above on a medium c ustomarily us ed for soft ware
interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by of fering access
to copy from a designated place, then off ering equivalent
access to copy t he source code from the sa me place
satisfies the requiremen t to distribute the sou rce code,
even though third parties ar e not compe lled to copy t he
source along with th e object code.
5. A program that conta ins no derivative of any portion of
the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by
being compiled or linked with it, is c alled a “work that
uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a
derivative work o f the Library, and therefo re falls outside
the scope of this Lic ense.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library create s an executa ble that is a derivative of the
Library (be cause it contain s portions of th e Library),
rather than a “work that us es the library”. The executable
is therefore c overed by this Licens e. Section 6 states
terms for distr ibution of such e xecutables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses mater ial from a
header file t hat is part of the Library, th e object code for
the work m ay be a derivativ e work of the Library even
though the source code is not. Whet her this is tru e is
especially significant if the work can be linked without
the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold
for this to be true is not precisely define d by law.
If such an object file us es only num erical parame ters,
data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros
and small inline functions (ten li nes or less in length),
then the use of the object file is u nrestricte d, regardless
of whether it is legally a derivative work. ( Executables
containing this object code plus portions of the Library
will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise , if the wor k is a der ivative of the Library, you
may distribute the object code for the wor k under the
terms of Sect ion 6. Any exec utables containing t hat work
also fall under Se ction 6, whet her or n ot they are linked
directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sect ions above, you may also
combine or link a “work th at uses the Library” with th e
Library to produce a work containing port ions of the
Library, a nd distribute that work un der terms of y our
choice, provided th at the terms per mit modification of
the work for the custom er’s own use and reverse
engineering for debu gging such modifications.
You must give prominent notic e with each copy of the
work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and
its use are cove red by this Lice nse. You must supply a
c o py of th is Li ce ns e . I f t he wo r k d ur in g e xe c u t io n d is p l a ys
copyright notic es, you must include the copyright n otice
for the Library among them, as well as a reference
directing the us er to the cop y of this License . Also, you
must do one of these things:
a) Ac company the w ork with the c omplete
corresponding machine-readable source code for the
Library including whate ver changes were used in the
work (which must be distrib uted under Sections 1 and
2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with
the Library, with the complete mach ine-readable “work
that uses the Library”, as ob ject code and/ or source
code, so that the user can modify the Li brary and then
relink to prod uce a modifi ed executa ble containi ng the
modified Library. (It is unders tood that the user who
changes the conten ts of definitions files in t he Library
will not necessarily be able to recompile the
applicati on to use the modi fied definiti ons.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1)
uses at run time a co py of the library alre ady present
on the user ’s comput er system , rather than copying
library functions into the executable, and (2) will
operate pro perly with a modified v ersion of the libra ry,
if the user installs one, as long as the modified version
is interface-compatible with the version that the work
was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a writte n offer, valid for a t
least three ye ars, to give the same user the m aterials
specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no
more than the co st of performing th is distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access
to copy the above specified ma terials from the same
place.
e) Verify th at the user has already received a copy of
these materi als or that you have already sent this u ser
a copy.
For an executable, th e required form of the “wor k that
uses the Library” must include any data and ut ility
programs needed for reproducing the executable from it.
However, as a special exception, the materials to be
distributed ne ed not include anyt hing that is normal ly
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the
major components (co mpiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, u nless
that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement c ontradicts the
license restricti ons of othe r proprietary librar ies that do
not normally accompan y the operating system. Such a
contradict ion means you cann ot use both them and t he
Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that ar e a work based on
the Library side-by-side in a single library together with
other library facilities n ot covered b y this Lic ense, and
distribute such a c ombined library, provided th at the
separate d istribution of the wo rk based on the Library
and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted,
and provided that you do t hese two things:
a) Accompany the comb ined library with a copy of the
same work based on the Library, uncombined with any
other library facilities. This mu st be distributed under
the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give pr ominent notice with th e combined library of the
fact that part of it is a work based on th e Library, and
explaining where to find the acc ompanying
uncombined f orm of the same work.
8. You may not copy , modify, sublicense , link with, or
distribute the Library except as expressl y provided under
this License. Any at tempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and
will automatically term inate your rights under this
License. Howe ver, parties wh o have receive d copies, or
rights, from you unde r this Licens e will not h ave their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this L icense, sinc e you
have not signe d it. However, noth ing else grants you
permission to modify or distribu te the Library or its
derivative w orks. These action s are prohibited by law if
you do not ac cept this License. The refore, by modifyin g
or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
Library), yo u indicate your acceptanc e of this Lic ense to
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
10.Each time you r edistribute the Library (or any work based
on the Library), the recipien t automatically re ceives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link
with or modify the Libr ary subject to these terms and
conditions . You may not imp ose any furthe r restrict ions
on the reci pients’ exe rcise of the rights gran ted herein.
You are not responsib le for enforcing complianc e by
third parties with this License.
11.If, as a cons equence of a court ju dgment or allegation of
patent infrin gement or for any ot her reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are impo sed on y ou
(whether by court or der, agreement or othe rwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse yo u from the conditio ns of this License. I f you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously y our
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Library by all those who rec eive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way yo u could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this
section is hel d invalid or un enforceab le under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended
to apply in othe r circumstance s.
It is not the pu rpose of this se ction to induce you to
infringe any paten ts or other property righ t claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system which is imple mented by
public license pr actices. Many people h ave made
generous contributio ns to the wide range of software
distributed through th at system in reliance on consistent
application of that system; it is up to the author donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other sy stem and a licensee c annot impo se
that choice .
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the res t of this License.
12.If the distribu tion and/or use of the Library is restricted
in certain coun tries either by pate nts or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Library under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribution limitation excl uding those
countries, so that distribu tion is permitted o nly in or
among countri es not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitatio n as if written in the
body of th is License.
13.The Fr ee Software Foundation may publish revised and/
or new versions of the Lesser Genera l Public License
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the pre sent version, but may differ in detail to
address new prob lems or concern s.
Each versio n is given a disti nguishin g version num ber. If
the Library spe cifies a versi on number of thi s License
which app lies to it a nd “any l ater versi on”, you have the
option of f ollowing the terms and con ditions ei ther of
that version or of any later version published by the Free
Softwar e Foundation. If the Library does not spe cify a
license ve rsion number, you may choose a ny version ever
published by the Fr ee Software Foundation.
14.If you wis h to incorporate parts of the Library i nto other
free programs whose di stribution conditions are
incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for
permission. F or software which is cop yrighted by the
Free Softwar e Foundatio n, write to th e Free S oftware
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be gui ded by the two goals of preserving th e
free status o f all derivative s of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software gener ally.
NO WARRANTY
15.BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY,
TO THE EXTENT PE RMITTED BY A PPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVID E THE L IBRARY “AS IS” WITHO UT WAR RANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF M ERCHANTABILITY AND FI TNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. T HE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY P ROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16.IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRI TING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENT IAL DAMAGES ARIS ING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DA TA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
LIBRARY TO OPERATE WI TH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE) ,
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the
greatest possible use to the public, we r ecommend making
it free software that everyone can re distribute and change.
You can do so by permitting redistr ibution under these
terms (or, alternativ ely, under the te rms of the o rdinary
General Public License).
To apply these te rms, attach the followin g notices to the
library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each sou rce
file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and
each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a
pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library’s name and a brief idea of
what it does.>
