| AW | 2 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| 3 | Version 3, 29 June 2007 | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | |
| 6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Preamble | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
| 12 | software and other kinds of works. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | |
| 15 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
| 16 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to | |
| 17 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free | |
| 18 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the | |
| 19 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to | |
| 20 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to | |
| 21 | your programs, too. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
| 24 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
| 25 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
| 26 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | |
| 27 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | |
| 28 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | |
| 31 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have | |
| 32 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if | |
| 33 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
| 36 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | |
| 37 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive | |
| 38 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they | |
| 39 | know their rights. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | |
| 42 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | |
| 43 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | |
| 46 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | |
| 47 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | |
| 48 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | |
| 49 | authors of previous versions. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | |
| 52 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer | |
| 53 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of | |
| 54 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic | |
| 55 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to | |
| 56 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we | |
| 57 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those | |
| 58 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we | |
| 59 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions | |
| 60 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | |
| 63 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
| 64 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to | |
| 65 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could | |
| 66 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that | |
| 67 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
| 70 | modification follow. | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | 0. Definitions. | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of | |
| 79 | works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
| 82 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and | |
| 83 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. | |
| 84 | ||
| 85 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | |
| 86 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an | |
| 87 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the | |
| 88 | earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. | |
| 89 | ||
| 90 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based | |
| 91 | on the Program. | |
| 92 | ||
| 93 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
| 94 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
| 95 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
| 96 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
| 97 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
| 98 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
| 99 | ||
| 100 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
| 101 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through | |
| 102 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | |
| 103 | ||
| 104 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" | |
| 105 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | |
| 106 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | |
| 107 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
| 108 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
| 109 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
| 110 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
| 111 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
| 112 | ||
| 113 | 1. Source Code. | |
| 114 | ||
| 115 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work | |
| 116 | for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source | |
| 117 | form of a work. | |
| 118 | ||
| 119 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official | |
| 120 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
| 121 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
| 122 | is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
| 123 | ||
| 124 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other | |
| 125 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
| 126 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
| 127 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
| 128 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
| 129 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
| 130 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component | |
| 131 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
| 132 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
| 133 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
| 134 | ||
| 135 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all | |
| 136 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
| 137 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
| 138 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
| 139 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
| 140 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
| 141 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
| 142 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
| 143 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
| 144 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
| 145 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
| 146 | subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
| 147 | ||
| 148 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users | |
| 149 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding | |
| 150 | Source. | |
| 151 | ||
| 152 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that | |
| 153 | same work. | |
| 154 | ||
| 155 | 2. Basic Permissions. | |
| 156 | ||
| 157 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
| 158 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
| 159 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
| 160 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
| 161 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
| 162 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
| 163 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
| 164 | ||
| 165 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not | |
| 166 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains | |
| 167 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose | |
| 168 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you | |
| 169 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with | |
| 170 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do | |
| 171 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works | |
| 172 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction | |
| 173 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of | |
| 174 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
| 175 | ||
| 176 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under | |
| 177 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
| 178 | makes it unnecessary. | |
| 179 | ||
| 180 | 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
| 181 | ||
| 182 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
| 183 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
| 184 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
| 185 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
| 186 | measures. | |
| 187 | ||
| 188 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
| 189 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention | |
| 190 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to | |
| 191 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or | |
| 192 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's | |
| 193 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of | |
| 194 | technological measures. | |
| 195 | ||
| 196 | 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
| 197 | ||
| 198 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
| 199 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
| 200 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
| 201 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
| 202 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
| 203 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
| 204 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
| 205 | ||
| 206 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
| 207 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
| 208 | ||
| 209 | 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
| 210 | ||
| 211 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
| 212 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
| 213 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
| 214 | ||
| 215 | a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | |
| 216 | it, and giving a relevant date. | |
| 217 | ||
| 218 | b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | |
| 219 | released under this License and any conditions added under section | |
| 220 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | |
| 221 | "keep intact all notices". | |
| 222 | ||
| 223 | c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | |
| 224 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | |
| 225 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | |
| 226 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | |
| 227 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | |
| 228 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | |
| 229 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | |
| 230 | ||
| 231 | d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
| 232 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
| 233 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | |
| 234 | work need not make them do so. | |
| 235 | ||
| 236 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
| 237 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
| 238 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
| 239 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
| 240 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
| 241 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
| 242 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
| 243 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
| 244 | parts of the aggregate. | |
| 245 | ||
| 246 | 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
| 247 | ||
| 248 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | |
| 249 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | |
| 250 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | |
| 251 | in one of these ways: | |
| 252 | ||
| 253 | a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
| 254 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
| 255 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | |
| 256 | customarily used for software interchange. | |
| 257 | ||
| 258 | b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
| 259 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | |
| 260 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | |
| 261 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | |
| 262 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | |
| 263 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | |
| 264 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | |
| 265 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | |
| 266 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | |
| 267 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | |
| 268 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
| 269 | ||
| 270 | c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | |
| 271 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | |
| 272 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | |
| 273 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | |
| 274 | with subsection 6b. | |
| 275 | ||
| 276 | d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | |
| 277 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
| 278 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
| 279 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
| 280 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | |
| 281 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | |
| 282 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | |
| 283 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | |
| 284 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | |
| 285 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | |
| 286 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | |
| 287 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | |
| 288 | ||
| 289 | e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | |
| 290 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | |
| 291 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | |
| 292 | charge under subsection 6d. | |
| 293 | ||
| 294 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
| 295 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
| 296 | included in conveying the object code work. | |
| 297 | ||
| 298 | A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | |
| 299 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | |
| 300 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | |
| 301 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | |
| 302 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | |
| 303 | product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | |
| 304 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | |
| 305 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | |
| 306 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | |
| 307 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | |
| 308 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | |
| 309 | the only significant mode of use of the product. | |
| 310 | ||
| 311 | "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | |
| 312 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | |
| 313 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | |
| 314 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | |
| 315 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | |
| 316 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | |
| 317 | modification has been made. | |
| 318 | ||
| 319 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
| 320 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
| 321 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
| 322 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
| 323 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
| 324 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
| 325 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
| 326 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
| 327 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
| 328 | been installed in ROM). | |
| 329 | ||
| 330 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
| 331 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | |
| 332 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | |
| 333 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | |
| 334 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | |
| 335 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | |
| 336 | protocols for communication across the network. | |
| 337 | ||
| 338 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
| 339 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
| 340 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
| 341 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
| 342 | unpacking, reading or copying. | |
| 343 | ||
| 344 | 7. Additional Terms. | |
| 345 | ||
| 346 | "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
| 347 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
| 348 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
| 349 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
| 350 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
| 351 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
| 352 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
| 353 | this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
| 354 | ||
| 355 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
| 356 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
| 357 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
| 358 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
| 359 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
| 360 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
| 361 | ||
| 362 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
| 363 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | |
| 364 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
| 365 | ||
| 366 | a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | |
| 367 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
| 368 | ||
| 369 | b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | |
| 370 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | |
| 371 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or | |
| 372 | ||
| 373 | c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
| 374 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
| 375 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
| 376 | ||
| 377 | d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
| 378 | authors of the material; or | |
| 379 | ||
| 380 | e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | |
| 381 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
| 382 | ||
| 383 | f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | |
| 384 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | |
| 385 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | |
| 386 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | |
| 387 | those licensors and authors. | |
| 388 | ||
| 389 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | |
| 390 | restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
| 391 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
| 392 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
| 393 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
| 394 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
| 395 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
| 396 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
| 397 | not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
| 398 | ||
| 399 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
| 400 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
| 401 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
| 402 | where to find the applicable terms. | |
| 403 | ||
| 404 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
| 405 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | |
| 406 | the above requirements apply either way. | |
| 407 | ||
| 408 | 8. Termination. | |
| 409 | ||
| 410 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
| 411 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
| 412 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
| 413 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
| 414 | paragraph of section 11). | |
| 415 | ||
| 416 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | |
| 417 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | |
| 418 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | |
| 419 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | |
| 420 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | |
| 421 | prior to 60 days after the cessation. | |
| 422 | ||
| 423 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | |
| 424 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
| 425 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
| 426 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
| 427 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
| 428 | your receipt of the notice. | |
| 429 | ||
| 430 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
| 431 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
| 432 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
| 433 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
| 434 | material under section 10. | |
| 435 | ||
| 436 | 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
| 437 | ||
| 438 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | |
| 439 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
| 440 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
| 441 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
| 442 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
| 443 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
| 444 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
| 445 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
| 446 | ||
| 447 | 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
| 448 | ||
| 449 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
| 450 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
| 451 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
| 452 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
| 453 | ||
| 454 | An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | |
| 455 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
| 456 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
| 457 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
| 458 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
| 459 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
| 460 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
| 461 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
| 462 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
| 463 | ||
| 464 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
| 465 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
| 466 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
| 467 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
| 468 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
| 469 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
| 470 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
| 471 | ||
| 472 | 11. Patents. | |
| 473 | ||
| 474 | A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
| 475 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
| 476 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | |
| 477 | ||
| 478 | A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | |
| 479 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
| 480 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
| 481 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
| 482 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
| 483 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
| 484 | purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | |
| 485 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
| 486 | this License. | |
| 487 | ||
| 488 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
| 489 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | |
| 490 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | |
| 491 | propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
| 492 | ||
| 493 | In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | |
| 494 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
| 495 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
| 496 | sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | |
| 497 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
| 498 | patent against the party. | |
| 499 | ||
| 500 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
| 501 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
| 502 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
| 503 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
| 504 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
| 505 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
| 506 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
| 507 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
| 508 | license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | |
| 509 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
| 510 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
| 511 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
| 512 | country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
| 513 | ||
| 514 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
| 515 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
| 516 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
| 517 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
| 518 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
| 519 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
| 520 | work and works based on it. | |
| 521 | ||
| 522 | A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | |
| 523 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | |
| 524 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | |
| 525 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | |
| 526 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | |
| 527 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | |
| 528 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | |
| 529 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | |
| 530 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | |
| 531 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | |
| 532 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | |
| 533 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | |
| 534 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | |
| 535 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
| 536 | ||
| 537 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
| 538 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
| 539 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
| 540 | ||
| 541 | 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
| 542 | ||
| 543 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
| 544 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
| 545 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a | |
| 546 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
| 547 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may | |
| 548 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you | |
| 549 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey | |
| 550 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this | |
| 551 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. | |
| 552 | ||
| 553 | 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
| 554 | ||
| 555 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | |
| 556 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | |
| 557 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | |
| 558 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
| 559 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | |
| 560 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | |
| 561 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | |
| 562 | combination as such. | |
| 563 | ||
| 564 | 14. Revised Versions of this License. | |
| 565 | ||
| 566 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | |
| 567 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
| 568 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | |
| 569 | address new problems or concerns. | |
| 570 | ||
| 571 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | |
| 572 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General | |
| 573 | Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the | |
| 574 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered | |
| 575 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software | |
| 576 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the | |
| 577 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published | |
| 578 | by the Free Software Foundation. | |
| 579 | ||
| 580 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future | |
| 581 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's | |
| 582 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you | |
| 583 | to choose that version for the Program. | |
| 584 | ||
| 585 | Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
| 586 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
| 587 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
| 588 | later version. | |
| 589 | ||
| 590 | 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
| 591 | ||
| 592 | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | |
| 593 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | |
| 594 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY | |
| 595 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | |
| 596 | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
| 597 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM | |
| 598 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | |
| 599 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
| 600 | ||
| 601 | 16. Limitation of Liability. | |
| 602 | ||
| 603 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
| 604 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS | |
| 605 | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY | |
| 606 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE | |
| 607 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF | |
| 608 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD | |
| 609 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), | |
| 610 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF | |
| 611 | SUCH DAMAGES. | |
| 612 | ||
| 613 | 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
| 614 | ||
| 615 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
| 616 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
| 617 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
| 618 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
| 619 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
| 620 | copy of the Program in return for a fee. | |
| 621 | ||
| 622 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
| 623 | ||
| 624 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
| 625 | ||
| 626 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
| 627 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
| 628 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | |
| 629 | ||
| 630 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
| 631 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
| 632 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
| 633 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
| 634 | ||
| 635 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
| 636 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
| 637 | ||
| 638 | This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify | |
| 639 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
| 640 | the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or | |
| 641 | (at your option) any later version. | |
| 642 | ||
| 643 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
| 644 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
| 645 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | |
| 646 | GNU General Public License for more details. | |
| 647 | ||
| 648 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | |
| 649 | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | |
| 650 | ||
| 651 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
| 652 | ||
| 653 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | |
| 654 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | |
| 655 | ||
| 656 | <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
| 657 | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | |
| 658 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | |
| 659 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | |
| 660 | ||
| 661 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | |
| 662 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands | |
| 663 | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". | |
| 664 | ||
| 665 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | |
| 666 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. | |
| 667 | For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see | |
| 668 | <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | |
| 669 | ||
| 670 | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program | |
| 671 | into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you | |
| 672 | may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with | |
| 673 | the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General | |
| 674 | Public License instead of this License. But first, please read | |
| 675 | <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. | |

| 678 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 679 | Version 2.1, February 1999 | |
| 680 | ||
| 681 | Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
| 682 | 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | |
| 683 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 684 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 685 | ||
| 686 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts | |
| 687 | as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence | |
| 688 | the version number 2.1.] | |
| 689 | ||
| 690 | Preamble | |
| 691 | ||
| 692 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
| 693 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
| 694 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | |
| 695 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. | |
| 696 | ||
| 697 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some | |
| 698 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the | |
| 699 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You | |
| 700 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether | |
| 701 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better | |
| 702 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations | |
| 703 | below. | |
| 704 | ||
| 705 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, | |
| 706 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that | |
| 707 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge | |
| 708 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get | |
| 709 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of | |
| 710 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do | |
| 711 | these things. | |
| 712 | ||
| 713 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
| 714 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these | |
| 715 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for | |
| 716 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. | |
| 717 | ||
| 718 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis | |
| 719 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | |
| 720 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | |
| 721 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide | |
| 722 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them | |
| 723 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling | |
| 724 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | |
| 725 | ||
| 726 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the | |
| 727 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal | |
| 728 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | |
| 729 | ||
| 730 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that | |
| 731 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is | |
| 732 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know | |
| 733 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original | |
| 734 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be | |
| 735 | introduced by others. | |
| 736 | ||
| 737 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of | |
| 738 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot | |
| 739 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a | |
| 740 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that | |
| 741 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be | |
| 742 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. | |
| 743 | ||
| 744 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the | |
| 745 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser | |
| 746 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and | |
| 747 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use | |
| 748 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those | |
| 749 | libraries into non-free programs. | |
| 750 | ||
| 751 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using | |
| 752 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a | |
| 753 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary | |
| 754 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the | |
| 755 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General | |
| 756 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with | |
| 757 | the library. | |
| 758 | ||
| 759 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it | |
| 760 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General | |
| 761 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less | |
| 762 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages | |
| 763 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many | |
| 764 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain | |
| 765 | special circumstances. | |
| 766 | ||
| 767 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to | |
| 768 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it | |
| 769 | becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must | |
| 770 | be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free | |
| 771 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this | |
| 772 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free | |
| 773 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. | |
| 774 | ||
| 775 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free | |
| 776 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of | |
| 777 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in | |
| 778 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU | |
| 779 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating | |
| 780 | system. | |
| 781 | ||
| 782 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the | |
| 783 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is | |
| 784 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run | |
| 785 | that program using a modified version of the Library. | |
| 786 | ||
| 787 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
| 788 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | |
| 789 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | |
| 790 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must | |
| 791 | be combined with the library in order to run. | |
| 792 | ||
| 793 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 794 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |
| 795 | ||
| 796 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other | |
| 797 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or | |
| 798 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of | |
| 799 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). | |
| 800 | Each licensee is addressed as "you". | |
| 801 | ||
| 802 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | |
| 803 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | |
| 804 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | |
| 805 | ||
| 806 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | |
| 807 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | |
| 808 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | |
| 809 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | |
| 810 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | |
| 811 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | |
| 812 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) | |
| 813 | ||
| 814 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
| 815 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | |
| 816 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | |
| 817 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control | |
| 818 | compilation and installation of the library. | |
| 819 | ||
| 820 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | |
| 821 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | |
| 822 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | |
| 823 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | |
| 824 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | |
| 825 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | |
| 826 | and what the program that uses the Library does. | |
| 827 | ||
| 828 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's | |
| 829 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | |
| 830 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | |
| 831 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | |
| 832 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | |
| 833 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | |
| 834 | Library. | |
| 835 | ||
| 836 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | |
| 837 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | |
| 838 | fee. | |
| 839 | ||
| 840 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion | |
| 841 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | |
| 842 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | |
| 843 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
| 844 | ||
| 845 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | |
| 846 | ||
| 847 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices | |
| 848 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | |
| 849 | ||
| 850 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no | |
| 851 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | |
| 852 | ||
| 853 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a | |
| 854 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | |
| 855 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | |
| 856 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | |
| 857 | in the event an application does not supply such function or | |
| 858 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | |
| 859 | its purpose remains meaningful. | |
| 860 | ||
| 861 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has | |
| 862 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | |
| 863 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | |
| 864 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must | |
| 865 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | |
| 866 | root function must still compute square roots.) | |
| 867 | ||
| 868 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | |
| 869 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | |
| 870 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
| 871 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
| 872 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
| 873 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
| 874 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
| 875 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | |
| 876 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | |
| 877 | it. | |
| 878 | ||
| 879 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | |
| 880 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
| 881 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
| 882 | collective works based on the Library. | |
| 883 | ||
| 884 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library | |
| 885 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | |
| 886 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
| 887 | the scope of this License. | |
| 888 | ||
| 889 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | |
| 890 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | |
| 891 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | |
| 892 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | |
| 893 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | |
| 894 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | |
| 895 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | |
| 896 | these notices. | |
| 897 | ||
| 898 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for | |
| 899 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | |
| 900 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | |
| 901 | ||
| 902 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of | |
| 903 | the Library into a program that is not a library. | |
| 904 | ||
| 905 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | |
| 906 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | |
| 907 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | |
| 908 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | |
| 909 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | |
| 910 | medium customarily used for software interchange. | |
| 911 | ||
| 912 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy | |
| 913 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | |
| 914 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | |
| 915 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | |
| 916 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
| 917 | ||
| 918 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | |
| 919 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | |
| 920 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | |
| 921 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | |
| 922 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | |
| 923 | ||
| 924 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library | |
| 925 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | |
| 926 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | |
| 927 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | |
| 928 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | |
| 929 | ||
| 930 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file | |
| 931 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | |
| 932 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | |
| 933 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | |
| 934 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | |
| 935 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | |
| 936 | ||
| 937 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | |
| 938 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | |
| 939 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | |
| 940 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | |
| 941 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | |
| 942 | Library will still fall under Section 6.) | |
| 943 | ||
| 944 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | |
| 945 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | |
| 946 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | |
| 947 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | |
| 948 | ||
| 949 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or | |
| 950 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | |
| 951 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | |
| 952 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | |
| 953 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | |
| 954 | engineering for debugging such modifications. | |
| 955 | ||
| 956 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the | |
| 957 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | |
| 958 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | |
| 959 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | |
| 960 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | |
| 961 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | |
| 962 | of these things: | |
| 963 | ||
| 964 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding | |
| 965 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | |
| 966 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | |
| 967 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | |
| 968 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | |
| 969 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | |
| 970 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | |
| 971 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | |
| 972 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | |
| 973 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | |
| 974 | to use the modified definitions.) | |
| 975 | ||
| 976 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | |
| 977 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a | |
| 978 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, | |
| 979 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) | |
| 980 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if | |
| 981 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is | |
| 982 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. | |
| 983 | ||
| 984 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least | |
| 985 | three years, to give the same user the materials specified in | |
| 986 | Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of | |
| 987 | performing this distribution. | |
| 988 | ||
| 989 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy | |
| 990 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | |
| 991 | specified materials from the same place. | |
| 992 | ||
| 993 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these | |
| 994 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | |
| 995 | ||
| 996 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the | |
| 997 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | |
| 998 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | |
| 999 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is | |
| 1000 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | |
| 1001 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | |
| 1002 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | |
| 1003 | the executable. | |
| 1004 | ||
| 1005 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | |
| 1006 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | |
| 1007 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | |
| 1008 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | |
| 1009 | distribute. | |
| 1010 | ||
| 1011 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | |
| 1012 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | |
| 1013 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | |
| 1014 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | |
| 1015 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | |
| 1016 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | |
| 1017 | ||
| 1018 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work | |
| 1019 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | |
| 1020 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | |
| 1021 | Sections above. | |
| 1022 | ||
| 1023 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact | |
| 1024 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | |
| 1025 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | |
| 1026 | ||
| 1027 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute | |
| 1028 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | |
| 1029 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | |
| 1030 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | |
| 1031 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | |
| 1032 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | |
| 1033 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | |
| 1034 | ||
| 1035 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | |
| 1036 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | |
| 1037 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | |
| 1038 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | |
| 1039 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | |
| 1040 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | |
| 1041 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | |
| 1042 | the Library or works based on it. | |
| 1043 | ||
| 1044 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the | |
| 1045 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
| 1046 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | |
| 1047 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
| 1048 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
| 1049 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with | |
| 1050 | this License. | |
| 1051 | ||
| 1052 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | |
| 1053 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
| 1054 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
| 1055 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
| 1056 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
| 1057 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
| 1058 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
| 1059 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | |
| 1060 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | |
| 1061 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
| 1062 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
| 1063 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | |
| 1064 | ||
| 1065 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | |
| 1066 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | |
| 1067 | apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | |
| 1068 | circumstances. | |
| 1069 | ||
| 1070 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | |
| 1071 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | |
| 1072 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | |
| 1073 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is | |
| 1074 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | |
| 1075 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | |
| 1076 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | |
| 1077 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | |
| 1078 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
| 1079 | impose that choice. | |
| 1080 | ||
| 1081 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | |
| 1082 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
| 1083 | ||
| 1084 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | |
| 1085 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
| 1086 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License | |
| 1087 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those | |
| 1088 | countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | |
| 1089 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | |
| 1090 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |
| 1091 | ||
| 1092 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new | |
| 1093 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. | |
| 1094 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | |
| 1095 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
| 1096 | ||
| 1097 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library | |
| 1098 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | |
| 1099 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | |
| 1100 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | |
| 1101 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | |
| 1102 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | |
| 1103 | the Free Software Foundation. | |
| 1104 | ||
| 1105 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free | |
| 1106 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, | |
| 1107 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | |
| 1108 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | |
| 1109 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | |
| 1110 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status | |
| 1111 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | |
| 1112 | and reuse of software generally. | |
| 1113 | ||
| 1114 | NO WARRANTY | |
| 1115 | ||
| 1116 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO | |
| 1117 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | |
| 1118 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR | |
| 1119 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | |
| 1120 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | |
| 1121 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
| 1122 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | |
| 1123 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME | |
| 1124 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
| 1125 | ||
| 1126 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN | |
| 1127 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | |
| 1128 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU | |
| 1129 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | |
| 1130 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE | |
| 1131 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | |
| 1132 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A | |
| 1133 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF | |
| 1134 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH | |
| 1135 | DAMAGES. | |
| 1136 | ||
| 1137 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
| 1138 | ||
| 1139 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | |
| 1140 | ||
| 1141 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
| 1142 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | |
| 1143 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | |
| 1144 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms | |
| 1145 | of the ordinary General Public License). | |
| 1146 | ||
| 1147 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. | |
| 1148 | It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most | |
| 1149 | effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should | |
| 1150 | have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full | |
| 1151 | notice is found. | |
| 1152 | ||
| 1153 | ||
| 1154 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
| 1155 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
| 1156 | ||
| 1157 | This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | |
| 1158 | modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public | |
| 1159 | License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | |
| 1160 | version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | |
| 1161 | ||
| 1162 | This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
| 1163 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
| 1164 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | |
| 1165 | Lesser General Public License for more details. | |
| 1166 | ||
| 1167 | You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public | |
| 1168 | License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | |
| 1169 | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | |
| 1170 | ||
| 1171 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
| 1172 | ||
| 1173 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or | |
| 1174 | your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, | |
| 1175 | if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | |
| 1176 | ||
| 1177 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | |
| 1178 | library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James | |

| 1189 | ||
| 1190 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | |
| 1191 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 1192 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 1193 | ||
| 1194 | ||
| 1195 | This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates | |
| 1196 | the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public | |
| 1197 | License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below. | |
| 1198 | ||
| 1199 | 0. Additional Definitions. | |
| 1200 | ||
| 1201 | As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser | |
| 1202 | General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU | |
| 1203 | General Public License. | |
| 1204 | ||
| 1205 | "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License, | |
| 1206 | other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below. | |
| 1207 | ||
| 1208 | An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided | |
| 1209 | by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library. | |
| 1210 | Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode | |
| 1211 | of using an interface provided by the Library. | |
| 1212 | ||
| 1213 | A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an | |
| 1214 | Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library | |
| 1215 | with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked | |
| 1216 | Version". | |
| 1217 | ||
| 1218 | The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the | |
| 1219 | Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code | |
| 1220 | for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are | |
| 1221 | based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version. | |
| 1222 | ||
| 1223 | The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the | |
| 1224 | object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data | |
| 1225 | and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the | |
| 1226 | Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work. | |
| 1227 | ||
| 1228 | 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL. | |

| 1230 | You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License | |
| 1231 | without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL. | |
| 1232 | ||
| 1233 | 2. Conveying Modified Versions. | |
| 1234 | ||
| 1235 | If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a | |
| 1236 | facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application | |
| 1237 | that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the | |
| 1238 | facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified | |
| 1239 | version: | |
| 1240 | ||
| 1241 | a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to | |
| 1242 | ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the | |
| 1243 | function or data, the facility still operates, and performs | |
| 1244 | whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or | |
| 1245 | ||
| 1246 | b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of | |
| 1247 | this License applicable to that copy. | |
| 1248 | ||
| 1249 | 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files. | |
| 1250 | ||
| 1251 | The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from | |
| 1252 | a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object | |
| 1253 | code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated | |
| 1254 | material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure | |
| 1255 | layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates | |
| 1256 | (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following: | |
| 1257 | ||
| 1258 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the | |
| 1259 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | |
| 1260 | covered by this License. | |
| 1261 | ||
| 1262 | b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | |
| 1263 | document. | |
| 1264 | ||
| 1265 | 4. Combined Works. | |
| 1266 | ||
| 1267 | You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, | |
| 1268 | taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the | |
| 1269 | portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse | |
| 1270 | engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of | |
| 1271 | the following: | |
| 1272 | ||
| 1273 | a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that | |
| 1274 | the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are | |
| 1275 | covered by this License. | |
| 1276 | ||
| 1277 | b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license | |
| 1278 | document. | |
| 1279 | ||
| 1280 | c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during | |
| 1281 | execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among | |
| 1282 | these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the | |
| 1283 | copies of the GNU GPL and this license document. | |
| 1284 | ||
| 1285 | d) Do one of the following: | |
| 1286 | ||
| 1287 | 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this | |
| 1288 | License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form | |
| 1289 | suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to | |
| 1290 | recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of | |
| 1291 | the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the | |
| 1292 | manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying | |
| 1293 | Corresponding Source. | |
| 1294 | ||
| 1295 | 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | |
| 1296 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time | |
| 1297 | a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer | |
| 1298 | system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version | |
| 1299 | of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked | |
| 1300 | Version. | |
| 1301 | ||
| 1302 | e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise | |
| 1303 | be required to provide such information under section 6 of the | |
| 1304 | GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is | |
| 1305 | necessary to install and execute a modified version of the | |
| 1306 | Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the | |
| 1307 | Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If | |
| 1308 | you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany | |
| 1309 | the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application | |
| 1310 | Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation | |
| 1311 | Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL | |
| 1312 | for conveying Corresponding Source.) | |
| 1313 | ||
| 1314 | 5. Combined Libraries. | |
| 1315 | ||
| 1316 | You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | |
| 1317 | Library side by side in a single library together with other library | |
| 1318 | facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this | |
| 1319 | License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your | |
| 1320 | choice, if you do both of the following: | |
| 1321 | ||
| 1322 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based | |
| 1323 | on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities, | |
| 1324 | conveyed under the terms of this License. | |
| 1325 | ||
| 1326 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it | |
| 1327 | is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the | |
| 1328 | accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | |
| 1329 | ||
| 1330 | 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License. | |
| 1331 | ||
| 1332 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
| 1333 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new | |
| 1334 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
| 1335 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
| 1336 | ||
| 1337 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | |
| 1338 | Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version | |
| 1339 | of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" | |
| 1340 | applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and | |
| 1341 | conditions either of that published version or of any later version | |
| 1342 | published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you | |
| 1343 | received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser | |
| 1344 | General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser | |
| 1345 | General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation. | |
| 1346 | ||
| 1347 | If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide | |
| 1348 | whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall | |
| 1349 | apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is | |
| 1350 | permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the | |
| 1351 | Library. | |
