5 | 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA\r | |
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies\r | |
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.\r | |

9 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts\r | |
10 | as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence\r | |
11 | the version number 2.1.]\r | |
12 | \r | |
13 | Preamble\r | |
14 | \r | |
15 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your\r | |
16 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public\r | |
17 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change\r | |
18 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.\r | |
19 | \r | |
20 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some\r | |
21 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the\r | |
22 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You\r | |
23 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether\r | |
24 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better\r | |
25 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.\r | |
26 | \r | |
27 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,\r | |
28 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that\r | |
29 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge\r | |
30 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get\r | |
31 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of\r | |
32 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do\r | |
33 | these things.\r | |
34 | \r | |
35 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid\r | |
36 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these\r | |
37 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for\r | |
38 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.\r | |
39 | \r | |
40 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis\r | |
41 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave\r | |
42 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source\r | |
43 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide\r | |
44 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them\r | |
45 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling\r | |
46 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.\r | |
47 | \r | |
48 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the\r | |
49 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal\r | |
50 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.\r | |
51 | \r | |
52 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that\r | |
53 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is\r | |
54 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know\r | |
55 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original\r | |
56 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be\r | |
57 | introduced by others.\r | |
58 | \r | |
59 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of\r | |
60 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot\r | |
61 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a\r | |
62 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that\r | |
63 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be\r | |
64 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.\r | |
65 | \r | |
66 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the\r | |
67 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser\r | |
68 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and\r | |
69 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use\r | |
70 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those\r | |
71 | libraries into non-free programs.\r | |
72 | \r | |
73 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using\r | |
74 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a\r | |
75 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary\r | |
76 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the\r | |
77 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General\r | |
78 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with\r | |
79 | the library.\r | |
80 | \r | |
81 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it\r | |
82 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General\r | |
83 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less\r | |
84 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages\r | |
85 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many\r | |
86 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain\r | |
87 | special circumstances.\r | |
88 | \r | |
89 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to\r | |
90 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes\r | |
91 | a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be\r | |
92 | allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free\r | |
93 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this\r | |
94 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free\r | |
95 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.\r | |
96 | \r | |
97 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free\r | |
98 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of\r | |
99 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in\r | |
100 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU\r | |
101 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating\r | |
102 | system.\r | |
103 | \r | |
104 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the\r | |
105 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is\r | |
106 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run\r | |
107 | that program using a modified version of the Library.\r | |
108 | \r | |
109 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and\r | |
110 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a\r | |
111 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The\r | |
112 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must\r | |
113 | be combined with the library in order to run.\r | |
114 | \r | |
115 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE\r | |
116 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION\r | |
117 | \r | |
118 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other\r | |
119 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or\r | |
120 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of\r | |
121 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").\r | |
122 | Each licensee is addressed as "you".\r | |
123 | \r | |
124 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data\r | |
125 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs\r | |
126 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.\r | |
127 | \r | |
128 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work\r | |
129 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the\r | |
130 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under\r | |
131 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a\r | |
132 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated\r | |
133 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is\r | |
134 | included without limitation in the term "modification".)\r | |
135 | \r | |
136 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for\r | |
137 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means\r | |
138 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated\r | |
139 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation\r | |
140 | and installation of the library.\r | |
141 | \r | |
142 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not\r | |
143 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of\r | |
144 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from\r | |
145 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based\r | |
146 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for\r | |
147 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does\r | |
148 | and what the program that uses the Library does.\r | |
149 | \r | |
150 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's\r | |
151 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that\r | |
152 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an\r | |
153 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact\r | |
154 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any\r | |
155 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the\r | |
156 | Library.\r | |
157 | \r | |
158 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,\r | |
159 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a\r | |
160 | fee.\r | |
161 | \r | |
162 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion\r | |
163 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and\r | |
164 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1\r | |
165 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:\r | |
166 | \r | |
167 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library.\r | |
168 | \r | |
169 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices\r | |
170 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.\r | |
171 | \r | |
172 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no\r | |
173 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.\r | |
174 | \r | |
175 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a\r | |
176 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses\r | |
177 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility\r | |
178 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,\r | |
179 | in the event an application does not supply such function or\r | |
180 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of\r | |
181 | its purpose remains meaningful.\r | |
182 | \r | |
183 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has\r | |
184 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the\r | |
185 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any\r | |
186 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must\r | |
187 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square\r | |
188 | root function must still compute square roots.)\r | |
189 | \r | |
190 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If\r | |
191 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,\r | |
192 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in\r | |
193 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those\r | |
194 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you\r | |
195 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based\r | |
196 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of\r | |
197 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the\r | |
198 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote\r | |
199 | it.\r | |
200 | \r | |
201 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest\r | |
202 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to\r | |
203 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or\r | |
204 | collective works based on the Library.\r | |
205 | \r | |
206 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library\r | |
207 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of\r | |
208 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under\r | |
209 | the scope of this License.\r | |
210 | \r | |
211 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public\r | |
212 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do\r | |
213 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so\r | |
214 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,\r | |
215 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the\r | |
216 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify\r | |
217 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in\r | |
218 | these notices.\r | |
219 | \r | |
220 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for\r | |
221 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all\r | |
222 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.\r | |
223 | \r | |
224 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of\r | |
225 | the Library into a program that is not a library.\r | |
226 | \r | |
227 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or\r | |
228 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form\r | |
229 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany\r | |
230 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which\r | |
231 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a\r | |
232 | medium customarily used for software interchange.\r | |
233 | \r | |
234 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy\r | |
235 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the\r | |
236 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to\r | |
237 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not\r | |
238 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code.\r | |
239 | \r | |
240 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the\r | |
241 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or\r | |
242 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a\r | |
243 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and\r | |
244 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License.\r | |
245 | \r | |
246 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library\r | |
247 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it\r | |
248 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the\r | |
249 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.\r | |
250 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.\r | |
251 | \r | |
252 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file\r | |
253 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a\r | |
254 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.\r | |
255 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be\r | |
256 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The\r | |
257 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.\r | |
258 | \r | |
259 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data\r | |
260 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline\r | |
261 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object\r | |
262 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative\r | |
263 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the\r | |
264 | Library will still fall under Section 6.)\r | |
265 | \r | |
266 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may\r | |
267 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.\r | |
268 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,\r | |
269 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.\r | |
270 | \r | |
271 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or\r | |
272 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a\r | |
273 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work\r | |
274 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit\r | |
275 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse\r | |
276 | engineering for debugging such modifications.\r | |
277 | \r | |
278 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the\r | |
279 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by\r | |
280 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work\r | |
281 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the\r | |
282 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference\r | |
283 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one\r | |
284 | of these things:\r | |
285 | \r | |
286 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding\r | |
287 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever\r | |
288 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under\r | |
289 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked\r | |
290 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that\r | |
291 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the\r | |
292 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified\r | |
293 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood\r | |
294 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the\r | |
295 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application\r | |
296 | to use the modified definitions.)\r | |
297 | \r | |
298 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the\r | |
299 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a\r | |
300 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,\r | |
301 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)\r | |
302 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if\r | |
303 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is\r | |
304 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.\r | |
305 | \r | |
306 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at\r | |
307 | least three years, to give the same user the materials\r | |
308 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more\r | |
309 | than the cost of performing this distribution.\r | |
310 | \r | |
311 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy\r | |
312 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above\r | |
313 | specified materials from the same place.\r | |
314 | \r | |
315 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these\r | |
316 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.\r | |
317 | \r | |
318 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the\r | |
319 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for\r | |
320 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,\r | |
321 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is\r | |
322 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major\r | |
323 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on\r | |
324 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies\r | |
325 | the executable.\r | |
326 | \r | |
327 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license\r | |
328 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally\r | |
329 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot\r | |
330 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you\r | |
331 | distribute.\r | |
332 | \r | |
333 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the\r | |
334 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library\r | |
335 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined\r | |
336 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on\r | |
337 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise\r | |
338 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things:\r | |
339 | \r | |
340 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work\r | |
341 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library\r | |
342 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the\r | |
343 | Sections above.\r | |
344 | \r | |
345 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact\r | |
346 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining\r | |
347 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.\r | |
348 | \r | |
349 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute\r | |
350 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any\r | |
351 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or\r | |
352 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your\r | |
353 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,\r | |
354 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses\r | |
355 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.\r | |
356 | \r | |
357 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not\r | |
358 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or\r | |
359 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are\r | |
360 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by\r | |
361 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the\r | |
362 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and\r | |
363 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying\r | |
364 | the Library or works based on it.\r | |
365 | \r | |
366 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the\r | |
367 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the\r | |
368 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library\r | |
369 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further\r | |
370 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.\r | |
371 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with\r | |
372 | this License.\r | |
373 | \r | |
374 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent\r | |
375 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),\r | |
376 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or\r | |
377 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not\r | |
378 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot\r | |
379 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this\r | |
380 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you\r | |
381 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent\r | |
382 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by\r | |
383 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then\r | |
384 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to\r | |
385 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.\r | |
386 | \r | |
387 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any\r | |
388 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,\r | |
389 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.\r | |
390 | \r | |
391 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any\r | |
392 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any\r | |
393 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the\r | |
394 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is\r | |
395 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made\r | |
396 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed\r | |
397 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that\r | |
398 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing\r | |
399 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot\r | |
400 | impose that choice.\r | |
401 | \r | |
402 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to\r | |
403 | be a consequence of the rest of this License.\r | |
404 | \r | |
405 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in\r | |
406 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the\r | |
407 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add\r | |
408 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,\r | |
409 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus\r | |
410 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if\r | |
411 | written in the body of this License.\r | |
412 | \r | |
413 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new\r | |
414 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.\r | |
415 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,\r | |
416 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.\r | |
417 | \r | |
418 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library\r | |
419 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and\r | |
420 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and\r | |
421 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by\r | |
422 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a\r | |
423 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by\r | |
424 | the Free Software Foundation.\r | |
425 | \r | |
426 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free\r | |
427 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,\r | |
428 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is\r | |
429 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free\r | |
430 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our\r | |
431 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status\r | |
432 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing\r | |
433 | and reuse of software generally.\r | |
434 | \r | |
435 | NO WARRANTY\r | |
436 | \r | |
437 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO\r | |
438 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.\r | |
439 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR\r | |
440 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY\r | |
441 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE\r | |
442 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR\r | |
443 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE\r | |
444 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME\r | |
445 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.\r | |
446 | \r | |
447 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN\r | |
448 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY\r | |
449 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU\r | |
450 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR\r | |
451 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE\r | |
452 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING\r | |
453 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A\r | |
454 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF\r | |
455 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH\r | |
456 | DAMAGES.\r | |
457 | \r | |
458 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS\r | |
459 | \r | |
460 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries\r | |
461 | \r | |
462 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest\r | |
463 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that\r | |
464 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting\r | |
465 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the\r | |
466 | ordinary General Public License).\r | |
467 | \r | |
468 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is\r | |
469 | safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively\r | |
470 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the\r | |
471 | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.\r | |
472 | \r | |
473 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>\r | |
474 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>\r | |
475 | \r | |
476 | This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or\r | |
477 | modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public\r | |
478 | License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either\r | |
479 | version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.\r | |
480 | \r | |
481 | This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,\r | |
482 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of\r | |
483 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU\r | |
484 | Lesser General Public License for more details.\r | |
485 | \r | |
486 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public\r | |
487 | License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software\r | |
488 | Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA\r | |
489 | \r | |
490 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.\r | |
491 | \r | |
492 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your\r | |
493 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if\r | |
494 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:\r | |
495 | \r | |
496 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the\r | |
497 | library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.\r | |
