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

462
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
463
+
464
+ If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
465
+ possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
466
+ everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
467
+ redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
468
+ ordinary General Public License).
469
+
470
+ To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
471
+ safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
472
+ convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
473
+ "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
474
+
475
+ <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
476

+ This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
484
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
485
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
486
+ Lesser General Public License for more details.

489

491
+
492
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
493
+
494
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
495
+ school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
496
+ necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
