     20 In TLS-enabled builds, compliance with the licenses of the libraries
     21 with which GNU libmicrohttpd is linked automatically constrains the
     22 available license options as follows:
     23     * If linked only with GnuTLS, the only available license option
     24       is the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or any
     25       later version.
     26     * If linked with OpenSSL, MbedTLS, or both, the only available
     27       license option is the GNU Lesser General Public License
     28       version 3 or any later version; this remains the case regardless
     29       of whether GnuTLS is also used in the same build.
     30 Accordingly, in TLS-enabled builds the alternative "GNU General

     40                        Version 2.1, February 1999
     41 
     42  Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     43  <https://fsf.org/>
     44  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
     45  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
     46 
     47 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
     48  as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
     49  the version number 2.1.]
     50 
     51                             Preamble
     52 
     53   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
     54 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
     55 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
     56 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
     57 
     58   This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
     59 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
     60 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
     61 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
     62 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
     63 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
     64 
     65   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
     66 not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
     67 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
     68 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
     69 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
     70 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
     71 these things.
     72 
     73   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
     74 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
     75 rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
     76 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
     77 
     78   For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
     79 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
     80 you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
     81 code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
     82 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
     83 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
     84 it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
     85 
     86   We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
     87 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
     88 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
     89 
     90   To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
     91 there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
     92 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
     93 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
     94 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
     95 introduced by others.
     96 
     97   Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
     98 any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
     99 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
    100 restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
    101 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
    102 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
    103 
    104   Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
    105 ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
    106 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
    107 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
    108 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
    109 libraries into non-free programs.
    110 
    111   When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
    112 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
    113 combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
    114 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
    115 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
    116 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
    117 the library.
    118 
    119   We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
    120 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
    121 Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
    122 of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
    123 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
    124 libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
    125 special circumstances.
    126 
    127   For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
    128 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
    129 a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
    130 allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
    131 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
    132 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
    133 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
    134 
    135   In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
    136 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
    137 free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
    138 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
    139 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
    140 system.
    141 
    142   Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
    143 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
    144 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
    145 that program using a modified version of the Library.
    146 
    147   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    148 modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
    149 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
    150 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
    151 be combined with the library in order to run.
    152 
    153                   GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    154    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
    155 
    156   0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
    157 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
    158 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
    159 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
    160 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
    161 
    162   A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
    163 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
    164 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
    165 
    166   The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
    167 which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
    168 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
    169 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
    170 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
    171 straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
    172 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
    173 
    174   "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
    175 making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
    176 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
    177 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
    178 and installation of the library.
    179 
    180   Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
    181 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
    182 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
    183 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
    184 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
    185 writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
    186 and what the program that uses the Library does.
    187 
    188   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
    189 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
    190 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
    191 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
    192 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
    193 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
    194 Library.
    195 
    196   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
    197 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
    198 fee.
    199 
    200   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
    201 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
    202 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
    203 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    204 
    205     a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
    206 
    207     b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
    208     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
    209 
    210     c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
    211     charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
    212 
    213     d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
    214     table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
    215     the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
    216     is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
    217     in the event an application does not supply such function or
    218     table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
    219     its purpose remains meaningful.
    220 
    221     (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
    222     a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
    223     application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
    224     application-supplied function or table used by this function must
    225     be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
    226     root function must still compute square roots.)
    227 
    228 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
    229 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
    230 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
    231 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
    232 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
    233 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
    234 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
    235 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
    236 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
    237 it.
    238 
    239 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
    240 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
    241 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
    242 collective works based on the Library.
    243 
    244 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
    245 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
    246 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
    247 the scope of this License.
    248 
    249   3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
    250 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
    251 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
    252 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
    253 instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
    254 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
    255 that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
    256 these notices.
    257 
    258   Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
    259 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
    260 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
    261 
    262   This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
    263 the Library into a program that is not a library.
    264 
    265   4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
    266 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
    267 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
    268 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
    269 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
    270 medium customarily used for software interchange.
    271 
    272   If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
    273 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
    274 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
    275 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
    276 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
    277 
    278   5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
    279 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
    280 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
    281 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
    282 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
    283 
    284   However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
    285 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
    286 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
    287 library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
    288 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
    289 
    290   When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
    291 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
    292 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
    293 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
    294 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
    295 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
    296 
    297   If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
    298 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
    299 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
    300 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
    301 work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
    302 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
    303 
    304   Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
    305 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
    306 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
    307 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
    308 
    309   6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
    310 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
    311 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
    312 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
    313 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
    314 engineering for debugging such modifications.
    315 
    316   You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
    317 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
    318 this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
    319 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
    320 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
    321 directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
    322 of these things:
    323 
    324     a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
    325     machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
    326     changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
    327     Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
    328     with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
    329     uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
    330     user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
    331     executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
    332     that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
    333     Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
    334     to use the modified definitions.)
    335 
    336     b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
    337     Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
    338     copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
    339     rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
    340     will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
    341     the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
    342     interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
    343 
    344     c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
    345     least three years, to give the same user the materials
    346     specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
    347     than the cost of performing this distribution.
    348 
    349     d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
    350     from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
    351     specified materials from the same place.
    352 
    353     e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
    354     materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
    355 
    356   For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
    357 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
    358 reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
    359 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
    360 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
    361 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
    362 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
    363 the executable.
    364 
    365   It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
    366 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
    367 accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
    368 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
    369 distribute.
    370 
    371   7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
    372 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
    373 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
    374 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
    375 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
    376 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
    377 
    378     a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
    379     based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
    380     facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
    381     Sections above.
    382 
    383     b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
    384     that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
    385     where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
    386 
    387   8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
    388 the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
    389 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
    390 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
    391 rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
    392 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
    393 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
    394 
    395   9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
    396 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
    397 distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
    398 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
    399 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
    400 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
    401 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
    402 the Library or works based on it.
    403 
    404   10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
    405 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
    406 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
    407 subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
    408 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
    409 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
    410 this License.
    411 
    412   11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
    413 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
    414 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    415 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    416 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
    417 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    418 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
    419 may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
    420 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
    421 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
    422 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
    423 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
    424 
    425 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
    426 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
    427 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
    428 
    429 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
    430 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
    431 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
    432 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
    433 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
    434 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
    435 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
    436 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
    437 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
    438 impose that choice.
    439 
    440 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
    441 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
    442 
    443   12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
    444 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
    445 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
    446 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
    447 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
    448 excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
    449 written in the body of this License.
    450 
    451   13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
    452 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
    453 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
    454 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
    455 
    456 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
    457 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
    458 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
    459 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
    460 the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
    461 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
    462 the Free Software Foundation.
    463 
    464   14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
    465 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
    466 write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
    467 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
    468 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
    469 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
    470 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
    471 and reuse of software generally.
    472 
    473                             NO WARRANTY
    474 
    475   15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
    476 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
    477 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
    478 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
    479 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
    480 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
    481 PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
    482 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
    483 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
    484 
    485   16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
    486 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
    487 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
    488 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
    489 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
    490 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
    491 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
    492 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
    493 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
    494 DAMAGES.

    500 any later version with the eCos exception version 2.0 -- follows:

    502 
    503                     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    504                        Version 2, June 1991
    505 
    506  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
    507  <https://fsf.org/>
    508  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    509  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
    510 
    511                             Preamble
    512 
    513   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
    514 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
    515 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
    516 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
    517 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
    518 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
    519 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
    520 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
    521 your programs, too.
    522 
    523   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
    524 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
    525 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
    526 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
    527 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
    528 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
    529 
    530   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
    531 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
    532 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
    533 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
    534 
    535   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    536 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
    537 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
    538 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
    539 rights.
    540 
    541   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
    542 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
    543 distribute and/or modify the software.
    544 
    545   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
    546 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
    547 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
    548 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
    549 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
    550 authors' reputations.
    551 
    552   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
    553 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
    554 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
    555 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
    556 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
    557 
    558   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    559 modification follow.
    560 
    561                     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    562    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
    563 
    564   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
    565 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
    566 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
    567 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
    568 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
    569 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
    570 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
    571 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
    572 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
    573 
    574 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
    575 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
    576 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
    577 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
    578 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
    579 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
    580 
    581   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
    582 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
    583 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
    584 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
    585 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
    586 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
    587 along with the Program.
    588 
    589 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
    590 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
    591 
    592   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
    593 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
    594 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
    595 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    596 
    597     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    598     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
    599 
    600     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    601     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    602     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    603     parties under the terms of this License.
    604 
    605     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    606     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    607     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    608     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    609     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    610     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    611     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    612     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    613     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
    614     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
    615 
    616 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
    617 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
    618 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
    619 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
    620 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
    621 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
    622 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
    623 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
    624 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
    625 
    626 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
    627 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
    628 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
    629 collective works based on the Program.
    630 
    631 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
    632 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
    633 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
    634 the scope of this License.
    635 
    636   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
    637 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
    638 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
    639 
    640     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
    641     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
    642     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
    643 
    644     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    645     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    646     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
    647     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
    648     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    649     customarily used for software interchange; or,
    650 
    651     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
    652     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
    653     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
    654     received the program in object code or executable form with such
    655     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
    656 
    657 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
    658 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
    659 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
    660 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
    661 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
    662 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
    663 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
    664 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
    665 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
    666 itself accompanies the executable.
    667 
    668 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
    669 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
    670 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
    671 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
    672 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
    673 
    674   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
    675 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
    676 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
    677 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
    678 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
    679 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
    680 parties remain in full compliance.
    681 
    682   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
    683 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
    684 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
    685 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
    686 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
    687 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
    688 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
    689 the Program or works based on it.
    690 
    691   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
    692 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
    693 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
    694 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
    695 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
    696 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
    697 this License.
    698 
    699   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
    700 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
    701 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    702 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    703 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
    704 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    705 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
    706 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
    707 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
    708 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
    709 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
    710 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
    711 
    712 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
    713 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
    714 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
    715 circumstances.
    716 
    717 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
    718 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
    719 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
    720 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
    721 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
    722 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
    723 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
    724 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
    725 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
    726 impose that choice.
    727 
    728 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
    729 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
    730 
    731   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
    732 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
    733 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
    734 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
    735 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
    736 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
    737 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
    738 
    739   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
    740 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
    741 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
    742 address new problems or concerns.
    743 
    744 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
    745 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
    746 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
    747 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
    748 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
    749 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
    750 Foundation.
    751 
    752   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
    753 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
    754 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
    755 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
    756 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
    757 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
    758 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
    759 
    760                             NO WARRANTY
    761 
    762   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
    763 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
    764 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
    765 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
    766 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
    767 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
    768 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
    769 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
    770 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
    771 
    772   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
    773 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
    774 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
    775 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
    776 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
    777 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
    778 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
    779 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
    780 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
    781 
    782             SPECIAL EXCEPTION (eCos Exception, version 2.0)
    783 
    784 This section constitutes an additional permission under the GNU General
    785 Public License, version 2 or any later version.
    786 
    787 As a special exception, if other files instantiate templates or use
    788 macros or inline functions from the Program, or you compile the
    789 Program and link it with other works to produce a work based on the
    790 Program, the Program does not by itself cause the resulting work to
