933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	17 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	20 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	21 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	22 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	23 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	24 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	25 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	26
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	27 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	28 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	29 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	30 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	31 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	32 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	33 these things.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	34
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	35 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	36 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	37 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	38 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	39
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	40 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	41 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	42 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	43 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	44 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	45 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	46 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	47
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	48 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	49 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	50 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	51
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	52 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	53 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	54 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	55 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	56 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	57 introduced by others.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	58
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	59 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	60 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	61 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	62 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	63 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	64 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	65
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	66 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	67 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	68 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	69 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	70 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	71 libraries into non-free programs.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	72
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	73 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	74 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	75 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	76 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	77 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	78 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	79 the library.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	80
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	81 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	82 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	83 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	84 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	85 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	86 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	87 special circumstances.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	88
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	89 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	90 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	91 a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	92 allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	93 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	94 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	95 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	96
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	97 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	98 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	99 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	100 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	101 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	102 system.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	103
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	104 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	105 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	106 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	107 that program using a modified version of the Library.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	108
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	109 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	110 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	111 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	112 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	113 be combined with the library in order to run.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	175 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	178 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	179 in the event an application does not supply such function or

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	183 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	184 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	186 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	187 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	190 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	191 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	192 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	193 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	194 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	195 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	196 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	201 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	202 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	203 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	211 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	212 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	213 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	214 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	215 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	216 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	217 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	218 these notices.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	219
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	220 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	221 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	222 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	223
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	224 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	225 the Library into a program that is not a library.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	227 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	228 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	229 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	230 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	231 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	232 medium customarily used for software interchange.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	233
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	234 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	235 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	236 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	237 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	238 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	240 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	241 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	242 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	243 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	244 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	245
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	246 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	247 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	248 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	249 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	250 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	251
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	252 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	253 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	254 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	255 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	256 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	257 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	259 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	266 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	267 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	268 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	274 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	275 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	278 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	283 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	284 of these things:

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	299 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	300 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	301 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	302 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	303 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	304 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	305
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	306 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	307 least three years, to give the same user the materials
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	308 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	309 than the cost of performing this distribution.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	310
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	311 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	312 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	313 specified materials from the same place.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	314
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	315 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	316 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	318 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	319 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	320 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	321 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	322 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	323 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	324 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	325 the executable.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	326
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	327 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	328 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	329 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	330 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	331 distribute.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	332
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	333 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	334 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	335 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	336 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	337 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	338 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	339
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	340 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	341 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	342 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	343 Sections above.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	344
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	345 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	346 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	347 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	348
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	349 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	350 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	351 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	352 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	353 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	354 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	355 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	356
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	357 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	358 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	359 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	360 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	361 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	362 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	363 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	364 the Library or works based on it.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	365
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	366 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	367 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	368 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	369 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	370 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	371 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	372 this License.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	373
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	374 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	375 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	376 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	377 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	378 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	379 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	380 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	381 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	382 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	383 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	384 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	385 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	386
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	387 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	388 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	389 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	391 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	392 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	393 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	394 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	395 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	396 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	397 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	399 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	400 impose that choice.

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	402 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	405 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	406 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	407 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	408 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	409 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	410 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if

933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	418 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
933bbc9fc11f Added license file and license headers. Ingo Weinzierl <ingo.weinzierl@intevation.de> parents: diff changeset	419 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
