125 Software in the absence of Modifications made by that
128 3. Distribution Obligations.
130 3.1. Availability of Source Code. Any Covered Software that You
131 distribute or otherwise make available in Executable form must
132 also be made available in Source Code form and that Source Code
133 form must be distributed only under the terms of this License.
134 You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the
135 Source Code form of the Covered Software You distribute or
136 otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such
137 Covered Software in Executable form as to how they can obtain
138 such Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner
139 on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
141 3.2. Modifications. The Modifications that You create or to
142 which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License.
143 You represent that You believe Your Modifications are Your
144 original creation(s) and/or You have sufficient rights to grant
145 the rights conveyed by this License.
147 3.3. Required Notices. You must include a notice in each of Your
148 Modifications that identifies You as the Contributor of the
149 Modification. You may not remove or alter any copyright, patent
150 or trademark notices contained within the Covered Software, or
151 any notices of licensing or any descriptive text giving
152 attribution to any Contributor or the Initial Developer.
154 3.4. Application of Additional Terms. You may not offer or
155 impose any terms on any Covered Software in Source Code form
156 that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License
157 or the recipients rights hereunder. You may choose to offer, and
158 to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
159 obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
160 Software. However, you may do so only on Your own behalf, and
161 not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You
162 must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support,
163 indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and
164 You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
165 Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer
166 or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity
167 or liability terms You offer.
169 3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute the
170 Executable form of the Covered Software under the terms of this
171 License or under the terms of a license of Your choice, which
172 may contain terms different from this License, provided that You
173 are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the
174 license for the Executable form does not attempt to limit or
175 alter the recipients rights in the Source Code form from the
176 rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Covered
177 Software in Executable form under a different license, You must
178 make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this
179 License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer
180 or Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
181 Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by
182 the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any
183 such terms You offer.
185 3.6. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining
186 Covered Software with other code not governed by the terms of
187 this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product.
188 In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this
189 License are fulfilled for the Covered Software.
191 4. Versions of the License.
193 4.1. New Versions. Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license
194 steward and may publish revised and/or new versions of this
195 License from time to time. Each version will be given a
196 distinguishing version number. Except as provided in Section
197 4.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to
200 4.2. Effect of New Versions. You may always continue to use,
201 distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available
202 under the terms of the version of the License under which You
203 originally received the Covered Software. If the Initial
204 Developer includes a notice in the Original Software prohibiting
205 it from being distributed or otherwise made available under any
206 subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and make
207 the Covered Software available under the terms of the version of
208 the License under which You originally received the Covered
209 Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use, distribute or
210 otherwise make the Covered Software available under the terms of
211 any subsequent version of the License published by the license
214 4.3. Modified Versions. When You are an Initial Developer and
215 You want to create a new license for Your Original Software, You
216 may create and use a modified version of this License if You:
217 (a) rename the license and remove any references to the name of
218 the license steward (except to note that the license differs
219 from this License); and (b) otherwise make it clear that the
220 license contains terms which differ from this License.
222 5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER
223 THIS LICENSE ON AN AS IS BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
224 EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
225 WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS,
226 MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
227 THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED
228 SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE
229 DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY
230 OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING,
231 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN
232 ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE
233 IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
237 6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will
238 terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein
239 and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of
240 the breach. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in
241 effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
243 6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
244 declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
245 Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
246 You assert such claim is referred to as Participant) alleging
247 that the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version
248 where the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software
249 where the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or
250 indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted
251 directly or indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial
252 Developer (if the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and
253 all Contributors under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
254 shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate
255 prospectively and automatically at the expiration of such 60 day
256 notice period, unless if within such 60 day period You withdraw
257 Your claim with respect to the Participant Software against such
258 Participant either unilaterally or pursuant to a written
259 agreement with Participant.
261 6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2
262 above, all end user licenses that have been validly granted by
263 You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding
264 licenses granted to You by any distributor) shall survive
267 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO
268 LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR
269 OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER
270 CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY
271 SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY
272 INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
273 CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST
274 PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
275 MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
276 EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY
277 OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO
278 LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
279 PARTYS NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
280 LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
281 LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS
282 EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
284 8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. The Covered Software is a
285 commercial item, as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101
286 (Oct. 1995), consisting of commercial computer software (as that
287 term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and commercial
288 computer software documentation as such terms are used in 48
289 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and
290 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
291 U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only
292 those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights
293 clause is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or
294 other clause or provision that addresses Government rights in
295 computer software under this License.
297 9. MISCELLANEOUS. This License represents the complete agreement
298 concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this
299 License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
300 reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
301 This License shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction
302 specified in a notice contained within the Original Software
303 (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides
304 otherwise), excluding such jurisdictions conflict-of-law
305 provisions. Any litigation relating to this License shall be
306 subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the
307 jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained within
308 the Original Software, with the losing party responsible for
309 costs, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable
310 attorneys fees and expenses. The application of the United
311 Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
312 Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
313 provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
314 against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You agree
315 that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United
316 States export administration regulations (and the export control
317 laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use,
318 distribute or otherwise make available any Covered Software.
320 10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS. As between Initial Developer and
321 the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and
322 damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization
323 of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial
324 Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on
325 an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be
326 deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
328 ----------------------------------------------------------------
330 NOTICE PURSUANT TO SECTION 9 OF THE COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND
331 DISTRIBUTION LICENSE (CDDL): This code is released under the
332 CDDL and shall be governed by the laws of the State of
333 California (excluding conflict-of-law provisions). Any
334 litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the
335 jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
336 California and the state courts of the State of California, with
337 venue lying in Santa Clara County, California.

341 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
342 Version 2.1, February 1999
344 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
345 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
346 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
347 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
349 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
350 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
351 the version number 2.1.]
355 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
356 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
357 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
358 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
360 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
361 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
362 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
363 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
364 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
365 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
367 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
368 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
369 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
370 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
371 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
372 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
375 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
376 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
377 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
378 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
380 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
381 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
382 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
383 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
384 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
385 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
386 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
388 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
389 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
390 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
392 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
393 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
394 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
395 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
396 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
397 introduced by others.
399 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
400 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
401 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
402 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
403 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
404 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
406 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
407 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
408 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
409 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
410 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
411 libraries into non-free programs.
413 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
414 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
415 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
416 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
417 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
418 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
421 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
422 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
423 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
424 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
425 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
426 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
427 special circumstances.
429 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
430 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
431 a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
432 allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
433 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
434 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
435 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
437 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
438 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
439 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
440 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
441 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
444 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
445 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
446 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
447 that program using a modified version of the Library.
449 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
450 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
451 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
452 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
453 be combined with the library in order to run.
455 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
456 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
458 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
459 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
460 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
461 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
462 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
464 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
465 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
466 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
468 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
469 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
470 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
471 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
472 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
473 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
474 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
476 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
477 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
478 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
479 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
480 and installation of the library.
482 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
483 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
484 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
485 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
486 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
487 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
488 and what the program that uses the Library does.
490 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
491 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
492 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
493 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
494 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
495 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
498 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
499 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
502 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
503 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
504 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
505 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
507 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
509 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
510 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
512 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
513 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
515 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
516 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
517 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
518 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
519 in the event an application does not supply such function or
520 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
521 its purpose remains meaningful.
523 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
524 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
525 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
526 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
527 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
528 root function must still compute square roots.)
530 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
531 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
532 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
533 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
534 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
535 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
536 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
537 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
538 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
541 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
542 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
543 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
544 collective works based on the Library.
546 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
547 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
548 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
549 the scope of this License.
551 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
552 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
553 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
554 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
555 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
556 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
557 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
560 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
561 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
562 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
564 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
565 the Library into a program that is not a library.
567 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
568 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
569 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
570 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
571 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
572 medium customarily used for software interchange.
574 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
575 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
576 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
577 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
578 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
580 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
581 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
582 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
583 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
584 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
586 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
587 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
588 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
589 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
590 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
592 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
593 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
594 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
595 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
596 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
597 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
599 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
600 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
601 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
602 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
603 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
604 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
606 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
607 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
608 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
609 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
611 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
612 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
613 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
614 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
615 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
616 engineering for debugging such modifications.
618 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
619 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
620 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
621 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
622 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
623 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
626 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
627 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
628 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
629 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
630 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
631 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
632 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
633 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
634 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
635 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
636 to use the modified definitions.)
638 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
639 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
640 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
641 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
642 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
643 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
644 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
646 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
647 least three years, to give the same user the materials
648 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
649 than the cost of performing this distribution.
651 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
652 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
653 specified materials from the same place.
655 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
656 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
658 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
659 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
660 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
661 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
662 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
663 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
664 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
667 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
668 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
669 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
670 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
673 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
674 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
675 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
676 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
677 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
678 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
680 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
681 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
682 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
685 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
686 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
687 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
689 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
690 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
691 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
692 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
693 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
694 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
695 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
697 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
698 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
699 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
700 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
701 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
702 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
703 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
704 the Library or works based on it.
706 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
707 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
708 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
709 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
710 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
711 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
714 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
715 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
716 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
717 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
718 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
719 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
720 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
721 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
722 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
723 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
724 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
725 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
727 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
728 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
729 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
731 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
732 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
733 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
734 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
735 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
736 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
737 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
738 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
739 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
742 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
743 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
745 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
746 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
747 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
748 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
749 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
750 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
751 written in the body of this License.
753 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
754 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
755 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
756 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
758 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
759 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
760 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
761 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
762 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
763 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
764 the Free Software Foundation.
766 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
767 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
768 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
769 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
770 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
771 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
772 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
773 and reuse of software generally.
777 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
778 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
779 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
780 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
781 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
782 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
783 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
784 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
785 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
787 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
788 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
789 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
790 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
791 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
792 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
793 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
794 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
795 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
798 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
