1.1     ! ohara       1:                  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
        !             2:                       Version 2.1, February 1999

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