36c9828f | 113 | |
15b6757b FM |
114 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
115 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
116 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | |
117 | free software -- to make sure the software is free for all its users. | |
36c9828f | 118 | |
15b6757b FM |
119 | This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some |
120 | specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any | |
121 | other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for | |
122 | your libraries, too. | |
36c9828f | 123 | |
15b6757b FM |
124 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
125 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
126 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
127 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | |
128 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | |
129 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | |
36c9828f | 130 | |
15b6757b FM |
131 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
132 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | |
133 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if | |
134 | you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. | |
36c9828f | 135 | |
15b6757b FM |
136 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
137 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | |
138 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | |
139 | code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide | |
140 | complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them | |
141 | with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling | |
142 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | |
36c9828f | 143 | |
15b6757b FM |
144 | Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright |
145 | the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal | |
146 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | |
36c9828f | 147 | |
15b6757b FM |
148 | Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain |
149 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | |
150 | library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we | |
151 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original | |
152 | version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on | |
153 | the original authors' reputations. | |
36c9828f | 154 | |
15b6757b FM |
155 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
156 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free | |
157 | software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect | |
158 | transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, | |
159 | we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's | |
160 | free use or not licensed at all. | |
36c9828f | 161 | |
15b6757b FM |
162 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary |
163 | GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This | |
164 | license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain | |
165 | designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary | |
166 | one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is | |
167 | the same as in the ordinary license. | |
36c9828f | 168 | |
15b6757b FM |
169 | The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that |
170 | they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a | |
171 | program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without | |
172 | changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is | |
173 | analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in | |
174 | a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a | |
175 | derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License | |
176 | treats it as such. | |
36c9828f | 177 | |
15b6757b FM |
178 | Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General |
179 | Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software | |
180 | sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We | |
181 | concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. | |
36c9828f | 182 | |
15b6757b FM |
183 | However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the |
184 | users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the | |
185 | libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to | |
186 | permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while | |
187 | preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free | |
188 | libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve | |
189 | this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards | |
190 | changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this | |
191 | will lead to faster development of free libraries. | |
36c9828f | 192 | |
15b6757b FM |
193 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
194 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | |
195 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | |
196 | former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only | |
197 | works together with the library. | |
36c9828f | 198 | |
15b6757b FM |
199 | Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary |
200 | General Public License rather than by this special one. | |

205 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |
206 | </center> | |
36c9828f | 207 | |
15b6757b FM |
208 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which |
209 | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized | |
210 | party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library | |
211 | General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is | |
212 | addressed as "you". | |
36c9828f | 213 | |
15b6757b FM |
214 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
215 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | |
216 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | |
36c9828f | 217 | |
15b6757b FM |
218 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
219 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | |
220 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | |
221 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | |
222 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | |
223 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | |
224 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | |
36c9828f | 225 | |
15b6757b FM |
226 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
227 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | |
228 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | |
229 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation | |
230 | and installation of the library. | |
36c9828f | 231 | |
15b6757b FM |
232 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
233 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | |
234 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | |
235 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | |
236 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | |
237 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | |
238 | and what the program that uses the Library does. | |
36c9828f | 239 | |
15b6757b FM |
240 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
241 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | |
242 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | |
243 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | |
244 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | |
245 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | |
246 | Library. | |
36c9828f | 247 | |
15b6757b FM |
248 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
249 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | |
250 | fee. | |
36c9828f | 251 | |
15b6757b FM |
252 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
253 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | |
254 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | |
255 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
36c9828f | 256 | |
15b6757b | 257 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
36c9828f | 258 | |
15b6757b FM |
259 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
260 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | |
36c9828f | 261 | |
15b6757b FM |
262 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
263 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | |
36c9828f | 264 | |
15b6757b FM |
265 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
266 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | |
267 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | |
268 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | |
269 | in the event an application does not supply such function or | |
270 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | |
271 | its purpose remains meaningful. | |
36c9828f | 272 | |
15b6757b FM |
273 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
274 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | |
275 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | |
276 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must | |
277 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | |
36c9828f | 278 | root function must still compute square roots.) |
36c9828f | 279 | |
15b6757b FM |
280 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
281 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | |
282 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
283 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
284 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
285 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
286 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
287 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | |
288 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | |
289 | it. | |
36c9828f | 290 | |
15b6757b FM |
291 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
292 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
293 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
294 | collective works based on the Library. | |
36c9828f | 295 | |
15b6757b FM |
296 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
297 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | |
298 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
299 | the scope of this License. | |
36c9828f | 300 | |
15b6757b FM |
301 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
302 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | |
303 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | |
304 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | |
305 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | |
306 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | |
307 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | |
308 | these notices. | |
36c9828f | 309 | |
15b6757b FM |
310 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
311 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | |
312 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | |
36c9828f | 313 | |
15b6757b FM |
314 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
315 | the Library into a program that is not a library. | |
36c9828f | 316 | |
15b6757b FM |
317 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
318 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | |
319 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | |
320 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | |
321 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | |
322 | medium customarily used for software interchange. | |
36c9828f | 323 | |
15b6757b FM |
324 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
325 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | |
326 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | |
327 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | |
328 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
36c9828f | 329 | |
15b6757b FM |
330 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
331 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | |
332 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | |
333 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | |
334 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | |
36c9828f | 335 | |
15b6757b FM |
336 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
337 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | |
338 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | |
339 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | |
340 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | |
36c9828f | 341 | |
15b6757b FM |
342 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
343 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | |
344 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | |
345 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | |
346 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | |
347 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | |
36c9828f | 348 | |
15b6757b FM |
349 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
350 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | |
351 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | |
352 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | |
353 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | |
354 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) | |
36c9828f | 355 | |
15b6757b FM |
356 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
357 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | |
358 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | |
359 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | |
36c9828f | 360 | |
15b6757b FM |
361 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or |
362 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | |
363 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | |
364 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | |
365 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | |
366 | engineering for debugging such modifications. | |
36c9828f | 367 | |
15b6757b FM |
368 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
369 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | |
370 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | |
371 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | |
372 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | |
373 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | |
374 | of these things: | |
36c9828f | 375 | |

376 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
377 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | |
378 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | |
379 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | |
380 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | |
381 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | |
382 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | |
383 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | |
384 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | |
385 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | |
386 | to use the modified definitions.) | |
36c9828f | 387 | |
15b6757b FM |
388 | b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
389 | least three years, to give the same user the materials | |
390 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more | |
391 | than the cost of performing this distribution. | |
36c9828f | 392 | |
15b6757b FM |
393 | c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
394 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | |
395 | specified materials from the same place. | |
36c9828f | 396 | |
15b6757b FM |
397 | d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
398 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | |
36c9828f | 399 | |
15b6757b FM |
400 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
401 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | |
402 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | |
403 | the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally | |
404 | distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | |
405 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | |
406 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | |
407 | the executable. | |
36c9828f | 408 | |
15b6757b FM |
409 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
410 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | |
411 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | |
412 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | |
413 | distribute. | |
36c9828f | 414 | |
15b6757b FM |
415 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
416 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | |
417 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | |
418 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | |
419 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | |
420 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | |
36c9828f | 421 | |
15b6757b FM |
422 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
423 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | |
424 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | |
425 | Sections above. | |
36c9828f | 426 | |
15b6757b FM |
427 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
428 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | |
429 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | |
36c9828f | 430 | |
15b6757b FM |
431 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
432 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | |
433 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | |
434 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | |
435 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | |
436 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | |
437 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | |
36c9828f | 438 | |
15b6757b FM |
439 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
440 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | |
441 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | |
442 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | |
443 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | |
444 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | |
445 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | |
446 | the Library or works based on it. | |
36c9828f | 447 | |
15b6757b FM |
448 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
449 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
450 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | |
451 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
452 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
453 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | |
454 | this License. | |
36c9828f | 455 | |
15b6757b FM |
456 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
457 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
458 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
459 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
460 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
461 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
462 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
463 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | |
464 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | |
465 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
466 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
467 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | |
36c9828f | 468 | |
15b6757b FM |
469 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
470 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, | |
471 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | |
36c9828f | 472 | |
15b6757b FM |
473 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
474 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | |
475 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | |
476 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is | |
477 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | |
478 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | |
479 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | |
480 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | |
481 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
482 | impose that choice. | |
36c9828f | 483 | |
15b6757b FM |
484 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
485 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
36c9828f | 486 | |
15b6757b FM |
487 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
488 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
489 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add | |
490 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, | |
491 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | |
492 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if | |
493 | written in the body of this License. | |
36c9828f | 494 | |
15b6757b FM |
495 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
496 | versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. | |
497 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | |
498 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
36c9828f | 499 | |
15b6757b FM |
500 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
501 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | |
502 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | |
503 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | |
504 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | |
505 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | |
506 | the Free Software Foundation. | |
36c9828f | 507 | |
15b6757b FM |
508 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
509 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, | |
510 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | |
511 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | |
512 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | |
513 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status | |
514 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | |
515 | and reuse of software generally. | |

521 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
522 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | |
523 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR | |
524 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | |
525 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | |
526 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
527 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | |
528 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME | |
529 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
36c9828f | 530 | |
15b6757b FM |
531 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
532 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | |
533 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU | |
534 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | |
535 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE | |
536 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | |
537 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A | |
538 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF | |
539 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH | |
540 | DAMAGES. | |

36c9828f | 548 | |
15b6757b FM |
549 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
550 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | |
551 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | |
552 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the | |
553 | ordinary General Public License). | |
36c9828f | 554 | |
15b6757b FM |
555 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is |
556 | safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
557 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the | |
558 | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |

574 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public |

582 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
583 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | |
584 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | |
