| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 8 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 9 | Preamble |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 10 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 11 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 12 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 13 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 14 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 15 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 16 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 17 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 18 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 19 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 20 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 21 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 22 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 23 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 24 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 25 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 26 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 27 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 28 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 29 | these things. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 30 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 31 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 32 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 33 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 34 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 35 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 36 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 37 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 38 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 39 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 40 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 41 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 42 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 43 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 44 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 45 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 46 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 47 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 48 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 49 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 50 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 51 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 52 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 53 | introduced by others. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 54 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 55 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 56 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 57 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 58 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 59 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 60 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 61 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 62 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 63 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 64 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 65 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 66 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 67 | libraries into non-free programs. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 68 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 69 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 70 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 71 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 72 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 73 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 74 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 75 | the library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 76 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 77 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 78 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 79 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 80 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 81 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 82 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 83 | special circumstances. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 84 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 85 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 86 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 87 | a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 88 | allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 89 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 90 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 91 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 92 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 93 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 94 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 95 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 96 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 97 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 98 | system. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 99 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 100 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 101 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 102 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 103 | that program using a modified version of the Library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 104 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 105 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 106 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 107 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 108 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 109 | be combined with the library in order to run. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 110 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 111 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 112 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 113 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 114 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 115 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 116 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 117 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 118 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 119 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 120 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 121 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 122 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 123 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 124 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 125 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 126 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 127 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 128 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 129 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 130 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 131 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 132 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 133 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 134 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 135 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 136 | and installation of the library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 137 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 138 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 139 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 140 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 141 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 142 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 143 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 144 | and what the program that uses the Library does. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 145 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 146 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 147 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 148 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 149 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 150 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 151 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 152 | Library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 153 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 154 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 155 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 156 | fee. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 157 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 158 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 159 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 160 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 161 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 162 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 163 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 164 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 165 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 166 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 167 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 168 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 169 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 170 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 171 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 172 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 173 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 174 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 175 | in the event an application does not supply such function or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 176 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 177 | its purpose remains meaningful. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 178 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 179 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 180 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 181 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 182 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 183 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 184 | root function must still compute square roots.) |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 185 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 186 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 187 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 188 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 189 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 190 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 191 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 192 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 193 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 194 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 195 | it. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 196 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 197 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 198 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 199 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 200 | collective works based on the Library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 201 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 202 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 203 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 204 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 205 | the scope of this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 206 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 207 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 208 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 209 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 210 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 211 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 212 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 213 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 214 | these notices. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 215 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 216 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 217 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 218 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 219 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 220 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 221 | the Library into a program that is not a library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 222 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 223 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 224 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 225 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 226 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 227 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 228 | medium customarily used for software interchange. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 229 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 230 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 231 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 232 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 233 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 234 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 235 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 236 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 237 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 238 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 239 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 240 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 241 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 242 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 243 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 244 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 245 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 246 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 247 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 248 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 249 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 250 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 251 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 252 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 253 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 254 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 255 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 256 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 257 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 258 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 259 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 260 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 261 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 262 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 263 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 264 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 265 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 266 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 267 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 268 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 269 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 270 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 271 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 272 | engineering for debugging such modifications. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 273 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 274 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 275 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 276 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 277 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 278 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 279 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 280 | of these things: |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 281 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 282 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 283 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 284 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 285 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 286 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 287 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 288 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 289 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 290 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 291 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 292 | to use the modified definitions.) |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 293 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 294 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 295 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 296 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 297 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 298 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 299 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 300 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 301 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 302 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 303 | least three years, to give the same user the materials |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 304 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 305 | than the cost of performing this distribution. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 306 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 307 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 308 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 309 | specified materials from the same place. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 310 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 311 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 312 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 313 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 314 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 315 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 316 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 317 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 318 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 319 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 320 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 321 | the executable. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 322 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 323 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 324 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 325 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 326 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 327 | distribute. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 328 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 329 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 330 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 331 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 332 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 333 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 334 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 335 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 336 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 337 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 338 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 339 | Sections above. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 340 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 341 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 342 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 343 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 344 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 345 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 346 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 347 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 348 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 349 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 350 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 351 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 352 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 353 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 354 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 355 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 356 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 357 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 358 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 359 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 360 | the Library or works based on it. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 361 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 362 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 363 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 364 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 365 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 366 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 367 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 368 | this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 369 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 370 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 371 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 372 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 373 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 374 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 375 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 376 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 377 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 378 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 379 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 380 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 381 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 382 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 383 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 384 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 385 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 386 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 387 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 388 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 389 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 390 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 391 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 392 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 393 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 394 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 395 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 396 | impose that choice. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 397 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 398 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 399 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 400 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 401 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 402 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 403 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 404 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 405 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 406 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 407 | written in the body of this License. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 408 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 409 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 410 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 411 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 412 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 413 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 414 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 415 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 416 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 417 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 418 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 419 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 420 | the Free Software Foundation. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 421 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 422 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 423 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 424 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 425 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 426 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 427 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 428 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 429 | and reuse of software generally. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 430 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 431 | NO WARRANTY |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 432 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 433 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 434 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 435 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 436 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 437 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 438 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 439 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 440 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 441 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 442 | |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 443 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 444 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
| salco | 0:ad081a718bb3 | 445 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
