GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU 

General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure 

the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s 

software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software 

is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to 

make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that 

you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free 

programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to 

surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the 

software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the 

rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them 

these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal 

permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no 

warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to 

know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 

authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors 

of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we 

have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0.  This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying 

it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such 

program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under 

copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications 

and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term 

“modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification 

are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and 

the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent 

of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1.  You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, 

provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 

disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 

and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

 

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty 

protection in exchange for a fee.

2.  You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the 

Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that 

you also meet all of these conditions:

a)  You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date 

of any change.

b)  You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the 

Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this 

License.

c)  If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started 

running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including 

an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a 

warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to 

view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an 

announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

  These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are 

not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 

themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as 

separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the 

Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other 

licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

  Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; 

rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on 

the Program.

  In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work 

based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 

the scope of this License.

3.  You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable 

form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a)  Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed 

under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b)  Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no 

more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of 

the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 

customarily used for software interchange; or,

c)  Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This 

alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code 

or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

  The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an 

executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 

associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the 

executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is 

normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so 

on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the 

executable.

  If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then 

offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source 

code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4.  You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. 

Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically 

terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 

this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5.  You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you 

permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if 

you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 

Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, 

distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6.  Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically 

receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and 

conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. 

You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7.  If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited 

to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict 

the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute 

so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a 

consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-

free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only 

way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

 

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the 

section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

 

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right 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 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 

generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that 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 system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

 

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this 

License.

8.  If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted 

interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit 

geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 

countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this 

License.

9.  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time 

to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new 

problems or concerns.

¦

 

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License 

which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of 

that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a 

version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10.  If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are 

different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software 

Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be 

guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the 

sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11.  BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE 

PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED 

IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” 

WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED 

TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 

THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD 

THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR 

OR CORRECTION.

12.  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY 

COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE 

PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, 

SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO 

USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED 

INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM 

TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), 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 Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve 

this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source 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 program’s name and a brief idea of what it does.> 

Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public 

License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later 

version. 

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied 

warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License 

for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free 

Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. 

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author 

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’. 

This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. 

Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show c’; they could even be 

mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” 

for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 

`Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. 

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 

Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is 

a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is 

what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.

GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)

Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, 

version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU 

General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the 

software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated 

software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You 

can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License 

is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are 

designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if 

you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of 

it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to 

surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the 

library or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give 

the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. 

If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink 

them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so 

they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which 

gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library 

is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, 

so that the original author’s reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a 

company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. 

Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom 

of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, 

the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary 

General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free 

programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is 

legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore 

permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License 

permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the 

ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing 

non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many 

libraries.
However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, 

so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more 

frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to 

gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use 

a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many 

more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of 

a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified 

version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference 

between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the 

library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0.   This’ License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the 

copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General 

Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”. A “library” means a collection 

of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use 

some of those functions and data) to form executables.  

The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. 

A “work based on the Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to 

say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated 

straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term 

“modification”.)

 

“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, 

complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 

definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

 

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside 

its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is 

covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a 

tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the 

Library does.

1.  You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any 

medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright 

notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any 

warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of 

transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

¦

2.  You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, 

and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also 

meet all of these conditions:

a)  The modified work must itself be a software library.
b)  You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date 

of any change.

c)  You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this 

License.

d)  If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application 

program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must 

make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the 

facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

  (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined 

independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or 

table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function 

must still compute square roots.)

  These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not 

derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, 

then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. 

But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the 

distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend 

to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent 

of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 

exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, 

mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the 

Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of 

this License.

3.  You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given 

copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the 

ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of 

the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) 

Do not make any other change in these notices.

 

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public 

License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when 

you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4.  You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or 

executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete 

corresponding machinereadable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 

above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

 

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 

access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even 

though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5.  A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library 

by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a 

derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a “work that 

uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains 

portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this 

License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

 

When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code 

for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true 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 defined by law.

 

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros 

and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, 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 work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for 

the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or 

not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6.  As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the 

Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, 

provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for 

debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is 

used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If 

the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among 

them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a)  Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library 

including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 

above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work 

that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then 

relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who 

changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application 

to use the modified definitions.)

b)  Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) 

uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying 

library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, 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 written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials 

specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this 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 materials from the same place.

e)  Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user 

a copy. For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data 

and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, 

the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or 

binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which 

the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this 

requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany 

the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an 

executable that you distribute.

7.  You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together 

with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the 

separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and 

provided that you do these two things:
a)  Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any 

other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b)  Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and 

explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

8.  You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under 

this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and 

will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or 

rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full 

compliance.

9.  You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you 

permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you 

do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), 

you indicate your acceptance of this License 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 redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives 

a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and 

conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. 

You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 

11.  If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited 

to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict 

the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute 

so as to satisfy simultaneously your 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 receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only 

way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

 

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the 

section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

 

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right 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 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous 

contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that 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 

system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

 

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this 

License.

12.  If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted 

interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit 

geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 

countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this 

License.

13.  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License 

from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 

address new problems or concerns.

 

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License 

which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of 

that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a 

license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14.  If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are 

incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the 

Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our 

decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of 

promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15.  BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, 

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING 

THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT 

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE 

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE 

ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 

LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR 

CORRECTION.
