6 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

9                            Preamble
10
11  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19your programs, too.
20
21  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27
28  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32
33  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37rights.
38
39  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41distribute and/or modify the software.
42
43  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48authors' reputations.
49
50  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55
56  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57modification follow.
58
59                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61
62  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71
72Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78
79  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85along with the Program.
86
87You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89
90  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94
95    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97
98    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101    parties under the terms of this License.
102
103    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113
114These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123
124Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127collective works based on the Program.
128
129In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132the scope of this License.
133
134  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137
138    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141
142    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148
149    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154
155The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164itself accompanies the executable.
165
166If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171
172  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178parties remain in full compliance.
179
180  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187the Program or works based on it.
188
189  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195this License.
196
197  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209
210If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213circumstances.
214
215It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224impose that choice.
225
226This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228
229  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236
237  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240address new problems or concerns.
241
242Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248Foundation.
249
250  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257
258                            NO WARRANTY
259
260  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269
270  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279
280                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281
282            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283
284  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287
288  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292
293    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
294    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
295
296    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
297    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
298    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
299    (at your option) any later version.
300
301    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
302    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
303    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
304    GNU General Public License for more details.
305
306    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
308    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
309
310Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311
312If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313when it starts in an interactive mode:
314
315    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319
320The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324
325You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
328
329  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
331
332  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
333  Ty Coon, President of Vice
334
335This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339Public License instead of this License.

398Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
399license document, but changing it is not allowed.
400
401[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as
402the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the
403version number 2.1.]
404
405Preamble
406
407The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
408share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are
409intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to
410make sure the software is free for all its users.
411
412This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially
413designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software
414Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but
415we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the
416ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any
417particular case, based on the explanations below.
418
419When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not
420price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have
421the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
422service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you
423want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free
424programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
425
426To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
427distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
428rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
429you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
430
431For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for
432a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You
433must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you
434link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to
435the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making
436changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these
437terms so they know their rights.
438
439We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
440library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
441permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
442
443To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no
444warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone
445else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not
446the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be
447affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
448
449Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any
450free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively
451restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license
452from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained
453for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of
454use specified in this license.
455
456Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU
457General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public
458License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different
459from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain
460libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free
461programs.
462
463When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a
464shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined
465work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public
466License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits
467its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax
468criteria for linking other code with the library.
469
470We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does
471Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public
472License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an
473advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the
474reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
475libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
476special circumstances.
477
478For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage
479the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto
480standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the
481library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as
482widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by
483limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser
484General Public License.
485
486In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs
487enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free
488software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free
489programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as
490well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
491
492Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users'
493freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the
494Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
495modified version of the Library.
496
497The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
498follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the
499library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code
500derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the
501library in order to run.
502
503TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
504
5050. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program
506   which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other
507   authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
508   Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each
509   licensee is addressed as "you".
510
511   A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
512   prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
513   (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
514
515   The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which
516   has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library"
517   means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law:
518   that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
519   verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into
520   another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
521   limitation in the term "modification".)
522
523   "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
524   modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the
525   source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
526   definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
527   installation of the library.
528
529    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
530    covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
531    a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a
532    program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
533    Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing
534    it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the
535    program that uses the Library does.
536
5371. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete
538   source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
539   conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
540   copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices
541   that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and
542   distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
543
544   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
545   you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
546
5472. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it,
548   thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such
549   modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
550   you also meet all of these conditions:
551
552   a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
553
554   b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating
555      that you changed the files and the date of any change.
556
557   c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to
558      all third parties under the terms of this License.
559
560   d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table
561      of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the
562      facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is
563      invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in
564      the event an application does not supply such function or table, the
565      facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose
566      remains meaningful.
567
568   (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a
569    purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
570    application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
571    application-supplied function or table used by this function must be
572    optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root
573    function must still compute square roots.)
574
575   These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
576   identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and
577   can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
578   themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
579   sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
580   distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
581   the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
582   License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
583   whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
584
585   Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
586   your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
587   exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
588   collective works based on the Library.
589
590   In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
591   with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a
592   storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
593   scope of this License.
594
5953. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
596   License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
597   this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that
598   they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
599   instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
600   ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
601   that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these
602   notices.
603
604   Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that
605   copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
606   subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
607
608   This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the
609   Library into a program that is not a library.
610
6114. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of
612   it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms
613   of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the
614   complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
615   distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
616   customarily used for software interchange.
617
618   If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a
619   designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
620   code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the
621   source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
622   source along with the object code.
623
6245. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but
625   is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with
626   it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation,
627   is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the
628   scope of this License.
629
630   However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates
631   an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains
632   portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
633   library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6
634   states terms for distribution of such executables.
635
636   When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
637   that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
638   derivative work of the Library even though the source code is
639   not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
640   linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
641   threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
642
643   If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure
644   layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten
645   lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is
646   unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
647   work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
648   Library will still fall under Section 6.)
649
650   Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
651   distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section
652   6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
653   whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
654
6556. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a
656   "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work
657   containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms
658   of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work
659   for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such
660   modifications.
661
662   You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
663   Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
664   this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during
665   execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright
666   notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the
667   user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
668
669   a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable
670      source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in
671      the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above);
672      and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the
673      complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object
674      code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and
675      then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified
676      Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of
677      definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to
678      recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)
679
680   b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
681      Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy
682      of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather
683      than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will
684      operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user
685      installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible
686      with the version that the work was made with.
687
688   c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three
689      years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection
690      6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this
691      distribution.
692
693   d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a
694      designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified
695      materials from the same place.
696
697   e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials
698      or that you have already sent this user a copy.
699
700   For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library"
701   must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the
702   executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be
703   distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
704   either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
705   kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs,
706   unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
707
708   It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions
709   of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the
710   operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them
711   and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
712
7137. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library
714   side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities
715   not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library,
716   provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library
717   and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided
718   that you do these two things:
719
720   a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on
721      the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must
722      be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
723
724   b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part
725      of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find
726      the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
727
7288. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the
729   Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
730   otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the
731   Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
732   License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you
733   under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as
734   such parties remain in full compliance.
735
7369. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
737   it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute
738   the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law
739   if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
740   distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you
741   indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
742   conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works
743   based on it.
744
74510. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
746    Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
747    original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
748    subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
749    restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
750    herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
751    parties with this License.
752
75311. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
754    infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
755    conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
756    otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
757    excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
758    distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
759    License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
760    may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license
761    would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all
762    those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the
763    only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
764    entirely from distribution of the Library.
765
766    If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
767    any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
768    apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
769    circumstances.
770
771    It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
772    patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
773    such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
774    integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented
775    by public license practices. Many people have made generous
776    contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
777    system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up
778    to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
779    software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
780    choice.
781
782    This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
783    be a consequence of the rest of this License.
784
78512. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain
786    countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
787    copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an
788    explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
789    countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
790    not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
791    limitation as if written in the body of this License.
792
79313. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
794    the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions
795    will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
796    detail to address new problems or concerns.
797
798    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
799    specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
800    later version", you have the option of following the terms and
801    conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
802    the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license
803    version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
804    Software Foundation.
805
80614. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
807    programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
808    write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
809    copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
810    Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be
811    guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
812    derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse
813    of software generally.
814
815NO WARRANTY
816
81715. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
818    FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
819    OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
820    PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
821    EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
822    WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
823    ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH
824    YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
825    NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
826
82716. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
828    WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
829    REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
830    DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
831    DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY
832    (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
833    INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
834    THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
835    OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
836
837END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
838
839How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
840
841If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
842possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
843everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
844redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
845ordinary General Public License).
846
847To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
848safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
849convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
850"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
851
852one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.
