7 Ryan (icculus@icculus.org), and we can discuss an alternate license for |
| 455 | 8 money to be distributed between the contributors to this work, but I'd |
| 9 encourage you to abide by the LGPL, since the usual concern is whether you | |
| 10 can use this library without releasing your own source code (you can). | |

| 16 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 17 Version 2.1, February 1999 | |
| 18 | |
| 19 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
| 20 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | |
| 21 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 22 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts | |
| 25 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence | |
| 26 the version number 2.1.] | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Preamble | |
| 29 | |
| 30 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
| 31 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
| 32 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change | |
| 33 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some | |
| 36 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the | |
| 37 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You | |
| 38 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether | |
| 39 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better | |
| 40 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, | |
| 43 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that | |
| 44 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge | |
| 45 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get | |
| 46 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of | |
| 47 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do | |
| 48 these things. | |
| 49 | |
| 50 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
| 51 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these | |
| 52 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for | |
| 53 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis | |
| 56 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave | |
| 57 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source | |
| 58 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide | |
| 59 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them | |
| 60 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling | |
| 61 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. | |
| 62 | |
| 63 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the | |
| 64 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal | |
| 65 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. | |
| 66 | |
| 67 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that | |
| 68 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is | |
| 69 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know | |
| 70 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original | |
| 71 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be | |
| 72 introduced by others. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of | |
| 75 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot | |
| 76 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a | |
| 77 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that | |
| 78 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be | |
| 79 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. | |
| 80 | |
| 81 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the | |
| 82 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser | |
| 83 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and | |
| 84 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use | |
| 85 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those | |
| 86 libraries into non-free programs. | |
| 87 | |
| 88 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using | |
| 89 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a | |
| 90 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary | |
| 91 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the | |
| 92 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General | |
| 93 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with | |
| 94 the library. | |
| 95 | |
| 96 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it | |
| 97 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General | |
| 98 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less | |
| 99 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages | |
| 100 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many | |
| 101 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain | |
| 102 special circumstances. | |
| 103 | |
| 104 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to | |
| 105 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes | |
| 106 a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be | |
| 107 allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free | |
| 108 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this | |
| 109 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free | |
| 110 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free | |
| 113 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of | |
| 114 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in | |
| 115 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU | |
| 116 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating | |
| 117 system. | |
| 118 | |
| 119 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the | |
| 120 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is | |
| 121 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run | |
| 122 that program using a modified version of the Library. | |
| 123 | |
| 124 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
| 125 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a | |
| 126 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The | |
| 127 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must | |
| 128 be combined with the library in order to run. | |
| 129 | |
| 130 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 131 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |
| 132 | |
| 133 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other | |
| 134 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or | |
| 135 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of | |
| 136 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). | |
| 137 Each licensee is addressed as "you". | |
| 138 | |
| 139 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data | |
| 140 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs | |
| 141 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. | |
| 142 | |
| 143 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work | |
| 144 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the | |
| 145 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under | |
| 146 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a | |
| 147 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated | |
| 148 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is | |
| 149 included without limitation in the term "modification".) | |
| 150 | |
| 151 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
| 152 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means | |
| 153 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated | |
| 154 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation | |
| 155 and installation of the library. | |
| 156 | |
| 157 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | |
| 158 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | |
| 159 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from | |
| 160 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based | |
| 161 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for | |
| 162 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does | |
| 163 and what the program that uses the Library does. | |
| 164 | |
| 165 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's | |
| 166 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that | |
| 167 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an | |
| 168 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact | |
| 169 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any | |
| 170 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the | |
| 171 Library. | |
| 172 | |
| 173 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, | |
| 174 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a | |
| 175 fee. | |
| 176 | |
| 177 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion | |
| 178 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and | |
| 179 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | |
| 180 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
| 181 | |
| 182 a) The modified work must itself be a software library. | |
| 183 | |
| 184 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices | |
| 185 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | |
| 186 | |
| 187 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no | |
| 188 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. | |
| 189 | |
| 190 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a | |
| 191 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses | |
| 192 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility | |
| 193 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, | |
| 194 in the event an application does not supply such function or | |
| 195 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of | |
| 196 its purpose remains meaningful. | |
| 197 | |
| 198 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has | |
| 199 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the | |
| 200 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any | |
| 201 application-supplied function or table used by this function must | |
| 202 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square | |
| 203 root function must still compute square roots.) | |
| 204 | |
| 205 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | |
| 206 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, | |
| 207 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
| 208 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
| 209 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
| 210 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
| 211 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
| 212 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | |
| 213 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote | |
| 214 it. | |
| 215 | |
| 216 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | |
| 217 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
| 218 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
| 219 collective works based on the Library. | |
| 220 | |
| 221 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library | |
| 222 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of | |
| 223 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
| 224 the scope of this License. | |
| 225 | |
| 226 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public | |
| 227 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do | |
| 228 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so | |
| 229 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, | |
| 230 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the | |
| 231 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify | |
| 232 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in | |
| 233 these notices. | |
| 234 | |
| 235 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for | |
| 236 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all | |
| 237 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. | |
| 238 | |
| 239 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of | |
| 240 the Library into a program that is not a library. | |
| 241 | |
| 242 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or | |
| 243 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form | |
| 244 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany | |
| 245 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which | |
| 246 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a | |
| 247 medium customarily used for software interchange. | |
| 248 | |
| 249 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy | |
| 250 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the | |
| 251 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to | |
| 252 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not | |
| 253 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
| 254 | |
| 255 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the | |
| 256 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or | |
| 257 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a | |
| 258 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and | |
| 259 therefore falls outside the scope of this License. | |
| 260 | |
| 261 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library | |
| 262 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it | |
| 263 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the | |
| 264 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. | |
| 265 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. | |
| 266 | |
| 267 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file | |
| 268 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a | |
| 269 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. | |
| 270 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be | |
| 271 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The | |
| 272 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. | |
| 273 | |
| 274 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data | |
| 275 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline | |
| 276 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object | |
| 277 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative | |
| 278 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the | |
| 279 Library will still fall under Section 6.) | |
| 280 | |
| 281 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may | |
| 282 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. | |
| 283 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, | |
| 284 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. | |
| 285 | |
| 286 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or | |
| 287 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a | |
| 288 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work | |
| 289 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit | |
| 290 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse | |
| 291 engineering for debugging such modifications. | |
| 292 | |
| 293 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the | |
| 294 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by | |
| 295 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work | |
| 296 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the | |
| 297 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference | |
| 298 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one | |
| 299 of these things: | |
| 300 | |
| 301 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding | |
| 302 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever | |
| 303 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under | |
| 304 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked | |
| 305 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that | |
| 306 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the | |
| 307 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified | |
| 308 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood | |
| 309 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the | |
| 310 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application | |
| 311 to use the modified definitions.) | |
| 312 | |
| 313 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the | |
| 314 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a | |
| 315 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, | |
| 316 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) | |
| 317 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if | |
| 318 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is | |
| 319 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. | |
| 320 | |
| 321 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at | |
| 322 least three years, to give the same user the materials | |
| 323 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more | |
| 324 than the cost of performing this distribution. | |
| 325 | |
| 326 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy | |
| 327 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above | |
| 328 specified materials from the same place. | |
| 329 | |
| 330 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these | |
| 331 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. | |
| 332 | |
| 333 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the | |
| 334 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for | |
| 335 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, | |
| 336 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is | |
| 337 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major | |
| 338 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on | |
| 339 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies | |
| 340 the executable. | |
| 341 | |
| 342 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license | |
| 343 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally | |
| 344 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot | |
| 345 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you | |
| 346 distribute. | |
| 347 | |
| 348 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the | |
| 349 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library | |
| 350 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined | |
| 351 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on | |
| 352 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise | |
| 353 permitted, and provided that you do these two things: | |
| 354 | |
| 355 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work | |
| 356 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library | |
| 357 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the | |
| 358 Sections above. | |
| 359 | |
| 360 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact | |
| 361 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining | |
| 362 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. | |
| 363 | |
| 364 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute | |
| 365 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any | |
| 366 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or | |
| 367 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your | |
| 368 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, | |
| 369 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses | |
| 370 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. | |
| 371 | |
| 372 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | |
| 373 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | |
| 374 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are | |
| 375 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | |
| 376 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the | |
| 377 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | |
| 378 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | |
| 379 the Library or works based on it. | |
| 380 | |
| 381 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the | |
| 382 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
| 383 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library | |
| 384 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
| 385 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
| 386 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with | |
| 387 this License. | |
| 388 | |
| 389 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | |
| 390 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
| 391 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
| 392 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
| 393 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
| 394 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
| 395 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
| 396 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent | |
| 397 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by | |
| 398 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
| 399 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
| 400 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. | |
| 401 | |
| 402 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any | |
| 403 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, | |
| 404 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. | |
| 405 | |
| 406 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | |
| 407 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | |
| 408 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | |
| 409 integrity of the free software distribution system which is | |
| 410 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | |
| 411 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | |
| 412 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | |
| 413 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | |
| 414 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
| 415 impose that choice. | |
| 416 | |
| 417 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | |
| 418 be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
| 419 | |
| 420 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in | |
| 421 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
| 422 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add | |
| 423 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, | |
| 424 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus | |
| 425 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if | |
| 426 written in the body of this License. | |
| 427 | |
| 428 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new | |
| 429 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. | |
| 430 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, | |
| 431 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
| 432 | |
| 433 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library | |
| 434 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and | |
| 435 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and | |
| 436 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by | |
| 437 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a | |
| 438 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by | |
| 439 the Free Software Foundation. | |
| 440 | |
| 441 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free | |
| 442 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, | |
| 443 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is | |
| 444 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free | |
| 445 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our | |
| 446 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status | |
| 447 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing | |
| 448 and reuse of software generally. | |
| 449 | |
| 450 NO WARRANTY | |
| 451 | |
| 452 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO | |
| 453 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. | |
| 454 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR | |
| 455 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY | |
| 456 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE | |
| 457 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
| 458 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE | |
| 459 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME | |
| 460 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
| 461 | |
| 462 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN | |
| 463 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY | |
| 464 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU | |
| 465 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR | |
| 466 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE | |
| 467 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING | |
| 468 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A | |
| 469 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF | |
| 470 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH | |
| 471 DAMAGES. | |
| 472 | |
| 473 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
| 474 | |
| 475 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries | |
| 476 | |
| 477 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
| 478 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that | |
| 479 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting | |
| 480 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the | |
| 481 ordinary General Public License). | |
| 482 | |
| 483 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is | |
| 484 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
| 485 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the | |
| 486 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
| 487 | |
| 488 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
| 489 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
| 490 | |
| 491 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or | |
| 492 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public | |
| 493 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | |
| 494 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. | |
| 495 | |
| 496 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
| 497 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
| 498 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | |
| 499 Lesser General Public License for more details. | |
| 500 | |
| 501 You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public | |
| 502 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software | |
| 503 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | |
| 504 | |
| 505 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
| 506 | |
| 507 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | |
| 508 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | |
| 509 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | |
| 510 | |
| 511 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | |
| 512 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. | |
