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