229 | N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" | ||
230 | or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. | ||
231 | O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. | ||
232 | |||
233 | If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or | ||
234 | appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material | ||
235 | copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all | ||
236 | of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the | ||
237 | list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. | ||
238 | These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. | ||
239 | |||
240 | You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains | ||
241 | nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various | ||
242 | parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has | ||
243 | been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a | ||
244 | standard. | ||
245 | |||
246 | You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a | ||
247 | passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list | ||
248 | of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of | ||
249 | Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or | ||
250 | through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already | ||
251 | includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or | ||
252 | by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, | ||
253 | you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit | ||
254 | permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. | ||
255 | |||
256 | The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License | ||
257 | give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or | ||
258 | imply endorsement of any Modified Version. | ||
259 | |||
260 | |||
261 | 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS | ||
262 | |||
263 | You may combine the Document with other documents released under this | ||
264 | License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified | ||
265 | versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the | ||
266 | Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and | ||
267 | list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its | ||
268 | license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. | ||
269 | |||
270 | The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and | ||
271 | multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single | ||
272 | copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but | ||
273 | different contents, make the title of each such section unique by | ||
274 | adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original | ||
275 | author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. | ||
276 | Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of | ||
277 | Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. | ||
278 | |||
279 | In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" | ||
280 | in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled | ||
281 | "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", | ||
282 | and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections | ||
283 | Entitled "Endorsements". | ||
284 | |||
285 | |||
286 | 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS | ||
287 | |||
288 | You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents | ||
289 | released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this | ||
290 | License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in | ||
291 | the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for | ||
292 | verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. | ||
293 | |||
294 | You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute | ||
295 | it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this | ||
296 | License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all | ||
297 | other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. | ||
298 | |||
299 | |||
300 | 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS | ||
301 | |||
302 | A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate | ||
303 | and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or | ||
304 | distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright | ||
305 | resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights | ||
306 | of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. | ||
307 | When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not | ||
308 | apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves | ||
309 | derivative works of the Document. | ||
310 | |||
311 | If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these | ||
312 | copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of | ||
313 | the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on | ||
314 | covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the | ||
315 | electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. | ||
316 | Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole | ||
317 | aggregate. | ||
318 | |||
319 | |||
320 | 8. TRANSLATION | ||
321 | |||
322 | Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may | ||
323 | distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. | ||
324 | Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special | ||
325 | permission from their copyright holders, but you may include | ||
326 | translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the | ||
327 | original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a | ||
328 | translation of this License, and all the license notices in the | ||
329 | Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include | ||
330 | the original English version of this License and the original versions | ||
331 | of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between | ||
332 | the translation and the original version of this License or a notice | ||
333 | or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. | ||
334 | |||
335 | If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", | ||
336 | "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve | ||
337 | its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual | ||
338 | title. | ||
339 | |||
340 | |||
341 | 9. TERMINATION | ||
342 | |||
343 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except | ||
344 | as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to | ||
345 | copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will | ||
346 | automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, | ||
347 | parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this | ||
348 | License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | ||
349 | parties remain in full compliance. | ||
350 | |||
351 | |||
352 | 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE | ||
353 | |||
354 | The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions | ||
355 | of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new | ||
356 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | ||
357 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See | ||
358 | http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. | ||
359 | |||
360 | Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. | ||
361 | If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this | ||
362 | License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of | ||
363 | following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or | ||
364 | of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the | ||
365 | Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version | ||
366 | number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not | ||
367 | as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. | ||
368 | |||
369 | |||
370 | ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents | ||
371 | |||
372 | To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of | ||
373 | the License in the document and put the following copyright and | ||
374 | license notices just after the title page: | ||
375 | |||
376 | Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. | ||
377 | Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document | ||
378 | under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 | ||
379 | or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; | ||
380 | with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. | ||
381 | A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU | ||
382 | Free Documentation License". | ||
383 | |||
384 | If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, | ||
385 | replace the "with...Texts." line with this: | ||
386 | |||
387 | with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the | ||
388 | Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. | ||
389 | |||
390 | If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other | ||
391 | combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the | ||
392 | situation. | ||
393 | |||
394 | If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we | ||
395 | recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of | ||
396 | free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, | ||
397 | to permit their use in free software. | ||

7 | <http://fsf.org/> | ||
8 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
9 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
10 | |||
11 | 0. PREAMBLE | ||
12 | |||
13 | The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other | ||
14 | functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to | ||
15 | assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, | ||
16 | with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. | ||
17 | Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way | ||
18 | to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible | ||
19 | for modifications made by others. | ||
20 | |||
21 | This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative | ||
22 | works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It | ||
23 | complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft | ||
24 | license designed for free software. | ||
25 | |||
26 | We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free | ||
27 | software, because free software needs free documentation: a free | ||
28 | program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the | ||
29 | software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; | ||
30 | it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or | ||
31 | whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License | ||
32 | principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. | ||
33 | |||
34 | |||
35 | 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS | ||
36 | |||
37 | This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that | ||
38 | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be | ||
39 | distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a | ||
40 | world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that | ||
41 | work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, | ||
42 | refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a | ||
43 | licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you | ||
44 | copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission | ||
45 | under copyright law. | ||
46 | |||
47 | A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the | ||
48 | Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with | ||
49 | modifications and/or translated into another language. | ||
50 | |||
51 | A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of | ||
52 | the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the | ||
53 | publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall | ||
54 | subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall | ||
55 | directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in | ||
56 | part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain | ||
57 | any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical | ||
58 | connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, | ||
59 | commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding | ||
60 | them. | ||
61 | |||
62 | The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles | ||
63 | are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice | ||
64 | that says that the Document is released under this License. If a | ||
65 | section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not | ||
66 | allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero | ||
67 | Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant | ||
68 | Sections then there are none. | ||
69 | |||
70 | The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, | ||
71 | as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that | ||
72 | the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may | ||
73 | be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words. | ||
74 | |||
75 | A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, | ||
76 | represented in a format whose specification is available to the | ||
77 | general public, that is suitable for revising the document | ||
78 | straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of | ||
79 | pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available | ||
80 | drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or | ||
81 | for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input | ||
82 | to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file | ||
83 | format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart | ||
84 | or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. | ||
85 | An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount | ||
86 | of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". | ||
87 | |||
88 | Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain | ||
89 | ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML | ||
90 | or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple | ||
91 | HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of | ||
92 | transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats | ||
93 | include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by | ||
94 | proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or | ||
95 | processing tools are not generally available, and the | ||
96 | machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word | ||
97 | processors for output purposes only. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, | ||
100 | plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material | ||
101 | this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in | ||
102 | formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means | ||
103 | the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, | ||
104 | preceding the beginning of the body of the text. | ||
105 | |||
106 | The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of | ||
107 | the Document to the public. | ||
108 | |||
109 | A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose | ||
110 | title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following | ||
111 | text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a | ||
112 | specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", | ||
113 | "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" | ||
114 | of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a | ||
115 | section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition. | ||
116 | |||
117 | The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which | ||
118 | states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty | ||
119 | Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this | ||
120 | License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other | ||
121 | implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has | ||
122 | no effect on the meaning of this License. | ||
123 | |||
124 | 2. VERBATIM COPYING | ||
125 | |||
126 | You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either | ||
127 | commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the | ||
128 | copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies | ||
129 | to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no | ||
130 | other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use | ||
131 | technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further | ||
132 | copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept | ||
133 | compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough | ||
134 | number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. | ||
135 | |||
136 | You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and | ||
137 | you may publicly display copies. | ||
138 | |||
139 | |||
140 | 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY | ||
141 | |||
142 | If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have | ||
143 | printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the | ||
144 | Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the | ||
145 | copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover | ||
146 | Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on | ||
147 | the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify | ||
148 | you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present | ||
149 | the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and | ||
150 | visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. | ||
151 | Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve | ||
152 | the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated | ||
153 | as verbatim copying in other respects. | ||
154 | |||
155 | If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit | ||
156 | legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit | ||
157 | reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent | ||
158 | pages. | ||
159 | |||
160 | If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering | ||
161 | more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent | ||
162 | copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy | ||
163 | a computer-network location from which the general network-using | ||
164 | public has access to download using public-standard network protocols | ||
165 | a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. | ||
166 | If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, | ||
167 | when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure | ||
168 | that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated | ||
169 | location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an | ||
170 | Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that | ||
171 | edition to the public. | ||
172 | |||
173 | It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the | ||
174 | Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to | ||
175 | give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the | ||
176 | Document. | ||
177 | |||
178 | |||
179 | 4. MODIFICATIONS | ||
180 | |||
181 | You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under | ||
182 | the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release | ||
183 | the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified | ||
184 | Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution | ||
185 | and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy | ||
186 | of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: | ||
187 | |||
188 | A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct | ||
189 | from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions | ||
190 | (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section | ||
191 | of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version | ||
192 | if the original publisher of that version gives permission. | ||
193 | B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities | ||
194 | responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified | ||
195 | Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the | ||
196 | Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), | ||
197 | unless they release you from this requirement. | ||
198 | C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the | ||
199 | Modified Version, as the publisher. | ||
200 | D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. | ||
201 | E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications | ||
202 | adjacent to the other copyright notices. | ||
203 | F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice | ||
204 | giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the | ||
205 | terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. | ||
206 | G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections | ||
207 | and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. | ||
208 | H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. | ||
209 | I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add | ||
210 | to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and | ||
211 | publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If | ||
212 | there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one | ||
213 | stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as | ||
214 | given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified | ||
215 | Version as stated in the previous sentence. | ||
216 | J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for | ||
217 | public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise | ||
218 | the network locations given in the Document for previous versions | ||
219 | it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. | ||
220 | You may omit a network location for a work that was published at | ||
221 | least four years before the Document itself, or if the original | ||
222 | publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. | ||
223 | K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", | ||
224 | Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all | ||
225 | the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements | ||
226 | and/or dedications given therein. | ||
227 | L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, | ||
228 | unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers | ||
229 | or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. | ||
230 | M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section | ||
231 | may not be included in the Modified Version. | ||
232 | N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" | ||
233 | or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. | ||
234 | O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. | ||
235 | |||
236 | If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or | ||
237 | appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material | ||
238 | copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all | ||
239 | of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the | ||
240 | list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. | ||
241 | These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. | ||
242 | |||
243 | You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains | ||
244 | nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various | ||
245 | parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has | ||
246 | been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a | ||
247 | standard. | ||
248 | |||
249 | You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a | ||
250 | passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list | ||
251 | of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of | ||
252 | Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or | ||
253 | through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already | ||
254 | includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or | ||
255 | by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, | ||
256 | you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit | ||
257 | permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. | ||
258 | |||
259 | The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License | ||
260 | give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or | ||
261 | imply endorsement of any Modified Version. | ||
262 | |||
263 | |||
264 | 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS | ||
265 | |||
266 | You may combine the Document with other documents released under this | ||
267 | License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified | ||
268 | versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the | ||
269 | Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and | ||
270 | list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its | ||
271 | license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers. | ||
272 | |||
273 | The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and | ||
274 | multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single | ||
275 | copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but | ||
276 | different contents, make the title of each such section unique by | ||
277 | adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original | ||
278 | author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. | ||
279 | Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of | ||
280 | Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. | ||
281 | |||
282 | In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" | ||
283 | in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled | ||
284 | "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", | ||
285 | and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections | ||
286 | Entitled "Endorsements". | ||
287 | |||
288 | |||
289 | 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS | ||
290 | |||
291 | You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other | ||
292 | documents released under this License, and replace the individual | ||
293 | copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy | ||
294 | that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules | ||
295 | of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all | ||
296 | other respects. | ||
297 | |||
298 | You may extract a single document from such a collection, and | ||
299 | distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a | ||
300 | copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this | ||
301 | License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that | ||
302 | document. | ||
303 | |||
304 | |||
305 | 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS | ||
306 | |||
307 | A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate | ||
308 | and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or | ||
309 | distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright | ||
310 | resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights | ||
311 | of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. | ||
312 | When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not | ||
313 | apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves | ||
314 | derivative works of the Document. | ||
315 | |||
316 | If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these | ||
317 | copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of | ||
318 | the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on | ||
319 | covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the | ||
320 | electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. | ||
321 | Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole | ||
322 | aggregate. | ||
323 | |||
324 | |||
325 | 8. TRANSLATION | ||
326 | |||
327 | Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may | ||
328 | distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. | ||
329 | Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special | ||
330 | permission from their copyright holders, but you may include | ||
331 | translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the | ||
332 | original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a | ||
333 | translation of this License, and all the license notices in the | ||
334 | Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include | ||
335 | the original English version of this License and the original versions | ||
336 | of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between | ||
337 | the translation and the original version of this License or a notice | ||
338 | or disclaimer, the original version will prevail. | ||
339 | |||
340 | If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", | ||
341 | "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve | ||
342 | its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual | ||
343 | title. | ||
344 | |||
345 | |||
346 | 9. TERMINATION | ||
347 | |||
348 | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document | ||
349 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | ||
350 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and | ||
351 | will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | ||
352 | |||
353 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | ||
354 | from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | ||
355 | unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally | ||
356 | terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder | ||
357 | fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to | ||
358 | 60 days after the cessation. | ||
359 | |||
360 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | ||
361 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | ||
362 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | ||
363 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | ||
364 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | ||
365 | your receipt of the notice. | ||
366 | |||
367 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | ||
368 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | ||
369 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | ||
370 | reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does | ||
371 | not give you any rights to use it. | ||
372 | |||
373 | |||
374 | 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE | ||
375 | |||
376 | The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the | ||
377 | GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions | ||
378 | will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in | ||
379 | detail to address new problems or concerns. See | ||
380 | http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. | ||
381 | |||
382 | Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. | ||
383 | If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this | ||
384 | License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of | ||
385 | following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or | ||
386 | of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the | ||
387 | Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version | ||
388 | number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not | ||
389 | as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document | ||
390 | specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this | ||
391 | License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a | ||
392 | version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the | ||
393 | Document. | ||
394 | |||
395 | 11. RELICENSING | ||
396 | |||
397 | "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any | ||
398 | World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also | ||
399 | provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A | ||
400 | public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A | ||
401 | "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site | ||
402 | means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site. | ||
403 | |||
404 | "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 | ||
405 | license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit | ||
406 | corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, | ||
407 | California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license | ||
408 | published by that same organization. | ||
409 | |||
410 | "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in | ||
411 | part, as part of another Document. | ||
412 | |||
413 | An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this | ||
414 | License, and if all works that were first published under this License | ||
415 | somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or | ||
416 | in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and | ||
417 | (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. | ||
418 | |||
419 | The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site | ||
420 | under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, | ||
421 | provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing. | ||
422 | |||
423 | |||
424 | ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents | ||
425 | |||
426 | To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of | ||
427 | the License in the document and put the following copyright and | ||
428 | license notices just after the title page: | ||
429 | |||
430 | Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. | ||
431 | Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document | ||
432 | under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 | ||
433 | or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; | ||
434 | with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. | ||
435 | A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU | ||
436 | Free Documentation License". | ||
437 | |||
438 | If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, | ||
439 | replace the "with...Texts." line with this: | ||
440 | |||
441 | with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the | ||
442 | Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. | ||
443 | |||
444 | If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other | ||
445 | combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the | ||
446 | situation. | ||
447 | |||
448 | If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we | ||
449 | recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of | ||
450 | free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, | ||
451 | to permit their use in free software. | ||

2 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
3 | Version 3, 29 June 2007 | ||
4 | |||
5 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | ||
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
8 | |||
9 | Preamble | ||
10 | |||
11 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | ||
12 | software and other kinds of works. | ||
13 | |||
14 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | ||
15 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | ||
16 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to | ||
17 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free | ||
18 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the | ||
19 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to | ||
20 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to | ||
21 | your programs, too. | ||
22 | |||
23 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
24 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
25 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
26 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | ||
27 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | ||
28 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | ||
29 | |||
30 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | ||
31 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have | ||
32 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if | ||
33 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. | ||
34 | |||
35 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | ||
36 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | ||
37 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive | ||
38 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they | ||
39 | know their rights. | ||
40 | |||
41 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | ||
42 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | ||
43 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | ||
44 | |||
45 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | ||
46 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | ||
47 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | ||
48 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | ||
49 | authors of previous versions. | ||
50 | |||
51 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | ||
52 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer | ||
53 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of | ||
54 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic | ||
55 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to | ||
56 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we | ||
57 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those | ||
58 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we | ||
59 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions | ||
60 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. | ||
61 | |||
62 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | ||
63 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | ||
64 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to | ||
65 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could | ||
66 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that | ||
67 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | ||
68 | |||
69 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
70 | modification follow. | ||
71 | |||
72 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
73 | |||
74 | 0. Definitions. | ||
75 | |||
76 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | ||
77 | |||
78 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of | ||
79 | works, such as semiconductor masks. | ||
80 | |||
81 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | ||
82 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and | ||
83 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. | ||
84 | |||
85 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | ||
86 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an | ||
87 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the | ||
88 | earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. | ||
89 | |||
90 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based | ||
91 | on the Program. | ||
92 | |||
93 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without | ||
94 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | ||
95 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | ||
96 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | ||
97 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | ||
98 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. | ||
99 | |||
100 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | ||
101 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through | ||
102 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | ||
103 | |||
104 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" | ||
105 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | ||
106 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | ||
107 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | ||
108 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | ||
109 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | ||
110 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | ||
111 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | ||
112 | |||
113 | 1. Source Code. | ||
114 | |||
115 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work | ||
116 | for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source | ||
117 | form of a work. | ||
118 | |||
119 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official | ||
120 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | ||
121 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | ||
122 | is widely used among developers working in that language. | ||
123 | |||
124 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other | ||
125 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | ||
126 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | ||
127 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | ||
128 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | ||
129 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | ||
130 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component | ||
131 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | ||
132 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | ||
133 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | ||
134 | |||
135 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all | ||
136 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | ||
137 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | ||
138 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | ||
139 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | ||
140 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | ||
141 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | ||
142 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for | ||
143 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | ||
144 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | ||
145 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | ||
146 | subprograms and other parts of the work. | ||
147 | |||
148 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users | ||
149 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding | ||
150 | Source. | ||
151 | |||
152 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that | ||
153 | same work. | ||
154 | |||
155 | 2. Basic Permissions. | ||
156 | |||
157 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | ||
158 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | ||
159 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | ||
160 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | ||
161 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | ||
162 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | ||
163 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | ||
164 | |||
165 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not | ||
166 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains | ||
167 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose | ||
168 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you | ||
169 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with | ||
170 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do | ||
171 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works | ||
172 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction | ||
173 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of | ||
174 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | ||
175 | |||
176 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under | ||
177 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | ||
178 | makes it unnecessary. | ||
179 | |||
180 | 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | ||
181 | |||
182 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | ||
183 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | ||
184 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | ||
185 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | ||
186 | measures. | ||
187 | |||
188 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | ||
189 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention | ||
190 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to | ||
191 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or | ||
192 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's | ||
193 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of | ||
194 | technological measures. | ||
195 | |||
196 | 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | ||
197 | |||
198 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | ||
199 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | ||
200 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | ||
201 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | ||
202 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | ||
203 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | ||
204 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | ||
205 | |||
206 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | ||
207 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | ||
208 | |||
209 | 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | ||
210 | |||
211 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | ||
212 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | ||
213 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
214 | |||
215 | a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | ||
216 | it, and giving a relevant date. | ||
217 | |||
218 | b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | ||
219 | released under this License and any conditions added under section | ||
220 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | ||
221 | "keep intact all notices". | ||
222 | |||
223 | c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | ||
224 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | ||
225 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | ||
226 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | ||
227 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | ||
228 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | ||
229 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | ||
230 | |||
231 | d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | ||
232 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | ||
233 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | ||
234 | work need not make them do so. | ||
235 | |||
236 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | ||
237 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | ||
238 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | ||
239 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | ||
240 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | ||
241 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | ||
242 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | ||
243 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | ||
244 | parts of the aggregate. | ||
245 | |||
246 | 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | ||
247 | |||
248 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | ||
249 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | ||
250 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | ||
251 | in one of these ways: | ||
252 | |||
253 | a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
254 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | ||
255 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | ||
256 | customarily used for software interchange. | ||
257 | |||
258 | b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
259 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | ||
260 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | ||
261 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | ||
262 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | ||
263 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | ||
264 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | ||
265 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | ||
266 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | ||
267 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | ||
268 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | ||
269 | |||
270 | c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | ||
271 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | ||
272 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | ||
273 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | ||
274 | with subsection 6b. | ||
275 | |||
276 | d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | ||
277 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | ||
278 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | ||
279 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | ||
280 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | ||
281 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | ||
282 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | ||
283 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | ||
284 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | ||
285 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | ||
286 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | ||
287 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | ||
288 | |||
289 | e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | ||
290 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | ||
291 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | ||
292 | charge under subsection 6d. | ||
293 | |||
294 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | ||
295 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | ||
296 | included in conveying the object code work. | ||
297 | |||
298 | A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | ||
299 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | ||
300 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | ||
301 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | ||
302 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | ||
303 | product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | ||
304 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | ||
305 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | ||
306 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | ||
307 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | ||
308 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | ||
309 | the only significant mode of use of the product. | ||
310 | |||
311 | "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | ||
312 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | ||
313 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | ||
314 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | ||
315 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | ||
316 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | ||
317 | modification has been made. | ||
318 | |||
319 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | ||
320 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | ||
321 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | ||
322 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | ||
323 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | ||
324 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | ||
325 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | ||
326 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | ||
327 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | ||
328 | been installed in ROM). | ||
329 | |||
330 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | ||
331 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | ||
332 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | ||
333 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | ||
334 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | ||
335 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | ||
336 | protocols for communication across the network. | ||
337 | |||
338 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | ||
339 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | ||
340 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | ||
341 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for | ||
342 | unpacking, reading or copying. | ||
343 | |||
344 | 7. Additional Terms. | ||
345 | |||
346 | "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | ||
347 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | ||
348 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | ||
349 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | ||
350 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | ||
351 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | ||
352 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | ||
353 | this License without regard to the additional permissions. | ||
354 | |||
355 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | ||
356 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | ||
357 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | ||
358 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | ||
359 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | ||
360 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | ||
361 | |||
362 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | ||
363 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | ||
364 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | ||
365 | |||
366 | a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | ||
367 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | ||
368 | |||
369 | b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | ||
370 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | ||
371 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or | ||
372 | |||
373 | c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | ||
374 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | ||
375 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | ||
376 | |||
377 | d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | ||
378 | authors of the material; or | ||
379 | |||
380 | e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | ||
381 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | ||
382 | |||
383 | f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | ||
384 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | ||
385 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | ||
386 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | ||
387 | those licensors and authors. | ||
388 | |||
389 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | ||
390 | restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | ||
391 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | ||
392 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further | ||
393 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | ||
394 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | ||
395 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | ||
396 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | ||
397 | not survive such relicensing or conveying. | ||
398 | |||
399 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | ||
400 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | ||
401 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | ||
402 | where to find the applicable terms. | ||
403 | |||
404 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | ||
405 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | ||
406 | the above requirements apply either way. | ||
407 | |||
408 | 8. Termination. | ||
409 | |||
410 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | ||
411 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | ||
412 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | ||
413 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | ||
414 | paragraph of section 11). | ||
415 | |||
416 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | ||
417 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | ||
418 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | ||
419 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | ||
420 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | ||
421 | prior to 60 days after the cessation. | ||
422 | |||
423 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | ||
424 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | ||
425 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | ||
426 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | ||
427 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | ||
428 | your receipt of the notice. | ||
429 | |||
430 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | ||
431 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | ||
432 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | ||
433 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | ||
434 | material under section 10. | ||
435 | |||
436 | 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | ||
437 | |||
438 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | ||
439 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | ||
440 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | ||
441 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | ||
442 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | ||
443 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | ||
444 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | ||
445 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | ||
446 | |||
447 | 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | ||
448 | |||
449 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | ||
450 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | ||
451 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | ||
452 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | ||
453 | |||
454 | An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | ||
455 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | ||
456 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | ||
457 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | ||
458 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | ||
459 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | ||
460 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | ||
461 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | ||
462 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | ||
463 | |||
464 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | ||
465 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | ||
466 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | ||
467 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | ||
468 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | ||
469 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | ||
470 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | ||
471 | |||
472 | 11. Patents. | ||
473 | |||
474 | A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | ||
475 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | ||
476 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | ||
477 | |||
478 | A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | ||
479 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | ||
480 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | ||
481 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | ||
482 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | ||
483 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | ||
484 | purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | ||
485 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | ||
486 | this License. | ||
487 | |||
488 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | ||
489 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | ||
490 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | ||
491 | propagate the contents of its contributor version. | ||
492 | |||
493 | In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | ||
494 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | ||
495 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | ||
496 | sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | ||
497 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | ||
498 | patent against the party. | ||
499 | |||
500 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | ||
501 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | ||
502 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | ||
503 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | ||
504 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | ||
505 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | ||
506 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | ||
507 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | ||
508 | license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | ||
509 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | ||
510 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | ||
511 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | ||
512 | country that you have reason to believe are valid. | ||
513 | |||
514 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | ||
515 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | ||
516 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | ||
517 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | ||
518 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | ||
519 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | ||
520 | work and works based on it. | ||
521 | |||
522 | A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | ||
523 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | ||
524 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | ||
525 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | ||
526 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | ||
527 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | ||
528 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | ||
529 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | ||
530 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | ||
531 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | ||
532 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | ||
533 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | ||
534 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | ||
535 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | ||
536 | |||
537 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | ||
538 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | ||
539 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | ||
540 | |||
541 | 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | ||
542 | |||
543 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
544 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
545 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a | ||
546 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
547 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may | ||
548 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you | ||
549 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey | ||
550 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this | ||
551 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. | ||
552 | |||
553 | 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | ||
554 | |||
555 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | ||
556 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | ||
557 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | ||
558 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | ||
559 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | ||
560 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | ||
561 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | ||
562 | combination as such. | ||
563 | |||
564 | 14. Revised Versions of this License. | ||
565 | |||
566 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | ||
567 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | ||
568 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | ||
569 | address new problems or concerns. | ||
570 | |||
571 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | ||
572 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General | ||
573 | Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the | ||
574 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered | ||
575 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software | ||
576 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the | ||
577 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published | ||
578 | by the Free Software Foundation. | ||
579 | |||
580 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future | ||
581 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's | ||
582 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you | ||
583 | to choose that version for the Program. | ||
584 | |||
585 | Later license versions may give you additional or different | ||
586 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | ||
587 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | ||
588 | later version. | ||
589 | |||
590 | 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | ||
591 | |||
592 | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | ||
593 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | ||
594 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY | ||
595 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | ||
596 | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | ||
597 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM | ||
598 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | ||
599 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
600 | |||
601 | 16. Limitation of Liability. | ||
602 | |||
603 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | ||
604 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS | ||
605 | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY | ||
606 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE | ||
607 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF | ||
608 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD | ||
609 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), | ||
610 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF | ||
611 | SUCH DAMAGES. | ||
612 | |||
613 | 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | ||
614 | |||
615 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | ||
616 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | ||
617 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | ||
618 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | ||
619 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | ||
620 | copy of the Program in return for a fee. | ||
621 | |||
622 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
623 | |||
624 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | ||
625 | |||
626 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
627 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | ||
628 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | ||
629 | |||
630 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | ||
631 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
632 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | ||
633 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
634 | |||
635 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
636 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
637 | |||
638 | This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify | ||
639 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | ||
640 | the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or | ||
641 | (at your option) any later version. | ||
642 | |||
643 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
644 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
645 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | ||
646 | GNU General Public License for more details. | ||
647 | |||
648 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | ||
649 | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | ||
650 | |||
651 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
652 | |||
653 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | ||
654 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | ||
655 | |||
656 | <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
657 | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | ||
658 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | ||
659 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | ||
660 | |||
661 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | ||
662 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands | ||
663 | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". | ||
664 | |||
665 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | ||
666 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. | ||
667 | For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see | ||
668 | <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | ||
669 | |||
670 | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program | ||
671 | into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you | ||
672 | may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with | ||
673 | the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General | ||
674 | Public License instead of this License. But first, please read | ||
675 | <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. | ||

2 | Version 2, June 1991 | ||
3 | |||
4 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., | ||
5 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
8 | |||
9 | Preamble | ||
10 | |||
11 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | ||
12 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | ||
13 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | ||
14 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This | ||
15 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software | ||
16 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to | ||
17 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by | ||
18 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to | ||
19 | your programs, too. | ||
20 | |||
21 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
22 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
23 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
24 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | ||
25 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | ||
26 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | ||
27 | |||
28 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | ||
29 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | ||
30 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | ||
31 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | ||
32 | |||
33 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | ||
34 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | ||
35 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | ||
36 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their | ||
37 | rights. | ||
38 | |||
39 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | ||
40 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | ||
41 | distribute and/or modify the software. | ||
42 | |||
43 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | ||
44 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | ||
45 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | ||
46 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | ||
47 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | ||
48 | authors' reputations. | ||
49 | |||
50 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | ||
51 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free | ||
52 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the | ||
53 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any | ||
54 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | ||
55 | |||
56 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
57 | modification follow. | ||
58 | |||
59 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
60 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
61 | |||
62 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains | ||
63 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | ||
64 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, | ||
65 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" | ||
66 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | ||
67 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, | ||
68 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | ||
69 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | ||
70 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". | ||
71 | |||
72 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
73 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | ||
74 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | ||
75 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | ||
76 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | ||
77 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | ||
78 | |||
79 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | ||
80 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | ||
81 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | ||
82 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | ||
83 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | ||
84 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | ||
85 | along with the Program. | ||
86 | |||
87 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | ||
88 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | ||
89 | |||
90 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | ||
91 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | ||
92 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | ||
93 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
94 | |||
95 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices | ||
96 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
97 | |||
98 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | ||
99 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any | ||
100 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | ||
101 | parties under the terms of this License. | ||
102 | |||
103 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively | ||
104 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such | ||
105 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | ||
106 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | ||
107 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | ||
108 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | ||
109 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this | ||
110 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but | ||
111 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | ||
112 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) | ||
113 | |||
114 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | ||
115 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | ||
116 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | ||
117 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | ||
118 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | ||
119 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | ||
120 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | ||
121 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | ||
122 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | ||
123 | |||
124 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | ||
125 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
126 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
127 | collective works based on the Program. | ||
128 | |||
129 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | ||
130 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | ||
131 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | ||
132 | the scope of this License. | ||
133 | |||
134 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | ||
135 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | ||
136 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | ||
137 | |||
138 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | ||
139 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | ||
140 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | ||
141 | |||
142 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | ||
143 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your | ||
144 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete | ||
145 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be | ||
146 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | ||
147 | customarily used for software interchange; or, | ||
148 | |||
149 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer | ||
150 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is | ||
151 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | ||
152 | received the program in object code or executable form with such | ||
153 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) | ||
154 | |||
155 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
156 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | ||
157 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | ||
158 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | ||
159 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | ||
160 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include | ||
161 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | ||
162 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | ||
163 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | ||
164 | itself accompanies the executable. | ||
165 | |||
166 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | ||
167 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | ||
168 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | ||
169 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | ||
170 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||
171 | |||
172 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | ||
173 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | ||
174 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | ||
175 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | ||
176 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | ||
177 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | ||
178 | parties remain in full compliance. | ||
179 | |||
180 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | ||
181 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | ||
182 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | ||
183 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | ||
184 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | ||
185 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | ||
186 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||
187 | the Program or works based on it. | ||
188 | |||
189 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | ||
190 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
191 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | ||
192 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | ||
193 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | ||
194 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | ||
195 | this License. | ||
196 | |||
197 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
198 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
199 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
200 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
201 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | ||
202 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
203 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | ||
204 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | ||
205 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | ||
206 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | ||
207 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | ||
208 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | ||
209 | |||
210 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | ||
211 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | ||
212 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | ||
213 | circumstances. | ||
214 | |||
215 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
216 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
217 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
218 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | ||
219 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | ||
220 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | ||
221 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||
222 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | ||
223 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | ||
224 | impose that choice. | ||
225 | |||
226 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
227 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
228 | |||
229 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in | ||
230 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
231 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | ||
232 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | ||
233 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | ||
234 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | ||
235 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | ||
236 | |||
237 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | ||
238 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | ||
239 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | ||
240 | address new problems or concerns. | ||
241 | |||
242 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | ||
243 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any | ||
244 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions | ||
245 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free | ||
246 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | ||
247 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | ||
248 | Foundation. | ||
249 | |||
250 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | ||
251 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | ||
252 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | ||
253 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | ||
254 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | ||
255 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | ||
256 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | ||
257 | |||
258 | NO WARRANTY | ||
259 | |||
260 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | ||
261 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | ||
262 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | ||
263 | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED | ||
264 | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | ||
265 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS | ||
266 | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE | ||
267 | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, | ||
268 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
269 | |||
270 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | ||
271 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | ||
272 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | ||
273 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING | ||
274 | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED | ||
275 | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY | ||
276 | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER | ||
277 | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | ||
278 | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | ||
279 | |||
280 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
281 | |||
282 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | ||
283 | |||
284 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
285 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | ||
286 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | ||
287 | |||
288 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | ||
289 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
290 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | ||
291 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
292 | |||
293 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
294 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
295 | |||
296 | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify | ||
297 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | ||
298 | the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or | ||
299 | (at your option) any later version. | ||
300 | |||
301 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
302 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
303 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | ||
304 | GNU General Public License for more details. | ||
305 | |||
306 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along | ||
307 | with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., | ||
308 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. | ||
309 | |||
310 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
311 | |||
312 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this | ||
313 | when it starts in an interactive mode: | ||
314 | |||
315 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author | ||
316 | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | ||
317 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | ||
318 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | ||
319 | |||
320 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | ||
321 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may | ||
322 | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be | ||
323 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. | ||
324 | |||
325 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | ||
326 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if | ||
327 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | ||
328 | |||
329 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program | ||
330 | `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. | ||

334 | |||
335 | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into | ||
336 | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may | ||
337 | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the | ||
338 | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General | ||
339 | Public License instead of this License. | ||

3 | Version 3, 29 June 2007 | ||
4 | |||
5 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | ||
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
8 | |||
9 | Preamble | ||
10 | |||
11 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | ||
12 | software and other kinds of works. | ||
13 | |||
14 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | ||
15 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | ||
16 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to | ||
17 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free | ||
18 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the | ||
19 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to | ||
20 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to | ||
21 | your programs, too. | ||
22 | |||
23 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
24 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
25 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
26 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | ||
27 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | ||
28 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | ||
29 | |||
30 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | ||
31 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have | ||
32 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if | ||
33 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. | ||
34 | |||
35 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | ||
36 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | ||
37 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive | ||
38 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they | ||
39 | know their rights. | ||
40 | |||
41 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | ||
42 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | ||
43 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | ||
44 | |||
45 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | ||
46 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | ||
47 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | ||
48 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | ||
49 | authors of previous versions. | ||
50 | |||
51 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | ||
52 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer | ||
53 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of | ||
54 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic | ||
55 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to | ||
56 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we | ||
57 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those | ||
58 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we | ||
59 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions | ||
60 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. | ||
61 | |||
62 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | ||
63 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | ||
64 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to | ||
65 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could | ||
66 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that | ||
67 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | ||
68 | |||
69 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
70 | modification follow. | ||
71 | |||
72 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
73 | |||
74 | 0. Definitions. | ||
75 | |||
76 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | ||
77 | |||
78 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of | ||
79 | works, such as semiconductor masks. | ||
80 | |||
81 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | ||
82 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and | ||
83 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. | ||
84 | |||
85 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | ||
86 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an | ||
87 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the | ||
88 | earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. | ||
89 | |||
90 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based | ||
91 | on the Program. | ||
92 | |||
93 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without | ||
94 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | ||
95 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | ||
96 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | ||
97 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | ||
98 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. | ||
99 | |||
100 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | ||
101 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through | ||
102 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | ||
103 | |||
104 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" | ||
105 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | ||
106 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | ||
107 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | ||
108 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | ||
109 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | ||
110 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | ||
111 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | ||
112 | |||
113 | 1. Source Code. | ||
114 | |||
115 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work | ||
116 | for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source | ||
117 | form of a work. | ||
118 | |||
119 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official | ||
120 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | ||
121 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | ||
122 | is widely used among developers working in that language. | ||
123 | |||
124 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other | ||
125 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | ||
126 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | ||
127 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | ||
128 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | ||
129 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | ||
130 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component | ||
131 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | ||
132 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | ||
133 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | ||
134 | |||
135 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all | ||
136 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | ||
137 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | ||
138 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | ||
139 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | ||
140 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | ||
141 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | ||
142 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for | ||
143 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | ||
144 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | ||
145 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | ||
146 | subprograms and other parts of the work. | ||
147 | |||
148 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users | ||
149 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding | ||
150 | Source. | ||
151 | |||
152 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that | ||
153 | same work. | ||
154 | |||
155 | 2. Basic Permissions. | ||
156 | |||
157 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | ||
158 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | ||
159 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | ||
160 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | ||
161 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | ||
162 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | ||
163 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | ||
164 | |||
165 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not | ||
166 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains | ||
167 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose | ||
168 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you | ||
169 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with | ||
170 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do | ||
171 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works | ||
172 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction | ||
173 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of | ||
174 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | ||
175 | |||
176 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under | ||
177 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | ||
178 | makes it unnecessary. | ||
179 | |||
180 | 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | ||
181 | |||
182 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | ||
183 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | ||
184 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | ||
185 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | ||
186 | measures. | ||
187 | |||
188 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | ||
189 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention | ||
190 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to | ||
191 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or | ||
192 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's | ||
193 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of | ||
194 | technological measures. | ||
195 | |||
196 | 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | ||
197 | |||
198 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | ||
199 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | ||
200 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | ||
201 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | ||
202 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | ||
203 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | ||
204 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | ||
205 | |||
206 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | ||
207 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | ||
208 | |||
209 | 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | ||
210 | |||
211 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | ||
212 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | ||
213 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
214 | |||
215 | a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | ||
216 | it, and giving a relevant date. | ||
217 | |||
218 | b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | ||
219 | released under this License and any conditions added under section | ||
220 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | ||
221 | "keep intact all notices". | ||
222 | |||
223 | c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | ||
224 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | ||
225 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | ||
226 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | ||
227 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | ||
228 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | ||
229 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | ||
230 | |||
231 | d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | ||
232 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | ||
233 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | ||
234 | work need not make them do so. | ||
235 | |||
236 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | ||
237 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | ||
238 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | ||
239 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | ||
240 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | ||
241 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | ||
242 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | ||
243 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | ||
244 | parts of the aggregate. | ||
245 | |||
246 | 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | ||
247 | |||
248 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | ||
249 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | ||
250 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | ||
251 | in one of these ways: | ||
252 | |||
253 | a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
254 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | ||
255 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | ||
256 | customarily used for software interchange. | ||
257 | |||
258 | b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
259 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | ||
260 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | ||
261 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | ||
262 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | ||
263 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | ||
264 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | ||
265 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | ||
266 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | ||
267 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | ||
268 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | ||
269 | |||
270 | c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | ||
271 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | ||
272 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | ||
273 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | ||
274 | with subsection 6b. | ||
275 | |||
276 | d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | ||
277 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | ||
278 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | ||
279 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | ||
280 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | ||
281 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | ||
282 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | ||
283 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | ||
284 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | ||
285 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | ||
286 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | ||
287 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | ||
288 | |||
289 | e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | ||
290 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | ||
291 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | ||
292 | charge under subsection 6d. | ||
293 | |||
294 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | ||
295 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | ||
296 | included in conveying the object code work. | ||
297 | |||
298 | A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | ||
299 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | ||
300 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | ||
301 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | ||
302 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | ||
303 | product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | ||
304 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | ||
305 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | ||
306 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | ||
307 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | ||
308 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | ||
309 | the only significant mode of use of the product. | ||
310 | |||
311 | "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | ||
312 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | ||
313 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | ||
314 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | ||
315 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | ||
316 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | ||
317 | modification has been made. | ||
318 | |||
319 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | ||
320 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | ||
321 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | ||
322 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | ||
323 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | ||
324 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | ||
325 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | ||
326 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | ||
327 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | ||
328 | been installed in ROM). | ||
329 | |||
330 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | ||
331 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | ||
332 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | ||
333 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | ||
334 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | ||
335 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | ||
336 | protocols for communication across the network. | ||
337 | |||
338 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | ||
339 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | ||
340 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | ||
341 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for | ||
342 | unpacking, reading or copying. | ||
343 | |||
344 | 7. Additional Terms. | ||
345 | |||
346 | "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | ||
347 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | ||
348 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | ||
349 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | ||
350 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | ||
351 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | ||
352 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | ||
353 | this License without regard to the additional permissions. | ||
354 | |||
355 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | ||
356 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | ||
357 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | ||
358 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | ||
359 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | ||
360 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | ||
361 | |||
362 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | ||
363 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | ||
364 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | ||
365 | |||
366 | a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | ||
367 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | ||
368 | |||
369 | b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | ||
370 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | ||
371 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or | ||
372 | |||
373 | c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | ||
374 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | ||
375 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | ||
376 | |||
377 | d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | ||
378 | authors of the material; or | ||
379 | |||
380 | e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | ||
381 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | ||
382 | |||
383 | f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | ||
384 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | ||
385 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | ||
386 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | ||
387 | those licensors and authors. | ||
388 | |||
389 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | ||
390 | restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | ||
391 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | ||
392 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further | ||
393 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | ||
394 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | ||
395 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | ||
396 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | ||
397 | not survive such relicensing or conveying. | ||
398 | |||
399 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | ||
400 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | ||
401 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | ||
402 | where to find the applicable terms. | ||
403 | |||
404 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | ||
405 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | ||
406 | the above requirements apply either way. | ||
407 | |||
408 | 8. Termination. | ||
409 | |||
410 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | ||
411 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | ||
412 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | ||
413 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | ||
414 | paragraph of section 11). | ||
415 | |||
416 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | ||
417 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | ||
418 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | ||
419 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | ||
420 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | ||
421 | prior to 60 days after the cessation. | ||
422 | |||
423 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | ||
424 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | ||
425 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | ||
426 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | ||
427 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | ||
428 | your receipt of the notice. | ||
429 | |||
430 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | ||
431 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | ||
432 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | ||
433 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | ||
434 | material under section 10. | ||
435 | |||
436 | 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | ||
437 | |||
438 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | ||
439 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | ||
440 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | ||
441 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | ||
442 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | ||
443 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | ||
444 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | ||
445 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | ||
446 | |||
447 | 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | ||
448 | |||
449 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | ||
450 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | ||
451 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | ||
452 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | ||
453 | |||
454 | An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | ||
455 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | ||
456 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | ||
457 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | ||
458 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | ||
459 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | ||
460 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | ||
461 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | ||
462 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | ||
463 | |||
464 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | ||
465 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | ||
466 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | ||
467 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | ||
468 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | ||
469 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | ||
470 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | ||
471 | |||
472 | 11. Patents. | ||
473 | |||
474 | A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | ||
475 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | ||
476 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | ||
477 | |||
478 | A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | ||
479 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | ||
480 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | ||
481 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | ||
482 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | ||
483 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | ||
484 | purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | ||
485 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | ||
486 | this License. | ||
487 | |||
488 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | ||
489 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | ||
490 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | ||
491 | propagate the contents of its contributor version. | ||
492 | |||
493 | In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | ||
494 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | ||
495 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | ||
496 | sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | ||
497 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | ||
498 | patent against the party. | ||
499 | |||
500 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | ||
501 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | ||
502 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | ||
503 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | ||
504 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | ||
505 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | ||
506 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | ||
507 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | ||
508 | license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | ||
509 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | ||
510 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | ||
511 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | ||
512 | country that you have reason to believe are valid. | ||
513 | |||
514 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | ||
515 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | ||
516 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | ||
517 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | ||
518 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | ||
519 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | ||
520 | work and works based on it. | ||
521 | |||
522 | A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | ||
523 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | ||
524 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | ||
525 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | ||
526 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | ||
527 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | ||
528 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | ||
529 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | ||
530 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | ||
531 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | ||
532 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | ||
533 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | ||
534 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | ||
535 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | ||
536 | |||
537 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | ||
538 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | ||
539 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | ||
540 | |||
541 | 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | ||
542 | |||
543 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
544 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
545 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a | ||
546 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
547 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may | ||
548 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you | ||
549 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey | ||
550 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this | ||
551 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. | ||
552 | |||
553 | 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | ||
554 | |||
555 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | ||
556 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | ||
557 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | ||
558 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | ||
559 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | ||
560 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | ||
561 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | ||
562 | combination as such. | ||
563 | |||
564 | 14. Revised Versions of this License. | ||
565 | |||
566 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | ||
567 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | ||
568 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | ||
569 | address new problems or concerns. | ||
570 | |||
571 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | ||
572 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General | ||
573 | Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the | ||
574 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered | ||
575 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software | ||
576 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the | ||
577 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published | ||
578 | by the Free Software Foundation. | ||
579 | |||
580 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future | ||
581 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's | ||
582 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you | ||
583 | to choose that version for the Program. | ||
584 | |||
585 | Later license versions may give you additional or different | ||
586 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | ||
587 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | ||
588 | later version. | ||
589 | |||
590 | 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | ||
591 | |||
592 | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | ||
593 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | ||
594 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY | ||
595 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | ||
596 | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | ||
597 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM | ||
598 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | ||
599 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
600 | |||
601 | 16. Limitation of Liability. | ||
602 | |||
603 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | ||
604 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS | ||
605 | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY | ||
606 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE | ||
607 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF | ||
608 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD | ||
609 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), | ||
610 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF | ||
611 | SUCH DAMAGES. | ||
612 | |||
613 | 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | ||
614 | |||
615 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | ||
616 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | ||
617 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | ||
618 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | ||
619 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | ||
620 | copy of the Program in return for a fee. | ||
621 | |||
622 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
623 | |||
624 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | ||
625 | |||
626 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
627 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | ||
628 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | ||
629 | |||
630 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | ||
631 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
632 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | ||
633 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
634 | |||
635 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
636 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
637 | |||
638 | This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify | ||
639 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | ||
640 | the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or | ||
641 | (at your option) any later version. | ||
642 | |||
643 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
644 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
645 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | ||
646 | GNU General Public License for more details. | ||
647 | |||
648 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | ||
649 | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | ||
650 | |||
651 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
652 | |||
653 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | ||
654 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | ||
655 | |||
656 | <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
657 | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | ||
658 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | ||
659 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | ||
660 | |||
661 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | ||
662 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands | ||
663 | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". | ||
664 | |||
665 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | ||
666 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. | ||
667 | For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see | ||
668 | <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | ||
669 | |||
670 | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program | ||
671 | into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you | ||
672 | may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with | ||
673 | the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General | ||
674 | Public License instead of this License. But first, please read | ||
675 | <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. | ||

1 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
2 | Version 3, 29 June 2007 | ||
3 | |||
4 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | ||
5 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
6 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
7 | |||
8 | |||
9 | This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates | ||
10 | the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public | ||
11 | License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. | ||
12 | |||
13 | 0. Additional Definitions. | ||
14 | |||
15 | As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser | ||
16 | General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU | ||
17 | General Public License. | ||
18 | |||
19 | "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, | ||
20 | other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. | ||
21 | |||
22 | An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided | ||
23 | by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. | ||
24 | Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode | ||
25 | of using an interface provided by the Library. | ||
26 | |||
27 | A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an | ||
28 | Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library | ||
29 | with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked | ||
30 | Version". | ||
31 | |||
32 | The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the | ||
33 | Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code | ||
34 | for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are | ||
35 | based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. | ||
36 | |||
37 | The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the | ||
38 | object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data | ||
39 | and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the | ||
40 | Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. | ||
41 | |||
42 | 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. | ||
43 | |||
44 | You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License | ||
45 | without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. | ||
46 | |||
47 | 2. Conveying Modified Versions. | ||
48 | |||
49 | If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a | ||
50 | facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application | ||
51 | that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the | ||
52 | facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified | ||
53 | version: | ||
54 | |||
55 | a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to | ||
56 | ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the | ||
57 | function or data, the facility still operates, and performs | ||
58 | whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or | ||
59 | |||
60 | b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of | ||
61 | this License applicable to that copy. | ||
62 | |||
63 | 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. | ||
64 | |||
65 | The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from | ||
66 | a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object | ||
67 | code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated | ||
68 | material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure | ||
69 | layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates | ||
70 | (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: | ||
71 | |||
72 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the | ||
73 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | ||
74 | covered by this License. | ||
75 | |||
76 | b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | ||
77 | document. | ||
78 | |||
79 | 4. Combined Works. | ||
80 | |||
81 | You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, | ||
82 | taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the | ||
83 | portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse | ||
84 | engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of | ||
85 | the following: | ||
86 | |||
87 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that | ||
88 | the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | ||
89 | covered by this License. | ||
90 | |||
91 | b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | ||
92 | document. | ||
93 | |||
94 | c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during | ||
95 | execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among | ||
96 | these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the | ||
97 | copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. | ||
98 | |||
99 | d) Do one of the following: | ||
100 | |||
101 | 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this | ||
102 | License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form | ||
103 | suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to | ||
104 | recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of | ||
105 | the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the | ||
106 | manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying | ||
107 | Corresponding Source. | ||
108 | |||
109 | 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | ||
110 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time | ||
111 | a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer | ||
112 | system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version | ||
113 | of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked | ||
114 | Version. | ||
115 | |||
116 | e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise | ||
117 | be required to provide such information under section 6 of the | ||
118 | GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is | ||
119 | necessary to install and execute a modified version of the | ||
120 | Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the | ||
121 | Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If | ||
122 | you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany | ||
123 | the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application | ||
124 | Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation | ||
125 | Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL | ||
126 | for conveying Corresponding Source.) | ||
127 | |||
128 | 5. Combined Libraries. | ||
129 | |||
130 | You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | ||
131 | Library side by side in a single library together with other library | ||
132 | facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this | ||
133 | License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your | ||
134 | choice, if you do both of the following: | ||
135 | |||
136 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based | ||
137 | on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, | ||
138 | conveyed under the terms of this License. | ||
139 | |||
140 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it | ||
141 | is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the | ||
142 | accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | ||
143 | |||
144 | 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. | ||
145 | |||
146 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | ||
147 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new | ||
148 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | ||
149 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
150 | |||
151 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | ||
152 | Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version | ||
153 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" | ||
154 | applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and | ||
155 | conditions either of that published version or of any later version | ||
156 | published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you | ||
157 | received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser | ||
158 | General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser | ||
159 | General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. | ||
160 | |||
161 | If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide | ||
162 | whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall | ||
163 | apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is | ||
164 | permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the | ||
165 | Library. | ||

2 | Version 2, June 1991 | ||
3 | |||
4 | Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | ||
5 | 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
8 | |||
9 | [This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is | ||
10 | numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] | ||
11 | |||
12 | Preamble | ||
13 | |||
14 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | ||
15 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | ||
16 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | ||
17 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. | ||
18 | |||
19 | This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some | ||
20 | specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any | ||
21 | other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for | ||
22 | your libraries, too. | ||
23 | |||
24 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
25 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
26 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
27 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | ||
28 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | ||
29 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | ||
30 | |||
31 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | ||
32 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | ||
33 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if | ||
34 | you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. | ||
35 | |||
36 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis | ||
37 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | ||
38 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | ||
39 | code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide | ||
40 | complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them | ||
41 | with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling | ||
42 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | ||
43 | |||
44 | Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright | ||
45 | the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal | ||
46 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | ||
47 | |||
48 | Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain | ||
49 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | ||
50 | library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we | ||
51 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original | ||
52 | version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on | ||
53 | the original authors' reputations. | ||
54 | |||
55 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | ||
56 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free | ||
57 | software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect | ||
58 | transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, | ||
59 | we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's | ||
60 | free use or not licensed at all. | ||
61 | |||
62 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary | ||
63 | GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This | ||
64 | license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain | ||
65 | designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary | ||
66 | one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is | ||
67 | the same as in the ordinary license. | ||
68 | |||
69 | The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that | ||
70 | they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a | ||
71 | program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without | ||
72 | changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is | ||
73 | analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in | ||
74 | a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a | ||
75 | derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License | ||
76 | treats it as such. | ||
77 | |||
78 | Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General | ||
79 | Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software | ||
80 | sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We | ||
81 | concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. | ||
82 | |||
83 | However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the | ||
84 | users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the | ||
85 | libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to | ||
86 | permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while | ||
87 | preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free | ||
88 | libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve | ||
89 | this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards | ||
90 | changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this | ||
91 | will lead to faster development of free libraries. | ||
92 | |||
93 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
94 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | ||
95 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | ||
96 | former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only | ||
97 | works together with the library. | ||
98 | |||
99 | Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary | ||
100 | General Public License rather than by this special one. | ||
101 | |||
102 | GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
103 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
104 | |||
105 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which | ||
106 | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized | ||
107 | party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library | ||
108 | General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is | ||
109 | addressed as "you". | ||
110 | |||
111 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | ||
112 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | ||
113 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | ||
114 | |||
115 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | ||
116 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | ||
117 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | ||
118 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | ||
119 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | ||
120 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | ||
121 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | ||
122 | |||
123 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
124 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | ||
125 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | ||
126 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation | ||
127 | and installation of the library. | ||
128 | |||
129 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
130 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | ||
131 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | ||
132 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | ||
133 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | ||
134 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | ||
135 | and what the program that uses the Library does. | ||
136 | |||
137 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's | ||
138 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | ||
139 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | ||
140 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | ||
141 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | ||
142 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | ||
143 | Library. | ||
144 | |||
145 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | ||
146 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | ||
147 | fee. | ||
148 | |||
149 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion | ||
150 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | ||
151 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | ||
152 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
153 | |||
154 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | ||
155 | |||
156 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices | ||
157 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
158 | |||
159 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no | ||
160 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | ||
161 | |||
162 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a | ||
163 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | ||
164 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | ||
165 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | ||
166 | in the event an application does not supply such function or | ||
167 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | ||
168 | its purpose remains meaningful. | ||
169 | |||
170 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has | ||
171 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | ||
172 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | ||
173 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must | ||
174 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | ||
175 | root function must still compute square roots.) | ||
176 | |||
177 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | ||
178 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | ||
179 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | ||
180 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | ||
181 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | ||
182 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | ||
183 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | ||
184 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | ||
185 | 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 | ||
189 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
190 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
191 | collective works based on the Library. | ||
192 | |||
193 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library | ||
194 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | ||
195 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | ||
196 | the scope of this License. | ||
197 | |||
198 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | ||
199 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | ||
200 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | ||
201 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | ||
202 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | ||
203 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | ||
204 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | ||
205 | these notices. | ||
206 | |||
207 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for | ||
208 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | ||
209 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | ||
210 | |||
211 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of | ||
212 | the Library into a program that is not a library. | ||
213 | |||
214 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | ||
215 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | ||
216 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | ||
217 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | ||
218 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | ||
219 | medium customarily used for software interchange. | ||
220 | |||
221 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy | ||
222 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | ||
223 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | ||
224 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | ||
225 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||
226 | |||
227 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | ||
228 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | ||
229 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | ||
230 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | ||
231 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | ||
232 | |||
233 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library | ||
234 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | ||
235 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | ||
236 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | ||
237 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | ||
238 | |||
239 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file | ||
240 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | ||
241 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | ||
242 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | ||
243 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | ||
244 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | ||
245 | |||
246 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | ||
247 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | ||
248 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | ||
249 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | ||
250 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | ||
251 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) | ||
252 | |||
253 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | ||
254 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | ||
255 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | ||
256 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | ||
257 | |||
258 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or | ||
259 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | ||
260 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | ||
261 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | ||
262 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | ||
263 | engineering for debugging such modifications. | ||
264 | |||
265 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the | ||
266 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | ||
267 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | ||
268 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | ||
269 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | ||
270 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | ||
271 | of these things: | ||
272 | |||
273 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding | ||
274 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | ||
275 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | ||
276 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | ||
277 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | ||
278 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | ||
279 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | ||
280 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | ||
281 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | ||
282 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | ||
283 | to use the modified definitions.) | ||
284 | |||
285 | b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at | ||
286 | least three years, to give the same user the materials | ||
287 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more | ||
288 | than the cost of performing this distribution. | ||
289 | |||
290 | c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy | ||
291 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | ||
292 | specified materials from the same place. | ||
293 | |||
294 | d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these | ||
295 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | ||
296 | |||
297 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the | ||
298 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | ||
299 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | ||
300 | the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally | ||
301 | distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | ||
302 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | ||
303 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | ||
304 | the executable. | ||
305 | |||
306 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | ||
307 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | ||
308 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | ||
309 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | ||
310 | distribute. | ||
311 | |||
312 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | ||
313 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | ||
314 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | ||
315 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | ||
316 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | ||
317 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | ||
318 | |||
319 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work | ||
320 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | ||
321 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | ||
322 | Sections above. | ||
323 | |||
324 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact | ||
325 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | ||
326 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | ||
327 | |||
328 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute | ||
329 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | ||
330 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | ||
331 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | ||
332 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | ||
333 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | ||
334 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | ||
335 | |||
336 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | ||
337 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | ||
338 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | ||
339 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | ||
340 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | ||
341 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | ||
342 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||
343 | the Library or works based on it. | ||
344 | |||
345 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the | ||
346 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
347 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | ||
348 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | ||
349 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | ||
350 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | ||
351 | this License. | ||
352 | |||
353 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
354 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
355 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
356 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
357 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | ||
358 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
359 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | ||
360 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | ||
361 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | ||
362 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | ||
363 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | ||
364 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | ||
365 | |||
366 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any | ||
367 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, | ||
368 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | ||
369 | |||
370 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
371 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
372 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
373 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is | ||
374 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | ||
375 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | ||
376 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||
377 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | ||
378 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | ||
379 | impose that choice. | ||
380 | |||
381 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
382 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
383 | |||
384 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | ||
385 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
386 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add | ||
387 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, | ||
388 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | ||
389 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if | ||
390 | written in the body of this License. | ||
391 | |||
392 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new | ||
393 | versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. | ||
394 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | ||
395 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
396 | |||
397 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library | ||
398 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | ||
399 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | ||
400 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | ||
401 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | ||
402 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | ||
403 | the Free Software Foundation. | ||
404 | |||
405 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free | ||
406 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, | ||
407 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | ||
408 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | ||
409 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | ||
410 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status | ||
411 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | ||
412 | and reuse of software generally. | ||
413 | |||
414 | NO WARRANTY | ||
415 | |||
416 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO | ||
417 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | ||
418 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR | ||
419 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | ||
420 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | ||
421 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | ||
422 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | ||
423 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME | ||
424 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
425 | |||
426 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN | ||
427 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | ||
428 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU | ||
429 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | ||
430 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE | ||
431 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | ||
432 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A | ||
433 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF | ||
434 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH | ||
435 | DAMAGES. | ||
436 | |||
437 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
438 | |||
439 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | ||
440 | |||
441 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
442 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | ||
443 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | ||
444 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the | ||
445 | ordinary General Public License). | ||
446 | |||
447 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is | ||
448 | safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
449 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the | ||
450 | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
451 | |||
452 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
453 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
454 | |||
455 | This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | ||
456 | modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public | ||
457 | License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | ||
458 | version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | ||
459 | |||
460 | This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
461 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
462 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | ||
463 | Library General Public License for more details. | ||
464 | |||
465 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public | ||
466 | License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | ||
467 | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
468 | |||
469 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
470 | |||
471 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | ||
472 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | ||
473 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | ||
474 | |||
475 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | ||
476 | library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. | ||

2 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
3 | Version 2.1, February 1999 | ||
4 | |||
5 | Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | ||
6 | 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
7 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
8 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
9 | |||
10 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts | ||
11 | as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence | ||
12 | the version number 2.1.] | ||
13 | |||
14 | Preamble | ||
15 | |||
16 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | ||
17 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | ||
18 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | ||
19 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. | ||
20 | |||
21 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some | ||
22 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the | ||
23 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You | ||
24 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether | ||
25 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better | ||
26 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations | ||
27 | below. | ||
28 | |||
29 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, | ||
30 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that | ||
31 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge | ||
32 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get | ||
33 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of | ||
34 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do | ||
35 | these things. | ||
36 | |||
37 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | ||
38 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these | ||
39 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for | ||
40 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. | ||
41 | |||
42 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis | ||
43 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | ||
44 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | ||
45 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide | ||
46 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them | ||
47 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling | ||
48 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | ||
49 | |||
50 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the | ||
51 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal | ||
52 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | ||
53 | |||
54 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that | ||
55 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is | ||
56 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know | ||
57 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original | ||
58 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be | ||
59 | introduced by others. | ||
60 | |||
61 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of | ||
62 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot | ||
63 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a | ||
64 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that | ||
65 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be | ||
66 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. | ||
67 | |||
68 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the | ||
69 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser | ||
70 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and | ||
71 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use | ||
72 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those | ||
73 | libraries into non-free programs. | ||
74 | |||
75 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using | ||
76 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a | ||
77 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary | ||
78 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the | ||
79 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General | ||
80 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with | ||
81 | the library. | ||
82 | |||
83 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it | ||
84 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General | ||
85 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less | ||
86 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages | ||
87 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many | ||
88 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain | ||
89 | special circumstances. | ||
90 | |||
91 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to | ||
92 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it | ||
93 | becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must | ||
94 | be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free | ||
95 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this | ||
96 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free | ||
97 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. | ||
98 | |||
99 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free | ||
100 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of | ||
101 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in | ||
102 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU | ||
103 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating | ||
104 | system. | ||
105 | |||
106 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the | ||
107 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is | ||
108 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run | ||
109 | that program using a modified version of the Library. | ||
110 | |||
111 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
112 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | ||
113 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | ||
114 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must | ||
115 | be combined with the library in order to run. | ||
116 | |||
117 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
118 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
119 | |||
120 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other | ||
121 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or | ||
122 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of | ||
123 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). | ||
124 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". | ||
125 | |||
126 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | ||
127 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | ||
128 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | ||
129 | |||
130 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | ||
131 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | ||
132 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | ||
133 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | ||
134 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | ||
135 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | ||
136 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | ||
137 | |||
138 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
139 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | ||
140 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | ||
141 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control | ||
142 | compilation and installation of the library. | ||
143 | |||
144 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
145 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | ||
146 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | ||
147 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | ||
148 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | ||
149 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | ||
150 | and what the program that uses the Library does. | ||
151 | |||
152 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's | ||
153 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | ||
154 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | ||
155 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | ||
156 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | ||
157 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | ||
158 | Library. | ||
159 | |||
160 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | ||
161 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | ||
162 | fee. | ||
163 | |||
164 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion | ||
165 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | ||
166 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | ||
167 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
168 | |||
169 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | ||
170 | |||
171 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices | ||
172 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
173 | |||
174 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no | ||
175 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | ||
176 | |||
177 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a | ||
178 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | ||
179 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | ||
180 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | ||
181 | in the event an application does not supply such function or | ||
182 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | ||
183 | its purpose remains meaningful. | ||
184 | |||
185 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has | ||
186 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | ||
187 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | ||
188 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must | ||
189 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | ||
190 | root function must still compute square roots.) | ||
191 | |||
192 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | ||
193 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | ||
194 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | ||
195 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | ||
196 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | ||
197 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | ||
198 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | ||
199 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | ||
200 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | ||
201 | it. | ||
202 | |||
203 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | ||
204 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
205 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
206 | collective works based on the Library. | ||
207 | |||
208 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library | ||
209 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | ||
210 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | ||
211 | the scope of this License. | ||
212 | |||
213 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | ||
214 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | ||
215 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | ||
216 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | ||
217 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | ||
218 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | ||
219 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | ||
220 | these notices. | ||
221 | |||
222 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for | ||
223 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | ||
224 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | ||
225 | |||
226 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of | ||
227 | the Library into a program that is not a library. | ||
228 | |||
229 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | ||
230 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | ||
231 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | ||
232 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | ||
233 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | ||
234 | medium customarily used for software interchange. | ||
235 | |||
236 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy | ||
237 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | ||
238 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | ||
239 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | ||
240 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||
241 | |||
242 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | ||
243 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | ||
244 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | ||
245 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | ||
246 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | ||
247 | |||
248 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library | ||
249 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | ||
250 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | ||
251 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | ||
252 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | ||
253 | |||
254 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file | ||
255 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | ||
256 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | ||
257 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | ||
258 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | ||
259 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | ||
260 | |||
261 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | ||
262 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | ||
263 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | ||
264 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | ||
265 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | ||
266 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) | ||
267 | |||
268 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | ||
269 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | ||
270 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | ||
271 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | ||
272 | |||
273 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or | ||
274 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | ||
275 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | ||
276 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | ||
277 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | ||
278 | engineering for debugging such modifications. | ||
279 | |||
280 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the | ||
281 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | ||
282 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | ||
283 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | ||
284 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | ||
285 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | ||
286 | of these things: | ||
287 | |||
288 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding | ||
289 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | ||
290 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | ||
291 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | ||
292 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | ||
293 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | ||
294 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | ||
295 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | ||
296 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | ||
297 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | ||
298 | to use the modified definitions.) | ||
299 | |||
300 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | ||
301 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a | ||
302 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, | ||
303 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) | ||
304 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if | ||
305 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is | ||
306 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. | ||
307 | |||
308 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least | ||
309 | three years, to give the same user the materials specified in | ||
310 | Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of | ||
311 | performing this distribution. | ||
312 | |||
313 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy | ||
314 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | ||
315 | specified materials from the same place. | ||
316 | |||
317 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these | ||
318 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | ||
319 | |||
320 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the | ||
321 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | ||
322 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | ||
323 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is | ||
324 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | ||
325 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | ||
326 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | ||
327 | the executable. | ||
328 | |||
329 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | ||
330 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | ||
331 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | ||
332 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | ||
333 | distribute. | ||
334 | |||
335 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | ||
336 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | ||
337 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | ||
338 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | ||
339 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | ||
340 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | ||
341 | |||
342 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work | ||
343 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | ||
344 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | ||
345 | Sections above. | ||
346 | |||
347 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact | ||
348 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | ||
349 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | ||
350 | |||
351 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute | ||
352 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | ||
353 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | ||
354 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | ||
355 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | ||
356 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | ||
357 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | ||
358 | |||
359 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | ||
360 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | ||
361 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | ||
362 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | ||
363 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | ||
364 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | ||
365 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||
366 | the Library or works based on it. | ||
367 | |||
368 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the | ||
369 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
370 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | ||
371 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | ||
372 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | ||
373 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with | ||
374 | this License. | ||
375 | |||
376 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
377 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
378 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
379 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
380 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | ||
381 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
382 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | ||
383 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | ||
384 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | ||
385 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | ||
386 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | ||
387 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | ||
388 | |||
389 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | ||
390 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | ||
391 | apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | ||
392 | circumstances. | ||
393 | |||
394 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
395 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
396 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
397 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is | ||
398 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | ||
399 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | ||
400 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||
401 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | ||
402 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | ||
403 | impose that choice. | ||
404 | |||
405 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
406 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
407 | |||
408 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | ||
409 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
410 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License | ||
411 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those | ||
412 | countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | ||
413 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | ||
414 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | ||
415 | |||
416 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new | ||
417 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. | ||
418 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | ||
419 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
420 | |||
421 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library | ||
422 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | ||
423 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | ||
424 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | ||
425 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | ||
426 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | ||
427 | the Free Software Foundation. | ||
428 | |||
429 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free | ||
430 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, | ||
431 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | ||
432 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | ||
433 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | ||
434 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status | ||
435 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | ||
436 | and reuse of software generally. | ||
437 | |||
438 | NO WARRANTY | ||
439 | |||
440 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO | ||
441 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | ||
442 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR | ||
443 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | ||
444 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | ||
445 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | ||
446 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | ||
447 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME | ||
448 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
449 | |||
450 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN | ||
451 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | ||
452 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU | ||
453 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | ||
454 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE | ||
455 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | ||
456 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A | ||
457 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF | ||
458 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH | ||
459 | DAMAGES. | ||
460 | |||
461 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
462 | |||
463 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | ||
464 | |||
465 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
466 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | ||
467 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | ||
468 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms | ||
469 | of the ordinary General Public License). | ||
470 | |||
471 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. | ||
472 | It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most | ||
473 | effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should | ||
474 | have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full | ||
475 | notice is found. | ||
476 | |||
477 | |||
478 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
479 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
480 | |||
481 | This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | ||
482 | modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public | ||
483 | License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | ||
484 | version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | ||
485 | |||
486 | This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
487 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
488 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | ||
489 | Lesser General Public License for more details. | ||
490 | |||
491 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public | ||
492 | License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | ||
493 | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
494 | |||
495 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
496 | |||
497 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or | ||
498 | your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, | ||
499 | if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | ||
500 | |||
501 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | ||

19 | "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, | ||
20 | other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. | ||
21 | |||
22 | An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided | ||
23 | by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. | ||
24 | Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode | ||
25 | of using an interface provided by the Library. | ||
26 | |||
27 | A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an | ||
28 | Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library | ||
29 | with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked | ||
30 | Version". | ||
31 | |||
32 | The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the | ||
33 | Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code | ||
34 | for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are | ||
35 | based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. | ||
36 | |||
37 | The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the | ||
38 | object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data | ||
39 | and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the | ||
40 | Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. | ||
41 | |||
42 | 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. | ||
43 | |||
44 | You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License | ||
45 | without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. | ||
46 | |||
47 | 2. Conveying Modified Versions. | ||
48 | |||
49 | If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a | ||
50 | facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application | ||
51 | that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the | ||
52 | facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified | ||
53 | version: | ||
54 | |||
55 | a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to | ||
56 | ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the | ||
57 | function or data, the facility still operates, and performs | ||
58 | whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or | ||
59 | |||
60 | b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of | ||
61 | this License applicable to that copy. | ||
62 | |||
63 | 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. | ||
64 | |||
65 | The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from | ||
66 | a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object | ||
67 | code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated | ||
68 | material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure | ||
69 | layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates | ||
70 | (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: | ||
71 | |||
72 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the | ||
73 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | ||
74 | covered by this License. | ||
75 | |||
76 | b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | ||
77 | document. | ||
78 | |||
79 | 4. Combined Works. | ||
80 | |||
81 | You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, | ||
82 | taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the | ||
83 | portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse | ||
84 | engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of | ||
85 | the following: | ||
86 | |||
87 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that | ||
88 | the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | ||
89 | covered by this License. | ||
90 | |||
91 | b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | ||
92 | document. | ||
93 | |||
94 | c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during | ||
95 | execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among | ||
96 | these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the | ||
97 | copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. | ||
98 | |||
99 | d) Do one of the following: | ||
100 | |||
101 | 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this | ||
102 | License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form | ||
103 | suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to | ||
104 | recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of | ||
105 | the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the | ||
106 | manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying | ||
107 | Corresponding Source. | ||
108 | |||
109 | 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | ||
110 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time | ||
111 | a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer | ||
112 | system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version | ||
113 | of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked | ||
114 | Version. | ||
115 | |||
116 | e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise | ||
117 | be required to provide such information under section 6 of the | ||
118 | GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is | ||
119 | necessary to install and execute a modified version of the | ||
120 | Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the | ||
121 | Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If | ||
122 | you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany | ||
123 | the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application | ||
124 | Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation | ||
125 | Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL | ||
126 | for conveying Corresponding Source.) | ||
127 | |||
128 | 5. Combined Libraries. | ||
129 | |||
130 | You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | ||
131 | Library side by side in a single library together with other library | ||
132 | facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this | ||
133 | License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your | ||
134 | choice, if you do both of the following: | ||
135 | |||
136 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based | ||
137 | on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, | ||
138 | conveyed under the terms of this License. | ||
139 | |||
140 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it | ||
141 | is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the | ||
142 | accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | ||
143 | |||
144 | 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. | ||
145 | |||
146 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | ||
147 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new | ||
148 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | ||
149 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
150 | |||
151 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | ||
152 | Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version | ||
153 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" | ||
154 | applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and | ||
155 | conditions either of that published version or of any later version | ||
156 | published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you | ||
157 | received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser | ||
158 | General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser | ||
159 | General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. | ||
160 | |||
161 | If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide | ||
162 | whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall | ||
163 | apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is | ||
164 | permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the | ||
165 | Library. | ||
