257 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
258 Version 2, June 1991 |
|
259 |
|
260 Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
|
261 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|
262 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
263 |
|
264 [This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is |
|
265 numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] |
|
266 |
|
267 Preamble |
|
268 |
|
269 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
|
270 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
|
271 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
|
272 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
|
273 |
|
274 This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some |
|
275 specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any |
|
276 other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for |
|
277 your libraries, too. |
|
278 |
|
279 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
|
280 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
|
281 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
|
282 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
|
283 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
|
284 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
|
285 |
|
286 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
|
287 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
|
288 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if |
|
289 you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. |
|
290 |
|
291 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
|
292 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
|
293 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
|
294 code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide |
|
295 complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them |
|
296 with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling |
|
297 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
|
298 |
|
299 Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright |
|
300 the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal |
|
301 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
|
302 |
|
303 Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain |
|
304 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
|
305 library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
|
306 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original |
|
307 version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on |
|
308 the original authors' reputations. |
|
309 |
|
310 |
|
311 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
|
312 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free |
|
313 software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect |
|
314 transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, |
|
315 we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's |
|
316 free use or not licensed at all. |
|
317 |
|
318 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary |
|
319 GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This |
|
320 license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain |
|
321 designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary |
|
322 one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is |
|
323 the same as in the ordinary license. |
|
324 |
|
325 The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that |
|
326 they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a |
|
327 program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without |
|
328 changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is |
|
329 analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in |
|
330 a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a |
|
331 derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License |
|
332 treats it as such. |
|
333 |
|
334 Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General |
|
335 Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software |
|
336 sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We |
|
337 concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. |
|
338 |
|
339 However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the |
|
340 users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the |
|
341 libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to |
|
342 permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while |
|
343 preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free |
|
344 libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve |
|
345 this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards |
|
346 changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this |
|
347 will lead to faster development of free libraries. |
|
348 |
|
349 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
|
350 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
|
351 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
|
352 former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only |
|
353 works together with the library. |
|
354 |
|
355 Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary |
|
356 General Public License rather than by this special one. |
|
357 |
|
358 |
|
359 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
360 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
|
361 |
|
362 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which |
|
363 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized |
|
364 party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library |
|
365 General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is |
|
366 addressed as "you". |
|
367 |
|
368 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
|
369 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
|
370 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
|
371 |
|
372 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
|
373 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
|
374 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
|
375 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
|
376 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
|
377 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
|
378 included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
|
379 |
|
380 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|
381 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
|
382 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
|
383 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
|
384 and installation of the library. |
|
385 |
|
386 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|
387 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|
388 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
|
389 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
|
390 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
|
391 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
|
392 and what the program that uses the Library does. |
|
393 |
|
394 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
|
395 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
|
396 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
|
397 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
|
398 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
|
399 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
|
400 Library. |
|
401 |
|
402 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
|
403 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
|
404 fee. |
|
405 |
|
406 |
|
407 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
|
408 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
|
409 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
|
410 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
411 |
|
412 a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
|
413 |
|
414 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
|
415 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
416 |
|
417 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
|
418 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
|
419 |
|
420 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
|
421 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
|
422 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
|
423 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
|
424 in the event an application does not supply such function or |
|
425 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
|
426 its purpose remains meaningful. |
|
427 |
|
428 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
|
429 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
|
430 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
|
431 application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
|
432 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
|
433 root function must still compute square roots.) |
|
434 |
|
435 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|
436 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
|
437 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|
438 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|
439 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|
440 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|
441 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|
442 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|
443 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
|
444 it. |
|
445 |
|
446 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|
447 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|
448 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|
449 collective works based on the Library. |
|
450 |
|
451 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
|
452 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
|
453 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|
454 the scope of this License. |
|
455 |
|
456 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
|
457 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
|
458 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
|
459 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
|
460 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
|
461 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
|
462 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
|
463 these notices. |
|
464 |
|
465 |
|
466 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
|
467 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
|
468 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
|
469 |
|
470 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
|
471 the Library into a program that is not a library. |
|
472 |
|
473 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
|
474 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
|
475 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
|
476 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
|
477 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
|
478 medium customarily used for software interchange. |
|
479 |
|
480 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
|
481 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
|
482 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
|
483 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
|
484 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
485 |
|
486 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
|
487 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
|
488 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
|
489 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
|
490 therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
|
491 |
|
492 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
|
493 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
|
494 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
|
495 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
|
496 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
|
497 |
|
498 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
|
499 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
|
500 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
|
501 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
|
502 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
|
503 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
|
504 |
|
505 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
|
506 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
|
507 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
|
508 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
|
509 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
|
510 Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
|
511 |
|
512 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
|
513 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
|
514 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
|
515 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
|
516 |
|
517 |
|
518 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or |
|
519 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
|
520 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
|
521 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
|
522 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
|
523 engineering for debugging such modifications. |
|
524 |
|
525 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
|
526 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
|
527 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
|
528 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
|
529 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
|
530 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
|
531 of these things: |
|
532 |
|
533 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
|
534 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
|
535 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
|
536 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
|
537 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
|
538 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
|
539 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
|
540 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
|
541 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
|
542 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
|
543 to use the modified definitions.) |
|
544 |
|
545 b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
|
546 least three years, to give the same user the materials |
|
547 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
|
548 than the cost of performing this distribution. |
|
549 |
|
550 c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
|
551 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
|
552 specified materials from the same place. |
|
553 |
|
554 d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
|
555 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
|
556 |
|
557 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
|
558 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
|
559 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
|
560 the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally |
|
561 distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
|
562 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
|
563 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
|
564 the executable. |
|
565 |
|
566 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
|
567 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
|
568 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
|
569 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
|
570 distribute. |
|
571 |
|
572 |
|
573 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
|
574 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
|
575 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
|
576 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
|
577 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
|
578 permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
|
579 |
|
580 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
|
581 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
|
582 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
|
583 Sections above. |
|
584 |
|
585 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
|
586 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
|
587 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
|
588 |
|
589 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
|
590 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
|
591 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
|
592 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
|
593 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
|
594 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
|
595 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
|
596 |
|
597 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|
598 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|
599 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
|
600 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|
601 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
|
602 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
|
603 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
604 the Library or works based on it. |
|
605 |
|
606 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
|
607 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
|
608 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
|
609 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
|
610 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|
611 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|
612 this License. |
|
613 |
|
614 |
|
615 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
616 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|
617 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
618 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|
619 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|
620 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|
621 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|
622 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
|
623 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
|
624 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|
625 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
626 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
|
627 |
|
628 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
|
629 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
|
630 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
|
631 |
|
632 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|
633 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|
634 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|
635 integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
|
636 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|
637 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|
638 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
639 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|
640 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|
641 impose that choice. |
|
642 |
|
643 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|
644 be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
645 |
|
646 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
|
647 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|
648 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
|
649 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
|
650 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
|
651 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
|
652 written in the body of this License. |
|
653 |
|
654 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
|
655 versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. |
|
656 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
|
657 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
|
658 |
|
659 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
|
660 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
|
661 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
|
662 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
|
663 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
|
664 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
|
665 the Free Software Foundation. |
|
666 |
|
667 |
|
668 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
|
669 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
|
670 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
|
671 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
|
672 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
|
673 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
|
674 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
|
675 and reuse of software generally. |
|
676 |
|
677 NO WARRANTY |
|
678 |
|
679 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
|
680 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
|
681 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
|
682 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
|
683 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
|
684 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
|
685 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
|
686 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
|
687 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
688 |
|
689 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
|
690 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
|
691 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
|
692 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
|
693 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
|
694 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
|
695 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
|
696 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |

698 DAMAGES. |

703 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries |
|
704 |
|
705 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
|
706 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that |
|
707 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting |
|
708 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the |
|
709 ordinary General Public License). |
|
710 |
|
711 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is |
|
712 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
|
713 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
|
714 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
715 |
|
716 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
|
717 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
718 |
|
719 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or |
|
720 modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public |
|
721 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either |
|
722 version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. |
|
723 |
|
724 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
|
725 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
|
726 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU |
|
727 Library General Public License for more details. |
|
728 |
|
729 You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public |
|
730 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free |
|
731 Software Foundation, Inc. |
|
732 |
|
733 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
|
734 |
|
735 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
|
736 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if |
|
737 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
|
738 |
|
739 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the |
|
740 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. |

747 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
748 Version 2, June 1991 |
|
749 |
|
750 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., |
|
751 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
|
752 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|
753 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
754 |
|
755 Preamble |
|
756 |
|
757 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
|
758 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
|
759 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
|
760 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
|
761 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
|
762 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
|
763 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
|
764 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
|
765 your programs, too. |
|
766 |
|
767 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
|
768 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
|
769 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
|
770 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
|
771 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
|
772 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
|
773 |
|
774 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
|
775 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
|
776 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
|
777 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
|
778 |
|
779 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
|
780 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
|
781 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
|
782 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
|
783 rights. |
|
784 |
|
785 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
|
786 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
|
787 distribute and/or modify the software. |
|
788 |
|
789 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
|
790 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
|
791 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
|
792 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
|
793 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
|
794 authors' reputations. |
|
795 |
|
796 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
|
797 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
|
798 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
|
799 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
|
800 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
|
801 |
|
802 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
|
803 modification follow. |
|
804 |
|
805 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
806 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
|
807 |
|
808 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
|
809 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
|
810 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
|
811 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
|
812 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
|
813 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
|
814 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
|
815 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
|
816 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
|
817 |
|
818 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|
819 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|
820 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
|
821 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
|
822 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
|
823 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|
824 |
|
825 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
|
826 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
|
827 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
|
828 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
|
829 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
|
830 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
|
831 along with the Program. |
|
832 |
|
833 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
|
834 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
|
835 |
|
836 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
|
837 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
|
838 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
|
839 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
840 |
|
841 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
|
842 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
843 |
|
844 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
|
845 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
|
846 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
|
847 parties under the terms of this License. |
|
848 |
|
849 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
|
850 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
|
851 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
|
852 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
|
853 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
|
854 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
|
855 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
|
856 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
|
857 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
|
858 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
|
859 |
|
860 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|
861 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
|
862 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|
863 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|
864 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|
865 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|
866 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|
867 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|
868 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
|
869 |
|
870 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|
871 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|
872 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|
873 collective works based on the Program. |
|
874 |
|
875 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
|
876 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
|
877 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|
878 the scope of this License. |
|
879 |
|
880 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
|
881 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
|
882 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
|
883 |
|
884 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
|
885 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
|
886 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
887 |
|
888 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
|
889 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
|
890 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
|
891 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
|
892 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
|
893 customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
894 |
|
895 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
|
896 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
|
897 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
|
898 received the program in object code or executable form with such |
|
899 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
|
900 |
|
901 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|
902 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
|
903 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
|
904 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
|
905 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
|
906 special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
|
907 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
|
908 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
|
909 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|
910 itself accompanies the executable. |
|
911 |
|
912 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
|
913 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
|
914 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
|
915 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
|
916 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
917 |
|
918 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
|
919 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
|
920 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
|
921 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
|
922 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
|
923 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
|
924 parties remain in full compliance. |
|
925 |
|
926 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|
927 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|
928 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
|
929 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|
930 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
|
931 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
|
932 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
933 the Program or works based on it. |
|
934 |
|
935 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
|
936 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
|
937 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
|
938 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
|
939 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|
940 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|
941 this License. |
|
942 |
|
943 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
944 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|
945 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
946 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|
947 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|
948 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|
949 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|
950 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
|
951 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
|
952 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|
953 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
954 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
|
955 |
|
956 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
|
957 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
|
958 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
|
959 circumstances. |
|
960 |
|
961 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|
962 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|
963 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|
964 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
|
965 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|
966 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|
967 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
968 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|
969 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|
970 impose that choice. |
|
971 |
|
972 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|
973 be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
974 |
|
975 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
|
976 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|
977 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
|
978 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
|
979 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
|
980 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
|
981 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
|
982 |
|
983 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
|
984 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
|
985 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
|
986 address new problems or concerns. |
|
987 |
|
988 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
|
989 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
|
990 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
|
991 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
|
992 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
|
993 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
|
994 Foundation. |
|
995 |
|
996 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
|
997 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
|
998 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
|
999 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
|
1000 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
|
1001 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
|
1002 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
|
1003 |
|
1004 NO WARRANTY |
|
1005 |
|
1006 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
|
1007 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
|
1008 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
|
1009 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
|
1010 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
|
1011 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
|
1012 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
|
1013 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
|
1014 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
1015 |
|
1016 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
|
1017 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
|
1018 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
|
1019 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
|
1020 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
|
1021 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
|
1022 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
|
1023 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
|
1024 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
|
1025 |
|
1026 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
|
1027 |
|
1028 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
|
1029 |
|
1030 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
|
1031 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
|
1032 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
|
1033 |
|
1034 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
|
1035 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
|
1036 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
|
1037 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
1038 |
|
1039 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
|
1040 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |

|
1042 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
|
1043 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
|
1044 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
|
1045 (at your option) any later version. |
|
1046 |
|
1047 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
|
1048 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
|
1049 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
|
1050 GNU General Public License for more details. |
|
1051 |
|
1052 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
|
1053 with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., |

1063 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
|
1064 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
|
1065 |
|
1066 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
|
1067 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
|
1068 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |

1069 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |

1070 |
|
1071 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
|
1072 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
|
1073 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |

1081 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
|
1082 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
|
1083 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
|
1084 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
|
1085 Public License instead of this License. |

1090 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
1091 Version 2, June 1991 |
|
1092 |
|
1093 Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
|
1094 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
|
1095 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|
1096 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
1097 |
|
1098 [This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is |
|
1099 numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] |
|
1100 |
|
1101 Preamble |
|
1102 |
|
1103 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
|
1104 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
|
1105 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
|
1106 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
|
1107 |
|
1108 This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some |
|
1109 specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any |
|
1110 other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for |
|
1111 your libraries, too. |
|
1112 |
|
1113 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
|
1114 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
|
1115 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
|
1116 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
|
1117 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
|
1118 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
|
1119 |
|
1120 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
|
1121 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
|
1122 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if |
|
1123 you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. |
|
1124 |
|
1125 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
|
1126 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
|
1127 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
|
1128 code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide |
|
1129 complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them |
|
1130 with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling |
|
1131 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
|
1132 |
|
1133 Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright |
|
1134 the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal |
|
1135 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
|
1136 |
|
1137 Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain |
|
1138 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
|
1139 library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
|
1140 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original |
|
1141 version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on |
|
1142 the original authors' reputations. |
|
1143 |
|
1144 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
|
1145 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free |
|
1146 software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect |
|
1147 transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, |
|
1148 we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's |
|
1149 free use or not licensed at all. |
|
1150 |
|
1151 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary |
|
1152 GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This |
|
1153 license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain |
|
1154 designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary |
|
1155 one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is |
|
1156 the same as in the ordinary license. |
|
1157 |
|
1158 The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that |
|
1159 they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a |
|
1160 program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without |
|
1161 changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is |
|
1162 analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in |
|
1163 a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a |
|
1164 derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License |
|
1165 treats it as such. |
|
1166 |
|
1167 Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General |
|
1168 Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software |
|
1169 sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We |
|
1170 concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. |
|
1171 |
|
1172 However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the |
|
1173 users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the |
|
1174 libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to |
|
1175 permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while |
|
1176 preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free |
|
1177 libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve |
|
1178 this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards |
|
1179 changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this |
|
1180 will lead to faster development of free libraries. |
|
1181 |
|
1182 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
|
1183 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
|
1184 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
|
1185 former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only |
|
1186 works together with the library. |
|
1187 |
|
1188 Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary |
|
1189 General Public License rather than by this special one. |
|
1190 |
|
1191 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
1192 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
|
1193 |
|
1194 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which |
|
1195 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized |
|
1196 party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library |
|
1197 General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is |
|
1198 addressed as "you". |
|
1199 |
|
1200 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
|
1201 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
|
1202 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
|
1203 |
|
1204 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
|
1205 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
|
1206 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
|
1207 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
|
1208 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
|
1209 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
|
1210 included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
|
1211 |
|
1212 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|
1213 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
|
1214 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
|
1215 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
|
1216 and installation of the library. |
|
1217 |
|
1218 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|
1219 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|
1220 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
|
1221 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
|
1222 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
|
1223 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
|
1224 and what the program that uses the Library does. |
|
1225 |
|
1226 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
|
1227 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
|
1228 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
|
1229 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
|
1230 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
|
1231 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
|
1232 Library. |
|
1233 |
|
1234 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
|
1235 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
|
1236 fee. |
|
1237 |
|
1238 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
|
1239 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
|
1240 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
|
1241 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
1242 |
|
1243 a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
|
1244 |
|
1245 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
|
1246 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
1247 |
|
1248 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
|
1249 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
|
1250 |
|
1251 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
|
1252 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
|
1253 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
|
1254 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
|
1255 in the event an application does not supply such function or |
|
1256 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
|
1257 its purpose remains meaningful. |
|
1258 |
|
1259 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
|
1260 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
|
1261 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
|
1262 application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
|
1263 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
|
1264 root function must still compute square roots.) |
|
1265 |
|
1266 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|
1267 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
|
1268 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|
1269 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|
1270 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|
1271 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|
1272 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|
1273 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|
1274 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
|
1275 it. |
|
1276 |
|
1277 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|
1278 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|
1279 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|
1280 collective works based on the Library. |
|
1281 |
|
1282 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
|
1283 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
|
1284 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|
1285 the scope of this License. |
|
1286 |
|
1287 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
|
1288 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
|
1289 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
|
1290 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
|
1291 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
|
1292 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
|
1293 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
|
1294 these notices. |
|
1295 |
|
1296 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
|
1297 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
|
1298 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
|
1299 |
|
1300 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
|
1301 the Library into a program that is not a library. |
|
1302 |
|
1303 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
|
1304 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
|
1305 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
|
1306 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
|
1307 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
|
1308 medium customarily used for software interchange. |
|
1309 |
|
1310 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
|
1311 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
|
1312 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
|
1313 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
|
1314 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
1315 |
|
1316 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
|
1317 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
|
1318 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
|
1319 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
|
1320 therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
|
1321 |
|
1322 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
|
1323 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
|
1324 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
|
1325 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
|
1326 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
|
1327 |
|
1328 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
|
1329 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
|
1330 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
|
1331 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
|
1332 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
|
1333 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
|
1334 |
|
1335 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
|
1336 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
|
1337 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
|
1338 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
|
1339 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
|
1340 Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
|
1341 |
|
1342 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
|
1343 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
|
1344 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
|
1345 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
|
1346 |
|
1347 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or |
|
1348 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
|
1349 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
|
1350 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
|
1351 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
|
1352 engineering for debugging such modifications. |
|
1353 |
|
1354 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
|
1355 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
|
1356 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
|
1357 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
|
1358 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
|
1359 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
|
1360 of these things: |
|
1361 |
|
1362 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
|
1363 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
|
1364 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
|
1365 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
|
1366 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
|
1367 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
|
1368 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
|
1369 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
|
1370 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
|
1371 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
|
1372 to use the modified definitions.) |
|
1373 |
|
1374 b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
|
1375 least three years, to give the same user the materials |
|
1376 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
|
1377 than the cost of performing this distribution. |
|
1378 |
|
1379 c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
|
1380 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
|
1381 specified materials from the same place. |
|
1382 |
|
1383 d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
|
1384 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
|
1385 |
|
1386 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
|
1387 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
|
1388 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
|
1389 the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally |
|
1390 distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
|
1391 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
|
1392 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
|
1393 the executable. |
|
1394 |
|
1395 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
|
1396 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
|
1397 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
|
1398 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
|
1399 distribute. |
|
1400 |
|
1401 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
|
1402 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
|
1403 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
|
1404 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
|
1405 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
|
1406 permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
|
1407 |
|
1408 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
|
1409 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
|
1410 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
|
1411 Sections above. |
|
1412 |
|
1413 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
|
1414 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
|
1415 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
|
1416 |
|
1417 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
|
1418 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
|
1419 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
|
1420 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
|
1421 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
|
1422 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
|
1423 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
|
1424 |
|
1425 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|
1426 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|
1427 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
|
1428 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|
1429 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
|
1430 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
|
1431 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
1432 the Library or works based on it. |
|
1433 |
|
1434 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
|
1435 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
|
1436 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
|
1437 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
|
1438 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|
1439 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|
1440 this License. |
|
1441 |
|
1442 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
1443 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|
1444 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
1445 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|
1446 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|
1447 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|
1448 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|
1449 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
|
1450 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
|
1451 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|
1452 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
1453 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
|
1454 |
|
1455 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
|
1456 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
|
1457 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
|
1458 |
|
1459 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|
1460 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|
1461 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|
1462 integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
|
1463 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|
1464 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|
1465 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
1466 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|
1467 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|
1468 impose that choice. |
|
1469 |
|
1470 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|
1471 be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
1472 |
|
1473 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
|
1474 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|
1475 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
|
1476 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
|
1477 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
|
1478 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
|
1479 written in the body of this License. |
|
1480 |
|
1481 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
|
1482 versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. |
|
1483 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
|
1484 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
|
1485 |
|
1486 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
|
1487 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
|
1488 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
|
1489 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
|
1490 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
|
1491 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
|
1492 the Free Software Foundation. |
|
1493 |
|
1494 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
|
1495 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
|
1496 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
|
1497 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
|
1498 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
|
1499 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
|
1500 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
|
1501 and reuse of software generally. |
|
1502 |
|
1503 NO WARRANTY |
|
1504 |
|
1505 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
|
1506 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
|
1507 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
|
1508 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
|
1509 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
|
1510 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
|
1511 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
|
1512 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
|
1513 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
1514 |
|
1515 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
|
1516 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
|
1517 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
|
1518 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
|
1519 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
|
1520 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
|
1521 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
|
1522 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |
|
1523 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
|
1524 DAMAGES. |
|
1525 |
|
1526 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
|
1527 |
|
1528 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries |
|
1529 |
|
1530 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
|
1531 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that |
|
1532 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting |
|
1533 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the |
|
1534 ordinary General Public License). |
|
1535 |
|
1536 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is |
|
1537 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
|
1538 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
|
1539 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
1540 |
|
1541 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
|
1542 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
1543 |
|
1544 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or |
|
1545 modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public |
|
1546 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either |
|
1547 version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. |
|
1548 |
|
1549 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
|
1550 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
|
1551 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU |
|
1552 Library General Public License for more details. |
|
1553 |
|
1554 You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public |
|
1555 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software |
|
1556 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
|
1557 |
|
1558 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
|
1559 |
|
1560 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
|
1561 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if |
|
1562 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
|
1563 |
|
1564 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the |
|
1565 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. |

|
1576 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
|
1577 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|
1578 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|
1579 |
|
1580 |
|
1581 0. PREAMBLE |
|
1582 |
|
1583 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other |
|
1584 written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone |
|
1585 the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without |
|
1586 modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, |
|
1587 this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get |
|
1588 credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for |
|
1589 modifications made by others. |
|
1590 |
|
1591 This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative |
|
1592 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It |
|
1593 complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft |
|
1594 license designed for free software. |
|
1595 |
|
1596 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free |
|
1597 software, because free software needs free documentation: a free |
|
1598 program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the |
|
1599 software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; |
|
1600 it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or |
|
1601 whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License |
|
1602 principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference. |
|
1603 |
|
1604 |
|
1605 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS |
|
1606 |
|
1607 This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a |
|
1608 notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed |
|
1609 under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any |
|
1610 such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is |
|
1611 addressed as "you". |
|
1612 |
|
1613 A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the |
|
1614 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with |
|
1615 modifications and/or translated into another language. |
|
1616 |
|
1617 A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of |
|
1618 the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the |
|
1619 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject |
|
1620 (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly |
|
1621 within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a |
|
1622 textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any |
|
1623 mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical |
|
1624 connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, |
|
1625 commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding |
|
1626 them. |
|
1627 |
|
1628 The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles |
|
1629 are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice |
|
1630 that says that the Document is released under this License. |
|
1631 |
|
1632 The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, |
|
1633 as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that |
|
1634 the Document is released under this License. |
|
1635 |
|
1636 A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, |
|
1637 represented in a format whose specification is available to the |
|
1638 general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and |
|
1639 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of |
|
1640 pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available |
|
1641 drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or |
|
1642 for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input |
|
1643 to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file |
|
1644 format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage |
|
1645 subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is |
|
1646 not "Transparent" is called "Opaque". |
|
1647 |
|
1648 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain |
|
1649 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML |
|
1650 or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple |
|
1651 HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include |
|
1652 PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only |
|
1653 by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or |
|
1654 processing tools are not generally available, and the |
|
1655 machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output |
|
1656 purposes only. |
|
1657 |
|
1658 The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, |
|
1659 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material |
|
1660 this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in |
|
1661 formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means |
|
1662 the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, |
|
1663 preceding the beginning of the body of the text. |
|
1664 |
|
1665 |
|
1666 2. VERBATIM COPYING |
|
1667 |
|
1668 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either |
|
1669 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the |
|
1670 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies |
|
1671 to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other |
|
1672 conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use |
|
1673 technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further |
|
1674 copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept |
|
1675 compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough |
|
1676 number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3. |
|
1677 |
|
1678 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and |
|
1679 you may publicly display copies. |
|
1680 |
|
1681 |
|
1682 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY |
|
1683 |
|
1684 If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, |
|
1685 and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose |
|
1686 the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover |
|
1687 Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on |
|
1688 the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify |
|
1689 you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present |
|
1690 the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and |
|
1691 visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. |
|
1692 Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve |
|
1693 the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated |
|
1694 as verbatim copying in other respects. |
|
1695 |
|
1696 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit |
|
1697 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit |
|
1698 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent |
|
1699 pages. |
|
1700 |
|
1701 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering |
|
1702 more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent |
|
1703 copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy |
|
1704 a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete |
|
1705 Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the |
|
1706 general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no |
|
1707 charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter |
|
1708 option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin |
|
1709 distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this |
|
1710 Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location |
|
1711 until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque |
|
1712 copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to |
|
1713 the public. |
|
1714 |
|
1715 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the |
|
1716 Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give |
|
1717 them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. |
|
1718 |
|
1719 |
|
1720 4. MODIFICATIONS |
|
1721 |
|
1722 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under |
|
1723 the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release |
|
1724 the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified |
|
1725 Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution |
|
1726 and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy |
|
1727 of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: |
|
1728 |
|
1729 A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct |
|
1730 from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions |
|
1731 (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section |
|
1732 of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version |
|
1733 if the original publisher of that version gives permission. |
|
1734 B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities |
|
1735 responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified |
|
1736 Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the |
|
1737 Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five). |
|
1738 C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the |
|
1739 Modified Version, as the publisher. |
|
1740 D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. |
|
1741 E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications |
|
1742 adjacent to the other copyright notices. |
|
1743 F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice |
|
1744 giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the |
|
1745 terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. |
|
1746 G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections |
|
1747 and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. |
|
1748 H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. |
|
1749 I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to |
|
1750 it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and |
|
1751 publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If |
|
1752 there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one |
|
1753 stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as |
|
1754 given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified |
|
1755 Version as stated in the previous sentence. |
|
1756 J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for |
|
1757 public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise |
|
1758 the network locations given in the Document for previous versions |
|
1759 it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. |
|
1760 You may omit a network location for a work that was published at |
|
1761 least four years before the Document itself, or if the original |
|
1762 publisher of the version it refers to gives permission. |
|
1763 K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", |
|
1764 preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the |
|
1765 substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements |
|
1766 and/or dedications given therein. |
|
1767 L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, |
|
1768 unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers |
|
1769 or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. |
|
1770 M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section |
|
1771 may not be included in the Modified Version. |
|
1772 N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" |
|
1773 or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section. |
|
1774 |
|
1775 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or |
|
1776 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material |
|
1777 copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all |
|
1778 of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the |
|
1779 list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. |
|
1780 These titles must be distinct from any other section titles. |
|
1781 |
|
1782 You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains |
|
1783 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various |
|
1784 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has |
|
1785 been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a |
|
1786 standard. |
|
1787 |
|
1788 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a |
|
1789 passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list |
|
1790 of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of |
|
1791 Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or |
|
1792 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already |
|
1793 includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or |
|
1794 by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, |
|
1795 you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit |
|
1796 permission from the previous publisher that added the old one. |
|
1797 |
|
1798 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License |
|
1799 give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or |
|
1800 imply endorsement of any Modified Version. |
|
1801 |
|
1802 |
|
1803 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS |
|
1804 |
|
1805 You may combine the Document with other documents released under this |
|
1806 License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified |
|
1807 versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the |
|
1808 Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and |
|
1809 list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its |
|
1810 license notice. |
|
1811 |
|
1812 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and |
|
1813 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single |
|
1814 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but |
|
1815 different contents, make the title of each such section unique by |
|
1816 adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original |
|
1817 author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. |
|
1818 Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of |
|
1819 Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work. |
|
1820 |
|
1821 In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History" |
|
1822 in the various original documents, forming one section entitled |
|
1823 "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements", |
|
1824 and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections |
|
1825 entitled "Endorsements." |
|
1826 |
|
1827 |
|

1830 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents |
|
1831 released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this |
|
1832 License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in |
|
1833 the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for |
|
1834 verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects. |
|
1835 |
|
1836 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute |
|
1837 it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this |
|
1838 License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all |
|
1839 other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. |
|
1840 |
|
1841 |
|
1842 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS |
|
1843 |
|
1844 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate |
|
1845 and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or |
|
1846 distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version |
|
1847 of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the |
|
1848 compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this |
|
1849 License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled |
|
1850 with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they |
|
1851 are not themselves derivative works of the Document. |
|
1852 |
|
1853 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these |
|
1854 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter |
|
1855 of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on |
|
1856 covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. |
|
1857 Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate. |
|
1858 |
|
1859 |
|
1860 8. TRANSLATION |
|
1861 |
|
1862 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may |
|
1863 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. |
|
1864 Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special |
|
1865 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include |
|
1866 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the |
|
1867 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a |
|
1868 translation of this License provided that you also include the |
|
1869 original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement |
|
1870 between the translation and the original English version of this |
|
1871 License, the original English version will prevail. |
|
1872 |
|
1873 |
|
1874 9. TERMINATION |
|
1875 |
|
1876 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except |
|
1877 as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to |
|
1878 copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will |
|
1879 automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, |
|
1880 parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this |
|
1881 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
|
1882 parties remain in full compliance. |
|
1883 |
|
1884 |
|
1885 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE |
|
1886 |
|
1887 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions |
|
1888 of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new |
|
1889 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may |
|
1890 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See |
|
1891 http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/. |
|
1892 |
|
1893 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. |
|
1894 If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this |
|
1895 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of |
|
1896 following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or |
|
1897 of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the |
|
1898 Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version |
|
1899 number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not |
|
1900 as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. |
|
1901 |
|
1902 |
|
1903 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents |
|
1904 |
|
1905 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of |
|
1906 the License in the document and put the following copyright and |
|
1907 license notices just after the title page: |
|
1908 |
|
1909 Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. |
|
1910 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document |
|
1911 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 |
|
1912 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; |
|
1913 with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the |
|
1914 Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. |
|
1915 A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU |
|
1916 Free Documentation License". |
|
1917 |
|
1918 If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" |
|
1919 instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no |
|
1920 Front-Cover Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of |
|
1921 "Front-Cover Texts being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts. |
|
1922 |
|
1923 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we |
|
1924 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of |
|
1925 free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, |
|
1926 to permit their use in free software. |

|
1961 Authors of GNU CVS |
|
1962 |
|
1963 The conflict-resolution algorithms and much of the administrative file |
|
1964 definitions of CVS were based on the original package written by Dick Grune |
|
1965 at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam <[email protected]>, and posted to |
|
1966 comp.sources.unix in the volume 6 release sometime in 1986. This original |
|
1967 version was a collection of shell scripts. I am thankful that Dick made |
|
1968 his work available. |
|
1969 |
|
1970 Brian Berliner from Prisma, Inc. (now at Sun Microsystems, Inc.) |
|
1971 <[email protected]> converted the original CVS shell scripts into reasonably |
|
1972 fast C and added many, many features to support software release control |
|
1973 functions. See the manual page in the "man" directory. A copy of the |
|
1974 USENIX article presented at the Winter 1990 USENIX Conference, Washington |
|
1975 D.C., is included in the "doc" directory. |
|
1976 |
|
1977 Jeff Polk from BSDI <[email protected]> converted the CVS 1.2 |
|
1978 sources into much more readable and maintainable C code. He also added a |
|
1979 whole lot of functionality and modularity to the code in the process. |
|
1980 See the bottom of the NEWS file (from about 1992). |
|
1981 |
|
1982 david d `zoo' zuhn <[email protected]> contributed the working base code |
|
1983 for CVS 1.4 Alpha. His work carries on from work done by K. Richard Pixley |
|
1984 and others at Cygnus Support. The CVS 1.4 upgrade is due in large part to |
|
1985 Zoo's efforts. |
|
1986 |
|
1987 David G. Grubbs <[email protected]> contributed the CVS "history" and "release" |
|
1988 commands. As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of CVS which tells CVS |
|
1989 to show what it would do, without actually doing it. He also contributed |
|
1990 support for the .cvsignore file. |
|
1991 |
|
1992 The Free Software Foundation (GNU) contributed most of the portability |
|
1993 framework that CVS now uses. This can be found in the "configure" script, |
|
1994 the Makefile's, and basically most of the "lib" directory. |
|
1995 |
|
1996 K. Richard Pixley, Cygnus Support <[email protected]> contributed many bug |
|
1997 fixes/enhancement as well as completing early reviews of the CVS 1.3 manual |
|
1998 pages. |
|
1999 |
|
2000 Roland Pesch, then of Cygnus Support <[email protected]> contributed |
|
2001 brand new cvs(1) and cvs(5) manual pages. Thanks to him for saving us |
|
2002 from poor use of our language! |
|
2003 |
|
2004 Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. <[email protected]> wrote and |
|
2005 contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c. I added support for POSIX, BSD, |
|
2006 and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems. |
|
2007 |
|
2008 Jim Kingdon and others at Cygnus Support <[email protected]> wrote the |
|
2009 remote repository access code. |
|
2010 |
|
2011 Larry Jones and Derek Price <[email protected]> have been maintaining and |
|
2012 enhancing CVS for some years. Mark D. Baushke <[email protected]> came on in |
|
2013 2003. |
|
2014 |
|
2015 Conrad Pino <[email protected]> began maintaining the Windows port in 2004. |
|
2016 |
|
2017 There have been many, many contributions not listed here. Consult the |
|
2018 individual ChangeLog files in each directory for a more complete idea. |
|
2019 |
|
2020 In addition to the above contributors, the following Beta testers |
|
2021 deserve special mention for their support. This is only a partial |
|
2022 list; if you have helped in this way and would like to be listed, let |
|
2023 bug-cvs know (as described in the Cederqvist manual). |
