| 1 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
| 2 | Version 2.1, February 1999 | ||
| 3 | |||
| 4 | Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | ||
| 5 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
| 6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
| 7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts | ||
| 10 | as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence | ||
| 11 | the version number 2.1.] | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | Preamble | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | ||
| 16 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | ||
| 17 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | ||
| 18 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some | ||
| 21 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the | ||
| 22 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You | ||
| 23 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether | ||
| 24 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better | ||
| 25 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, | ||
| 28 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that | ||
| 29 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge | ||
| 30 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get | ||
| 31 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of | ||
| 32 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do | ||
| 33 | these things. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | ||
| 36 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these | ||
| 37 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for | ||
| 38 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. | ||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis | ||
| 41 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | ||
| 42 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | ||
| 43 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide | ||
| 44 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them | ||
| 45 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling | ||
| 46 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the | ||
| 49 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal | ||
| 50 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that | ||
| 53 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is | ||
| 54 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know | ||
| 55 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original | ||
| 56 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be | ||
| 57 | introduced by others. | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of | ||
| 60 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot | ||
| 61 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a | ||
| 62 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that | ||
| 63 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be | ||
| 64 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the | ||
| 67 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser | ||
| 68 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and | ||
| 69 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use | ||
| 70 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those | ||
| 71 | libraries into non-free programs. | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using | ||
| 74 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a | ||
| 75 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary | ||
| 76 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the | ||
| 77 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General | ||
| 78 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with | ||
| 79 | the library. | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it | ||
| 82 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General | ||
| 83 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less | ||
| 84 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages | ||
| 85 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many | ||
| 86 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain | ||
| 87 | special circumstances. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to | ||
| 90 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes | ||
| 91 | a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be | ||
| 92 | allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free | ||
| 93 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this | ||
| 94 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free | ||
| 95 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. | ||
| 96 | |||
| 97 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free | ||
| 98 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of | ||
| 99 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in | ||
| 100 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU | ||
| 101 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating | ||
| 102 | system. | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the | ||
| 105 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is | ||
| 106 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run | ||
| 107 | that program using a modified version of the Library. | ||
| 108 | |||
| 109 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
| 110 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | ||
| 111 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | ||
| 112 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must | ||
| 113 | be combined with the library in order to run. | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
| 116 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
| 117 | |||
| 118 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other | ||
| 119 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or | ||
| 120 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of | ||
| 121 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). | ||
| 122 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | ||
| 125 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | ||
| 126 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | ||
| 129 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | ||
| 130 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | ||
| 131 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | ||
| 132 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | ||
| 133 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | ||
| 134 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
| 137 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | ||
| 138 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | ||
| 139 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation | ||
| 140 | and installation of the library. | ||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
| 143 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | ||
| 144 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | ||
| 145 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | ||
| 146 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | ||
| 147 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | ||
| 148 | and what the program that uses the Library does. | ||
| 149 | |||
| 150 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's | ||
| 151 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | ||
| 152 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | ||
| 153 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | ||
| 154 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | ||
| 155 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | ||
| 156 | Library. | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | ||
| 159 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | ||
| 160 | fee. | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion | ||
| 163 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | ||
| 164 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | ||
| 165 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | ||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices | ||
| 170 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
| 171 | |||
| 172 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no | ||
| 173 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a | ||
| 176 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | ||
| 177 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | ||
| 178 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | ||
| 179 | in the event an application does not supply such function or | ||
| 180 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | ||
| 181 | its purpose remains meaningful. | ||
| 182 | |||
| 183 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has | ||
| 184 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | ||
| 185 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | ||
| 186 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must | ||
| 187 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | ||
| 188 | root function must still compute square roots.) | ||
| 189 | |||
| 190 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | ||
| 191 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | ||
| 192 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | ||
| 193 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | ||
| 194 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | ||
| 195 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | ||
| 196 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | ||
| 197 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | ||
| 198 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | ||
| 199 | it. | ||
| 200 | |||
| 201 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | ||
| 202 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
| 203 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
| 204 | collective works based on the Library. | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library | ||
| 207 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | ||
| 208 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | ||
| 209 | the scope of this License. | ||
| 210 | |||
| 211 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | ||
| 212 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | ||
| 213 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | ||
| 214 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | ||
| 215 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | ||
| 216 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | ||
| 217 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | ||
| 218 | these notices. | ||
| 219 | |||
| 220 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for | ||
| 221 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | ||
| 222 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | ||
| 223 | |||
| 224 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of | ||
| 225 | the Library into a program that is not a library. | ||
| 226 | |||
| 227 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | ||
| 228 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | ||
| 229 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | ||
| 230 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | ||
| 231 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | ||
| 232 | medium customarily used for software interchange. | ||
| 233 | |||
| 234 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy | ||
| 235 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | ||
| 236 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | ||
| 237 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | ||
| 238 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||
| 239 | |||
| 240 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | ||
| 241 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | ||
| 242 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | ||
| 243 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | ||
| 244 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | ||
| 245 | |||
| 246 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library | ||
| 247 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | ||
| 248 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | ||
| 249 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | ||
| 250 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | ||
| 251 | |||
| 252 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file | ||
| 253 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | ||
| 254 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | ||
| 255 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | ||
| 256 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | ||
| 257 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | ||
| 258 | |||
| 259 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | ||
| 260 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | ||
| 261 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | ||
| 262 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | ||
| 263 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | ||
| 264 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) | ||
| 265 | |||
| 266 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | ||
| 267 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | ||
| 268 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | ||
| 269 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | ||
| 270 | |||
| 271 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or | ||
| 272 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | ||
| 273 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | ||
| 274 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | ||
| 275 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | ||
| 276 | engineering for debugging such modifications. | ||
| 277 | |||
| 278 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the | ||
| 279 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | ||
| 280 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | ||
| 281 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | ||
| 282 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | ||
| 283 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | ||
| 284 | of these things: | ||
| 285 | |||
| 286 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding | ||
| 287 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | ||
| 288 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | ||
| 289 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | ||
| 290 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | ||
| 291 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | ||
| 292 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | ||
| 293 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | ||
| 294 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | ||
| 295 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | ||
| 296 | to use the modified definitions.) | ||
| 297 | |||
| 298 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | ||
| 299 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a | ||
| 300 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, | ||
| 301 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) | ||
| 302 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if | ||
| 303 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is | ||
| 304 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. | ||
| 305 | |||
| 306 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at | ||
| 307 | least three years, to give the same user the materials | ||
| 308 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more | ||
| 309 | than the cost of performing this distribution. | ||
| 310 | |||
| 311 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy | ||
| 312 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | ||
| 313 | specified materials from the same place. | ||
| 314 | |||
| 315 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these | ||
| 316 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | ||
| 317 | |||
| 318 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the | ||
| 319 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | ||
| 320 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | ||
| 321 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is | ||
| 322 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | ||
| 323 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | ||
| 324 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | ||
| 325 | the executable. | ||
| 326 | |||
| 327 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | ||
| 328 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | ||
| 329 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | ||
| 330 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | ||
| 331 | distribute. | ||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | ||
| 334 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | ||
| 335 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | ||
| 336 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | ||
| 337 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | ||
| 338 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | ||
| 339 | |||
| 340 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work | ||
| 341 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | ||
| 342 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | ||
| 343 | Sections above. | ||
| 344 | |||
| 345 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact | ||
| 346 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | ||
| 347 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | ||
| 348 | |||
| 349 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute | ||
| 350 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | ||
| 351 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | ||
| 352 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | ||
| 353 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | ||
| 354 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | ||
| 355 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | ||
| 356 | |||
| 357 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | ||
| 358 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | ||
| 359 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | ||
| 360 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | ||
| 361 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | ||
| 362 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | ||
| 363 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||
| 364 | the Library or works based on it. | ||
| 365 | |||
| 366 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the | ||
| 367 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
| 368 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | ||
| 369 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | ||
| 370 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | ||
| 371 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with | ||
| 372 | this License. | ||
| 373 | |||
| 374 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
| 375 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
| 376 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
| 377 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
| 378 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | ||
| 379 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
| 380 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | ||
| 381 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | ||
| 382 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | ||
| 383 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | ||
| 384 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | ||
| 385 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | ||
| 386 | |||
| 387 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any | ||
| 388 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, | ||
| 389 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | ||
| 390 | |||
| 391 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
| 392 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
| 393 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
| 394 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is | ||
| 395 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | ||
| 396 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | ||
| 397 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||
| 398 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | ||
| 399 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | ||
| 400 | impose that choice. | ||
| 401 | |||
| 402 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
| 403 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
| 404 | |||
| 405 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | ||
| 406 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
| 407 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add | ||
| 408 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, | ||
| 409 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | ||
| 410 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if | ||
| 411 | written in the body of this License. | ||
| 412 | |||
| 413 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new | ||
| 414 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. | ||
| 415 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | ||
| 416 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
| 417 | |||
| 418 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library | ||
| 419 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | ||
| 420 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | ||
| 421 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | ||
| 422 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | ||
| 423 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | ||
| 424 | the Free Software Foundation. | ||
| 425 | |||
| 426 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free | ||
| 427 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, | ||
| 428 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | ||
| 429 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | ||
| 430 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | ||
| 431 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status | ||
| 432 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | ||
| 433 | and reuse of software generally. | ||
| 434 | |||
| 435 | NO WARRANTY | ||
| 436 | |||
| 437 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO | ||
| 438 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | ||
| 439 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR | ||
| 440 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | ||
| 441 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | ||
| 442 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | ||
| 443 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | ||
| 444 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME | ||
| 445 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
| 446 | |||
| 447 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN | ||
| 448 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | ||
| 449 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU | ||
| 450 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | ||
| 451 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE | ||
| 452 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | ||
| 453 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A | ||
| 454 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF | ||
| 455 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH | ||
| 456 | DAMAGES. | ||
| 457 | |||
| 458 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
| 459 | |||
| 460 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | ||
| 461 | |||
| 462 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
| 463 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | ||
| 464 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | ||
| 465 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the | ||
| 466 | ordinary General Public License). | ||
| 467 | |||
| 468 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is | ||
| 469 | safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
| 470 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the | ||
| 471 | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
| 472 | |||
| 473 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | ||
| 474 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | ||
| 475 | |||
| 476 | This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | ||
| 477 | modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public | ||
| 478 | License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | ||
| 479 | version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | ||
| 480 | |||
| 481 | This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | ||
| 482 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||
| 483 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | ||
| 484 | Lesser General Public License for more details. | ||
| 485 | |||
| 486 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public | ||
| 487 | License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | ||
| 488 | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
| 489 | |||
| 490 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
| 491 | |||
| 492 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | ||
| 493 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | ||
| 494 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | ||
| 495 | |||
| 496 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | ||
| 497 | library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. | ||
