31
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29
32
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
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
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.
43
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
33
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
34
you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
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.
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.
48
Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
44
49
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
50
library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
51
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
52
version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
53
the original authors' reputations.
50
55
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
56
93
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
94
modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
95
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
96
former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
97
works together with the library.

General Public License rather than by this special one.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
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".
72
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
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
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.
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".)
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.
129
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73
130
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
92
151
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93
152
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
95
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
154
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
156
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
96
157
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.)
114
177
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
115
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
178
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
116
179
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117
180
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118
181
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
119
182
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
183
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

122
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
185
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125

your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126
190
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127
collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
194
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
131
195
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132
196
the scope of this License.
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:
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,
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,
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.)
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
170
225
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
172
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
174
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178
parties remain in full compliance.
180
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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:
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
324
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
325
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
326
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
328
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
329
the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
330
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
331
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
332
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
333
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
334
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
336
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181
337
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
338
distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
183
339
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
184
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
340
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
341
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186
342
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187
the Program or works based on it.
343
the Library or works based on it.
189
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
345
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
346
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
347
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
348
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
193
349
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194
350
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198
354
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199
355
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200
356
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201
357
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
202
358
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203
359
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
205
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
360
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
361
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
206
362
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207
363
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
364
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any

370
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any

integrity of the free software distribution system which is
219

implemented by public license practices. Many people have made

generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed

may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
284
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
288
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
289
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
293
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
439
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
441
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
442
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
443
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
444
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
445
ordinary General Public License).
447
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
448
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
449
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
450
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
312
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313
when it starts in an interactive mode:
315
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
320
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
322
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
325
471
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
472
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
327
473
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339
Public License instead of this License.
481
That's all there is to it!
