9 | This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates |
---|
10 | the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public |
---|
11 | License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. |
---|
12 | |
---|
13 | 0. Additional Definitions. |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser |
---|
16 | General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU |
---|
17 | General Public License. |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, |
---|
20 | other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. |
---|
21 | |
---|
22 | An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided |
---|
23 | by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. |
---|
24 | Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode |
---|
25 | of using an interface provided by the Library. |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an |
---|
28 | Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library |
---|
29 | with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked |
---|
30 | Version". |
---|
31 | |
---|
32 | The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the |
---|
33 | Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code |
---|
34 | for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are |
---|
35 | based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the |
---|
38 | object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data |
---|
39 | and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the |
---|
40 | Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License |
---|
45 | without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | 2. Conveying Modified Versions. |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a |
---|
50 | facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application |
---|
51 | that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the |
---|
52 | facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified |
---|
53 | version: |
---|
54 | |
---|
55 | a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to |
---|
56 | ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the |
---|
57 | function or data, the facility still operates, and performs |
---|
58 | whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or |
---|
59 | |
---|
60 | b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of |
---|
61 | this License applicable to that copy. |
---|
62 | |
---|
63 | 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. |
---|
64 | |
---|
65 | The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from |
---|
66 | a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object |
---|
67 | code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated |
---|
68 | material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure |
---|
69 | layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates |
---|
70 | (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: |
---|
71 | |
---|
72 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the |
---|
73 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are |
---|
74 | covered by this License. |
---|
75 | |
---|
76 | b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license |
---|
77 | document. |
---|
78 | |
---|
79 | 4. Combined Works. |
---|
80 | |
---|
81 | You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, |
---|
82 | taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the |
---|
83 | portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse |
---|
84 | engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of |
---|
85 | the following: |
---|
86 | |
---|
87 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that |
---|
88 | the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are |
---|
89 | covered by this License. |
---|
90 | |
---|
91 | b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license |
---|
92 | document. |
---|
93 | |
---|
94 | c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during |
---|
95 | execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among |
---|
96 | these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the |
---|
97 | copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. |
---|
98 | |
---|
99 | d) Do one of the following: |
---|
100 | |
---|
101 | 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this |
---|
102 | License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form |
---|
103 | suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to |
---|
104 | recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of |
---|
105 | the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the |
---|
106 | manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying |
---|
107 | Corresponding Source. |
---|
108 | |
---|
109 | 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
---|
110 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time |
---|
111 | a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer |
---|
112 | system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version |
---|
113 | of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked |
---|
114 | Version. |
---|
115 | |
---|
116 | e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise |
---|
117 | be required to provide such information under section 6 of the |
---|
118 | GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is |
---|
119 | necessary to install and execute a modified version of the |
---|
120 | Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the |
---|
121 | Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If |
---|
122 | you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany |
---|
123 | the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application |
---|
124 | Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation |
---|
125 | Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL |
---|
126 | for conveying Corresponding Source.) |
---|
127 | |
---|
128 | 5. Combined Libraries. |
---|
129 | |
---|
130 | You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
---|
131 | Library side by side in a single library together with other library |
---|
132 | facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this |
---|
133 | License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your |
---|
134 | choice, if you do both of the following: |
---|
135 | |
---|
136 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based |
---|
137 | on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, |
---|
138 | conveyed under the terms of this License. |
---|
139 | |
---|
140 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it |
---|
141 | is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the |
---|
142 | accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
---|
143 | |
---|
144 | 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. |
---|
145 | |
---|
146 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
---|
147 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new |
---|
148 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may |
---|
149 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
---|
150 | |
---|
151 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
---|
152 | Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version |
---|
153 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" |
---|
154 | applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and |
---|
155 | conditions either of that published version or of any later version |
---|
156 | published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you |
---|
157 | received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser |
---|
158 | General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser |
---|
159 | General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
---|
160 | |
---|
161 | If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide |
---|
162 | whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall |
---|
163 | apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is |
---|
164 | permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the |
---|
165 | Library. |
---|
