---|
| 10 | 59 Temple Place - Suite 330 |
---|
| 11 | Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. |
---|
| 12 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
---|
| 13 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
---|
| 14 | |
---|
| 15 | [This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is |
---|
| 16 | numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.] |
---|

---|
| 18 | Preamble |
---|
| 19 | |
---|
| 20 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
---|
| 21 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
---|
| 22 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
---|
| 23 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
---|
| 24 | |
---|
| 25 | This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some |
---|
| 26 | specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any |
---|
| 27 | other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for |
---|
| 28 | your libraries, too. |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
| 30 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
---|
| 31 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
---|
| 32 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
---|
| 33 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
---|
| 34 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
---|
| 35 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
---|
| 38 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
---|
| 39 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if |
---|
| 40 | you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
---|
| 43 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
---|
| 44 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
---|
| 45 | code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide |
---|
| 46 | complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them |
---|
| 47 | with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling |
---|
| 48 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
---|
| 49 | |
---|
| 50 | Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright |
---|
| 51 | the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal |
---|
| 52 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
---|
| 53 | |
---|
| 54 | Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain |
---|
| 55 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
---|
| 56 | library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
---|
| 57 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original |
---|
| 58 | version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on |
---|
| 59 | the original authors' reputations. |
---|
| 60 | |
---|
| 61 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
---|
| 62 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free |
---|
| 63 | software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect |
---|
| 64 | transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, |
---|
| 65 | we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's |
---|
| 66 | free use or not licensed at all. |
---|
| 67 | |
---|
| 68 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary |
---|
| 69 | GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This |
---|
| 70 | license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain |
---|
| 71 | designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary |
---|
| 72 | one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is |
---|
| 73 | the same as in the ordinary license. |
---|
| 74 | |
---|
| 75 | The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that |
---|
| 76 | they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a |
---|
| 77 | program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without |
---|
| 78 | changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is |
---|
| 79 | analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in |
---|
| 80 | a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a |
---|
| 81 | derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License |
---|
| 82 | treats it as such. |
---|
| 83 | |
---|
| 84 | Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General |
---|
| 85 | Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software |
---|
| 86 | sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We |
---|
| 87 | concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better. |
---|
| 88 | |
---|
| 89 | However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the |
---|
| 90 | users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the |
---|
| 91 | libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to |
---|
| 92 | permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while |
---|
| 93 | preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free |
---|
| 94 | libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve |
---|
| 95 | this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards |
---|
| 96 | changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this |
---|
| 97 | will lead to faster development of free libraries. |
---|
| 98 | |
---|
| 99 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
---|
| 100 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
---|
| 101 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
---|
| 102 | former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only |
---|
| 103 | works together with the library. |
---|
| 104 | |
---|
| 105 | Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary |
---|
| 106 | General Public License rather than by this special one. |
---|
| 107 | |
---|
| 108 | GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
---|
| 109 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
---|
| 110 | |
---|
| 111 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which |
---|
| 112 | contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized |
---|
| 113 | party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library |
---|
| 114 | General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is |
---|
| 115 | addressed as "you". |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
| 117 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
---|
| 118 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
---|
| 119 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
| 121 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
---|
| 122 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
---|
| 123 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
---|
| 124 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
---|
| 125 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
---|
| 126 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
---|
| 127 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
---|
| 128 | |
---|
| 129 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
---|
| 130 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
---|
| 131 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
---|
| 132 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
---|
| 133 | and installation of the library. |
---|
| 134 | |
---|
| 135 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
---|
| 136 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
---|
| 137 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
---|
| 138 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
---|
| 139 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
---|
| 140 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
---|
| 141 | and what the program that uses the Library does. |
---|
| 142 | |
---|
| 143 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
---|
| 144 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
---|
| 145 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
---|
| 146 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
---|
| 147 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
---|
| 148 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
---|
| 149 | Library. |
---|
| 150 | |
---|
| 151 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
---|
| 152 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
---|
| 153 | fee. |
---|
| 154 | |
---|
| 155 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
---|
| 156 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
---|
| 157 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
---|
| 158 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
---|
| 159 | |
---|
| 160 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
---|
| 161 | |
---|
| 162 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
---|
| 163 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
---|
| 164 | |
---|
| 165 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
---|
| 166 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
---|
| 167 | |
---|
| 168 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
---|
| 169 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
---|
| 170 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
---|
| 171 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
---|
| 172 | in the event an application does not supply such function or |
---|
| 173 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
---|
| 174 | its purpose remains meaningful. |
---|
| 175 | |
---|
| 176 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
---|
| 177 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
---|
| 178 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
---|
| 179 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
---|
| 180 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
---|
| 181 | root function must still compute square roots.) |
---|
| 182 | |
---|
| 183 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
---|
| 184 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
---|
| 185 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
---|
| 186 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
---|
| 187 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
---|
| 188 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
---|
| 189 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
---|
| 190 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
---|
| 191 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
---|
| 192 | it. |
---|
| 193 | |
---|
| 194 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
---|
| 195 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
---|
| 196 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
---|
| 197 | collective works based on the Library. |
---|
| 198 | |
---|
| 199 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
---|
| 200 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
---|
| 201 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
---|
| 202 | the scope of this License. |
---|
| 203 | |
---|
| 204 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
---|
| 205 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
---|
| 206 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
---|
| 207 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
---|
| 208 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
---|
| 209 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
---|
| 210 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
---|
| 211 | these notices. |
---|
| 212 | |
---|
| 213 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
---|
| 214 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
---|
| 215 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
---|
| 216 | |
---|
| 217 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
---|
| 218 | the Library into a program that is not a library. |
---|
| 219 | |
---|
| 220 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
---|
| 221 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
---|
| 222 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
---|
| 223 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
---|
| 224 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
---|
| 225 | medium customarily used for software interchange. |
---|
| 226 | |
---|
| 227 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
---|
| 228 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
---|
| 229 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
---|
| 230 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
---|
| 231 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
---|
| 232 | |
---|
| 233 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
---|
| 234 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
---|
| 235 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
---|
| 236 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
---|
| 237 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
---|
| 238 | |
---|
| 239 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
---|
| 240 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
---|
| 241 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
---|
| 242 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
---|
| 243 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
---|
| 244 | |
---|
| 245 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
---|
| 246 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
---|
| 247 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
---|
| 248 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
---|
| 249 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
---|
| 250 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
---|
| 251 | |
---|
| 252 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
---|
| 253 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
---|
| 254 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
---|
| 255 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
---|
| 256 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
---|
| 257 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
---|
| 258 | |
---|
| 259 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
---|
| 260 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
---|
| 261 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
---|
| 262 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
---|
| 263 | |
---|
| 264 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or |
---|
| 265 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
---|
| 266 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
---|
| 267 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
---|
| 268 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
---|
| 269 | engineering for debugging such modifications. |
---|
| 270 | |
---|
| 271 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
---|
| 272 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
---|
| 273 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
---|
| 274 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
---|
| 275 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
---|
| 276 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
---|
| 277 | of these things: |
---|
| 278 | |
---|
| 279 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
---|
| 280 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
---|
| 281 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
---|
| 282 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
---|
| 283 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
---|
| 284 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
---|
| 285 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
---|
| 286 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
---|
| 287 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
---|
| 288 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
---|
| 289 | to use the modified definitions.) |
---|
| 290 | |
---|
| 291 | b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
---|
| 292 | least three years, to give the same user the materials |
---|
| 293 | specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
---|
| 294 | than the cost of performing this distribution. |
---|
| 295 | |
---|
| 296 | c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
---|
| 297 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
---|
| 298 | specified materials from the same place. |
---|
| 299 | |
---|
| 300 | d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
---|
| 301 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
---|
| 302 | |
---|
| 303 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
---|
| 304 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
---|
| 305 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
---|
| 306 | the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally |
---|
| 307 | distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
---|
| 308 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
---|
| 309 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
---|
| 310 | the executable. |
---|
| 311 | |
---|
| 312 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
---|
| 313 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
---|
| 314 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
---|
| 315 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
---|
| 316 | distribute. |
---|
| 317 | |
---|
| 318 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
---|
| 319 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
---|
| 320 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
---|
| 321 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
---|
| 322 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
---|
| 323 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
---|
| 324 | |
---|
| 325 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
---|
| 326 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
---|
| 327 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
---|
| 328 | Sections above. |
---|
| 329 | |
---|
| 330 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
---|
| 331 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
---|
| 332 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
---|
| 333 | |
---|
| 334 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
---|
| 335 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
---|
| 336 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
---|
| 337 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
---|
| 338 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
---|
| 339 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
---|
| 340 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
---|
| 341 | |
---|
| 342 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
---|
| 343 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
---|
| 344 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
---|
| 345 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
---|
| 346 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
---|
| 347 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
---|
| 348 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
---|
| 349 | the Library or works based on it. |
---|
| 350 | |
---|
| 351 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
---|
| 352 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
---|
| 353 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
---|
| 354 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
---|
| 355 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
---|
| 356 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
---|
| 357 | this License. |
---|
| 358 | |
---|
| 359 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
---|
| 360 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
---|
| 361 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
---|
| 362 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
---|
| 363 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
---|
| 364 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
---|
| 365 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
---|
| 366 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
---|
| 367 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
---|
| 368 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
---|
| 369 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
---|
| 370 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
---|
| 371 | |
---|
| 372 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
---|
| 373 | particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
---|
| 374 | and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
---|
| 375 | |
---|
| 376 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
---|
| 377 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
---|
| 378 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
---|
| 379 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
---|
| 380 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
---|
| 381 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
---|
| 382 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
---|
| 383 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
---|
| 384 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
---|
| 385 | impose that choice. |
---|
| 386 | |
---|
| 387 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
---|
| 388 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
---|
| 389 | |
---|
| 390 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
---|
| 391 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
---|
| 392 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
---|
| 393 | an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
---|
| 394 | so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
---|
| 395 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
---|
| 396 | written in the body of this License. |
---|
| 397 | |
---|
| 398 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
---|
| 399 | versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. |
---|
| 400 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
---|
| 401 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
---|
| 402 | |
---|
| 403 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
---|
| 404 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
---|
| 405 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
---|
| 406 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
---|
| 407 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
---|
| 408 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
---|
| 409 | the Free Software Foundation. |
---|
| 410 | |
---|
| 411 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
---|
| 412 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
---|
| 413 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
---|
| 414 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
---|
| 415 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
---|
| 416 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
---|
| 417 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
---|
| 418 | and reuse of software generally. |
---|
| 419 | |
---|
| 420 | NO WARRANTY |
---|
| 421 | |
---|
| 422 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
---|
| 423 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
---|
| 424 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
---|
| 425 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
---|
| 426 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
---|
| 427 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
---|
| 428 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
---|
| 429 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
---|
| 430 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
---|
| 431 | |
---|
| 432 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
---|
| 433 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
---|
| 434 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
---|
| 435 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
---|
| 436 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
---|
| 437 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
---|
| 438 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
---|
| 439 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |
---|
| 440 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
---|
| 441 | DAMAGES. |
---|
| 442 | |
---|
| 443 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
---|
| 444 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries |
---|
| 445 | |
---|
| 446 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
---|
| 447 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that |
---|
| 448 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting |
---|
| 449 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the |
---|
| 450 | ordinary General Public License). |
---|
| 451 | |
---|
| 452 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is |
---|
| 453 | safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
---|
| 454 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
---|
| 455 | "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
---|
| 456 | |
---|
| 457 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
---|

| 478 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
