  27. <br>Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  28. <br>59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
  29. <br>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of
  30. this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  31. <br>[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is
  32. numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]</p>
  33. <p><b>Preamble</b></p>
  34. <p>The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
  35. to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses
  36. are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
  37. software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.</p>
  38. <p>This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
  39. specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
  40. other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
  41. your libraries, too.</p>
  42. <p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,
  43. not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure
  44. that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software
  45. (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive
  46. source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
  47. the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
  48. you know you can do these things.</p>
  49. <p>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
  50. forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
  51. surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
  52. responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
  53. library, or if you modify it.</p>
  54. <p>For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether
  55. gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights
  56. that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or
  57. can get the source code. If you link a program with the library,
  58. you must provide complete object files to the recipients so that
  59. they can relink them with the library, after making changes to
  60. the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these
  61. terms so they know their rights.</p>
  62. <p>Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1)
  63. copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which
  64. gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
  65. library.</p>
  66. <p>Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make
  67. certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for
  68. this free library. If the library is modified by someone else
  69. and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they
  70. have is not the original version, so that any problems
  71. introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
  72. reputations.</p>
  73. <p>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
  74. software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies
  75. distributing free software will individually obtain patent
  76. licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into
  77. proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear
  78. that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
  79. licensed at all.</p>
  80. <p>Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by
  81. the ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for
  82. utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public
  83. License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license
  84. is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in
  85. full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the
  86. ordinary license.</p>
  87. <p>The reason we have a separate public license for some
  88. libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make
  89. between modifying or adding to a program and simply using it.
  90. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library,
  91. is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to
  92. running a utility program or application program. However, in a
  93. textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined
  94. work, a derivative of the original library, and the ordinary
  95. General Public License treats it as such.</p>
  96. <p>Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary
  97. General Public License for libraries did not effectively promote
  98. software sharing, because most developers did not use the
  99. libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote
  100. sharing better.</p>
  101. <p>However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would
  102. deprive the users of those programs of all benefit from the free
  103. status of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public
  104. License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to
  105. use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of
  106. such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated
  107. in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards
  108. changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
  109. changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is
  110. that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.</p>
  111. <p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
  112. and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference
  113. between a &quot;work based on the libary&quot; and a &quot;work
  114. that uses the library&quot;. The former contains code derived
  115. from the library, while the latter only works together with the
  116. library.</p>
  117. <p>Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the
  118. ordinary General Public License rather than by this special
  119. one.</p>
  120. <p align='center'><b>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
  121. DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</b></p>
  122. <p><strong>0.</strong> This License Agreement applies to any
  123. software library which contains a notice placed by the copyright
  124. holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed
  125. under the terms of this Library General Public License (also
  126. called &quot;this License&quot;). Each licensee is addressed as
  127. &quot;you&quot;.
  128. <p>A &quot;library&quot; means a collection of software
  129. functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked
  130. with application programs (which use some of those functions and
  131. data) to form executables.</p>
  132. <p>The &quot;Library&quot;, below, refers to any such software
  133. library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A
  134. &quot;work based on the Library&quot; means either the Library
  135. or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
  136. work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim
  137. or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into
  138. another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
  139. limitation in the term &quot;modification&quot;.)</p>
  140. <p>&quot;Source code&quot; for a work means the preferred form
  141. of the work for making modifications to it. For a library,
  142. complete source code means all the source code for all modules
  143. it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
  144. plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
  145. the library.</p>
  146. <p>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
  147. are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
  148. act of running a program using the Library is not restricted,
  149. and output from such a program is covered only if its contents
  150. constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use
  151. of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true
  152. depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses
  153. the Library does.</p>
  154. <p><strong>1.</strong> You may copy and distribute verbatim
  155. copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it,
  156. in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
  157. publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
  158. disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer
  159. to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and
  160. distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.</p>
  161. <p>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
  162. copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
  163. exchange for a fee.</p>
  164. <p><strong>2.</strong> You may modify your copy or copies of the
  165. Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
  166. Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work
  167. under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet
  168. all of these conditions:</p>
  169. <ul>
  170. <p><strong>a)</strong> The modified work must itself be
  171. a software library.
  172. <p><strong>b)</strong> You must cause the files modified
  173. to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
  174. files and the date of any change.</p>
  175. <p><strong>c)</strong> You must cause the whole of the
  176. work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties
  177. under the terms of this License.</p>
  178. <p><strong>d)</strong> If a facility in the modified
  179. Library refers to a function or a table of data to be
  180. supplied by an application program that uses the
  181. facility, other than as an argument passed when the
  182. facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith
  183. effort to ensure that, in the event an application does
  184. not supply such function or table, the facility still
  185. operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose
  186. remains meaningful.</p>
  187. <p>(For example, a function in a library to compute
  188. square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined
  189. independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d
  190. requires that any application-supplied function or table
  191. used by this function must be optional: if the
  192. application does not supply it, the square root function
  193. must still compute square roots.)</p>
  194. </ul>
  195. <p>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  196. identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
  197. Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and
  198. separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
  199. do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
  200. separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as
  201. part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the
  202. distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
  203. whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
  204. whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
  205. it.</p>
  206. <p>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
  207. contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the
  208. intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
  209. derivative or collective works based on the Library.</p>
  210. <p>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
  211. the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the
  212. Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does
  213. not bring the other work under the scope of this License.</p>
  214. <p><strong>3.</strong> You may opt to apply the terms of the
  215. ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a
  216. given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the
  217. notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the
  218. ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to
  219. this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary
  220. GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
  221. that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change
  222. in these notices.</p>
  223. <p>Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible
  224. for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License
  225. applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from
  226. that copy.</p>
  227. <p>This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code
  228. of the Library into a program that is not a library.</p>
  229. <p><strong>4.</strong> You may copy and distribute the Library
  230. (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object
  231. code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
  232. above provided that you accompany it with the complete
  233. corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be
  234. distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
  235. medium customarily used for software interchange.</p>
  236. <p>If distribution of object code is made by offering access to
  237. copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to
  238. copy the source code from the same place satisfies the
  239. requirement to distribute the source code, even though third
  240. parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
  241. object code.</p>
  242. <p><strong>5.</strong> A program that contains no derivative of
  243. any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the
  244. Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a
  245. &quot;work that uses the Library&quot;. Such a work, in
  246. isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
  247. therefore falls outside the scope of this License.</p>
  248. <p>However, linking a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot;
  249. with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of
  250. the Library (because it contains portions of the Library),
  251. rather than a &quot;work that uses the library&quot;. The
  252. executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6
  253. states terms for distribution of such executables.</p>
  254. <p>When a &quot;work that uses the Library&quot; uses material
  255. from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code
  256. for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though
  257. the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially
  258. significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if
  259. the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true
  260. is not precisely defined by law.</p>
  261. <p>If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
  262. structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small
  263. inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of
  264. the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is
  265. legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object
  266. code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section
  267. 6.)</p>
  268. <p>Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you
  269. may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of
  270. Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under
  271. Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the
  272. Library itself.</p>
  273. <p><strong>6.</strong> As an exception to the Sections above,
  274. you may also compile or link a &quot;work that uses the
  275. Library&quot; with the Library to produce a work containing
  276. portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of
  277. your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the
  278. work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for
  279. debugging such modifications.</p>
  280. <p>You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work
  281. that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use
  282. are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this
  283. License. If the work during execution displays copyright
  284. notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library
  285. among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the
  286. copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:</p>
  287. <ul>
  288. <strong>a)</strong> Accompany the work with the complete
  289. corresponding machine-readable source code for the
  290. Library including whatever changes were used in the work
  291. (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2
  292. above); and, if the work is an executable linked with
  293. the Library, with the complete machine-readable
  294. &quot;work that uses the Library&quot;, as object code
  295. and/or source code, so that the user can modify the
  296. Library and then relink to produce a modified executable
  297. containing the modified Library. (It is understood that
  298. the user who changes the contents of definitions files
  299. in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile
  300. the application to use the modified definitions.)
  301. <p><strong>b)</strong> Accompany the work with a written
  302. offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same
  303. user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above,
  304. for a charge no more than the cost of performing this
  305. distribution.</p>
  306. <p><strong>c)</strong> If distribution of the work is
  307. made by offering access to copy from a designated place,
  308. offer equivalent access to copy the above specified
  309. materials from the same place.</p>
  310. <p><strong>d)</strong> Verify that the user has already
  311. received a copy of these materials or that you have
  312. already sent this user a copy.</p>
  313. </ul>
  314. <p>For an executable, the required form of the &quot;work that
  315. uses the Library&quot; must include any data and utility
  316. programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However,
  317. as a special exception, the source code distributed need not
  318. include anything that is normally distributed (in either source
  319. or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
  320. so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs,
  321. unless that component itself accompanies the executable.</p>
  322. <p>It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
  323. restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
  324. accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you
  325. cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable
  326. that you distribute.</p>
  327. <p><strong>7.</strong> You may place library facilities that are
  328. a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library
  329. together with other library facilities not covered by this
  330. License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that
  331. the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and
  332. of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and
  333. provided that you do these two things:</p>
  334. <ul>
  335. <strong>a)</strong> Accompany the combined library with
  336. a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined
  337. with any other library facilities. This must be
  338. distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
  339. <p><strong>b)</strong> Give prominent notice with the
  340. combined library of the fact that part of it is a work
  341. based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
  342. accompanying uncombined form of the same work.</p>
  343. </ul>
  344. <p><strong>8.</strong> You may not copy, modify, sublicense,
  345. link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly
  346. provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
  347. modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is
  348. void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
  349. License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
  350. from you under this License will not have their licenses
  351. terminated so long as such parties remain in full
  352. compliance.</p>
  353. <p><strong>9.</strong> You are not required to accept this
  354. License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else
  355. grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its
  356. derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
  357. not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing
  358. the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate
  359. your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
  360. conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or
  361. works based on it.</p>
  362. <p><strong>10.</strong> Each time you redistribute the Library
  363. (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically
  364. receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
  365. distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these
  366. terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
  367. restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
  368. herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
  369. third parties to this License.</p>
  370. <p><strong>11.</strong> If, as a consequence of a court judgment
  371. or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason
  372. (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
  373. (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict
  374. the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
  375. conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
  376. satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
  377. any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
  378. not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
  379. license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
  380. Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
  381. through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and
  382. this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of
  383. the Library.</p>
  384. <p>If any portion of this section is held invalid or
  385. unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of
  386. the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is
  387. intended to apply in other circumstances.</p>
  388. <p>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
  389. infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
  390. contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole
  391. purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
  392. distribution system which is implemented by public license
  393. practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the
  394. wide range of software distributed through that system in
  395. reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
  396. the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
  397. software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
  398. that choice.</p>
  399. <p>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
  400. believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.</p>
  401. <p><strong>12.</strong> If the distribution and/or use of the
  402. Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or
  403. by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
  404. places the Library under this License may add an explicit
  405. geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
  406. so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not
  407. thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
  408. limitation as if written in the body of this License.</p>
  409. <p><strong>13.</strong> The Free Software Foundation may publish
  410. revised and/or new versions of the Library General Public
  411. License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
  412. spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
  413. address new problems or concerns.</p>
  414. <p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
  415. Library specifies a version number of this License which applies
  416. to it and &quot;any later version&quot;, you have the option of
  417. following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
  418. any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
  419. the Library does not specify a license version number, you may
  420. choose any version ever published by the Free Software
  421. Foundation.</p>
  422. <p><strong>14.</strong> If you wish to incorporate parts of the
  423. Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions
  424. are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
  425. permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  426. Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
  427. sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided
  428. by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
  429. derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
  430. and reuse of software generally.</p>
  431. <p align='center'><b>NO WARRANTY</b></p>
  432. <p><strong>15.</strong> BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF
  433. CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT
  434. PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
  435. WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
  436. LIBRARY &quot;AS IS&quot; WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
  437. EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
  438. WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
  439. PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
  440. THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
  441. ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
  442. CORRECTION.</p>
  443. <p><strong>16.</strong> IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY
  444. APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
  445. HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
  446. THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
  447. INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
  448. DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY
  449. (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
  450. RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES
  451. OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE),
  452. EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
  453. POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</p>
  454. <p align='center'><b>END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS</b></p>
  455. <p><b>How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries</b></p>
  456. <p>If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the
  457. greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free
  458. software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so
  459. by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively,
  460. under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).
  461. <p>To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the
  462. library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source
  463. file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each
  464. file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to
  465. where the full notice is found.
  466. <ul>
  467. <p><var>one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it
  468. does.</var><br>
  469. Copyright (C) <var>year</var> <var>name of author</var>
  470. <p>This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
  471. modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License
  472. as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of
  473. the License, or (at your option) any later version.
  474. <p>This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  475. but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  476. MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
  477. Lesser General Public License for more details.
  478. <p>You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
  479. License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software

  483. <p>Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
  484. <p>You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)
  485. or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
  486. library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
