rlm@0 11 [This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is
rlm@0 12 numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
rlm@0 13
rlm@0 14 Preamble
rlm@0 15
rlm@0 16 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
rlm@0 17 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
rlm@0 18 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
rlm@0 19 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
rlm@0 20
rlm@0 21 This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
rlm@0 22 specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
rlm@0 23 other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
rlm@0 24 your libraries, too.
rlm@0 25
rlm@0 26 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
rlm@0 27 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
rlm@0 28 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
rlm@0 29 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
rlm@0 30 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
rlm@0 31 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
rlm@0 32
rlm@0 33 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
rlm@0 34 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
rlm@0 35 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
rlm@0 36 you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
rlm@0 37
rlm@0 38 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
rlm@0 39 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
rlm@0 40 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
rlm@0 41 code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
rlm@0 42 complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
rlm@0 43 with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
rlm@0 44 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
rlm@0 45
rlm@0 46 Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
rlm@0 47 the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
rlm@0 48 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
rlm@0 49
rlm@0 50 Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
rlm@0 51 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
rlm@0 52 library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
rlm@0 53 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
rlm@0 54 version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
rlm@0 55 the original authors' reputations.
rlm@0 56
rlm@0 57 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
rlm@0 58 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
rlm@0 59 software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
rlm@0 60 transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
rlm@0 61 we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
rlm@0 62 free use or not licensed at all.
rlm@0 63
rlm@0 64 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
rlm@0 65 GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
rlm@0 66 license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
rlm@0 67 designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
rlm@0 68 one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
rlm@0 69 the same as in the ordinary license.
rlm@0 70
rlm@0 71 The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
rlm@0 72 they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
rlm@0 73 program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
rlm@0 74 changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
rlm@0 75 analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
rlm@0 76 a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
rlm@0 77 derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
rlm@0 78 treats it as such.
rlm@0 79
rlm@0 80 Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
rlm@0 81 Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
rlm@0 82 sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
rlm@0 83 concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
rlm@0 84
rlm@0 85 However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
rlm@0 86 users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
rlm@0 87 libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
rlm@0 88 permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
rlm@0 89 preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
rlm@0 90 libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
rlm@0 91 this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
rlm@0 92 changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
rlm@0 93 will lead to faster development of free libraries.
rlm@0 94
rlm@0 95 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
rlm@0 96 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
rlm@0 97 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
rlm@0 98 former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
rlm@0 99 works together with the library.
rlm@0 100
rlm@0 101 Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
rlm@0 102 General Public License rather than by this special one.
rlm@0 103
rlm@0 104 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
rlm@0 105 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
rlm@0 106
rlm@0 107 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
rlm@0 108 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
rlm@0 109 party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
rlm@0 110 General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
rlm@0 111 addressed as "you".
rlm@0 112
rlm@0 113 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
rlm@0 114 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
rlm@0 115 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
rlm@0 116
rlm@0 117 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
rlm@0 118 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
rlm@0 119 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
rlm@0 120 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
rlm@0 121 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
rlm@0 122 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
rlm@0 123 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
rlm@0 124
rlm@0 125 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
rlm@0 126 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
rlm@0 127 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
rlm@0 128 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
rlm@0 129 and installation of the library.
rlm@0 130
rlm@0 131 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
rlm@0 132 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
rlm@0 133 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
rlm@0 134 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
rlm@0 135 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
rlm@0 136 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
rlm@0 137 and what the program that uses the Library does.
rlm@0 138
rlm@0 139 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
rlm@0 140 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
rlm@0 141 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
rlm@0 142 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
rlm@0 143 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
rlm@0 144 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
rlm@0 145 Library.
rlm@0 146
rlm@0 147 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
rlm@0 148 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
rlm@0 149 fee.
rlm@0 150
rlm@0 151 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
rlm@0 152 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
rlm@0 153 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
rlm@0 154 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
rlm@0 155
rlm@0 156 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
rlm@0 157
rlm@0 158 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
rlm@0 159 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
rlm@0 160
rlm@0 161 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
rlm@0 162 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
rlm@0 163
rlm@0 164 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
rlm@0 165 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
rlm@0 166 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
rlm@0 167 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
rlm@0 168 in the event an application does not supply such function or
rlm@0 169 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
rlm@0 170 its purpose remains meaningful.
rlm@0 171
rlm@0 172 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
rlm@0 173 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
rlm@0 174 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
rlm@0 175 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
rlm@0 176 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
rlm@0 177 root function must still compute square roots.)
rlm@0 178
rlm@0 179 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
rlm@0 180 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
rlm@0 181 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
rlm@0 182 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
rlm@0 183 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
rlm@0 184 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
rlm@0 185 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
rlm@0 186 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
rlm@0 187 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
rlm@0 188 it.
rlm@0 189
rlm@0 190 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
rlm@0 191 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
rlm@0 192 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
rlm@0 193 collective works based on the Library.
rlm@0 194
rlm@0 195 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
rlm@0 196 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
rlm@0 197 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
rlm@0 198 the scope of this License.
rlm@0 199
rlm@0 200 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
rlm@0 201 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
rlm@0 202 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
rlm@0 203 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
rlm@0 204 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
rlm@0 205 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
rlm@0 206 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
rlm@0 207 these notices.
rlm@0 208
rlm@0 209 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
rlm@0 210 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
rlm@0 211 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
rlm@0 212
rlm@0 213 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
rlm@0 214 the Library into a program that is not a library.
rlm@0 215
rlm@0 216 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
rlm@0 217 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
rlm@0 218 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
rlm@0 219 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
rlm@0 220 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
rlm@0 221 medium customarily used for software interchange.
rlm@0 222
rlm@0 223 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
rlm@0 224 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
rlm@0 225 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
rlm@0 226 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
rlm@0 227 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
rlm@0 228
rlm@0 229 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
rlm@0 230 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
rlm@0 231 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
rlm@0 232 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
rlm@0 233 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
rlm@0 234
rlm@0 235 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
rlm@0 236 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
rlm@0 237 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
rlm@0 238 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
rlm@0 239 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
rlm@0 240
rlm@0 241 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
rlm@0 242 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
rlm@0 243 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
rlm@0 244 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
rlm@0 245 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
rlm@0 246 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
rlm@0 247
rlm@0 248 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
rlm@0 249 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
rlm@0 250 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
rlm@0 251 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
rlm@0 252 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
rlm@0 253 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
rlm@0 254
rlm@0 255 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
rlm@0 256 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
rlm@0 257 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
rlm@0 258 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
rlm@0 259
rlm@0 260 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
rlm@0 261 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
rlm@0 262 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
rlm@0 263 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
rlm@0 264 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
rlm@0 265 engineering for debugging such modifications.
rlm@0 266
rlm@0 267 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
rlm@0 268 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
rlm@0 269 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
rlm@0 270 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
rlm@0 271 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
rlm@0 272 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
rlm@0 273 of these things:
rlm@0 274
rlm@0 275 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
rlm@0 276 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
rlm@0 277 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
rlm@0 278 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
rlm@0 279 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
rlm@0 280 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
rlm@0 281 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
rlm@0 282 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
rlm@0 283 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
rlm@0 284 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
rlm@0 285 to use the modified definitions.)
rlm@0 286
rlm@0 287 b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
rlm@0 288 least three years, to give the same user the materials
rlm@0 289 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
rlm@0 290 than the cost of performing this distribution.
rlm@0 291
rlm@0 292 c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
rlm@0 293 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
rlm@0 294 specified materials from the same place.
rlm@0 295
rlm@0 296 d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
rlm@0 297 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
rlm@0 298
rlm@0 299 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
rlm@0 300 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
rlm@0 301 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
rlm@0 302 the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
rlm@0 303 distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
rlm@0 304 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
rlm@0 305 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
rlm@0 306 the executable.
rlm@0 307
rlm@0 308 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
rlm@0 309 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
rlm@0 310 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
rlm@0 311 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
rlm@0 312 distribute.
rlm@0 313
rlm@0 314 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
rlm@0 315 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
rlm@0 316 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
rlm@0 317 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
rlm@0 318 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
rlm@0 319 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
rlm@0 320
rlm@0 321 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
rlm@0 322 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
rlm@0 323 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
rlm@0 324 Sections above.
rlm@0 325
rlm@0 326 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
rlm@0 327 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
rlm@0 328 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
rlm@0 329
rlm@0 330 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
rlm@0 331 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
rlm@0 332 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
rlm@0 333 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rlm@0 334 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
rlm@0 335 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
rlm@0 336 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
rlm@0 337
rlm@0 338 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
rlm@0 339 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
rlm@0 340 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
rlm@0 341 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
rlm@0 342 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
rlm@0 343 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
rlm@0 344 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
rlm@0 345 the Library or works based on it.
rlm@0 346
rlm@0 347 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
rlm@0 348 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
rlm@0 349 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
rlm@0 350 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
rlm@0 351 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
rlm@0 352 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
rlm@0 353 this License.
rlm@0 354
rlm@0 355 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
rlm@0 356 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
rlm@0 357 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
rlm@0 358 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
rlm@0 359 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
rlm@0 360 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
rlm@0 361 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
rlm@0 362 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
rlm@0 363 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
rlm@0 364 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
rlm@0 365 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
rlm@0 366 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
rlm@0 367
rlm@0 368 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
rlm@0 369 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
rlm@0 370 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
rlm@0 371
rlm@0 372 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
rlm@0 373 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
rlm@0 374 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
rlm@0 375 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
rlm@0 376 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
rlm@0 377 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
rlm@0 378 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
rlm@0 379 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
rlm@0 380 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
rlm@0 381 impose that choice.
rlm@0 382
rlm@0 383 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
rlm@0 384 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
rlm@0 385
rlm@0 386 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
rlm@0 387 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
rlm@0 388 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
rlm@0 389 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
rlm@0 390 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
rlm@0 391 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
rlm@0 392 written in the body of this License.
rlm@0 393
rlm@0 394 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
rlm@0 395 versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
rlm@0 396 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
rlm@0 397 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
rlm@0 398
rlm@0 399 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
rlm@0 400 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
rlm@0 401 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
rlm@0 402 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
rlm@0 403 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
rlm@0 404 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
rlm@0 405 the Free Software Foundation.
rlm@0 406
rlm@0 407 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
rlm@0 408 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
rlm@0 409 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
rlm@0 410 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
rlm@0 411 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
rlm@0 412 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
rlm@0 413 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
rlm@0 414 and reuse of software generally.

rlm@0 441 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
rlm@0 442
rlm@0 443 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
rlm@0 444 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
rlm@0 445 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
rlm@0 446 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
rlm@0 447 ordinary General Public License).
rlm@0 448
rlm@0 449 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
rlm@0 450 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
rlm@0 451 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
rlm@0 452 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
rlm@0 453
rlm@0 454 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
rlm@0 455 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
rlm@0 456
rlm@0 457 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
rlm@0 458 modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
rlm@0 459 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
rlm@0 460 version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
rlm@0 461
rlm@0 462 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
rlm@0 463 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
rlm@0 464 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
rlm@0 465 Library General Public License for more details.
rlm@0 466
rlm@0 467 You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public
rlm@0 468 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free
rlm@0 469 Software Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
rlm@0 470
rlm@0 471 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
rlm@0 472
rlm@0 473 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
rlm@0 474 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
rlm@0 475 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
rlm@0 476
rlm@0 477 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
rlm@0 478 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
