    70 

    71  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

    72  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

    73  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

    74  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

    75 

    76 			    Preamble

    77 

    78   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your

    79 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public

    80 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free

    81 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This

    82 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software

    83 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to

    84 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by

    85 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to

    86 your programs, too.

    87 

    88   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not

    89 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you

    90 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for

    91 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it

    92 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it

    93 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

    94 

    95   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid

    96 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.

    97 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you

    98 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

    99 

   100   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether

   101 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that

   102 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the

   103 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their

   104 rights.

   105 

   106   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and

   107 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,

   108 distribute and/or modify the software.

   109 

   110   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain

   111 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free

   112 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we

   113 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so

   114 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original

   115 authors' reputations.

   116 

   117   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software

   118 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free

   119 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the

   120 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any

   121 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

   122 

   123   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

   124 modification follow.

   125 

   126 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

   127    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

   128 

   129   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains

   130 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed

   131 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,

   132 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"

   133 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:

   134 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,

   135 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another

   136 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in

   137 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".

   138 

   139 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not

   140 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of

   141 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program

   142 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the

   143 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).

   144 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

   145 

   146   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's

   147 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you

   148 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate

   149 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the

   150 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;

   151 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License

   152 along with the Program.

   153 

   154 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and

   155 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

   156 

   157   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion

   158 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and

   159 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1

   160 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

   161 

   162     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices

   163     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

   164 

   165     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in

   166     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any

   167     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third

   168     parties under the terms of this License.

   169 

   170     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively

   171     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such

   172     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an

   173     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a

   174     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide

   175     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under

   176     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this

   177     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but

   178     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on

   179     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

   180 

   181 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If

   182 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,

   183 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in

   184 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those

   185 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you

   186 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based

   187 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

   188 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the

   189 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

   190 

   191 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest

   192 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to

   193 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or

   194 collective works based on the Program.

   195 

   196 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program

   197 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of

   198 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under

   199 the scope of this License.

   200 

   201   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

   202 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of

   203 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

   204 

   205     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

   206     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections

   207     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

   208 

   209     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three

   210     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your

   211     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete

   212     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be

   213     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium

   214     customarily used for software interchange; or,

   215 

   216     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer

   217     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is

   218     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you

   219     received the program in object code or executable form with such

   220     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

   221 

   222 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for

   223 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source

   224 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any

   225 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to

   226 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a

   227 special exception, the source code distributed need not include

   228 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary

   229 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the

   230 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component

   231 itself accompanies the executable.

   232 

   233 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering

   234 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent

   235 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as

   236 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not

   237 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

   238 

   239   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program

   240 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt

   241 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is

   242 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.

   243 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under

   244 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such

   245 parties remain in full compliance.

   246 

   247   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not

   248 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or

   249 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are

   250 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by

   251 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the

   252 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and

   253 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying

   254 the Program or works based on it.

   255 

   256   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the

   257 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the

   258 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to

   259 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further

   260 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.

   261 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to

   262 this License.

   263 

   264   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

   265 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),

   266 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or

   267 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not

   268 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot

   269 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this

   270 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you

   271 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent

   272 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by

   273 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then

   274 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to

   275 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

   276 

   277 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under

   278 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to

   279 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other

   280 circumstances.

   281 

   282 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any

   283 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any

   284 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the

   285 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is

   286 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made

   287 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed

   288 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that

   289 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing

   290 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot

   291 impose that choice.

   292 

   293 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to

   294 be a consequence of the rest of this License.

   295 

   296   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in

   297 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the

   298 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License

   299 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding

   300 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among

   301 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates

   302 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

   303 

   304   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions

   305 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will

   306 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to

   307 address new problems or concerns.

   308 

   309 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program

   310 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any

   311 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions

   312 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free

   313 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of

   314 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software

   315 Foundation.

   316 

   317   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free

   318 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author

   319 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free

   320 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes

   321 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals

   322 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and

   323 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

   324 

   325 			    NO WARRANTY

   326 

   327   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY

   328 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN

   329 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES

   330 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED

   331 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

   332 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS

   333 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE

   334 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,

   335 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

   336 

   337   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING

   338 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR

   339 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,

   340 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING

   341 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED

   342 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY

   343 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER

   344 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

   345 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

   346 

   347 		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

   348 

   349 	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

   350 

   351   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest

   352 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it

   353 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

   354 

   355   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest

   356 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively

   357 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least

   358 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

   359 

   360     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

   361     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

   362 

   363     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

   364     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

   365     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

   366     (at your option) any later version.

   367 

   368     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

   369     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

   370     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the

   371     GNU General Public License for more details.

   372 

   373     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

   374     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software

   375     Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

   376 

   377 

   378 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

   379 

   380 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this

   381 when it starts in an interactive mode:

   382 

   383     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

   384     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.

   385     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

   386     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

   387 

   388 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate

   389 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may

   390 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be

   391 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

   392 

   393 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your

   394 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if

   395 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

   396 

   397   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

   398   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

   401   Ty Coon, President of Vice

   402 

   403 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

   404 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may

   405 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

   406 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General

   407 Public License instead of this License.

  1022  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

  1023  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

  1024 

  1025 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts

  1026  as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence

  1027  the version number 2.1.]

  1028 

  1029 			    Preamble

  1030 

  1031   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your

  1032 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public

  1033 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change

  1034 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

  1035 

  1036   This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some

  1037 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the

  1038 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You

  1039 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether

  1040 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better

  1041 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

  1042 

  1043   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,

  1044 not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that

  1045 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge

  1046 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get

  1047 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of

  1048 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do

  1049 these things.

  1050 

  1051   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid

  1052 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these

  1053 rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for

  1054 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

  1055 

  1056   For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis

  1057 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave

  1058 you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source

  1059 code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide

  1060 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them

  1061 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling

  1062 it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

  1063 

  1064   We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the

  1065 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal

  1066 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

  1067 

  1068   To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that

  1069 there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is

  1070 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know

  1071 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original

  1072 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be

  1073 introduced by others.

  1074 

  1075   Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of

  1076 any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot

  1077 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a

  1078 restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that

  1079 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be

  1080 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

  1081 

  1082   Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the

  1083 ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser

  1084 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and

  1085 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use

  1086 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those

  1087 libraries into non-free programs.

  1088 

  1089   When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using

  1090 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a

  1091 combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary

  1092 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the

  1093 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General

  1094 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with

  1095 the library.

  1096 

  1097   We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it

  1098 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General

  1099 Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less

  1100 of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages

  1101 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many

  1102 libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain

  1103 special circumstances.

  1104 

  1105   For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to

  1106 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes

  1107 a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be

  1108 allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free

  1109 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this

  1110 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free

  1111 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

  1112 

  1113   In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free

  1114 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of

  1115 free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in

  1116 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU

  1117 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating

  1118 system.

  1119 

  1120   Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the

  1121 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is

  1122 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run

  1123 that program using a modified version of the Library.

  1124 

  1125   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

  1126 modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a

  1127 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The

  1128 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must

  1129 be combined with the library in order to run.
