| 1 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 2 Version 3, 29 June 2007 | |
| 3 | |
| 4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | |
| 5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates | |
| 10 the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public | |
| 11 License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 0. Additional Definitions. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser | |
| 16 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU | |
| 17 General Public License. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, | |
| 20 other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided | |
| 23 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. | |
| 24 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode | |
| 25 of using an interface provided by the Library. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an | |
| 28 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library | |
| 29 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked | |
| 30 Version". | |
| 31 | |
| 32 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the | |
| 33 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code | |
| 34 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are | |
| 35 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the | |
| 38 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data | |
| 39 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the | |
| 40 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License | |
| 45 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 2. Conveying Modified Versions. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a | |
| 50 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application | |
| 51 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the | |
| 52 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified | |
| 53 version: | |
| 54 | |
| 55 a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to | |
| 56 ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the | |
| 57 function or data, the facility still operates, and performs | |
| 58 whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or | |
| 59 | |
| 60 b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of | |
| 61 this License applicable to that copy. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. | |
| 64 | |
| 65 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from | |
| 66 a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object | |
| 67 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated | |
| 68 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure | |
| 69 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates | |
| 70 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: | |
| 71 | |
| 72 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the | |
| 73 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | |
| 74 covered by this License. | |
| 75 | |
| 76 b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | |
| 77 document. | |
| 78 | |
| 79 4. Combined Works. | |
| 80 | |
| 81 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, | |
| 82 taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the | |
| 83 portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse | |
| 84 engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of | |
| 85 the following: | |
| 86 | |
| 87 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that | |
| 88 the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | |
| 89 covered by this License. | |
| 90 | |
| 91 b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | |
| 92 document. | |
| 93 | |
| 94 c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during | |
| 95 execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among | |
| 96 these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the | |
| 97 copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. | |
| 98 | |
| 99 d) Do one of the following: | |
| 100 | |
| 101 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this | |
| 102 License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form | |
| 103 suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to | |
| 104 recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of | |
| 105 the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the | |
| 106 manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying | |
| 107 Corresponding Source. | |
| 108 | |
| 109 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | |
| 110 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time | |
| 111 a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer | |
| 112 system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version | |
| 113 of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked | |
| 114 Version. | |
| 115 | |
| 116 e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise | |
| 117 be required to provide such information under section 6 of the | |
| 118 GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is | |
| 119 necessary to install and execute a modified version of the | |
| 120 Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the | |
| 121 Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If | |
| 122 you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany | |
| 123 the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application | |
| 124 Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation | |
| 125 Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL | |
| 126 for conveying Corresponding Source.) | |
| 127 | |
| 128 5. Combined Libraries. | |
| 129 | |
| 130 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | |
| 131 Library side by side in a single library together with other library | |
| 132 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this | |
| 133 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your | |
| 134 choice, if you do both of the following: | |
| 135 | |
| 136 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based | |
| 137 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, | |
| 138 conveyed under the terms of this License. | |
| 139 | |
| 140 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it | |
| 141 is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the | |
| 142 accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | |
| 143 | |
| 144 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. | |
| 145 | |
| 146 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
| 147 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new | |
| 148 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
| 149 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
| 150 | |
| 151 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | |
| 152 Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version | |
| 153 of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" | |
| 154 applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and | |
| 155 conditions either of that published version or of any later version | |
| 156 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you | |
| 157 received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser | |
| 158 General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser | |
| 159 General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. | |
| 160 | |
| 161 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide | |
| 162 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall | |
| 163 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is | |
| 164 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the | |
| 165 Library. |
