8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted

in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted

interfaces, the original copyright holder who places

the Program under this License may add an explicit

geographical distribution limitation excluding those

countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or

among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this

License incorporates the limitation as if written in the

body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised

and/or new versions of the General Public License

from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in

spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to

address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number.

If the Program specifies a version number of this

License which applies to it and “any later version”, you

have the option of following the terms and conditions

either of that version or of any later version published

by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does

not specify a version number of this License, you

may choose any version ever published by the Free

Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into

other free programs whose distribution conditions are

different, write to the author to ask for permission. For

software which is copyrighted by the Free Software

Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we

sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will

be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status

of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting

the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of

the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to

achieve this is to make it free software which everyone

can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It

is safest to attach them to the start of each source file

to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and

each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a

pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program’s name and a brief idea

of what it does.>

Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it

and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General

Public License as published by the Free Software

Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your

option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will

be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without

even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General

Public License along with this program; if not, write to

the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place,

Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic

and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice

like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of

author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO

WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’. This is free

software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under

certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.

The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’

should show the appropriate parts of the General Public

License. Of course, the commands you use may be called

something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show c’; they could

even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your

program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a

programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright

disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a

sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest

in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at

compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating

your program into proprietary programs. If your program

is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to

permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If

this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General

Public License instead of this License.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim

copies of this license document, but changing it is not

allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It

also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public

License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away

your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the

GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee

your freedom to share and change free software--to make

sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies

to some specially designated software packages--

typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and

other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too,

but we suggest you first think carefully about whether

this license or the ordinary General Public License is the

better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the

explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to

freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses

are designed to make sure that you have the freedom

to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this

service if you wish); that you receive source code or can

get it if you want it; that you can change the software and

use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are

informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that

forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you

to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to

certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of

the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library,

whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients

all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that

they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link

other code with the library, you must provide complete

object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them

with the library after making changes to the library and

recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so

they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-

step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer

you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy,

distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear

that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the

library is modified by someone else and passed on, the

recipients should know that what they have is not the

original version, so that the original author’s reputation

will not be affected by problems that might be introduced

by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the

existence of any free program. We wish to make sure

that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of

a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a

patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license

obtained for a version of the library must be consistent

with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered

by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license,

the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain

designated libraries, and is quite different from the

ordinary General Public License. We use this license for

certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries

into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or

using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally

speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original

library. The ordinary General Public License therefore

permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its

criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License

permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the

library.

We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License

because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than

the ordinary General Public License. It also provides

other free software developers Less of an advantage over

competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are

the reason we use the ordinary General Public License

for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides

advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special

need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain

library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve

this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library.

A more frequent case is that a free library does the same

job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there

is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software

only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-

free programs enables a greater number of people to use

a large body of free software. For example, permission to

use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many

more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as

well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less

protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the

user of a program that is linked with the Library has the

freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a

modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution

and modification follow. Pay close attention to the

difference between a “work based on the library” and a

“work that uses the library”.

The former contains code derived from the library,

whereas the latter must be combined with the library in

order to run.
