It also counts - as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence - the version number 2.1.] + LICENSES/LGPL-2.1 - Preamble +The Linux Kernel uAPI headers are provided under: - 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. + SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note - 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. +Being under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 only, +according with: - 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. + LICENSES/GPL-2.0 - 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. +With an explicit syscall exception, as stated at: - 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. + LICENSES/Linux-syscall-note - 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. - - GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - 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 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. - - 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. - - 16. 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 LIBRARY 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 -LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF -SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH -DAMAGES. - - END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS - - How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries - - If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest -possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that -everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting -redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms -of the ordinary General Public License). - - To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. -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 library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> - Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> - - This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or - modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public - License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either - version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. - - This library 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 - Lesser General Public License for more details. - - You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public - License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software - Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA - -Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. - -You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or -your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, -if necessary.

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.

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. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + 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.

(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.

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 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. + + 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.

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.
