     1 # GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

     3 Version 3, 29 June 2007

     5 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

     8 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
     9 license document, but changing it is not allowed.
    10 
    11 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the
    12 terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License,
    13 supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
    14 
    15 ## 0. Additional Definitions.
    16 
    17 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
    18 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the
    19 GNU General Public License.
    20 
    21 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other
    22 than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
    23 
    24 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
    25 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
    26 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
    27 of using an interface provided by the Library.
    28 
    29 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
    30 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
    31 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
    32 Version".
    33 
    34 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
    35 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
    36 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
    37 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
    38 
    39 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
    40 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
    41 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
    42 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
    43 
    44 ## 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
    45 
    46 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
    47 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
    48 
    49 ## 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
    50 
    51 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
    52 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
    53 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
    54 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
    55 version:
    56 
    57 -   a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort
    58     to ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
    59     function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
    60     whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
    61 -   b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
    62     this License applicable to that copy.
    63 
    64 ## 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
    65 
    66 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a
    67 header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
    68 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
    69 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
    70 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
    71 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
    72 
    73 -   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that
    74     the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
    75     covered by this License.
    76 -   b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this
    77     license document.
    78 
    79 ## 4. Combined Works.
    80 
    81 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken
    82 together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of
    83 the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for
    84 debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:
    85 
    86 -   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
    87     the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
    88     covered by this License.
    89 -   b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this
    90     license document.
    91 -   c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
    92     execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
    93     these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
    94     copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
    95 -   d) Do one of the following:
    96    -   0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of
    97           this License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
    98           suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
    99           recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
   100           the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
   101           manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
   102           Corresponding Source.
   103    -   1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with
   104           the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run
   105           time a copy of the Library already present on the user's
   106           computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified
   107           version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the
   108           Linked Version.
   109 -   e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would
   110     otherwise be required to provide such information under section 6
   111     of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
   112     necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
   113     Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application
   114     with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option
   115     4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal
   116     Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you
   117     use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in
   118     the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
   119     Corresponding Source.)
   120 
   121 ## 5. Combined Libraries.
   122 
   123 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library
   124 side by side in a single library together with other library
   125 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
   126 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
   127 choice, if you do both of the following:
   128 
   129 -   a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
   130     based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
   131     facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.
   132 -   b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
   133     is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
   134     accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
   135 
   136 ## 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
   137 
   138 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
   139 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
   140 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
   141 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
   142 
   143 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
   144 as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the
   145 GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" applies to
   146 it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either
   147 of that published version or of any later version published by the
   148 Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not
   149 specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you
   150 may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever
   151 published by the Free Software Foundation.
   152 
   153 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
   154 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
   155 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
   156 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
   157 Library.
