* Final LGPL switch step by adjusting the file headers * Remaining issues (just slightly related to the unittest switch): * No working unittest solution for msvc2005 yet * Unittests not working with mingw + scons either though this seems hard to impossible to fix without an expert in this field * sample_unit_test.cpp would need to get modified for unittest++; it still contains the old boost unittest code

61
62 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
63 GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
64 license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
65 designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
66 one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
67 the same as in the ordinary license.
68
69 The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
70 they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
71 program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
72 changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
73 analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
74 a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
75 derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
76 treats it as such.
77
78 Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
79 Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
80 sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
81 concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
82
83 However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
84 users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
85 libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
86 permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
87 preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
88 libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
89 this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
90 changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
91 will lead to faster development of free libraries.
55 92
56 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 93 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57 modification follow. 94 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
58 95 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
59 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 96 former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
97 works together with the library.
98
99 Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
100 General Public License rather than by this special one.

134 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 198 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
135 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 199 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
136 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 200 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
137 201 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
138 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 202 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
139 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 203 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
140 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 204 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
141 205 these notices.
142 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 206
143 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 207 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
144 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 208 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all

149 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 213
150 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 214 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
151 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 215 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
152 received the program in object code or executable form with such 216 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany

156 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 220
157 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 221 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
158 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 222 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
159 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 223 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
160 special exception, the source code distributed need not include 224 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
161 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164 itself accompanies the executable.
165
166 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 225 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171 226
172 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 227 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
173 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 228 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
174 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 229 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
175 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 230 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
176 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 231 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
177 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 232
178 parties remain in full compliance. 233 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
179 234 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
180 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 235 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
236 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
237 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
238
239 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
240 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
241 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
242 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
243 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
244 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
245
246 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
247 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
248 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
249 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
250 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
251 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
252
253 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
254 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
255 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
256 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
257
258 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
259 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
260 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
261 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
262 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
263 engineering for debugging such modifications.
264
265 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
266 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
267 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
268 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
269 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
270 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
271 of these things:
272
273 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
274 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
275 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
276 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
277 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
278 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
279 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
280 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
281 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
282 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
283 to use the modified definitions.)
284
285 b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
286 least three years, to give the same user the materials
287 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
288 than the cost of performing this distribution.
289
290 c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
291 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
292 specified materials from the same place.
293
294 d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
295 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
296
297 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
298 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
299 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
300 the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
301 distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
302 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
303 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
304 the executable.
305
306 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
307 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
308 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
309 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
310 distribute.
311
312 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
313 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
314 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
315 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
316 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
317 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
318
319 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
320 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
321 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
322 Sections above.
323
324 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
325 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
326 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
327
328 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
329 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
330 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
331 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
332 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
333 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
334 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
335
336 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 337 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 338 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
