||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | There is an attempt to cover the actual list of authors in the AUTHORS file. |
||
| 9 | Project maintainer since 2006 is Thomas Orgis and many people have contributed |
||
| 10 | since the Michael Hipp era, but he stays the initial source and it would |
||
| 11 | be impractical to count them all individually, so it's "and others". |
||
| 12 | Source files contain the phrase "the mpg123 project" to the same effect |
||
| 13 | in their license boilerplate; especially those that were added after |
||
| 14 | maintainership changed. The person mainly responsible for the first version |
||
| 15 | is usually named in the phrase "initially written by ...". |
||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | All files in the distribution that don't carry a license note on their own are |
||
| 18 | licensed under the terms of the LGPL 2.1; exceptions may apply, especially to |
||
| 19 | files not in the official distribution but in the revision control repository. |

| 28 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
||
| 29 | Version 2.1, February 1999 |
||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
||
| 32 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
||
| 33 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
||
| 34 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts |
||
| 37 | as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence |
||
| 38 | the version number 2.1.] |
||
| 39 | |||
| 40 | Preamble |
||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
||
| 43 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
||
| 44 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
||
| 45 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
||
| 48 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the |
||
| 49 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You |
||
| 50 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether |
||
| 51 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better |
||
| 52 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. |
||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
||
| 55 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
||
| 56 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
||
| 57 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
||
| 58 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of |
||
| 59 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do |
||
| 60 | these things. |
||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
||
| 63 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
||
| 64 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
||
| 65 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
||
| 66 | |||
| 67 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
||
| 68 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
||
| 69 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
||
| 70 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
||
| 71 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
||
| 72 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling |
||
| 73 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
||
| 76 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
||
| 77 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that |
||
| 80 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is |
||
| 81 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know |
||
| 82 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original |
||
| 83 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be |
||
| 84 | introduced by others. |
||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
||
| 87 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
||
| 88 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
||
| 89 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that |
||
| 90 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be |
||
| 91 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
||
| 94 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
||
| 95 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and |
||
| 96 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use |
||
| 97 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those |
||
| 98 | libraries into non-free programs. |
||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
||
| 101 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
||
| 102 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
||
| 103 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the |
||
| 104 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General |
||
| 105 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with |
||
| 106 | the library. |
||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it |
||
| 109 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
||
| 110 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less |
||
| 111 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages |
||
| 112 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
||
| 113 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
||
| 114 | special circumstances. |
||
| 115 | |||
| 116 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
||
| 117 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes |
||
| 118 | a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be |
||
| 119 | allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free |
||
| 120 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this |
||
| 121 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free |
||
| 122 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
||
| 125 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of |
||
| 126 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in |
||
| 127 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU |
||
| 128 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating |
||
| 129 | system. |
||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
||
| 132 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is |
||
| 133 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run |
||
| 134 | that program using a modified version of the Library. |
||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
||
| 137 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
||
| 138 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
||
| 139 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
||
| 140 | be combined with the library in order to run. |
||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
||
| 143 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
||
| 144 | |||
| 145 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
||
| 146 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
||
| 147 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
||
| 148 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
||
| 149 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
||
| 152 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
||
| 153 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
||
| 156 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
||
| 157 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
||
| 158 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
||
| 159 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
||
| 160 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
||
| 161 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
||
| 164 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
||
| 165 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
||
| 166 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
||
| 167 | and installation of the library. |
||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
||
| 170 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
||
| 171 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
||
| 172 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
||
| 173 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
||
| 174 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
||
| 175 | and what the program that uses the Library does. |
||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
||
| 178 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
||
| 179 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
||
| 180 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
||
| 181 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
||
| 182 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
||
| 183 | Library. |
||
| 184 | |||
| 185 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
||
| 186 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
||
| 187 | fee. |
||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
||
| 190 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
||
| 191 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
||
| 192 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
||
| 193 | |||
| 194 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
||
| 195 | |||
| 196 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
||
| 197 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
||
| 198 | |||
| 199 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
||
| 200 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
||
| 201 | |||
| 202 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
||
| 203 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
||
| 204 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
||
| 205 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
||
| 206 | in the event an application does not supply such function or |
||
| 207 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
||
| 208 | its purpose remains meaningful. |
||
| 209 | |||
| 210 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
||
| 211 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
||
| 212 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
||
| 213 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
||
| 214 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
||
| 215 | root function must still compute square roots.) |
||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
||
| 218 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
||
| 219 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
||
| 220 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
||
| 221 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
||
| 222 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
||
| 223 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
||
| 224 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
||
| 225 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
||
| 226 | it. |
||
| 227 | |||
| 228 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
||
| 229 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
||
| 230 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
||
| 231 | collective works based on the Library. |
||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
||
| 234 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
||
| 235 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
||
| 236 | the scope of this License. |
||
| 237 | |||
| 238 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
||
| 239 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
||
| 240 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
||
| 241 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
||
| 242 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
||
| 243 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
||
| 244 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
||
| 245 | these notices. |
||
| 246 | |||
| 247 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
||
| 248 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
||
| 249 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
||
| 252 | the Library into a program that is not a library. |
||
| 253 | |||
| 254 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
||
| 255 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
||
| 256 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
||
| 257 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
||
| 258 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
||
| 259 | medium customarily used for software interchange. |
||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
||
| 262 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
||
| 263 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
||
| 264 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
||
| 265 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
||
| 266 | |||
| 267 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
||
| 268 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
||
| 269 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
||
| 270 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
||
| 271 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
||
| 272 | |||
| 273 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
||
| 274 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
||
| 275 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
||
| 276 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
||
| 277 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
||
| 278 | |||
| 279 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
||
| 280 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
||
| 281 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
||
| 282 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
||
| 283 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
||
| 284 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
||
| 285 | |||
| 286 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
||
| 287 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
||
| 288 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
||
| 289 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
||
| 290 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
||
| 291 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
||
| 292 | |||
| 293 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
||
| 294 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
||
| 295 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
||
| 296 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
||
| 297 | |||
| 298 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or |
||
| 299 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
||
| 300 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
||
| 301 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
||
| 302 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
||
| 303 | engineering for debugging such modifications. |
||
| 304 | |||
| 305 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
||
| 306 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
||
| 307 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
||
| 308 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
||
| 309 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
||
| 310 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
||
| 311 | of these things: |
||
| 312 | |||
| 313 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
||
| 314 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
||
| 315 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
||
| 316 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
||
| 317 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
||
| 318 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
||
| 319 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
||
| 320 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
||
| 321 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
||
| 322 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
||
| 323 | to use the modified definitions.) |
||
| 324 | |||
| 325 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
||
| 326 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a |
||
| 327 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, |
||
| 328 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) |
||
| 329 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if |
||
| 330 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is |
||
| 331 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. |
||
| 332 | |||
| 333 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
||
| 334 | least three years, to give the same user the materials |
||
| 335 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
||
| 336 | than the cost of performing this distribution. |
||
| 337 | |||
| 338 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
||
| 339 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
||
| 340 | specified materials from the same place. |
||
| 341 | |||
| 342 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
||
| 343 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
||
| 344 | |||
| 345 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
||
| 346 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
||
| 347 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
||
| 348 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is |
||
| 349 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
||
| 350 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
||
| 351 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
||
| 352 | the executable. |
||
| 353 | |||
| 354 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
||
| 355 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
||
| 356 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
||
| 357 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
||
| 358 | distribute. |
||
| 359 | |||
| 360 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
||
| 361 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
||
| 362 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
||
| 363 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
||
| 364 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
||
| 365 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
||
| 366 | |||
| 367 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
||
| 368 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
||
| 369 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
||
| 370 | Sections above. |
||
| 371 | |||
| 372 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
||
| 373 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
||
| 374 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
||
| 375 | |||
| 376 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
||
| 377 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
||
| 378 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
||
| 379 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
||
| 380 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
||
| 381 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
||
| 382 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
||
| 383 | |||
| 384 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
||
| 385 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
||
| 386 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
||
| 387 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
||
| 388 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
||
| 389 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
||
| 390 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
||
| 391 | the Library or works based on it. |
||
| 392 | |||
| 393 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
||
| 394 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
||
| 395 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
||
| 396 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
||
| 397 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
||
| 398 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with |
||
| 399 | this License. |
||
| 400 | |||
| 401 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
||
| 402 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
||
| 403 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
||
| 404 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
||
| 405 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
||
| 406 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
||
| 407 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
||
| 408 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
||
| 409 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
||
| 410 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
||
| 411 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
||
| 412 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
||
| 413 | |||
| 414 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
||
| 415 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
||
| 416 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
||
| 417 | |||
| 418 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
||
| 419 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
||
| 420 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
||
| 421 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
||
| 422 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
||
| 423 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
||
| 424 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
||
| 425 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
||
| 426 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
||
| 427 | impose that choice. |
||
| 428 | |||
| 429 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
||
| 430 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
||
| 431 | |||
| 432 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
||
| 433 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
||
| 434 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
||
| 435 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
||
| 436 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
||
| 437 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
||
| 438 | written in the body of this License. |
||
| 439 | |||
| 440 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
||
| 441 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. |
||
| 442 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
||
| 443 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
||
| 444 | |||
| 445 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
||
| 446 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
||
| 447 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
||
| 448 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
||
| 449 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
||
| 450 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
||
| 451 | the Free Software Foundation. |
||
| 452 | |||
| 453 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
||
| 454 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
||
| 455 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
||
| 456 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
||
| 457 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
||
| 458 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
||
| 459 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
||
| 460 | and reuse of software generally. |
||
| 461 | |||
| 462 | NO WARRANTY |
||
| 463 | |||
| 464 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
||
| 465 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
||
| 466 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
||
| 467 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
||
| 468 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
||
| 469 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
||
| 470 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
||
| 471 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
||
| 472 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
||
| 473 | |||
| 474 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
||
| 475 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
||
| 476 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
||
| 477 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
||
| 478 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
||
| 479 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
||
| 480 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
||
| 481 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |
||
| 482 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
||
| 483 | DAMAGES. |
||
| 484 | |||
| 485 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |

| 493 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
||
| 494 | Version 2, June 1991 |
||
| 495 | |||
| 496 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., |
||
| 497 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
||
| 498 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
||
| 499 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
||
| 500 | |||
| 501 | Preamble |
||
| 502 | |||
| 503 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
||
| 504 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
||
| 505 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
||
| 506 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
||
| 507 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
||
| 508 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
||
| 509 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
||
| 510 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
||
| 511 | your programs, too. |
||
| 512 | |||
| 513 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
||
| 514 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
||
| 515 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
||
| 516 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
||
| 517 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
||
| 518 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
||
| 519 | |||
| 520 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
||
| 521 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
||
| 522 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
||
| 523 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
||
| 524 | |||
| 525 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
||
| 526 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
||
| 527 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
||
| 528 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
||
| 529 | rights. |
||
| 530 | |||
| 531 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
||
| 532 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
||
| 533 | distribute and/or modify the software. |
||
| 534 | |||
| 535 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
||
| 536 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
||
| 537 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
||
| 538 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
||
| 539 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
||
| 540 | authors' reputations. |
||
| 541 | |||
| 542 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
||
| 543 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
||
| 544 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
||
| 545 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
||
| 546 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
||
| 547 | |||
| 548 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
||
| 549 | modification follow. |
||
| 550 | |||
| 551 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
||
| 552 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
||
| 553 | |||
| 554 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
||
| 555 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
||
| 556 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
||
| 557 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
||
| 558 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
||
| 559 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
||
| 560 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
||
| 561 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
||
| 562 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
||
| 563 | |||
| 564 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
||
| 565 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
||
| 566 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
||
| 567 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
||
| 568 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
||
| 569 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
||
| 570 | |||
| 571 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
||
| 572 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
||
| 573 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
||
| 574 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
||
| 575 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
||
| 576 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
||
| 577 | along with the Program. |
||
| 578 | |||
| 579 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
||
| 580 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
||
| 581 | |||
| 582 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
||
| 583 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
||
| 584 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
||
| 585 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
||
| 586 | |||
| 587 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
||
| 588 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
||
| 589 | |||
| 590 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
||
| 591 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
||
| 592 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
||
| 593 | parties under the terms of this License. |
||
| 594 | |||
| 595 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
||
| 596 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
||
| 597 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
||
| 598 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
||
| 599 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
||
| 600 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
||
| 601 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
||
| 602 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
||
| 603 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
||
| 604 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
||
| 605 | |||
| 606 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
||
| 607 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
||
| 608 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
||
| 609 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
||
| 610 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
||
| 611 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
||
| 612 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
||
| 613 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
||
| 614 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
||
| 615 | |||
| 616 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
||
| 617 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
||
| 618 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
||
| 619 | collective works based on the Program. |
||
| 620 | |||
| 621 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
||
| 622 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
||
| 623 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
||
| 624 | the scope of this License. |
||
| 625 | |||
| 626 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
||
| 627 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
||
| 628 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
||
| 629 | |||
| 630 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
||
| 631 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
||
| 632 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
||
| 633 | |||
| 634 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
||
| 635 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
||
| 636 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
||
| 637 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
||
| 638 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
||
| 639 | customarily used for software interchange; or, |
||
| 640 | |||
| 641 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
||
| 642 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
||
| 643 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
||
| 644 | received the program in object code or executable form with such |
||
| 645 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
||
| 646 | |||
| 647 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
||
| 648 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
||
| 649 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
||
| 650 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
||
| 651 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
||
| 652 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
||
| 653 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
||
| 654 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
||
| 655 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
||
| 656 | itself accompanies the executable. |
||
| 657 | |||
| 658 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
||
| 659 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
||
| 660 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
||
| 661 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
||
| 662 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
||
| 663 | |||
| 664 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
||
| 665 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
||
| 666 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
||
| 667 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
||
| 668 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
||
| 669 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
||
| 670 | parties remain in full compliance. |
||
| 671 | |||
| 672 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
||
| 673 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
||
| 674 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
||
| 675 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
||
| 676 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
||
| 677 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
||
| 678 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
||
| 679 | the Program or works based on it. |
||
| 680 | |||
| 681 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
||
| 682 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
||
| 683 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
||
| 684 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
||
| 685 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
||
| 686 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
||
| 687 | this License. |
||
| 688 | |||
| 689 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
||
| 690 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
||
| 691 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
||
| 692 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
||
| 693 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
||
| 694 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
||
| 695 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
||
| 696 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
||
| 697 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
||
| 698 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
||
| 699 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
||
| 700 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
||
| 701 | |||
| 702 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
||
| 703 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
||
| 704 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
||
| 705 | circumstances. |
||
| 706 | |||
| 707 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
||
| 708 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
||
| 709 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
||
| 710 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
||
| 711 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
||
| 712 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
||
| 713 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
||
| 714 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
||
| 715 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
||
| 716 | impose that choice. |
||
| 717 | |||
| 718 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
||
| 719 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
||
| 720 | |||
| 721 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
||
| 722 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
||
| 723 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
||
| 724 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
||
| 725 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
||
| 726 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
||
| 727 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
||
| 728 | |||
| 729 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
||
| 730 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
||
| 731 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
||
| 732 | address new problems or concerns. |
||
| 733 | |||
| 734 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
||
| 735 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
||
| 736 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
||
| 737 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
||
| 738 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
||
| 739 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
||
| 740 | Foundation. |
||
| 741 | |||
| 742 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
||
| 743 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
||
| 744 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
||
| 745 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
||
| 746 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
||
| 747 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
||
| 748 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
||
| 749 | |||
| 750 | NO WARRANTY |
||
| 751 | |||
