9 Version 3, 29 June 2007
10
11 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
12 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
13 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
14
15 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
16 the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
17 License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
18
19 0. Additional Definitions.
20
21 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
22 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
23 General Public License.
24
25 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
26 other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
27
28 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
29 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
30 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
31 of using an interface provided by the Library.
32
33 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
34 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
35 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
36 Version".
37
38 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
39 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
40 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
41 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
42
43 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
44 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
45 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
46 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
47
48 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
49
50 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
51 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
52
53 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
54
55 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
56 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
57 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
58 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
59 version:
60
61 a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
62 ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
63 function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
64 whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
65
66 b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
67 this License applicable to that copy.
68
69 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
70
71 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
72 a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
73 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
74 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
75 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
76 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
77
78 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
79 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
80 covered by this License.
81
82 b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
83 document.
84
85 4. Combined Works.
86
87 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
88 taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
89 portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
90 engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
91 the following:
92
93 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
94 the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
95 covered by this License.
96
97 b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
98 document.
99
100 c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
101 execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
102 these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
103 copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
104
105 d) Do one of the following:
106
107 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
108 License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
109 suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
110 recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
111 the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
112 manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
113 Corresponding Source.
114
115 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
116 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
117 a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
118 system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
119 of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
120 Version.
121
122 e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
123 be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
124 GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
125 necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
126 Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
127 Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
128 you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
129 the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
130 Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
131 Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
132 for conveying Corresponding Source.)
133
134 5. Combined Libraries.
135
136 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
137 Library side by side in a single library together with other library
138 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
139 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
140 choice, if you do both of the following:
141
142 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
143 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
144 conveyed under the terms of this License.
145
146 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
147 is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
148 accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
149
150 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
151
152 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
153 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
154 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
155 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
156
157 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
158 Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
159 of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
160 applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
161 conditions either of that published version or of any later version
162 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
163 received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
164 General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
165 General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
166
167 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
168 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
169 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
170 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
171 Library.
