18 | + as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence |

21 | Preamble |
22 | |
23 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
24 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
25 | -License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
26 | -software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
27 | -General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
28 | -Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
29 | -using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
30 | -the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
31 | -your programs, too. |
32 | - |
33 | - When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
34 | -price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
35 | -have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
36 | -this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
37 | -if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
38 | -in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
39 | +Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
40 | +free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
41 | + |
42 | + This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
43 | +specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the |
44 | +Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You |
45 | +can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether |
46 | +this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better |
47 | +strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. |
48 | + |
49 | + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
50 | +not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
51 | +you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
52 | +for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
53 | +it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of |
54 | +it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do |
55 | +these things. |
56 | |
57 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
58 | -anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
59 | -These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
60 | -distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
61 | - |
62 | - For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
63 | -gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
64 | -you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
65 | -source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
66 | -rights. |
67 | - |
68 | - We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
69 | -(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
70 | -distribute and/or modify the software. |
71 | - |
72 | - Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
73 | -that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
74 | -software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
75 | -want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
76 | -that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
77 | -authors' reputations. |
78 | - |
79 | - Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
80 | -patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
81 | -program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
82 | -program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
83 | -patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
84 | +distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
85 | +rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
86 | +you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
87 | + |
88 | + For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
89 | +or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
90 | +you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
91 | +code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
92 | +complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
93 | +with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling |
94 | +it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
95 | + |
96 | + We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
97 | +library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
98 | +permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
99 | + |
100 | + To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that |
101 | +there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is |
102 | +modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know |
103 | +that what they have is not the original version, so that the original |
104 | +author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be |
105 | +introduced by others. |
106 | + |
107 | |
108 | + Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
109 | +any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
110 | +effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
111 | +restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that |
112 | +any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be |
113 | +consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
114 | + |
115 | + Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
116 | +ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
117 | +General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and |
118 | +is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use |
119 | +this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those |
120 | +libraries into non-free programs. |
121 | + |
122 | + When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
123 | +a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
124 | +combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
125 | +General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the |
126 | +entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General |
127 | +Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with |
128 | +the library. |
129 | + |
130 | + We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it |
131 | +does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
132 | +Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less |
133 | +of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages |
134 | +are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
135 | +libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
136 | +special circumstances. |
137 | + |
138 | + For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
139 | +encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes |
140 | +a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be |
141 | +allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free |
142 | +library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this |
143 | +case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free |
144 | +software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
145 | + |
146 | + In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
147 | +programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of |
148 | +free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in |
149 | +non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU |
150 | +operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating |
151 | +system. |
152 | + |
153 | + Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
154 | +users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is |
155 | +linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run |
156 | +that program using a modified version of the Library. |
157 | |
158 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
159 | -modification follow. |
160 | - |
161 | - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
162 | +modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
163 | +"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
164 | +former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
165 | +be combined with the library in order to run. |

169 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
170 | |
171 | - 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
172 | -a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
173 | -under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
174 | -refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
175 | -means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
176 | -that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
177 | -either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
178 | -language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
179 | -the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
180 | - |
181 | -Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
182 | + 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
183 | +program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
184 | +other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
185 | +this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
186 | +Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
187 | + |
188 | + A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
189 | +prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
190 | +(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
191 | + |
192 | + The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
193 | +which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
194 | +Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
195 | +copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
196 | +portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
197 | +straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
198 | +included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
199 | + |
200 | + "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
201 | +making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
202 | +all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
203 | +interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
204 | +and installation of the library. |
205 | + |
206 | + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
207 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
208 | -running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
209 | -is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
210 | -Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
211 | -Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
212 | - |
213 | - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
214 | -source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
215 | -conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
216 | -copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
217 | -notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
218 | -and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
219 | -along with the Program. |
220 | - |
221 | -You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
222 | -you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
223 | - |
224 | - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
225 | -of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
226 | +running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
227 | +such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
228 | +on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
229 | +writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
230 | +and what the program that uses the Library does. |
231 | + |
232 | + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
233 | +complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
234 | +you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
235 | +appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
236 | +all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
237 | +warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
238 | +Library. |
239 | + |
240 | + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
241 | +and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
242 | +fee. |
243 | + |
244 | |
245 | + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
246 | +of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
247 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
248 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
249 | |
250 | - a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
251 | + a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
252 | + |
253 | + b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
254 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
255 | |
256 | - b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
257 | - whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
258 | - part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
259 | - parties under the terms of this License. |
260 | - |
261 | - c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
262 | - when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
263 | - interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
264 | - announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
265 | - notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
266 | - a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
267 | - these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
268 | - License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
269 | - does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
270 | - the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
271 | + c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
272 | + charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
273 | + |
274 | + d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
275 | + table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
276 | + the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
277 | + is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
278 | + in the event an application does not supply such function or |
279 | + table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
280 | + its purpose remains meaningful. |
281 | + |
282 | + (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
283 | + a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
284 | + application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
285 | + application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
286 | + be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
287 | + root function must still compute square roots.) |
288 | |
289 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
290 | -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
291 | +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
292 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
293 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
294 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
295 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
296 | -on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
297 | +on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
298 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
299 | -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
300 | +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
301 | +it. |
302 | |
303 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
304 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
305 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
306 | -collective works based on the Program. |
307 | +collective works based on the Library. |
308 | |
309 | -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
310 | -with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
311 | +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
312 | +with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
313 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
314 | the scope of this License. |
315 | |
316 | - 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
317 | -under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
318 | -Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
319 | - |
320 | - a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
321 | - source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
322 | - 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
323 | - |
324 | - b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
325 | - years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
326 | - cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
327 | - machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
328 | - distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
329 | - customarily used for software interchange; or, |
330 | - |
331 | - c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
332 | - to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
333 | - allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
334 | - received the program in object code or executable form with such |
335 | - an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
336 | - |
337 | -The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
338 | -making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
339 | -code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
340 | -associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
341 | -control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
342 | -special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
343 | -anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
344 | -form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
345 | -operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
346 | -itself accompanies the executable. |
347 | - |
348 | -If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
349 | -access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
350 | -access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
351 | -distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
352 | + 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
353 | +License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
354 | +this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
355 | +that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
356 | +instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
357 | +ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
358 | +that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
359 | +these notices. |
360 | + |
361 | |
362 | + Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
363 | +that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
364 | +subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
365 | + |
366 | + This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
367 | +the Library into a program that is not a library. |
368 | + |
369 | + 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
370 | +derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
371 | +under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
372 | +it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
373 | +must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
374 | +medium customarily used for software interchange. |
375 | + |
376 | + If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
377 | +from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
378 | +source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
379 | +distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
380 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
381 | |
382 | - 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
383 | -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
384 | -otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
385 | -void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
386 | -However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
387 | -this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
388 | -parties remain in full compliance. |
389 | - |
390 | - 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
391 | + 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
392 | +Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
393 | +linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
394 | +work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
395 | +therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
396 | + |
397 | + However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
398 | +creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
399 | +contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
400 | +library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
401 | +Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
402 | + |
403 | + When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
404 | +that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
405 | +derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
406 | +Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
407 | +linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
408 | +threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
409 | + |
410 | + If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
411 | +structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
412 | +functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
413 | +file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
414 | +work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
415 | +Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
416 | + |
417 | + Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
418 | +distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
419 | +Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
420 | +whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
421 | + |
422 | |
423 | + 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or |
424 | +link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
425 | +work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
426 | +under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
427 | +modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
428 | +engineering for debugging such modifications. |
429 | + |
430 | + You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
431 | +Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
432 | +this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
433 | +during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
434 | +copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
435 | +directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
436 | +of these things: |
437 | + |
438 | + a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
439 | + machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
440 | + changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
441 | + Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
442 | + with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
443 | + uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
444 | + user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
445 | + executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
446 | + that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
447 | + Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
448 | + to use the modified definitions.) |
449 | + |
450 | + b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
451 | + Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a |
452 | + copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, |
453 | + rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) |
454 | + will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if |
455 | + the user installs one, as long as the modified version is |
456 | + interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. |
457 | + |
458 | + c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
459 | + least three years, to give the same user the materials |
460 | + specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
461 | + than the cost of performing this distribution. |
462 | + |
463 | + d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
464 | + from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
465 | + specified materials from the same place. |
466 | + |
467 | + e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
468 | + materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
469 | + |
470 | + For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
471 | +Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
472 | +reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
473 | +the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is |
474 | +normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
475 | +components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
476 | +which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
477 | +the executable. |
478 | + |
479 | + It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
480 | +restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
481 | +accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
482 | +use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
483 | +distribute. |
484 | + |
485 | |
486 | + 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
487 | +Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
488 | +facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
489 | +library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
490 | +the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
491 | +permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
492 | + |
493 | + a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
494 | + based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
495 | + facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
496 | + Sections above. |
497 | + |
498 | + b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
499 | + that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
500 | + where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
501 | + |
502 | + 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
503 | +the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
504 | +attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
505 | +distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
506 | +rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
507 | +or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
508 | +terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
509 | + |

682 | - To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
683 | -to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
