48 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
49 Version 2.1, February 1999
51 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
52 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
53 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
54 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
56 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
57 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
58 the version number 2.1.]
62 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
63 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
64 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
65 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
67 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
68 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
69 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
70 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
71 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
72 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
75 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
76 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
77 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
78 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
79 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
80 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
83 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
84 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
85 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
86 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
88 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
89 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
90 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
91 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
92 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
93 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
94 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
96 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
97 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
98 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
100 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
101 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
102 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
103 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
104 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
105 introduced by others.
107 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
108 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
109 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
110 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
111 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
112 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
114 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
115 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
116 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
117 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
118 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
119 libraries into non-free programs.
121 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
122 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
123 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
124 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
125 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
126 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
129 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
130 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
131 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
132 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
133 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
134 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
135 special circumstances.
137 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
138 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
139 becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
140 be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
141 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
142 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
143 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
145 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
146 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
147 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
148 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
149 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
152 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
153 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
154 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
155 that program using a modified version of the Library.
157 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
158 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
159 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
160 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
161 be combined with the library in order to run.
163 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
164 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
166 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
167 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
168 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
169 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
170 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
172 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
173 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
174 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
176 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
177 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
178 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
179 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
180 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
181 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
182 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
184 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
185 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
186 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
187 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
188 compilation and installation of the library.
190 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
191 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
192 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
193 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
194 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
195 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
196 and what the program that uses the Library does.
198 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
199 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
200 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
201 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
202 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
203 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
206 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
207 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
210 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
211 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
212 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
213 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
215 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
217 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
218 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
220 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
221 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
223 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
224 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
225 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
226 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
227 in the event an application does not supply such function or
228 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
229 its purpose remains meaningful.
231 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
232 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
233 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
234 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
235 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
236 root function must still compute square roots.)
238 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
239 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
240 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
241 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
242 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
243 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
244 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
245 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
246 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
249 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
250 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
251 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
252 collective works based on the Library.
254 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
255 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
256 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
257 the scope of this License.
259 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
260 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
261 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
262 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
263 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
264 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
265 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
268 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
269 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
270 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
272 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
273 the Library into a program that is not a library.
275 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
276 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
277 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
278 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
279 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
280 medium customarily used for software interchange.
282 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
283 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
284 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
285 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
286 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
288 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
289 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
290 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
291 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
292 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
294 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
295 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
296 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
297 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
298 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
300 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
301 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
302 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
303 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
304 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
305 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
307 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
308 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
309 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
310 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
311 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
312 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
314 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
315 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
316 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
317 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
319 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
320 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
321 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
322 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
323 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
324 engineering for debugging such modifications.
326 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
327 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
328 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
329 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
330 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
331 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
334 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
335 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
336 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
337 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
338 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
339 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
340 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
341 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
342 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
343 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
344 to use the modified definitions.)
346 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
347 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
348 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
349 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
350 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
351 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
352 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
354 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least
355 three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
356 Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
357 performing this distribution.
359 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
360 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
361 specified materials from the same place.
363 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
364 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
366 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
367 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
368 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
369 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
370 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
371 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
372 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
375 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
376 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
377 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
378 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
381 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
382 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
383 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
384 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
385 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
386 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
388 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
389 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
390 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
393 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
394 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
395 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
397 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
398 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
399 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
400 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
401 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
402 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
403 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
405 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
406 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
407 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
408 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
409 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
410 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
411 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
412 the Library or works based on it.
414 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
415 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
416 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
417 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
418 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
419 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
422 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
423 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
424 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
425 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
426 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
427 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
428 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
429 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
430 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
431 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
432 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
433 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
435 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
436 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
437 apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
440 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
441 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
442 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
443 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
444 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
445 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
446 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
447 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
448 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
451 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
452 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
454 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
455 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
456 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License
457 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
458 countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
459 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
460 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
462 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
463 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
464 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
465 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
467 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
468 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
469 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
470 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
471 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
472 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
473 the Free Software Foundation.
475 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
476 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
477 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
478 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
479 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
480 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
481 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
482 and reuse of software generally.
486 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
487 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
488 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
489 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
490 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
491 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
492 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
493 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
494 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
496 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
497 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
498 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
499 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
500 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
501 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
502 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
503 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
504 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
507 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
509 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
511 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
512 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
513 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
514 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms
515 of the ordinary General Public License).
517 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
518 It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
519 effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
520 have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
524 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
525 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
527 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
528 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
529 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
530 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
532 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
533 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
534 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU

537 You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
538 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
539 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
541 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
543 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
544 your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library,
545 if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

562 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
563 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
567 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
568 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public

573 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
574 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
577 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
578 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
579 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
580 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
581 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
582 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
584 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
585 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
586 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
587 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
589 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
590 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
591 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
592 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
595 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
596 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
597 distribute and/or modify the software.
599 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
600 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
601 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
602 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
603 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
604 authors' reputations.
606 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
607 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
608 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
609 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
610 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
612 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
615 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
616 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
618 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
619 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
620 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
621 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
622 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
623 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
624 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
625 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
626 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
628 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
629 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
630 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
631 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
632 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
633 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
635 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
636 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
637 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
638 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
639 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
640 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
641 along with the Program.
643 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
644 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
646 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
647 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
648 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
649 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
651 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
652 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
654 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
655 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
656 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
657 parties under the terms of this License.
659 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
660 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
661 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
662 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
663 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
664 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
665 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
666 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
667 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
668 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
670 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
671 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
672 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
673 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
674 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
675 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
676 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
677 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
678 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
680 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
681 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
682 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
683 collective works based on the Program.
685 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
686 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
687 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
688 the scope of this License.
690 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
691 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
692 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
694 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
695 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
696 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
698 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
699 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
700 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
701 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
702 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
703 customarily used for software interchange; or,
705 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
706 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
707 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
708 received the program in object code or executable form with such
709 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
711 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
712 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
713 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
714 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
715 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
716 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
717 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
718 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
719 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
720 itself accompanies the executable.
722 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
723 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
724 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
725 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
726 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
728 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
729 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
730 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
731 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
732 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
733 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
734 parties remain in full compliance.
736 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
737 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
738 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
739 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
740 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
741 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
742 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
743 the Program or works based on it.
745 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
746 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
747 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
748 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
749 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
750 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
753 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
754 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
755 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
756 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
757 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
758 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
759 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
760 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
761 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
762 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
763 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
764 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
766 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
767 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
768 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
771 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
772 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
773 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
774 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
775 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
776 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
777 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
778 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
779 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
782 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
783 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
785 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
786 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
787 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
788 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
789 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
790 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
791 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
793 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
794 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
795 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
796 address new problems or concerns.
798 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
799 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
800 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
801 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
802 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
803 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
806 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
807 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
808 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
809 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
810 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
811 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
812 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
816 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
817 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
818 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
819 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
820 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
821 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
822 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
823 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
824 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
826 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
827 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
828 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
829 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
830 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
831 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
832 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
833 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
834 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
836 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
838 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
840 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
841 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
842 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
844 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
845 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
846 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
847 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
849 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
850 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
852 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
853 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
854 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
855 (at your option) any later version.
857 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
858 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
859 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
860 GNU General Public License for more details.
862 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
863 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
864 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
867 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
869 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
870 when it starts in an interactive mode:
872 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
873 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
874 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
875 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
877 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
878 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
879 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
880 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
882 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
883 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
884 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
886 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
887 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

892 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
893 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
894 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
895 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
896 Public License instead of this License.
