| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 2, June 1991 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
| freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
| License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
| software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
| General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
| Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
| using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
| the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
| your programs, too. |
| |
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
| price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
| have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
| this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
| if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
| in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
| |
| To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
| These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
| distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
| |
| For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
| gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
| you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
| source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
| rights. |
| |
| We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
| (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
| distribute and/or modify the software. |
| |
| Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
| that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
| software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
| want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
| that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
| authors' reputations. |
| |
| Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
| patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
| program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
| program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
| patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
| |
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| modification follow. |
| |
| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| |
| 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
| a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
| under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
| refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
| means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
| that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
| either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
| language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
| the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
| |
| Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
| covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
| running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
| is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
| Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
| Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
| |
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
| source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
| conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
| copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
| notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
| and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
| along with the Program. |
| |
| You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
| you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
| |
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
| of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| |
| a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
| stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| |
| b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
| whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
| part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
| parties under the terms of this License. |
| |
| c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
| when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
| interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
| announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
| notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
| a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
| these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
| License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
| does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
| the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
| |
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
| and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
| themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
| sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
| distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
| on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
| this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
| entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
| |
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
| your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
| exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
| collective works based on the Program. |
| |
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
| with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
| a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
| the scope of this License. |
| |
| 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
| under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
| Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
| |
| a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
| source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
| 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
| |
| b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
| years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
| cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
| machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
| distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
| customarily used for software interchange; or, |
| |
| c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
| to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
| allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
| received the program in object code or executable form with such |
| an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
| |
| The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
| making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
| code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
| associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
| control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
| special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
| anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
| form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
| operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
| itself accompanies the executable. |
| |
| If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
| access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
| access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
| distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
| |
| 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
| except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
| otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
| void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
| However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
| this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
| parties remain in full compliance. |
| |
| 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
| signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
| distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
| prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
| modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
| Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
| all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
| the Program or works based on it. |
| |
| 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
| Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
| these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
| restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
| You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
| this License. |
| |
| 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
| conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
| excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
| distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
| may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
| license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
| all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
| the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
| |
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
| any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
| apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
| circumstances. |
| |
| It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
| patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
| such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
| integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
| implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
| generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
| through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
| to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
| impose that choice. |
| |
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
| be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
| |
| 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
| original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
| may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
| those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
| countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
| the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
| |
| 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
| of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
| be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
| address new problems or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
| specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
| later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
| either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
| Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
| this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
| Foundation. |
| |
| 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
| programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
| to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
| Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
| make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
| of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
| of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
| |
| NO WARRANTY |
| |
| 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
| FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
| OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
| PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
| OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
| MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
| TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
| PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
| REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
| WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
| REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
| INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
| OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
| TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
| YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
| PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
| POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| |
| If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| |
| To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
| to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
| convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
| the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| |
| <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| |
| This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
| it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
| the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
| (at your option) any later version. |
| |
| This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
| GNU General Public License for more details. |
| |
| You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
| along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software |
| Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
| |
| |
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| |
| If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
| when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| |
| Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
| Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
| This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
| under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
| |
| The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
| parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
| be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
| mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
| |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
| school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
| necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
| |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
| `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |
| |
| <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 |
| Ty Coon, President of Vice |
| |
| This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
| proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
| consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
| library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General |
| Public License instead of this License. |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 3, 29 June 2007 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for |
| software and other kinds of works. |
| |
| The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed |
| to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, |
| the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to |
| share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free |
| software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the |
| GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to |
| any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to |
| your programs, too. |
| |
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
| price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
| have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
| them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
| want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
| free programs, and that you know you can do these things. |
| |
| To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you |
| these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
| certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
| you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
| |
| For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
| gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
| freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
| or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
| know their rights. |
| |
| Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |
| (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
| giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
| |
| For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains |
| that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
| authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
| changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
| authors of previous versions. |
| |
| Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run |
| modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
| can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
| protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
| pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
| use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
| have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
| products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
| stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
| of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
| |
| Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. |
| States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
| software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
| avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
| make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
| patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. |
| |
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| modification follow. |
| |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| 0. Definitions. |
| |
| "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
| |
| "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
| works, such as semiconductor masks. |
| |
| "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
| License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and |
| "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
| |
| To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
| in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
| exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the |
| earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. |
| |
| A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
| on the Program. |
| |
| To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
| permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
| infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
| computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
| distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
| public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
| |
| To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other |
| parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
| a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. |
| |
| An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |
| to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
| feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
| tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
| extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
| work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
| the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
| menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
| |
| 1. Source Code. |
| |
| The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work |
| for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source |
| form of a work. |
| |
| A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
| standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
| interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
| is widely used among developers working in that language. |
| |
| The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |
| than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
| packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
| Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
| Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
| implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
| "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component |
| (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
| (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
| produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
| |
| The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
| the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
| work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
| control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
| System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
| programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
| which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
| includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
| the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
| linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
| such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
| subprograms and other parts of the work. |
| |
| The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
| can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
| Source. |
| |
| The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
| same work. |
| |
| 2. Basic Permissions. |
| |
| All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
| copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
| conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
| permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
| covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
| content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
| rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
| |
| You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not |
| convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
| in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
| of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
| with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
| the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
| not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
| for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
| and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
| your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
| |
| Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under |
| the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
| makes it unnecessary. |
| |
| 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
| |
| No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
| measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
| 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
| similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
| measures. |
| |
| When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
| circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
| is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
| the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
| modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
| users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
| technological measures. |
| |
| 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
| |
| You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
| receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
| keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
| non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
| keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
| recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
| |
| You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
| and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
| |
| 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
| |
| You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to |
| produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the |
| terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| |
| a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified |
| it, and giving a relevant date. |
| |
| b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is |
| released under this License and any conditions added under section |
| 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to |
| "keep intact all notices". |
| |
| c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this |
| License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This |
| License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 |
| additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, |
| regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no |
| permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not |
| invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. |
| |
| d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display |
| Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
| interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your |
| work need not make them do so. |
| |
| A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent |
| works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, |
| and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, |
| in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an |
| "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not |
| used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users |
| beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work |
| in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
| parts of the aggregate. |
| |
| 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
| |
| You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms |
| of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the |
| machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, |
| in one of these ways: |
| |
| a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
| (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the |
| Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium |
| customarily used for software interchange. |
| |
| b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
| (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a |
| written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as |
| long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product |
| model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a |
| copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the |
| product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical |
| medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
| more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this |
| conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the |
| Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. |
| |
| c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the |
| written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This |
| alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and |
| only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord |
| with subsection 6b. |
| |
| d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated |
| place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the |
| Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no |
| further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the |
| Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to |
| copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source |
| may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) |
| that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain |
| clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the |
| Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the |
| Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is |
| available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. |
| |
| e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided |
| you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding |
| Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no |
| charge under subsection 6d. |
| |
| A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded |
| from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be |
| included in conveying the object code work. |
| |
| A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any |
| tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, |
| or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation |
| into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, |
| doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular |
| product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a |
| typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status |
| of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user |
| actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product |
| is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial |
| commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent |
| the only significant mode of use of the product. |
| |
| "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, |
| procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install |
| and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from |
| a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must |
| suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object |
| code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because |
| modification has been made. |
| |
| If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or |
| specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as |
| part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the |
| User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a |
| fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the |
| Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied |
| by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply |
| if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install |
| modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has |
| been installed in ROM). |
| |
| The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
| requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates |
| for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for |
| the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a |
| network may be denied when the modification itself materially and |
| adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and |
| protocols for communication across the network. |
| |
| Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, |
| in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly |
| documented (and with an implementation available to the public in |
| source code form), and must require no special password or key for |
| unpacking, reading or copying. |
| |
| 7. Additional Terms. |
| |
| "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this |
| License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. |
| Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall |
| be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent |
| that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions |
| apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately |
| under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by |
| this License without regard to the additional permissions. |
| |
| When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option |
| remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of |
| it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own |
| removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place |
| additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, |
| for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. |
| |
| Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you |
| add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of |
| that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: |
| |
| a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the |
| terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or |
| |
| b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or |
| author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal |
| Notices displayed by works containing it; or |
| |
| c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
| requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in |
| reasonable ways as different from the original version; or |
| |
| d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or |
| authors of the material; or |
| |
| e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some |
| trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or |
| |
| f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that |
| material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of |
| it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for |
| any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on |
| those licensors and authors. |
| |
| All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further |
| restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you |
| received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is |
| governed by this License along with a term that is a further |
| restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains |
| a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this |
| License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms |
| of that license document, provided that the further restriction does |
| not survive such relicensing or conveying. |
| |
| If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you |
| must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the |
| additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating |
| where to find the applicable terms. |
| |
| Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the |
| form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; |
| the above requirements apply either way. |
| |
| 8. Termination. |
| |
| You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly |
| provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or |
| modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under |
| this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third |
| paragraph of section 11). |
| |
| However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your |
| license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) |
| provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and |
| finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright |
| holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means |
| prior to 60 days after the cessation. |
| |
| Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is |
| reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the |
| violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have |
| received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that |
| copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after |
| your receipt of the notice. |
| |
| Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the |
| licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under |
| this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently |
| reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same |
| material under section 10. |
| |
| 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. |
| |
| You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or |
| run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work |
| occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission |
| to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, |
| nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or |
| modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do |
| not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a |
| covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. |
| |
| 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. |
| |
| Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically |
| receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and |
| propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible |
| for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. |
| |
| An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an |
| organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
| organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered |
| work results from an entity transaction, each party to that |
| transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever |
| licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could |
| give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the |
| Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if |
| the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. |
| |
| You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the |
| rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may |
| not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of |
| rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation |
| (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that |
| any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for |
| sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. |
| |
| 11. Patents. |
| |
| A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this |
| License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The |
| work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". |
| |
| A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims |
| owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or |
| hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted |
| by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, |
| but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a |
| consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For |
| purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant |
| patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of |
| this License. |
| |
| Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
| patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
| make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
| propagate the contents of its contributor version. |
| |
| In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express |
| agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent |
| (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to |
| sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a |
| party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a |
| patent against the party. |
| |
| If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, |
| and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone |
| to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a |
| publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, |
| then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so |
| available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the |
| patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner |
| consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent |
| license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have |
| actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the |
| covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work |
| in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that |
| country that you have reason to believe are valid. |
| |
| If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or |
| arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a |
| covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties |
| receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify |
| or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license |
| you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered |
| work and works based on it. |
| |
| A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within |
| the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is |
| conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are |
| specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered |
| work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is |
| in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment |
| to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying |
| the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the |
| parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory |
| patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work |
| conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily |
| for and in connection with specific products or compilations that |
| contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, |
| or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. |
| |
| Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting |
| any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may |
| otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. |
| |
| 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. |
| |
| If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
| excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a |
| covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may |
| not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you |
| to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey |
| the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
| License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
| |
| 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. |
| |
| Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have |
| permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed |
| under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single |
| combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this |
| License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, |
| but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, |
| section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the |
| combination as such. |
| |
| 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
| |
| The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of |
| the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
| be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
| address new problems or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
| Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General |
| Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the |
| option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered |
| version or of any later version published by the Free Software |
| Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the |
| GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published |
| by the Free Software Foundation. |
| |
| If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future |
| versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's |
| public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you |
| to choose that version for the Program. |
| |
| Later license versions may give you additional or different |
| permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any |
| author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
| later version. |
| |
| 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
| |
| THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
| APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
| HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |
| OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
| THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM |
| IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF |
| ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| 16. Limitation of Liability. |
| |
| IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
| WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS |
| THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
| GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE |
| USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
| DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
| PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), |
| EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF |
| SUCH DAMAGES. |
| |
| 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. |
| |
| If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided |
| above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, |
| reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates |
| an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the |
| Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a |
| copy of the Program in return for a fee. |
| |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| |
| If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| |
| To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
| to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
| state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
| the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| |
| <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| |
| This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify |
| it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
| the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or |
| (at your option) any later version. |
| |
| This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
| GNU General Public License for more details. |
| |
| You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
| along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
| |
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| |
| If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short |
| notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| |
| <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
| This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
| under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
| |
| The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
| parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands |
| might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". |
| |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, |
| if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. |
| For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see |
| <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
| |
| The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program |
| into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you |
| may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with |
| the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
| Public License instead of this License. But first, please read |
| <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. |

| GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 2.1, February 1999 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
| 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts |
| as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence |
| the version number 2.1.] |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
| freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
| Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
| free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
| |
| This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
| specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the |
| Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You |
| can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether |
| this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better |
| strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations |
| below. |
| |
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
| not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
| you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
| for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
| it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of |
| it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do |
| these things. |
| |
| To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
| rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
| you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
| |
| For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
| or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
| you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
| code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
| complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
| with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling |
| it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
| |
| We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
| library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
| permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
| |
| To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that |
| there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is |
| modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know |
| that what they have is not the original version, so that the original |
| author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be |
| introduced by others. |
| |
| Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
| any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
| effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
| restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that |
| any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be |
| consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
| |
| Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
| ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
| General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and |
| is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use |
| this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those |
| libraries into non-free programs. |
| |
| When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
| a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
| combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
| General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the |
| entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General |
| Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with |
| the library. |
| |
| We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it |
| does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
| Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less |
| of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages |
| are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
| libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
| special circumstances. |
| |
| For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
| encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it |
| becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must |
| be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free |
| library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this |
| case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free |
| software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
| |
| In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
| programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of |
| free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in |
| non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU |
| operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating |
| system. |
| |
| Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
| users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is |
| linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run |
| that program using a modified version of the Library. |
| |
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
| "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
| former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
| be combined with the library in order to run. |
| |
| GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| |
| 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
| program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
| other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
| this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
| Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
| |
| A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
| prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
| (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
| |
| The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
| which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
| Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
| copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
| portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
| straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
| included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
| |
| "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
| making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
| all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
| interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control |
| compilation and installation of the library. |
| |
| Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
| covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
| running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
| such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
| on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
| writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
| and what the program that uses the Library does. |
| |
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
| complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
| you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
| appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
| all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
| warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
| Library. |
| |
| You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
| and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
| fee. |
| |
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
| of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| |
| a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
| |
| b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
| stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| |
| c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
| charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
| |
| d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
| table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
| the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
| is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
| in the event an application does not supply such function or |
| table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
| its purpose remains meaningful. |
| |
| (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
| a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
| application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
| application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
| be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
| root function must still compute square roots.) |
| |
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
| and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
| themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
| sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
| distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
| on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
| this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
| entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
| it. |
| |
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
| your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
| exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
| collective works based on the Library. |
| |
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
| with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
| a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
| the scope of this License. |
| |
| 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
| License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
| this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
| that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
| instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
| ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
| that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
| these notices. |
| |
| Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
| that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
| subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
| |
| This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
| the Library into a program that is not a library. |
| |
| 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
| derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
| under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
| it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
| must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
| medium customarily used for software interchange. |
| |
| If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
| source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
| distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
| |
| 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
| Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
| linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
| work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
| therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
| |
| However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
| creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
| contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
| library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
| Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
| |
| When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
| that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
| derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
| Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
| linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
| threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
| |
| If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
| structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
| functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
| file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
| work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
| Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
| |
| Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
| distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
| Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
| whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
| |
| 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or |
| link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
| work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
| under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
| modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
| engineering for debugging such modifications. |
| |
| You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
| Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
| this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
| during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
| copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
| directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
| of these things: |
| |
| a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
| machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
| changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
| Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
| with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
| uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
| user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
| executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
| that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
| Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
| to use the modified definitions.) |
| |
| b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
| Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a |
| copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, |
| rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) |
| will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if |
| the user installs one, as long as the modified version is |
| interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. |
| |
| c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least |
| three years, to give the same user the materials specified in |
| Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of |
| performing this distribution. |
| |
| d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
| specified materials from the same place. |
| |
| e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
| materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
| |
| For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
| Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
| reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
| the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is |
| normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
| components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
| which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
| the executable. |
| |
| It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
| restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
| accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
| use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
| distribute. |
| |
| 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
| Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
| facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
| library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
| the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
| permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
| |
| a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
| based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
| facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
| Sections above. |
| |
| b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
| that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
| where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
| |
| 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
| the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
| attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
| distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
| rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
| or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
| terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
| |
| 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
| signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
| distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
| prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
| modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
| Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
| all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
| the Library or works based on it. |
| |
| 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
| Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
| original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
| subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
| restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
| You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with |
| this License. |
| |
| 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
| conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
| excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
| distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
| may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
| license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
| all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
| the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
| |
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
| any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
| apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
| circumstances. |
| |
| It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
| patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
| such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
| integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
| implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
| generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
| through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
| to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
| impose that choice. |
| |
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
| be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
| |
| 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
| original copyright holder who places the Library under this License |
| may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those |
| countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
| countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
| the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
| |
| 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
| versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. |
| Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
| but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
| specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
| "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
| conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
| the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
| license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
| the Free Software Foundation. |
| |
| 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
| programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
| write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
| copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
| Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
| decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
| of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
| and reuse of software generally. |
| |
| NO WARRANTY |
| |
| 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
| WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
| EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
| OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
| KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
| IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
| LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
| THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
| WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
| AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
| FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
| CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
| LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
| RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
| FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |
| SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
| DAMAGES. |
| |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries |
| |
| If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that |
| everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting |
| redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms |
| of the ordinary General Public License). |
| |
| To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. |
| It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most |
| effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should |
| have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full |
| notice is found. |
| |
| |
| <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| |
| This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or |
| modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public |
| License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either |
| version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. |
| |
| This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU |
| Lesser General Public License for more details. |
| |
| You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public |
| License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software |
| Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
| |
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or |
| your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, |
| if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
| |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the |
| library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James |
| Random Hacker. |

| GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 3, 29 June 2007 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| |
| This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates |
| the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public |
| License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. |
| |
| 0. Additional Definitions. |
| |
| As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser |
| General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU |
| General Public License. |
| |
| "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, |
| other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. |
| |
| An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided |
| by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. |
| Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode |
| of using an interface provided by the Library. |
| |
| A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an |
| Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library |
| with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked |
| Version". |
| |
| The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the |
| Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code |
| for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are |
| based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. |
| |
| The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the |
| object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data |
| and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the |
| Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. |
| |
| 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. |
| |
| You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License |
| without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. |
| |
| 2. Conveying Modified Versions. |
| |
| If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a |
| facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application |
| that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the |
| facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified |
| version: |
| |
| a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to |
| ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the |
| function or data, the facility still operates, and performs |
| whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or |
| |
| b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of |
| this License applicable to that copy. |
| |
| 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. |
| |
| The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from |
| a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object |
| code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated |
| material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure |
| layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates |
| (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: |
| |
| a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the |
| Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are |
| covered by this License. |
| |
| b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license |
| document. |
| |
| 4. Combined Works. |
| |
| You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, |
| taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the |
| portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse |
| engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of |
| the following: |
| |
| a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that |
| the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are |
| covered by this License. |
| |
| b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license |
| document. |
| |
| c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during |
| execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among |
| these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the |
| copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. |
| |
| d) Do one of the following: |
| |
| 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this |
| License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form |
| suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to |
| recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of |
| the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the |
| manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying |
| Corresponding Source. |
| |
| 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
| Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time |
| a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer |
| system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version |
| of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked |
| Version. |
| |
| e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise |
| be required to provide such information under section 6 of the |
| GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is |
| necessary to install and execute a modified version of the |
| Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the |
| Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If |
| you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany |
| the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application |
| Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation |
| Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL |
| for conveying Corresponding Source.) |
| |
| 5. Combined Libraries. |
| |
| You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
| Library side by side in a single library together with other library |
| facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this |
| License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your |
| choice, if you do both of the following: |
| |
| a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based |
| on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, |
| conveyed under the terms of this License. |
| |
| b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it |
| is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the |
| accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
| |
| 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. |
| |
| The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
| of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new |
| versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may |
| differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
| Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version |
| of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" |
| applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and |
| conditions either of that published version or of any later version |
| published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you |
| received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser |
| General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser |
| General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
| |
| If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide |
| whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall |
| apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is |
| permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the |
| Library. |

| GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION |
| |
| Version 3.1, 31 March 2009 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this |
| license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional |
| permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public License, version |
| 3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to a given file (the "Runtime Library") that |
| bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating that |
| the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception. |
| |
| When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of |
| certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the compiled |
| program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of |
| non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the |
| header files and runtime libraries covered by this Exception. |
| |
| 0. Definitions. |
| |
| A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires the Runtime |
| Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an |
| interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based |
| on the Runtime Library. |
| |
| "GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without |
| modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of |
| the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any |
| subsequent versions published by the FSF. |
| |
| "GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of propagation, |
| modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord with |
| the license of GCC. |
| |
| "Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or virtual |
| target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for |
| input to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution |
| phase. Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any |
| format that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used |
| for producing a compiler intermediate representation. |
| |
| The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in |
| non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in |
| Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example, |
| use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered |
| part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be |
| understood as starting with the output of the generators or |
| preprocessors. |
| |
| A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or |
| with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any |
| work based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to |
| optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an |
| Eligible Compilation Process. |
| |
| 1. Grant of Additional Permission. |
| |
