Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this |
| 9 |
license document, but changing it is not allowed. |

|
| 11 |
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the |
| 12 |
terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, |
| 13 |
supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
#### 0. Additional Definitions. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser |
| 18 |
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the |
| 19 |
GNU General Public License. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, other |
| 22 |
than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided |
| 25 |
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. |
| 26 |
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode |
| 27 |
of using an interface provided by the Library. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an |
| 30 |
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library |
| 31 |
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked |
| 32 |
Version". |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the |
| 35 |
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code |
| 36 |
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are |
| 37 |
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the |
| 40 |
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data |
| 41 |
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the |
| 42 |
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
#### 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License |
| 47 |
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
#### 2. Conveying Modified Versions. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a |
| 52 |
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application |
| 53 |
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the |
| 54 |
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified |
| 55 |
version: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
- a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort |
| 58 |
to ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the |
| 59 |
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs |
| 60 |
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or |
| 61 |
- b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of |
| 62 |
this License applicable to that copy. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
#### 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a |
| 67 |
header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object |
| 68 |
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated |
| 69 |
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure |
| 70 |
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates |
| 71 |
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
- a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that |
| 74 |
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are |
| 75 |
covered by this License. |
| 76 |
- b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this |
| 77 |
license document. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
#### 4. Combined Works. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken |
| 82 |
together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of |
| 83 |
the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for |
| 84 |
debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following: |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
- a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that |
| 87 |
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are |
| 88 |
covered by this License. |
| 89 |
- b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this |
| 90 |
license document. |
| 91 |
- c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during |
| 92 |
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among |
| 93 |
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the |
| 94 |
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. |
| 95 |
- d) Do one of the following: |
| 96 |
- 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of |
| 97 |
this License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form |
| 98 |
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to |
| 99 |
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of |
| 100 |
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the |
| 101 |
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying |
| 102 |
Corresponding Source. |
| 103 |
- 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with |
| 104 |
the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run |
| 105 |
time a copy of the Library already present on the user's |
| 106 |
computer system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified |
| 107 |
version of the Library that is interface-compatible with the |
| 108 |
Linked Version. |
| 109 |
- e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would |
| 110 |
otherwise be required to provide such information under section 6 |
| 111 |
of the GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is |
| 112 |
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the |
| 113 |
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the Application |
| 114 |
with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If you use option |
| 115 |
4d0, the Installation Information must accompany the Minimal |
| 116 |
Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application Code. If you |
| 117 |
use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation Information in |
| 118 |
the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying |
| 119 |
Corresponding Source.) |
| 120 |
|
| 121 |
#### 5. Combined Libraries. |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library |
| 124 |
side by side in a single library together with other library |
| 125 |
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this |
| 126 |
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your |
| 127 |
choice, if you do both of the following: |
| 128 |
|
| 129 |
- a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
| 130 |
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
| 131 |
facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License. |
| 132 |
- b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it |
| 133 |
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the |
| 134 |
accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
| 135 |
|
| 136 |
#### 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. |
| 137 |
|
| 138 |
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
| 139 |
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new |
| 140 |
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may |
| 141 |
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
| 142 |
|
| 143 |
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
| 144 |
as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the |
| 145 |
GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" applies to |
| 146 |
it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either |
| 147 |
of that published version or of any later version published by the |
| 148 |
Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it does not |
| 149 |
specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public License, you |
| 150 |
may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General Public License ever |
| 151 |
published by the Free Software Foundation. |
| 152 |
|
| 153 |
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide |
| 154 |
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall |
| 155 |
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is |
| 156 |
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the |
| 157 |
Library. |
