1 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2 Version 3, 29 June 2007
4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
9 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
10 the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
11 License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
13 0. Additional Definitions.
15 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
16 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
17 General Public License.
19 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
20 other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
22 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
23 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
24 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
25 of using an interface provided by the Library.
27 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
28 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
29 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
32 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
33 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
34 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
35 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
37 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
38 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
39 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
40 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
42 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
44 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
45 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
47 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
49 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
50 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
51 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
52 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
55 a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
56 ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
57 function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
58 whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
60 b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
61 this License applicable to that copy.
63 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
65 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
66 a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
67 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
68 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
69 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
70 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
72 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
73 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
74 covered by this License.
76 b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
81 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
82 taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
83 portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
84 engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
87 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
88 the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
89 covered by this License.
91 b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
94 c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
95 execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
96 these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
97 copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
99 d) Do one of the following:
101 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
102 License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
103 suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
104 recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
105 the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
106 manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
107 Corresponding Source.
109 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
110 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
111 a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
112 system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
113 of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
116 e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
117 be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
118 GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
119 necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
120 Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
121 Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
122 you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
123 the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
124 Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
125 Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
126 for conveying Corresponding Source.)
128 5. Combined Libraries.
130 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
131 Library side by side in a single library together with other library
132 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
133 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
134 choice, if you do both of the following:
136 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
137 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
138 conveyed under the terms of this License.
140 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
141 is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
142 accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
144 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
146 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
147 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
148 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
149 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
151 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
152 Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
153 of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
154 applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
155 conditions either of that published version or of any later version
156 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
157 received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
158 General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
159 General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
161 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
162 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
163 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
164 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the

169 Version 2.1, February 1999
171 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
172 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
173 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
174 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
176 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
177 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
178 the version number 2.1.]
182 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
183 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
184 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
185 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
187 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
188 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
189 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
190 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
191 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
192 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
195 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
196 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
197 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
198 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
199 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
200 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
203 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
204 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
205 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
206 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
208 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
209 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
210 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
211 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
212 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
213 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
214 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
216 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
217 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
218 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
220 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
221 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
222 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
223 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
224 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
225 introduced by others.
227 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
228 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
229 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
230 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
231 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
232 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
234 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
235 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
236 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
237 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
238 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
239 libraries into non-free programs.
241 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
242 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
243 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
244 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
245 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
246 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
249 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
250 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
251 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
252 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
253 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
254 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
255 special circumstances.
257 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
258 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
259 becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
260 be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
261 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
262 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
263 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
265 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
266 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
267 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
268 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
269 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
272 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
273 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
274 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
275 that program using a modified version of the Library.
277 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
278 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
279 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
280 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
281 be combined with the library in order to run.
283 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
284 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
286 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
287 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
288 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
289 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
290 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
292 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
293 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
294 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
296 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
297 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
298 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
299 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
300 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
301 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
302 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
304 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
305 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
306 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
307 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
308 compilation and installation of the library.
310 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
311 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
312 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
313 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
314 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
315 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
316 and what the program that uses the Library does.
318 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
319 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
320 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
321 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
322 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
323 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
326 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
327 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
330 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
331 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
332 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
333 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
335 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
337 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
338 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
340 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
341 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
343 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
344 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
345 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
346 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
347 in the event an application does not supply such function or
348 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
349 its purpose remains meaningful.
351 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
352 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
353 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
354 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
355 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
356 root function must still compute square roots.)
358 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
359 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
360 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
361 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
362 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
363 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
364 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
365 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
366 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
369 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
370 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
371 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
372 collective works based on the Library.
374 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
375 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
376 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
377 the scope of this License.
379 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
380 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
381 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
382 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
383 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
384 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
385 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
388 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
389 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
390 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
392 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
393 the Library into a program that is not a library.
395 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
396 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
397 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
398 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
399 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
400 medium customarily used for software interchange.
402 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
403 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
404 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
405 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
406 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
408 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
409 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
410 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
411 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
412 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
414 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
415 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
416 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
417 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
418 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
420 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
421 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
422 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
423 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
424 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
425 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
427 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
428 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
429 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
430 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
431 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
432 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
434 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
435 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
436 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
437 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
439 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
440 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
441 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
442 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
443 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
444 engineering for debugging such modifications.
446 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
447 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
448 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
449 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
450 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
451 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
454 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
455 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
456 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
457 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
458 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
459 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
460 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
461 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
462 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
463 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
464 to use the modified definitions.)
466 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
467 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
468 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
469 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
470 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
471 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
472 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
474 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least
475 three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
476 Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
477 performing this distribution.
479 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
480 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
481 specified materials from the same place.
483 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
484 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
486 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
487 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
488 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
489 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
490 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
491 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
492 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
495 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
496 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
497 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
498 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
501 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
502 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
503 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
504 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
505 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
506 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
508 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
509 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
510 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
513 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
514 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
515 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
517 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
518 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
519 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
520 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
521 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
522 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
523 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
525 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
526 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
527 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
528 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
529 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
530 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
531 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
532 the Library or works based on it.
534 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
535 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
536 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
537 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
538 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
539 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
542 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
543 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
544 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
545 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
546 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
547 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
548 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
549 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
550 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
551 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
552 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
553 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
555 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
556 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
557 apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
560 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
561 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
562 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
563 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
564 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
565 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
566 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
567 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
568 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
571 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
572 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
574 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
575 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
576 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License
577 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
578 countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
579 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
580 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
582 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
583 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
584 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
585 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
587 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
588 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
589 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
590 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
591 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
592 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
593 the Free Software Foundation.
595 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
596 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
597 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
598 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
599 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
600 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
601 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
602 and reuse of software generally.
606 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
607 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
608 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
609 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
610 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
611 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
612 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
613 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
614 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
616 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
617 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
618 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
619 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
620 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
621 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
622 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
623 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
624 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
627 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
629 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
631 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
632 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
633 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
634 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms
635 of the ordinary General Public License).
637 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
638 It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
639 effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
640 have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
644 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
645 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
647 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
648 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
649 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
650 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
652 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
653 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
654 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
655 Lesser General Public License for more details.
657 You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
658 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
659 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
661 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
663 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
664 your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library,
665 if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

678 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
679 Version 3, 29 June 2007
681 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
682 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
683 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
687 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
688 software and other kinds of works.
690 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
691 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
692 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
693 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
694 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
695 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
696 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
699 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
700 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
701 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
702 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
703 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
704 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
706 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
707 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
708 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
709 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
711 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
712 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
713 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
714 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
717 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
718 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
719 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
721 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
722 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
723 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
724 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
725 authors of previous versions.
727 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
728 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
729 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
730 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
731 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
732 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
733 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
734 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
735 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
736 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
738 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
739 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
740 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
741 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
742 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
743 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
745 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
752 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
754 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
755 works, such as semiconductor masks.
757 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
758 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
759 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
761 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
762 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
763 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
764 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
766 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
769 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
770 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
771 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
772 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
773 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
774 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
776 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
777 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
778 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
780 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
781 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
782 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
783 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
784 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
785 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
786 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
787 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
791 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
792 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
795 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
796 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
797 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
798 is widely used among developers working in that language.
800 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
801 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
802 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
803 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
804 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
805 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
806 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
807 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
808 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
809 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
811 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
812 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
813 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
814 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
815 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
816 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
817 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
818 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
819 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
820 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
821 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
822 subprograms and other parts of the work.
824 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
825 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
828 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
831 2. Basic Permissions.
833 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
834 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
835 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
836 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
837 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
838 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
839 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
841 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
842 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
843 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
844 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
845 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
846 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
847 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
848 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
849 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
850 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
852 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
853 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
854 makes it unnecessary.
856 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
858 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
859 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
860 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
861 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
864 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
865 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
866 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
867 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
868 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
869 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
870 technological measures.
872 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
874 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
875 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
876 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
877 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
878 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
879 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
880 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
882 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
883 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
885 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
887 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
888 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
889 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
891 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
892 it, and giving a relevant date.
894 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
895 released under this License and any conditions added under section
896 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
897 "keep intact all notices".
899 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
900 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
901 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
902 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
903 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
904 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
905 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
907 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
908 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
909 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
910 work need not make them do so.
912 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
913 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
914 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
915 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
916 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
917 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
918 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
919 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
920 parts of the aggregate.
922 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
924 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
925 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
926 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
927 in one of these ways:
929 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
930 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
931 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
932 customarily used for software interchange.
934 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
935 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
936 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
937 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
938 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
939 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
940 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
941 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
942 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
943 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
944 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
946 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
947 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
948 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
949 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
952 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
953 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
954 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
955 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
956 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
957 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
958 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
959 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
960 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
961 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
962 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
963 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
965 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
966 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
967 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
968 charge under subsection 6d.
970 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
971 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
972 included in conveying the object code work.
974 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
975 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
976 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
977 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
978 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
979 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
980 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
981 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
982 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
983 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
984 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
985 the only significant mode of use of the product.
987 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
988 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
989 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
990 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
991 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
992 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
993 modification has been made.
995 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
996 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
997 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
998 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
999 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
1000 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
1001 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
1002 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
1003 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
1004 been installed in ROM).
1006 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
1007 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
1008 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
1009 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
1010 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
1011 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
1012 protocols for communication across the network.
1014 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
1015 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
1016 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
1017 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
1018 unpacking, reading or copying.
1020 7. Additional Terms.
1022 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
1023 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
1024 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
1025 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
1026 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
1027 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
1028 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
1029 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
1031 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
1032 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
1033 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
1034 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
1035 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
1036 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
1038 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
1039 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
1040 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
1042 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
1043 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
1045 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
1046 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
1047 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
1049 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
1050 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
1051 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
1053 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
1054 authors of the material; or
1056 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
1057 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
1059 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
1060 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
1061 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
1062 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
1063 those licensors and authors.
1065 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
1066 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
1067 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
1068 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
1069 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
1070 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
1071 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
1072 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
1073 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
1075 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
1076 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
1077 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
1078 where to find the applicable terms.
1080 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
1081 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
1082 the above requirements apply either way.
1086 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
1087 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
1088 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
1089 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
1090 paragraph of section 11).
1092 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
1093 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
1094 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
1095 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
1096 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
1097 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
1099 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
1100 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
1101 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
1102 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
1103 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
1104 your receipt of the notice.
1106 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
1107 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
1108 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
1109 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
1110 material under section 10.
1112 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
1114 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
1115 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
1116 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
1117 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
1118 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
1119 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
1120 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
1121 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
1123 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
1125 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
1126 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
1127 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
1128 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
1130 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
1131 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
1132 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
1133 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
1134 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
1135 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
1136 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
1137 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
1138 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
1140 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
1141 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
1142 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
1143 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
1144 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
1145 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
1146 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
1150 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
1151 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
1152 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
1154 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
1155 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
1156 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
1157 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
1158 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
1159 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
1160 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
1161 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
1164 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
1165 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
1166 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
1167 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
1169 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
1170 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
1171 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
1172 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
1173 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
1174 patent against the party.
1176 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
1177 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
1178 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
1179 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
1180 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
1181 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
1182 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
1183 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
1184 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
1185 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
1186 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
1187 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
1188 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
1190 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
1191 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
1192 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
1193 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
1194 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
1195 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
1196 work and works based on it.
1198 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
1199 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
1200 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
1201 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
1202 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
1203 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
1204 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
1205 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
1206 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
1207 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
1208 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
1209 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
1210 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
1211 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
1213 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
1214 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
1215 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
1217 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
1219 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
1220 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
1221 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
1222 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
1223 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
1224 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
1225 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
1226 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
1227 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
1229 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
1231 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
1232 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
1233 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
1234 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
1235 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
1236 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
1237 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
1238 combination as such.
1240 14. Revised Versions of this License.
1242 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
1243 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
1244 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
1245 address new problems or concerns.
1247 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
1248 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
1249 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
1250 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
1251 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
1252 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
1253 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
1254 by the Free Software Foundation.
1256 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
1257 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
1258 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
1259 to choose that version for the Program.
1261 Later license versions may give you additional or different
1262 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
1263 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
1266 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
1268 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
1269 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
1270 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
1271 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
1272 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
1273 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
1274 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
1275 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
1277 16. Limitation of Liability.
1279 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
1280 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
1281 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
1282 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
1283 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
1284 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
1285 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
1286 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
1289 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
1291 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
1292 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
1293 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
1294 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
1295 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
1296 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
1298 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1300 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1302 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
1303 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
1304 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
1306 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
1307 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
1308 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
1309 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1311 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
1312 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
1314 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
1315 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
1316 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
1317 (at your option) any later version.
1319 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
1320 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
1321 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
1322 GNU General Public License for more details.
1324 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
1325 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
1327 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
1329 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
1330 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
1332 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
1333 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
1334 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
1335 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
1337 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
1338 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
1339 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
1341 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
1342 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
1343 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
1344 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
1346 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
1347 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
1348 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
1349 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
1350 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
1351 <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
