| 9 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 10 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also | |
| 13 | counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, | |
| 14 | version 2, hence the version number 2.1.] | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Preamble | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away | |
| 19 | your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU | |
| 20 | General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your | |
| 21 | freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the | |
| 22 | software is free for all its users. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to | |
| 25 | some specially designated software packages--typically | |
| 26 | libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors | |
| 27 | who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you | |
| 28 | first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary | |
| 29 | General Public License is the better strategy to use in any | |
| 30 | particular case, based on the explanations below. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom | |
| 33 | of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed | |
| 34 | to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies | |
| 35 | of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that | |
| 36 | you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you | |
| 37 | can change the software and use pieces of it in new free | |
| 38 | programs; and that you are informed that you can do these | |
| 39 | things. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that | |
| 42 | forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to | |
| 43 | surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain | |
| 44 | responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library | |
| 45 | or if you modify it. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether | |
| 48 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights | |
| 49 | that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, | |
| 50 | receive or can get the source code. If you link other code | |
| 51 | with the library, you must provide complete object files to the | |
| 52 | recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after | |
| 53 | making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you | |
| 54 | must show them these terms so they know their rights. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we | |
| 57 | copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which | |
| 58 | gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify | |
| 59 | the library. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear | |
| 62 | that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the | |
| 63 | library is modified by someone else and passed on, the | |
| 64 | recipients should know that what they have is not the original | |
| 65 | version, so that the original author's reputation will not be | |
| 66 | affected by problems that might be introduced by others. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the | |
| 69 | existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a | |
| 70 | company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free | |
| 71 | program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent | |
| 72 | holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained | |
| 73 | for a version of the library must be consistent with the full | |
| 74 | freedom of use specified in this license. | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by | |
| 77 | the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the | |
| 78 | GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain | |
| 79 | designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary | |
| 80 | General Public License. We use this license for certain | |
| 81 | libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free | |
| 82 | programs. | |
| 83 | ||
| 84 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or | |
| 85 | using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally | |
| 86 | speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. | |
| 87 | The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such | |
| 88 | linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of | |
| 89 | freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more | |
| 90 | lax criteria for linking other code with the library. | |
| 91 | ||
| 92 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License | |
| 93 | because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the | |
| 94 | ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free | |
| 95 | software developers Less of an advantage over competing | |
| 96 | non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we | |
| 97 | use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. | |
| 98 | However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain | |
| 99 | special circumstances. | |
| 100 | ||
| 101 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special | |
| 102 | need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain | |
| 103 | library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve | |
| 104 | this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A | |
| 105 | more frequent case is that a free library does the same job | |
| 106 | as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little | |
| 107 | to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we | |
| 108 | use the Lesser General Public License. | |
| 109 | ||
| 110 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in | |
| 111 | non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use | |
| 112 | a large body of free software. For example, permission to | |
| 113 | use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many | |
| 114 | more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as | |
| 115 | well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. | |
| 116 | ||
| 117 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less | |
| 118 | protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user | |
| 119 | of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom | |
| 120 | and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified | |
| 121 | version of the Library. | |
| 122 | ||
| 123 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution | |
| 124 | and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference | |
| 125 | between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses | |
| 126 | the library". The former contains code derived from the | |
| 127 | library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library | |
| 128 | in order to run. | |
| 129 | ||
| 130 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION | |
| 131 | AND MODIFICATION | |
| 132 | ||
| 133 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or | |
| 134 | other program which contains a notice placed by the | |
| 135 | copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be | |
| 136 | distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public | |
| 137 | License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is | |
| 138 | addressed as "you". | |
| 139 | ||
| 140 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or | |
| 141 | data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with | |
| 142 | application programs (which use some of those functions | |
| 143 | and data) to form executables. | |
| 144 | ||
| 145 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or | |
| 146 | work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work | |
| 147 | based on the Library" means either the Library or any | |
| 148 | derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work | |
| 149 | containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with | |
| 150 | modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another | |
| 151 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without | |
| 152 | limitation in the term "modification".) | |
| 153 | ||
| 154 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the | |
| 155 | work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete | |
| 156 | source code means all the source code for all modules it | |
| 157 | contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus | |
| 158 | the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the | |
| 159 | library. | |
| 160 | ||
| 161 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification | |
| 162 | are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. | |
| 163 | The act of running a program using the Library is not | |
| 164 | restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if | |
| 165 | its contents constitute a work based on the Library | |
| 166 | (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). | |
| 167 | Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and | |
| 168 | what the program that uses the Library does. | |
| 169 | ||
| 170 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the | |
| 171 | Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any | |
| 172 | medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately | |
| 173 | publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and | |
| 174 | disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer | |
| 175 | to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and | |
| 176 | distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. | |
| 177 | ||
| 178 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a | |
| 179 | copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in | |
| 180 | exchange for a fee. | |
| 181 | ||
| 182 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any | |
| 183 | portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and | |
| 184 | copy and distribute such modifications or work under the | |
| 185 | terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of | |
| 186 | these conditions: | |
| 187 | ||
| 188 | a) The modified work must itself be a software | |
| 189 | library. | |
| 190 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry | |
| 191 | prominent notices stating that you changed the | |
| 192 | files and the date of any change. | |
| 193 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be | |
| 194 | licensed at no charge to all third parties under | |
| 195 | the terms of this License. | |
| 196 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a | |
| 197 | function or a table of data to be supplied by an | |
| 198 | application program that uses the facility, other | |
| 199 | than as an argument passed when the facility | |
| 200 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith | |
| 201 | effort to ensure that, in the event an application | |
| 202 | does not supply such function or table, the | |
| 203 | facility still operates, and performs whatever | |
| 204 | part of its purpose remains meaningful. | |
| 205 | ||
| 206 | (For example, a function in a library to | |
| 207 | compute square roots has a purpose that is | |
| 208 | entirely well-defined independent of the | |
| 209 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires | |
| 210 | that any application-supplied function or table | |
| 211 | used by this function must be optional: if the | |
| 212 | application does not supply it, the square root | |
| 213 | function must still compute square roots.) | |
| 214 | ||
| 215 | These requirements apply to the modified work | |
| 216 | as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work | |
| 217 | are not derived from the Library, and can be | |
| 218 | reasonably considered independent and | |
| 219 | separate works in themselves, then this | |
| 220 | License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
| 221 | sections when you distribute them as separate | |
| 222 | works. But when you distribute the same | |
| 223 | sections as part of a whole which is a work | |
| 224 | based on the Library, the distribution of the | |
| 225 | whole must be on the terms of this License, | |
| 226 | whose permissions for other licensees extend | |
| 227 | to the entire whole, and thus to each and every | |
| 228 | part regardless of who wrote it. | |
| 229 | ||
| 230 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim | |
| 231 | rights or contest your rights to work written | |
| 232 | entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise | |
| 233 | the right to control the distribution of derivative | |
| 234 | or collective works based on the Library. | |
| 235 | ||
| 236 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work | |
| 237 | not based on the Library with the Library (or | |
| 238 | with a work based on the Library) on a volume | |
| 239 | of a storage or distribution medium does not | |
| 240 | bring the other work under the scope of this | |
| 241 | License. | |
| 242 | ||
| 243 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU | |
| 244 | General Public License instead of this License to a given | |
| 245 | copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices | |
| 246 | that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary | |
| 247 | GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this | |
| 248 | License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary | |
| 249 | GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can | |
| 250 | specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any | |
| 251 | other change in these notices. | |
| 252 | ||
| 253 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible | |
| 254 | for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License | |
| 255 | applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made | |
| 256 | from that copy. | |
| 257 | ||
| 258 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code | |
| 259 | of the Library into a program that is not a library. | |
| 260 | ||
| 261 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | |
| 262 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable | |
| 263 | form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that | |
| 264 | you accompany it with the complete corresponding | |
| 265 | machine-readable source code, which must be distributed | |
| 266 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | |
| 267 | customarily used for software interchange. | |
| 268 | ||
| 269 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to | |
| 270 | copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | |
| 271 | access to copy the source code from the same place | |
| 272 | satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even | |
| 273 | though third parties are not compelled to copy the source | |
| 274 | along with the object code. | |
| 275 | ||
| 276 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | |
| 277 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being | |
| 278 | compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the | |
| 279 | Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of | |
| 280 | the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this | |
| 281 | License. | |
| 282 | ||
| 283 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the | |
| 284 | Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the | |
| 285 | Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather | |
| 286 | than a "work that uses the library". The executable is | |
| 287 | therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for | |
| 288 | distribution of such executables. | |
| 289 | ||
| 290 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a | |
| 291 | header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the | |
| 292 | work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the | |
| 293 | source code is not. Whether this is true is especially | |
| 294 | significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if | |
| 295 | the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is | |
| 296 | not precisely defined by law. | |
| 297 | ||
| 298 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | |
| 299 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and | |
| 300 | small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the | |
| 301 | use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it | |
| 302 | is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this | |
| 303 | object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under | |
| 304 | Section 6.) | |
| 305 | ||
| 306 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | |
| 307 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of | |
| 308 | Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall | |
| 309 | under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with | |
| 310 | the Library itself. | |
| 311 | ||
| 312 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also | |
| 313 | combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the | |
| 314 | Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, | |
| 315 | and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided | |
| 316 | that the terms permit modification of the work for the | |
| 317 | customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging | |
| 318 | such modifications. | |
| 319 | ||
| 320 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work | |
| 321 | that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use | |
| 322 | are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this | |
| 323 | License. If the work during execution displays copyright | |
| 324 | notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library | |
| 325 | among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the | |
| 326 | copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: | |
| 327 | ||
| 328 | a) Accompany the work with the complete | |
| 329 | corresponding machine-readable source code | |
| 330 | for the Library including whatever changes were | |
| 331 | used in the work (which must be distributed | |
| 332 | under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work | |
| 333 | is an executable linked with the Library, with | |
| 334 | the complete machine-readable "work that | |
| 335 | uses the Library", as object code and/or | |
| 336 | source code, so that the user can modify the | |
| 337 | Library and then relink to produce a modified | |
| 338 | executable containing the modified Library. (It | |
| 339 | is understood that the user who changes the | |
| 340 | contents of definitions files in the Library will | |
| 341 | not necessarily be able to recompile the | |
| 342 | application to use the modified definitions.) | |
| 343 | ||
| 344 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for | |
| 345 | linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism | |
| 346 | is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the | |
| 347 | library already present on the user's computer | |
| 348 | system, rather than copying library functions | |
| 349 | into the executable, and (2) will operate | |
| 350 | properly with a modified version of the library, if | |
| 351 | the user installs one, as long as the modified | |
| 352 | version is interface-compatible with the version | |
| 353 | that the work was made with. | |
| 354 | ||
| 355 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, | |
| 356 | valid for at least three years, to give the same | |
| 357 | user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, | |
| 358 | above, for a charge no more than the cost of | |
| 359 | performing this distribution. | |
| 360 | ||
| 361 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering | |
| 362 | access to copy from a designated place, offer | |
| 363 | equivalent access to copy the above specified | |
| 364 | materials from the same place. | |
| 365 | ||
| 366 | e) Verify that the user has already received a | |
| 367 | copy of these materials or that you have | |
| 368 | already sent this user a copy. | |
| 369 | ||
| 370 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses | |
| 371 | the Library" must include any data and utility programs | |
| 372 | needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a | |
| 373 | special exception, the materials to be distributed need not | |
| 374 | include anything that is normally distributed (in either source | |
| 375 | or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, | |
| 376 | and so on) of the operating system on which the executable | |
| 377 | runs, unless that component itself accompanies the | |
| 378 | executable. | |
| 379 | ||
| 380 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | |
| 381 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | |
| 382 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction | |
| 383 | means you cannot use both them and the Library together in | |
| 384 | an executable that you distribute. | |
| 385 | ||
| 386 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on | |
| 387 | the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other | |
| 388 | library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute | |
| 389 | such a combined library, provided that the separate | |
| 390 | distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other | |
| 391 | library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you | |
| 392 | do these two things: | |
| 393 | ||
| 394 | a) Accompany the combined library with a | |
| 395 | copy of the same work based on the Library, | |
| 396 | uncombined with any other library facilities. | |
| 397 | This must be distributed under the terms of the | |
| 398 | Sections above. | |
| 399 | ||
| 400 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined | |
| 401 | library of the fact that part of it is a work based | |
| 402 | on the Library, and explaining where to find the | |
| 403 | accompanying uncombined form of the same | |
| 404 | work. | |
| 405 | ||
| 406 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | |
| 407 | distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this | |
| 408 | License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, | |
| 409 | link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will | |
| 410 | automatically terminate your rights under this License. | |
| 411 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from | |
| 412 | you under this License will not have their licenses terminated | |
| 413 | so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | |
| 414 | ||
| 415 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you | |
| 416 | have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you | |
| 417 | permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative | |
| 418 | works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not | |
| 419 | accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing | |
| 420 | the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate | |
| 421 | your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms | |
| 422 | and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the | |
| 423 | Library or works based on it. | |
| 424 | ||
| 425 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work | |
| 426 | based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a | |
| 427 | license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with | |
| 428 | or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. | |
| 429 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the | |
| 430 | recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not | |
| 431 | responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this | |
| 432 | License. | |
| 433 | ||
| 434 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of | |
| 435 | patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to | |
| 436 | patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by | |
| 437 | court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the | |
| 438 | conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the | |
| 439 | conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to | |
| 440 | satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License | |
| 441 | and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence | |
| 442 | you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a | |
| 443 | patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of | |
| 444 | the Library by all those who receive copies directly or | |
| 445 | indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy | |
| 446 | both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from | |
| 447 | distribution of the Library. | |
| 448 | ||
| 449 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable | |
| 450 | under any particular circumstance, the balance of the | |
| 451 | section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is | |
| 452 | intended to apply in other circumstances. | |
| 453 | ||
| 454 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe | |
| 455 | any patents or other property right claims or to contest | |
| 456 | validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose | |
| 457 | of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution | |
| 458 | system which is implemented by public license practices. | |
| 459 | Many people have made generous contributions to the wide | |
| 460 | range of software distributed through that system in reliance | |
| 461 | on consistent application of that system; it is up to the | |
| 462 | author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute | |
| 463 | software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
| 464 | impose that choice. | |
| 465 | ||
| 466 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is | |
| 467 | believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
| 468 | ||
| 469 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | |
| 470 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted | |
| 471 | interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the | |
| 472 | Library under this License may add an explicit geographical | |
| 473 | distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that | |
| 474 | distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | |
| 475 | excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the | |
| 476 | limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |
| 477 | ||
| 478 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised | |
| 479 | and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License | |
| 480 | from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit | |
| 481 | to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new | |
| 482 | problems or concerns. | |
| 483 | ||
| 484 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | |
| 485 | Library specifies a version number of this License which | |
| 486 | applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of | |
| 487 | following the terms and conditions either of that version or of | |
| 488 | any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. | |
| 489 | If the Library does not specify a license version number, you | |
| 490 | may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | |
| 491 | Foundation. | |
| 492 | ||
| 493 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other | |
| 494 | free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible | |
| 495 | with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For | |
| 496 | software which is copyrighted by the Free Software | |
| 497 | Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we | |
| 498 | sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be | |
| 499 | guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all | |
| 500 | derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | |
| 501 | and reuse of software generally. | |
| 502 | ||
| 503 | NO WARRANTY | |
| 504 | ||
| 505 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF | |
| 506 | CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, | |
| 507 | TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | |
| 508 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE | |
| 509 | COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | |
| 510 | PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY | |
| 511 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, | |
| 512 | INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED | |
| 513 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR | |
| 514 | A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE | |
| 515 | QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH | |
| 516 | YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU | |
| 517 | ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, | |
| 518 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
| 519 | ||
| 520 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE | |
| 521 | LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT | |
| 522 | HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | |
| 523 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED | |
| 524 | ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING | |
| 525 | ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | |
| 526 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE | |
| 527 | OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT | |
| 528 | NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | |
| 529 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY | |
| 530 | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE | |
| 531 | LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), | |
| 532 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN | |
| 533 | ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
| 534 | ||
| 535 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
