1 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
2 | Version 2.1, February 1999 | ||
3 | |||

5 | 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | ||
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
8 | |||
9 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts | ||
10 | as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence | ||
11 | the version number 2.1.] | ||
12 | |||
13 | Preamble | ||
14 | |||
15 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | ||
16 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | ||
17 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | ||
18 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. | ||
19 | |||
20 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some | ||
21 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the | ||
22 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You | ||
23 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether | ||
24 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better | ||
25 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. | ||
26 | |||
27 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, | ||
28 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that | ||
29 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge | ||
30 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get | ||
31 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of | ||
32 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do | ||
33 | these things. | ||
34 | |||
35 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | ||
36 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these | ||
37 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for | ||
38 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. | ||
39 | |||
40 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis | ||
41 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | ||
42 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | ||
43 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide | ||
44 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them | ||
45 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling | ||
46 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | ||
47 | |||
48 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the | ||
49 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal | ||
50 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | ||
51 | |||
52 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that | ||
53 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is | ||
54 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know | ||
55 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original | ||
56 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be | ||
57 | introduced by others. | ||
58 | |||
59 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of | ||
60 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot | ||
61 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a | ||
62 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that | ||
63 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be | ||
64 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. | ||
65 | |||
66 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the | ||
67 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser | ||
68 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and | ||
69 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use | ||
70 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those | ||
71 | libraries into non-free programs. | ||
72 | |||
73 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using | ||
74 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a | ||
75 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary | ||
76 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the | ||
77 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General | ||
78 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with | ||
79 | the library. | ||
80 | |||
81 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it | ||
82 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General | ||
83 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less | ||
84 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages | ||
85 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many | ||
86 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain | ||
87 | special circumstances. | ||
88 | |||
89 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to | ||
90 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes | ||
91 | a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be | ||
92 | allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free | ||
93 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this | ||
94 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free | ||
95 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. | ||
96 | |||
97 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free | ||
98 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of | ||
99 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in | ||
100 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU | ||
101 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating | ||
102 | system. | ||
103 | |||
104 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the | ||
105 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is | ||
106 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run | ||
107 | that program using a modified version of the Library. | ||
108 | |||
109 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
110 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | ||
111 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | ||
112 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must | ||
113 | be combined with the library in order to run. | ||
114 | |||
115 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
116 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
117 | |||
118 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other | ||
119 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or | ||
120 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of | ||
121 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). | ||
122 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". | ||
123 | |||
124 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | ||
125 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | ||
126 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | ||
127 | |||
128 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | ||
129 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | ||
130 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | ||
131 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | ||
132 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | ||
133 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | ||
134 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | ||
135 | |||
136 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
137 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | ||
138 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | ||
139 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation | ||
140 | and installation of the library. | ||
141 | |||
142 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
143 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | ||
144 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | ||
145 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | ||
146 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | ||
147 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | ||
148 | and what the program that uses the Library does. | ||
149 | |||
150 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's | ||
151 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | ||
152 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | ||
153 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | ||
154 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | ||
155 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | ||
156 | Library. | ||
157 | |||
158 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | ||
159 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | ||
160 | fee. | ||
161 | |||
162 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion | ||
163 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | ||
164 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | ||
165 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
166 | |||
167 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | ||
168 | |||
169 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices | ||
170 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
171 | |||
172 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no | ||
173 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | ||
174 | |||
175 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a | ||
176 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | ||
177 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | ||
178 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | ||
179 | in the event an application does not supply such function or | ||
180 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | ||
181 | its purpose remains meaningful. | ||
182 | |||
183 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has | ||
184 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | ||
185 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | ||
186 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must | ||
187 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | ||
188 | root function must still compute square roots.) | ||
189 | |||
190 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | ||
191 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | ||
192 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | ||
193 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | ||
194 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | ||
195 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | ||
196 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | ||
197 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | ||
198 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | ||
199 | it. | ||
200 | |||
201 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | ||
202 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
203 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
204 | collective works based on the Library. | ||
205 | |||
206 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library | ||
207 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | ||
208 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | ||
209 | the scope of this License. | ||
210 | |||
211 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | ||
212 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | ||
213 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | ||
214 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | ||
215 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | ||
216 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | ||
217 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | ||
218 | these notices. | ||
219 | |||
220 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for | ||
221 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | ||
222 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | ||
223 | |||
224 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of | ||
225 | the Library into a program that is not a library. | ||
226 | |||
227 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | ||
228 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | ||
229 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | ||
230 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | ||
231 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | ||
232 | medium customarily used for software interchange. | ||
233 | |||
234 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy | ||
235 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | ||
236 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | ||
237 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | ||
238 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||
239 | |||
240 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | ||
241 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | ||
242 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | ||
243 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | ||
244 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | ||
245 | |||
246 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library | ||
247 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | ||
248 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | ||
249 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | ||
250 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | ||
251 | |||
252 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file | ||
253 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | ||
254 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | ||
255 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | ||
256 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | ||
257 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | ||
258 | |||
259 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | ||
260 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | ||
261 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | ||
262 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | ||
263 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | ||
264 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) | ||
265 | |||
266 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | ||
267 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | ||
268 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | ||
269 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | ||
270 | |||
271 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or | ||
272 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | ||
273 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | ||
274 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | ||
275 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | ||
276 | engineering for debugging such modifications. | ||
277 | |||
278 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the | ||
279 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | ||
280 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | ||
281 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | ||
282 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | ||
283 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | ||
284 | of these things: | ||
285 | |||
286 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding | ||
287 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | ||
288 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | ||
289 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | ||
290 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | ||
291 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | ||
292 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | ||
293 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | ||
294 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | ||
295 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | ||
296 | to use the modified definitions.) | ||
297 | |||
298 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | ||
299 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a | ||
300 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, | ||
301 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) | ||
302 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if | ||
303 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is | ||
304 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. | ||
305 | |||
306 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at | ||
307 | least three years, to give the same user the materials | ||
308 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more | ||
309 | than the cost of performing this distribution. | ||
310 | |||
311 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy | ||
312 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | ||
313 | specified materials from the same place. | ||
314 | |||
315 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these | ||
316 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | ||
317 | |||
318 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the | ||
319 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | ||
320 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | ||
321 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is | ||
322 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | ||
323 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | ||
324 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | ||
325 | the executable. | ||
326 | |||
327 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | ||
328 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | ||
329 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | ||
330 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | ||
331 | distribute. | ||
332 | |||
333 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | ||
334 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | ||
335 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | ||
336 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | ||
337 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | ||
338 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | ||
339 | |||
340 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work | ||
341 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | ||
342 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | ||
343 | Sections above. | ||
344 | |||
345 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact | ||
346 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | ||
347 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | ||
348 | |||
349 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute | ||
350 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | ||
351 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | ||
352 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | ||
353 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | ||
354 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | ||
355 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | ||
356 | |||
357 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | ||
358 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | ||
359 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | ||
360 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | ||
361 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | ||
362 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | ||
363 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||
364 | the Library or works based on it. | ||
365 | |||
366 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the | ||
367 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
368 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | ||
369 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | ||
370 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | ||
371 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with | ||
372 | this License. | ||
373 | |||
374 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
375 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
376 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
377 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
378 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | ||
379 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
380 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | ||
381 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | ||
382 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | ||
383 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | ||
384 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | ||
385 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | ||
386 | |||
387 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any | ||
388 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, | ||
389 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | ||
390 | |||
391 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
392 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
393 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
394 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is | ||
395 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | ||
396 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | ||
397 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||
398 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | ||
399 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | ||
400 | impose that choice. | ||
401 | |||
402 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
403 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
404 | |||
405 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | ||
406 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
407 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add | ||
408 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, | ||
409 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | ||
410 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if | ||
411 | written in the body of this License. | ||
412 | |||
413 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new | ||
414 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. | ||
415 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | ||
416 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
417 | |||
418 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library | ||
419 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | ||
420 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | ||
421 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | ||
422 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | ||
423 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | ||

428 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | ||
429 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | ||
430 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | ||

460 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | ||
461 | |||
462 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
463 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | ||
464 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | ||
465 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the | ||
466 | ordinary General Public License). | ||
467 | |||
468 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is | ||
469 | safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
470 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the | ||
471 | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
472 | |||
473 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
474 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
475 | |||
476 | This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | ||
477 | modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public | ||
478 | License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | ||
479 | version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | ||
480 | |||
481 | This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
482 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
483 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | ||
484 | Lesser General Public License for more details. | ||
485 | |||
486 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public | ||
487 | License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | ||
488 | Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | ||
489 | |||
490 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
491 | |||
492 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | ||
493 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | ||
494 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | ||
495 | |||
496 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | ||
497 | library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. | ||
