|
|
|
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. |
