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

| 432 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software |

| 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 an idea of what it does. |

| 492 | |
| 493 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
| 494 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if |
| 495 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
