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. |
