It also counts - as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the - version number 2.1.] - -**Preamble** - -The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to -share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are -intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software—to -make sure the software is free for all its users. - -This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some -specially designated software—typically libraries—of the Free Software -Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, -but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or -the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any -particular case, based on the explanations below. - -When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not -price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you -have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for -this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if -you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in -new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these -things. - -To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid -distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these -rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you -if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. - -For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or -for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. -You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. -If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete -object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the -library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you -must show them these terms so they know their rights. - -We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the -library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal -permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. - -To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is -no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by -someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they -have is not the original version, so that the original author’s -reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by -others. - -Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any -free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively -restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license -from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license -obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full -freedom of use specified in this license. - -Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary -GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public -License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different -from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for -certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into -non-free programs. - -When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a -shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a -combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary -General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire -combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public -License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the -library. - -We call this license the Lesser General Public License because it does -*Less* to protect the user’s freedom than the ordinary General Public -License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an -advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the -reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. -However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special -circumstances. - -For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage -the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a -de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to -use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the -same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is -little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we -use the Lesser General Public License. - -In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free -programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free -software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free -programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, -as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. - -Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the -users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked -with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program -using a modified version of the Library. - -The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a -“work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The -former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must -be combined with the library in order to run. - -**TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION** - -1. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other - program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or - other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms - of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this License”). - Each licensee is addressed as “you”. - - A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data - prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs - (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. - - The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work - which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the - Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under - copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a - portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or - translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, - translation is included without limitation in the term - “modification”.) - - “Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for - making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code - means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any - associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to - control compilation and installation of the library. - - Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not - covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of - running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output - from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a - work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in - a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the - Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. - -2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s - complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that - you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an - appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact - all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any - warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the - Library. - - You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, - and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for - a fee. - -3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of - it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and - distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 - above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - - a. The modified work must itself be a software library. - - b. You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - c. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge - to all third parties under the terms of this License. - - d. If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a - table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses - the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility - is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure - that, in the event an application does not supply such function - or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part - of its purpose remains meaningful. - - (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has - a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the - application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any - application-supplied function or table used by this function must - be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square - root function must still compute square roots.) - - These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If - identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, - and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in - themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those - sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you - distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work - based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the - terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend - to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of - who wrote it. - - Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or - contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the - intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of - derivative or collective works based on the Library. - - In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the - Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a - volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other - work under the scope of this License. - -4. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public - License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To - do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, - so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, - version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than - version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, - then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make - any other change in these notices. - - Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for - that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all - subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. - - This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the - Library into a program that is not a library. - -5. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative - of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the - terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with - the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must - be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium - customarily used for software interchange. - - If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy - from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the - source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to - distribute the source code, even though third parties are not - compelled to copy the source along with the object code. - -6. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, - but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked - with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in - isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore - falls outside the scope of this License. - - However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library - creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because - it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses - the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. - Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. - - When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file - that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a - derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. - Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be - linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The - threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. - - If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data - structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline - functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object - file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a - derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus - portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) - - Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may - distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section - 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, - whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. - -7. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link - a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work - containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under - terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of - the work for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for - debugging such modifications. - - You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the - Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered - by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work - during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the - copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference - directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do - one of these things: - - a. Accompany the work with the complete corresponding - machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever - changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under - Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked - with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that - uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the - user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified - executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood - that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in - the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the - application to use the modified definitions.) - - b. Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the - Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a - copy of the library already present on the user’s computer - system, rather than copying library functions into the - executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version - of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified - version is interface-compatible with the version that the work - was made with. - - c. Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three - years, to give the same user the materials specified in - Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of - performing this distribution. - - d. If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy - from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the - above specified materials from the same place. - - e. Verify that the user has already received a copy of these - materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. - - For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the - Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for - reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, - the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is - normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the - major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating - system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself - accompanies the executable. - - It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license - restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally - accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you - cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that - you distribute. - -8. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the - Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library - facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a - combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the - work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is - otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: - - a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based - on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. - This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. - - b. Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that - part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where - to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. - -9. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the - Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt - otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the - Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under - this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, - from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated - so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - -10. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not - signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or - distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are - prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by - modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the - Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and - all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying - the Library or works based on it. - -11. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the - Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the - original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the - Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose - any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights - granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by - third parties with this License. - -12. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent - infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), - conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or - otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do - not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot - distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under - this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a - consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, - if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of - the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly - through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this - License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the - Library. - - If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable - under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is - intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply - in other circumstances. - - It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any - patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any - such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the - integrity of the free software distribution system which is - implemented by public license practices. Many people have made - generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed - through that system in reliance on consistent application of that - system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is - willing to distribute software through any other system and a - licensee cannot impose that choice. - - This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed - to be a consequence of the rest of this License. - -13. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in - certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, - the original copyright holder who places the Library under this - License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation - excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in - or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License - incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this - License. - -14. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions - of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new - versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may - differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. - - Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the - Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to - it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the - terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version - published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not - specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever - published by the Free Software Foundation. - -15. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free - programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, - write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is - copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free - Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our - decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free - status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the - sharing and reuse of software generally. - - NO WARRANTY -16. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY - FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT - WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER - PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, - EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE - IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR - PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE - LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME - THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. - -17. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN - WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY - AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU - FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR - CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE - LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING - RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A - FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF - SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF - SUCH DAMAGES. - -**END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS** - -**How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries** - -If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest -possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that -everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting -redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of -the ordinary General Public License). - -To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is -safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most -effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have -at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is -found. - -:: - - one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does. - Copyright (C) year name of author - - This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it - under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by - the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at - your option) any later version. - - This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but - WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
