5 The "Artistic License"
6
7 Preamble
8
9The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
10Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
11semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
12while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
13the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
14reasonable modifications.
15
16Definitions:
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
30 this Package.
31
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
431. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
44Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
45duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
46
472. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
48derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
49modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
50
513. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided
52that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and
53when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the
54following:
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
714. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
72executable 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
875. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
88Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
89Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
90you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
91commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
92distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
93product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within
94an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
95form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
96interpreter is so embedded.
97
986. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
99output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
100under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
101them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
102Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
103Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
104binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
105neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
106fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
107not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
108Package.
109
1107. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
111languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
112emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
113Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
114equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
115not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
116regression tests for the language.
117
1188. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
119permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
120when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
121to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
122construed as a distribution of this Package.
123
1249. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
125products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
126
12710. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
128IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
129WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2 Version 2, June 1991
3
4 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
5 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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
12freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
13License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
15General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
19your programs, too.
20
21 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26in 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
29anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32
33 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
37rights.
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,
41distribute and/or modify the software.
42
43 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48authors' reputations.
49
50 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55
56 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57modification 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
63a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
65refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71
72Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
74running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78
79 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85along with the Program.
86
87You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88you 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
91of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93above, 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
114These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
115identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
119distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123
124Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127collective works based on the Program.
128
129In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132the scope of this License.
133
134 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136Sections 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
155The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
157code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
160special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164itself accompanies the executable.
165
166If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171
172 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
174otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178parties remain in full compliance.
179
180 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
183prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
184modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187the Program or works based on it.
188
189 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
193restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195this License.
196
197 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
202distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
205license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209
210If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213circumstances.
214
215It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
220generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224impose that choice.
225
226This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228
229 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
235the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236
237 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
239be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240address new problems or concerns.
241
242Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
243specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
247this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248Foundation.
249
250 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256of 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
261FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
262OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
267PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269
270 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278POSSIBILITY 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
285possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286free 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
289to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291the "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
307 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
308 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
309
310
311Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
312
313If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
314when it starts in an interactive mode:
315
316 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
317 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
318 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
319 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
320
321The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
322parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
323be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
324mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
325
326You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
327school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
328necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
329
330 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
331 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

336This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
337proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
338consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
339library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
340Public License instead of this License.

1 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2 Version 2, June 1991

4 Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
5 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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
15freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
16Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
17free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
18
19 This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
20specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
21other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
22your libraries, too.
23
24 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
25price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
26have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
27this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
28if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
29in 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
32anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
33These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
34you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
35
36 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
37or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
38you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
39code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
40complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
41with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
42it. 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
45the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
46permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
47
48 Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
49that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
50library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
51want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
52version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
53the original authors' reputations.
54
55 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
56patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
57software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
58transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
59we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
60free use or not licensed at all.
61
62 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
63GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
64license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
65designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
66one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
67the same as in the ordinary license.
68
69 The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
70they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
71program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
72changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
73analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
74a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
75derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
76treats it as such.
77
78 Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
79Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
80sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
81concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
82
83 However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
84users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
85libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
86permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
87preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
88libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
89this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
90changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
91will lead to faster development of free libraries.
92
93 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
94modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
95"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
96former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
97works together with the library.
98
99 Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
100General 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
106contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
107party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
108General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
109addressed as "you".
110
111 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
112prepared 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
116which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
117Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
118copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
119portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
120straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
121included without limitation in the term "modification".)
122
123 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
124making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
125all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
126interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
127and installation of the library.
128
129 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
130covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
131running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
132such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
133on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
134writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
135and what the program that uses the Library does.
136
137 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
138complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
139you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
140appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
141all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
142warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
143Library.
144
145 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
146and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
147fee.
148
149 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
150of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
151distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
152above, 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
177These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
178identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
179and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
180themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
181sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
182distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
183on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
184this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
185entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
186it.
187
188Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
189your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
190exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
191collective works based on the Library.
192
193In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
194with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
195a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
196the scope of this License.
197
198 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
199License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
200this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
201that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
202instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
203ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
204that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
205these notices.
206
207 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
208that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
209subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
210
211 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
212the Library into a program that is not a library.
213
214 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
215derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
216under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
217it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
218must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
219medium customarily used for software interchange.
220
221 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
222from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
223source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
224distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
225compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
226
227 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
228Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
229linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
230work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
231therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
232
233 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
234creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
235contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
236library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
237Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
238
239 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
240that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
241derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
242Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
243linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
244threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
245
246 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
247structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
248functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
249file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
250work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
251Library will still fall under Section 6.)
252
253 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
254distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
255Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
256whether 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
259link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
260work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
261under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
262modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
263engineering for debugging such modifications.
264
265 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
266Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
267this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
268during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
269copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
270directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
271of 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
298Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
299reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
300the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
301distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
302components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
303which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
304the executable.
305
306 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
307restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
308accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
309use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
310distribute.
311
312 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
313Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
314facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
315library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
316the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
317permitted, 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
329the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
330attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
331distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
332rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
333or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
334terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
335
336 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
337signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
338distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
339prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
340modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
341Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
342all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
343the Library or works based on it.
344
345 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
346Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
347original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
348subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
349restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
350You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
351this License.
352
353 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
354infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
355conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
356otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
357excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
358distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
359License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
360may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
361license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
362all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
363the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
364refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
365
366If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
367particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
368and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
369
370It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
371patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
372such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
373integrity of the free software distribution system which is
374implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
375generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
376through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
377system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
378to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
379impose that choice.
380
381This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
382be a consequence of the rest of this License.
383
384 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
385certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
386original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
387an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
388so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
389excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
390written in the body of this License.
391
392 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
393versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
394Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
395but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
396
397Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
398specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
399"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
400conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
401the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
402license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
403the Free Software Foundation.
404
405 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
406programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
407write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
408copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
409Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
410decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
411of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
412and reuse of software generally.
413
414 NO WARRANTY
415
416 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
417WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
418EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
419OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
420KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
421IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
422PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
423LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
424THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
425
426 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
427WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
428AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
429FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
430CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
431LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
432RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
433FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
434SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
435DAMAGES.
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
442possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
443everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
444redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
445ordinary General Public License).
446
447 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
448safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
449convey 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., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
468
469Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
470
471You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
472school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
473necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
474

476 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

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
17freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
18Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
19free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
20
21 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
22specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
23Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
24can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
25this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
26strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
27below.
28
29 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
30not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
31you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
32for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
33it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
34it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
35these things.
36
37 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
38distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
39rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
40you 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
43or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
44you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
45code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
46complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
47with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
48it. 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
51library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
52permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
53
54 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
55there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
56modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
57that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
58author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
59introduced by others.
60
61 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
62any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
63effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
64restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
65any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
66consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
67
68 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
69ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
70General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
71is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
72this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
73libraries into non-free programs.
74
75 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
76a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
77combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
78General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
79entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
80Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
81the library.
82
83 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
84does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
85Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
86of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
87are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
88libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
89special circumstances.
90
91 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
92encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
93becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
94be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
95library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
96case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
97software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
98
99 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
100programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
101free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
102non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
103operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
104system.
105
106 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
107users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
108linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
109that program using a modified version of the Library.
110
111 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
112modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
113"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
114former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
115be 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
121program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
122other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
123this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
124Each licensee is addressed as "you".
125
126 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
127prepared 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
131which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
132Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
133copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
134portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
135straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
136included without limitation in the term "modification".)
137
138 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
139making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
140all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
141interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
142compilation and installation of the library.
143
144 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
145covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
146running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
147such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
148on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
149writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
150and what the program that uses the Library does.
151
152 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
153complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
154you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
155appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
156all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
157warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
158Library.
159
160 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
161and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
162fee.
163
164 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
165of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
166distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
167above, 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
192These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
193identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
194and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
195themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
196sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
197distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
198on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
199this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
200entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
201it.
202
203Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
204your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
205exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
206collective works based on the Library.
207
208In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
209with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
210a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
211the scope of this License.
212
213 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
214License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
215this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
216that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
217instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
218ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
219that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
220these notices.
221
222 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
223that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
224subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
225
226 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
227the Library into a program that is not a library.
228
229 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
230derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
231under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
232it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
233must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
234medium customarily used for software interchange.
235
236 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
237from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
238source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
239distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
240compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
241
242 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
243Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
244linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
245work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
246therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
247
248 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
249creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
250contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
251library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
252Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
253
254 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
255that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
256derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
257Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
258linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
259threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
260
261 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
262structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
263functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
264file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
265work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
266Library will still fall under Section 6.)
267
268 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
269distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
270Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
271whether 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
274link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
275work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
276under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
277modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
278engineering for debugging such modifications.
279
280 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
281Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
282this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
283during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
284copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
285directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
286of 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
321Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
322reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
323the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
324normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
325components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
326which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
327the executable.
328
329 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
330restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
331accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
332use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
333distribute.
334
335 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
336Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
337facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
338library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
339the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
340permitted, 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
352the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
353attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
354distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
355rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
356or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
357terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
358
359 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
360signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
361distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
362prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
363modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
364Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
365all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
366the Library or works based on it.
367
368 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
369Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
370original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
371subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
372restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
373You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
374this License.
375
376 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
377infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
378conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
379otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
380excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
381distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
382License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
383may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
384license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
385all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
386the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
387refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
388
389If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
390any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
391apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
392circumstances.
393
394It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
395patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
396such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
397integrity of the free software distribution system which is
398implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
399generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
400through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
401system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
402to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
403impose that choice.
404
405This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
406be a consequence of the rest of this License.
407
408 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
409certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
410original copyright holder who places the Library under this License
411may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
412countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
413countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
414the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
415
416 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
417versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
418Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
419but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
420
421Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
422specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
423"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
424conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
425the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
426license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
427the Free Software Foundation.
428
429 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
430programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
431write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
432copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
433Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
434decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
435of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
436and reuse of software generally.
437
438 NO WARRANTY
439
440 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
441WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
442EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
443OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
444KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
445IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
446PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
447LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
448THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
449
450 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
451WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
452AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
453FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
454CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
455LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
456RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
457FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
458SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
459DAMAGES.
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
466possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
467everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
468redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms
469of the ordinary General Public License).
470
471 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
472It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
473effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
474have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
475notice 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., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
494
495Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
496
497You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
498your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library,
499if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
