| 33 | | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if |
|---|
| 34 | | you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. |
|---|
| 35 | | |
|---|
| 36 | | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
|---|
| 37 | | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
|---|
| 38 | | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
|---|
| 39 | | code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide |
|---|
| 40 | | complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them |
|---|
| 41 | | with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling |
|---|
| 42 | | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
|---|
| 43 | | |
|---|
| 44 | | Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright |
|---|
| 45 | | the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal |
|---|
| 46 | | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
|---|
| 47 | | |
|---|
| 48 | | Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain |
|---|
| | 30 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
|---|
| | 31 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
|---|
| | 32 | |
|---|
| | 33 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
|---|
| | 34 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
|---|
| | 35 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
|---|
| | 36 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
|---|
| | 37 | rights. |
|---|
| | 38 | |
|---|
| | 39 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
|---|
| | 40 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
|---|
| | 41 | distribute and/or modify the software. |
|---|
| | 42 | |
|---|
| | 43 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
|---|
| 56 | | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free |
|---|
| 57 | | software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect |
|---|
| 58 | | transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, |
|---|
| 59 | | we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's |
|---|
| 60 | | free use or not licensed at all. |
|---|
| 61 | | |
|---|
| 62 | | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary |
|---|
| 63 | | GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This |
|---|
| 64 | | license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain |
|---|
| 65 | | designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary |
|---|
| 66 | | one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is |
|---|
| 67 | | the same as in the ordinary license. |
|---|
| 68 | | |
|---|
| 69 | | The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that |
|---|
| 70 | | they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a |
|---|
| 71 | | program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without |
|---|
| 72 | | changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is |
|---|
| 73 | | analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in |
|---|
| 74 | | a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a |
|---|
| 75 | | derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License |
|---|
| 76 | | treats it as such. |
|---|
| 77 | | |
|---|
| 78 | | Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General |
|---|
| 79 | | Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software |
|---|
| 80 | | sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We |
|---|
| 81 | | concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. |
|---|
| 82 | | |
|---|
| 83 | | However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the |
|---|
| 84 | | users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the |
|---|
| 85 | | libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to |
|---|
| 86 | | permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while |
|---|
| 87 | | preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free |
|---|
| 88 | | libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve |
|---|
| 89 | | this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards |
|---|
| 90 | | changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this |
|---|
| 91 | | will lead to faster development of free libraries. |
|---|
| | 51 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
|---|
| | 52 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
|---|
| | 53 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
|---|
| | 54 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
|---|
| 105 | | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which |
|---|
| 106 | | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized |
|---|
| 107 | | party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library |
|---|
| 108 | | General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is |
|---|
| 109 | | addressed as "you". |
|---|
| 110 | | |
|---|
| 111 | | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
|---|
| 112 | | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
|---|
| 113 | | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
|---|
| 114 | | |
|---|
| 115 | | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
|---|
| 116 | | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
|---|
| 117 | | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
|---|
| 118 | | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
|---|
| 119 | | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
|---|
| 120 | | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
|---|
| 121 | | included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
|---|
| 122 | | |
|---|
| 123 | | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|---|
| 124 | | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
|---|
| 125 | | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
|---|
| 126 | | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
|---|
| 127 | | and installation of the library. |
|---|
| 128 | | |
|---|
| 129 | | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|---|
| | 62 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
|---|
| | 63 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
|---|
| | 64 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
|---|
| | 65 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
|---|
| | 66 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
|---|
| | 67 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
|---|
| | 68 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
|---|
| | 69 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
|---|
| | 70 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
|---|
| | 71 | |
|---|
| | 72 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|---|
| 131 | | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
|---|
| 132 | | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
|---|
| 133 | | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
|---|
| 134 | | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
|---|
| 135 | | and what the program that uses the Library does. |
|---|
| 136 | | |
|---|
| 137 | | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
|---|
| 138 | | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
|---|
| 139 | | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
|---|
| 140 | | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
|---|
| 141 | | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
|---|
| 142 | | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
|---|
| 143 | | Library. |
|---|
| 144 | | |
|---|
| 145 | | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
|---|
| 146 | | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
|---|
| 147 | | fee. |
|---|
| 148 | | |
|---|
| 149 | | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
|---|
| 150 | | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
|---|
| | 74 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
|---|
| | 75 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
|---|
| | 76 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
|---|
| | 77 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|---|
| | 78 | |
|---|
| | 79 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
|---|
| | 80 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
|---|
| | 81 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
|---|
| | 82 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
|---|
| | 83 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
|---|
| | 84 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
|---|
| | 85 | along with the Program. |
|---|
| | 86 | |
|---|
| | 87 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
|---|
| | 88 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
|---|
| | 89 | |
|---|
| | 90 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
|---|
| | 91 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
|---|
| 159 | | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
|---|
| 160 | | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
|---|
| 161 | | |
|---|
| 162 | | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
|---|
| 163 | | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
|---|
| 164 | | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
|---|
| 165 | | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
|---|
| 166 | | in the event an application does not supply such function or |
|---|
| 167 | | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
|---|
| 168 | | its purpose remains meaningful. |
|---|
| 169 | | |
|---|
| 170 | | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
|---|
| 171 | | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
|---|
| 172 | | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
|---|
| 173 | | application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
|---|
| 174 | | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
|---|
| 175 | | root function must still compute square roots.) |
|---|
| 176 | | |
|---|
| | 98 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
|---|
| | 99 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
|---|
| | 100 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
|---|
| | 101 | parties under the terms of this License. |
|---|
| | 102 | |
|---|
| | 103 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
|---|
| | 104 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
|---|
| | 105 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
|---|
| | 106 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
|---|
| | 107 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
|---|
| | 108 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
|---|
| | 109 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
|---|
| | 110 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
|---|
| | 111 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
|---|
| | 112 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
|---|
| | 113 | |
|---|
| 198 | | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
|---|
| 199 | | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
|---|
| 200 | | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
|---|
| 201 | | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
|---|
| 202 | | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
|---|
| 203 | | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
|---|
| 204 | | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
|---|
| 205 | | these notices. |
|---|
| 206 | | |
|---|
| 207 | | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
|---|
| 208 | | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
|---|
| 209 | | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
|---|
| 210 | | |
|---|
| 211 | | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
|---|
| 212 | | the Library into a program that is not a library. |
|---|
| 213 | | |
|---|
| 214 | | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
|---|
| 215 | | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
|---|
| 216 | | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
|---|
| 217 | | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
|---|
| 218 | | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
|---|
| 219 | | medium customarily used for software interchange. |
|---|
| 220 | | |
|---|
| 221 | | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
|---|
| 222 | | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
|---|
| 223 | | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
|---|
| 224 | | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
|---|
| | 134 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
|---|
| | 135 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
|---|
| | 136 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
|---|
| | 137 | |
|---|
| | 138 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
|---|
| | 139 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
|---|
| | 140 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|---|
| | 141 | |
|---|
| | 142 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
|---|
| | 143 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
|---|
| | 144 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
|---|
| | 145 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
|---|
| | 146 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
|---|
| | 147 | customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|---|
| | 148 | |
|---|
| | 149 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
|---|
| | 150 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
|---|
| | 151 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
|---|
| | 152 | received the program in object code or executable form with such |
|---|
| | 153 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
|---|
| | 154 | |
|---|
| | 155 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|---|
| | 156 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
|---|
| | 157 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
|---|
| | 158 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
|---|
| | 159 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
|---|
| | 160 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
|---|
| | 161 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
|---|
| | 162 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
|---|
| | 163 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|---|
| | 164 | itself accompanies the executable. |
|---|
| | 165 | |
|---|
| | 166 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
|---|
| | 167 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
|---|
| | 168 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
|---|
| | 169 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
|---|
| 226 | | |
|---|
| 227 | | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
|---|
| 228 | | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
|---|
| 229 | | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
|---|
| 230 | | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
|---|
| 231 | | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
|---|
| 232 | | |
|---|
| 233 | | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
|---|
| 234 | | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
|---|
| 235 | | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
|---|
| 236 | | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
|---|
| 237 | | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
|---|
| 238 | | |
|---|
| 239 | | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
|---|
| 240 | | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
|---|
| 241 | | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
|---|
| 242 | | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
|---|
| 243 | | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
|---|
| 244 | | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
|---|
| 245 | | |
|---|
| 246 | | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
|---|
| 247 | | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
|---|
| 248 | | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
|---|
| 249 | | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
|---|
| 250 | | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
|---|
| 251 | | Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
|---|
| 252 | | |
|---|
| 253 | | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
|---|
| 254 | | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
|---|
| 255 | | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
|---|
| 256 | | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
|---|
| 257 | | |
|---|
| 258 | | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or |
|---|
| 259 | | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
|---|
| 260 | | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
|---|
| 261 | | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
|---|
| 262 | | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
|---|
| 263 | | engineering for debugging such modifications. |
|---|
| 264 | | |
|---|
| 265 | | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
|---|
| 266 | | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
|---|
| 267 | | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
|---|
| 268 | | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
|---|
| 269 | | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
|---|
| 270 | | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
|---|
| 271 | | of these things: |
|---|
| 272 | | |
|---|
| 273 | | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
|---|
| 274 | | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
|---|
| 275 | | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
|---|
| 276 | | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
|---|
| 277 | | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
|---|
| 278 | | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
|---|
| 279 | | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
|---|
| 280 | | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
|---|
| 281 | | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
|---|
| 282 | | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
|---|
| 283 | | to use the modified definitions.) |
|---|
| 284 | | |
|---|
| 285 | | b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
|---|
| 286 | | least three years, to give the same user the materials |
|---|
| 287 | | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
|---|
| 288 | | than the cost of performing this distribution. |
|---|
| 289 | | |
|---|
| 290 | | c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
|---|
| 291 | | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
|---|
| 292 | | specified materials from the same place. |
|---|
| 293 | | |
|---|
| 294 | | d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
|---|
| 295 | | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
|---|
| 296 | | |
|---|
| 297 | | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
|---|
| 298 | | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
|---|
| 299 | | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
|---|
| 300 | | the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally |
|---|
| 301 | | distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
|---|
| 302 | | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
|---|
| 303 | | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
|---|
| 304 | | the executable. |
|---|
| 305 | | |
|---|
| 306 | | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
|---|
| 307 | | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
|---|
| 308 | | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
|---|
| 309 | | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
|---|
| 310 | | distribute. |
|---|
| 311 | | |
|---|
| 312 | | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
|---|
| 313 | | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
|---|
| 314 | | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
|---|
| 315 | | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
|---|
| 316 | | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
|---|
| 317 | | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
|---|
| 318 | | |
|---|
| 319 | | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
|---|
| 320 | | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
|---|
| 321 | | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
|---|
| 322 | | Sections above. |
|---|
