158of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
159
160[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is
161numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
162
163\wxheading{Preamble}
164
165The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
166freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
167Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
168free software -- to make sure the software is free for all its users.
169
170This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
171specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
172other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
173your libraries, too.
174
175When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
176price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
177have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
178this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
179if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
180in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
181
182To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
183anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
184These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
185you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
186
187For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
188or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
189you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
190code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
191complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
192with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
193it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
194
195Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
196the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
197permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
198
199Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
200that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
201library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
202want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
203version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
204the original authors' reputations.
205
206Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
207patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
208software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
209transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
210we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
211free use or not licensed at all.
212
213Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
214GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
215license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
216designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
217one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
218the same as in the ordinary license.
219
220The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
221they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
222program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
223changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
224analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
225a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
226derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
227treats it as such.
228
229Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
230Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
231sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
232concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
233
234However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
235users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
236libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
237permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
238preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
239libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
240this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
241changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
242will lead to faster development of free libraries.
243
244The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
245modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
246"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
247former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
248works together with the library.
249
250Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
251General Public License rather than by this special one.
252
253\begin{center}
254 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE\\
255 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
256\end{center}
257
2580. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
259contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
260party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
261General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
262addressed as "you".
263
264A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
265prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
266(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
267
268The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
269which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
270Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
271copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
272portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
273straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
274included without limitation in the term "modification".)
275
276"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
277making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
278all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
279interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
280and installation of the library.
281
282Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
283covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
284running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
285such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
286on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
287writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
288and what the program that uses the Library does.
289
2901. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
291complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
292you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
293appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
294all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
295warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
296Library.
297
298You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
299and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
300fee.
301
3022. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
303of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
304distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
305above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
306
307\begin{indented}{1cm}
308a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
309
310b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
311stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
312
313c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
314charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
315
316d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
317table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
318the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
319is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
320in the event an application does not supply such function or
321table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
322its purpose remains meaningful.
323
324(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
325a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
326application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
327application-supplied function or table used by this function must
328be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
329root function must still compute square roots.)
330\end{indented}
331
332These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
333identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
334and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
335themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
336sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
337distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
338on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
339this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
340entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
341it.
342
343Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
344your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
345exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
346collective works based on the Library.
347
348In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
349with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
350a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
351the scope of this License.
352
3533. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
354License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
355this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
356that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
357instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
358ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
359that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
360these notices.
361
362Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
363that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
364subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
365
366This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
367the Library into a program that is not a library.
368
3694. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
370derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
371under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
372it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
373must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
374medium customarily used for software interchange.
375
376If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
377from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
378source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
379distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
380compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
381
3825. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
383Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
384linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
385work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
386therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
387
388However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
389creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
390contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
391library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
392Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
393
394When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
395that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
396derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
397Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
398linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
399threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
400
401If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
402structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
403functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
404file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
405work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
406Library will still fall under Section 6.)
407
408Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
409distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
410Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
411whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
412
4136. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
414link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
415work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
416under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
417modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
418engineering for debugging such modifications.
419
420You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
421Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
422this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
423during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
424copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
425directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
426of these things:
427
428\begin{indented}{1cm}
429a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
430machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
431changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
432Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
433with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
434uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
435user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
436executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
437that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
438Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
439to use the modified definitions.)
440
441b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
442least three years, to give the same user the materials
443specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
444than the cost of performing this distribution.
445
446c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
447from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
448specified materials from the same place.
449
450d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
451materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
452\end{indented}
453
454For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
455Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
456reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
457the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
458distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
459components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
460which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
461the executable.
462
463It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
464restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
465accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
466use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
467distribute.
468
4697. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
470Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
471facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
472library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
473the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
474permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
475
476\begin{indented}{1cm}
477a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
478based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
479facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
480Sections above.
481
482b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
483that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
484where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
485\end{indented}
486
4878. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
488the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
489attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
490distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
491rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
492or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
493terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
494
4959. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
496signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
497distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
498prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
499modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
500Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
501all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
502the Library or works based on it.
503
50410. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
505Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
506original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
507subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
508restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
509You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
510this License.
511
51211. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
513infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
514conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
515otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
516excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
517distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
518License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
519may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
520license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
521all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
522the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
523refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
524
525If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
526particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
527and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
528
529It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
530patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
531such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
532integrity of the free software distribution system which is
533implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
534generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
535through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
536system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
537to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
538impose that choice.
539
540This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
541be a consequence of the rest of this License.
542
54312. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
544certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
545original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
546an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
547so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
548excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
549written in the body of this License.
550
55113. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
552versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
553Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
554but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
555
556Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
557specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
558"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
559conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
560the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
561license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
562the Free Software Foundation.
563
56414. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
565programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
566write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
567copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
568Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
569decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
570of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
571and reuse of software generally.

574NO WARRANTY

576
57715. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
578WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
579EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
580OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
581KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
582IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
583PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
584LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
585THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
586
58716. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
588WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
589AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
590FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
591CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
592LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
593RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
594FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
595SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
596DAMAGES.

603\wxheading{Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries}
604
605If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
606possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
607everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
608redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
609ordinary General Public License).
610
611To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
612safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
613convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
614"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

621This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
622modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
623License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
624version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
625
626This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
627but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
628MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
629Library General Public License for more details.
630
631You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public
632License along with this library; if not, write to the Free
633Software Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
634\end{verbatim}
635}
636
637Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
638
639You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
640school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
641necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
