1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    10: [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
        !            11:  as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence

1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    14:                             Preamble
1.1       maekawa    15:
                     16:   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
                     17: freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
                     18: Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
                     19: free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
                     20:
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    21:   This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
        !            22: specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
        !            23: Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
        !            24: can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
        !            25: this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
        !            26: strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
        !            27: below.
        !            28:
        !            29:   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
        !            30: not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
        !            31: you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
        !            32: for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
        !            33: it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
        !            34: it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
        !            35: these things.
1.1       maekawa    36:
                     37:   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    38: distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
        !            39: rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
        !            40: you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
1.1       maekawa    41:
                     42:   For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
                     43: or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
                     44: you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    45: code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
        !            46: complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
        !            47: with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
1.1       maekawa    48: it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
                     49:
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    50:   We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
        !            51: library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
1.1       maekawa    52: permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
                     53:
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa    54:   To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
        !            55: there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
        !            56: modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
        !            57: that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
        !            58: author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
        !            59: introduced by others.
        !            60: ^L
        !            61:   Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
        !            62: any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
        !            63: effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
        !            64: restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
        !            65: any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
        !            66: consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
        !            67:
        !            68:   Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
        !            69: ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
        !            70: General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
        !            71: is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
        !            72: this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
        !            73: libraries into non-free programs.
        !            74:
        !            75:   When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
        !            76: a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
        !            77: combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
        !            78: General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
        !            79: entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
        !            80: Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
        !            81: the library.
        !            82:
        !            83:   We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
        !            84: does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
        !            85: Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
        !            86: of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
        !            87: are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
        !            88: libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
        !            89: special circumstances.
        !            90:
        !            91:   For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
        !            92: encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
        !            93: becomes
        !            94: a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
        !            95: allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
        !            96: library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
        !            97: case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
        !            98: software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
        !            99:
        !           100:   In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
        !           101: programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
        !           102: free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
        !           103: non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
        !           104: operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
        !           105: system.
        !           106:
        !           107:   Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
        !           108: users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
        !           109: linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
        !           110: that program using a modified version of the Library.
1.1       maekawa   111:
                    112:   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
                    113: modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
                    114: "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   115: former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
        !           116: be combined with the library in order to run.
        !           117: ^L
        !           118:                   GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1.1       maekawa   119:    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
                    120:
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   121:   0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
        !           122: program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
        !           123: other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
        !           124: this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
        !           125: Each licensee is addressed as "you".
1.1       maekawa   126:
                    127:   A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
                    128: prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
                    129: (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
                    130:
                    131:   The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
                    132: which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
                    133: Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
                    134: copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
                    135: portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
                    136: straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
                    137: included without limitation in the term "modification".)
                    138:
                    139:   "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
                    140: making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
                    141: all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   142: interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
        !           143: compilation
1.1       maekawa   144: and installation of the library.
                    145:
                    146:   Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
                    147: covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
                    148: running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
                    149: such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
                    150: on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
                    151: writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
                    152: and what the program that uses the Library does.
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   153:
1.1       maekawa   154:   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
                    155: complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
                    156: you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
                    157: appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
                    158: all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
                    159: warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
                    160: Library.
                    161:
                    162:   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
                    163: and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
                    164: fee.
                    165: 
                    166:   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
                    167: of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
                    168: distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
                    169: above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
                    170:
                    171:     a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
                    172:
                    173:     b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
                    174:     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
                    175:
                    176:     c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
                    177:     charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
                    178:
                    179:     d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
                    180:     table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
                    181:     the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
                    182:     is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
                    183:     in the event an application does not supply such function or
                    184:     table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
                    185:     its purpose remains meaningful.
                    186:
                    187:     (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
                    188:     a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
                    189:     application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
                    190:     application-supplied function or table used by this function must
                    191:     be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
                    192:     root function must still compute square roots.)
                    193:
                    194: These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
                    195: identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
                    196: and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
                    197: themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
                    198: sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
                    199: distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
                    200: on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
                    201: this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
                    202: entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
                    203: it.
                    204:
                    205: Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
                    206: your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
                    207: exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
                    208: collective works based on the Library.
                    209:
                    210: In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
                    211: with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
                    212: a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
                    213: the scope of this License.
                    214:
                    215:   3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
                    216: License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
                    217: this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
                    218: that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
                    219: instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
                    220: ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
                    221: that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
                    222: these notices.
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   223: ^L
1.1       maekawa   224:   Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
                    225: that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
                    226: subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
                    227:
                    228:   This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
                    229: the Library into a program that is not a library.
                    230:
                    231:   4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
                    232: derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
                    233: under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
                    234: it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
                    235: must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
                    236: medium customarily used for software interchange.
                    237:
                    238:   If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
                    239: from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
                    240: source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
                    241: distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
                    242: compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
                    243:
                    244:   5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
                    245: Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
                    246: linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
                    247: work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
                    248: therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
                    249:
                    250:   However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
                    251: creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
                    252: contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
                    253: library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
                    254: Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
                    255:
                    256:   When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
                    257: that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
                    258: derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
                    259: Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
                    260: linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
                    261: threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
                    262:
                    263:   If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
                    264: structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
                    265: functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
                    266: file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
                    267: work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
                    268: Library will still fall under Section 6.)
                    269:
                    270:   Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
                    271: distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
                    272: Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
                    273: whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

                    278: under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
                    279: modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse

                    288: of these things:
                    289:

                    292:     changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under

                    294:     with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
                    295:     uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
                    296:     user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
                    297:     executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
                    298:     that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
                    299:     Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
                    300:     to use the modified definitions.)
                    301:
1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   302:     b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the

        !           305:     rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)

                    312:     specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more

1.1       maekawa   320:     materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
                    321:
                    322:   For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the

1.1.1.2 ! maekawa   325: the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is

                    330:
                    331:   It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
                    332: restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
                    333: accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot

                    363: distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
                    364: prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
                    365: modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
                    366: Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
