    1111Preamble 
    1212 
    13 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share 
    14 and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to 
    15 guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the 
    16 software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most 
    17 of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose 
    18 authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is 
    19 covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 
    20 your programs, too. 
     13The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to 
     14share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is 
     15intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to 
     16make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public 
     17License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to 
     18any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free 
     19Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public 
     20License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. 
    2121 
    2222When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our 
    23 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to 
    24 distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), 
    25 that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change 
    26 the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can 
    27 do these things. 
    28  
    29 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny 
    30 you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions 
    31 translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the 
    32 software, or if you modify it. 
    33  
    34 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a 
    35 fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make 
    36 sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them 
    37 these terms so they know their rights. 
    38  
    39 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer 
    40 you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or 
    41 modify the software. 
     23General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom 
     24to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you 
     25wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you 
     26can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that 
     27you know you can do these things. 
     28 
     29To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to 
     30deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These 
     31restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 
     32distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 
     33 
     34For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or 
     35for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You 
     36must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you 
     37must show them these terms so they know their rights. 
     38 
     39We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) 
     40offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute 
     41and/or modify the software. 
    4242 
    4343Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that 
    44 everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the 
    45 software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to 
    46 know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by 
    47 others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. 
    48  
    49 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish 
    50 to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually 
    51 obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent 
    52 this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free 
    53 use or not licensed at all. 
     44everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If 
     45the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its

     47problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' 
     48reputations.

     50Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We 
     51wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will 
     52individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program

     54licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

    5556The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification 
    56 follow.  
     57follow. 
    5758 
    5859TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 
    5960 
    60 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice 
    61 placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of 
    62 this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or 
    63 work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any 
    64 derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the 
    65 Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or 
    66 translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without 
    67 limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 
    68  
    69 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by 
    70 this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not 
    71 restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents 
    72 constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by 
    73 running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 
    74  
    75 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as 
    76 you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately 
    77 publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; 
    78 keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any 
    79 warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 
    80 along with the Program. 
    81  
    82 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at 
    83 your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 
    84  
    85 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus 
    86 forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications 
    87 or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of 
    88 these conditions: 
    89  
    90     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that 
    91     you changed the files and the date of any change. 
    92  
    93     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or 
    94     in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be 
    95     licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of 
    96     this License. 
    97  
    98     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, 
    99     you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most 
    100     ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate 
    101     copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying 
    102     that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program 
    103     under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 
    104     License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not 
    105     normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not 
    106     required to print an announcement.) 
     610. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a 
     62notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under 
     63the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to 
     64any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either 
     65the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a 
     66work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with 
     67modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, 
     68translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) 
     69Each licensee is addressed as "you". 
     70 
     71Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 
     72covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the 
     73Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only 
     74if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of 
     75having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on 
     76what the Program does. 
     77 
     781. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code 
     79as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 
     80appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 
     81disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this 
     82License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients 
     83of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. 
     84 
     85You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you 
     86may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 
     87 
     882. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, 
     89thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such 
     90modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you 
     91also meet all of these conditions: 
     92 
     93    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating 
     94    that you changed the files and the date of any change. 
     95 
     96    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 
     97    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part 
     98    thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties 
     99    under the terms of this License. 
     100 
     101    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when 
     102    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use 
     103    in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including 
     104    an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty 
     105    (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may 
     106    redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user 
     107    how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself 
     108    is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your 
     109    work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 
    107110 
    108111These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable 
    109 sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably 
    110 considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and 
    111 its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate 
    112 works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a 
    113 work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 
    114 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, 
    115 and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 
     112sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be 
     113reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then 
     114this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you 
     115distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same 
     116sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the 
     117distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose 
     118permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to 
     119each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 
    116120 
    117121Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your 
    118 rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the 
    119 right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the 
    120 Program. 
    121  
    122 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the 
    123 Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or 
    124 distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this 
    125 License. 
    126  
    127 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 
    128 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above 
    129 provided that you also do one of the following: 
     122rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise 
     123the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works 
     124based on the Program. 
     125 
     126In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with 
     127the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage 
     128or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of 
     129this License. 
     130 
     1313. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under 
     132Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 
     133and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 
    130134 
    131135    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source 
    132     code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on 
    133     a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 
    134  
    135     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to 
    136     give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically 
    137     performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the 
    138     corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 
    139     and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 
     136    code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 
     137    above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 
     138 
     139    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, 
     140    to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of 
     141    physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable 
     142    copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the 
     143    terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for 
     144    software interchange; or, 
    140145 
    141146    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to 
    142     distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for 
    143     noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object 
    144     code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b 
    145     above.) 
     147    distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only 
     148    for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in 
     149    object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with 
     150    Subsection b above.) 
    146151 
    147152The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 
    148 modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the 
    149 source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
    150 definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation 
    151 of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed 
    152 need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or 
    153 binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 
    154 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself 
    155 accompanies the executable. 
    156  
    157 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy 
    158 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code 
    159 from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third 
    160 parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 
    161  
    162 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as 
    163 expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, 
    164 sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate 
    165 your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or 
    166 rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so 
    167 long as such parties remain in full compliance. 
    168  
    169 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. 
    170 However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program 
    171 or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not 
    172 accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any 
    173 work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do 
    174 so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the 
    175 Program or works based on it. 
    176  
    177 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), 
    178 the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to 
    179 copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. 
    180 You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the 
    181 rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third 
    182 parties to this License. 
    183  
    184 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement 
    185 or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed 
    186 on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the 
    187 conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this 
    188 License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your 
    189 obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a 
    190 consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 
    191 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those 
    192 who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you 
    193 could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from 
    194 distribution of the Program. 
     153modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all 
     154the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
     155definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and 
     156installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source 
     157code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in 
     158either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, 
     159and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless 
     160that component itself accompanies the executable. 
     161 
     162If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to 
     163copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the 
     164source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, 
     165even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with 
     166the object code. 
     167 
     1684. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except 
     169as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, 
     170modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will 
     171automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties 
     172who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not 
     173have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full 
     174compliance. 
     175 
     1765. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed 
     177it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the 
     178Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you 
     179do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the 
     180Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of 
     181this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, 
     182distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 
     183 
     1846. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 
     185Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original 
     186licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms 
     187and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the 
     188recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible 
     189for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 
     190 
     1917. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 
     192infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 
     193conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 
     194otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 
     195excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so 
     196as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any 
     197other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute 
     198the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit 
     199royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies 
     200directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy 
     201both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of 
     202the Program. 
    195203

    264275How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 
    265276 
    266 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use 
    267 to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which 
    268 everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 
    269  
    270 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach 
    271 them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion 
    272 of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a 
    273 pointer to where the full notice is found.

    24 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better 
    25 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations

     15Preamble 
     16 
     17The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to 
     18share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are 
     19intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to 
     20make sure the software is free for all its users. 
     21 
     22This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially 
     23designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software 
     24Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but 
     25we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the 
     26ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any 
     27particular case, based on the explanations below. 
     28 
     29When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not 
     30price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have 
     31the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this 
     32service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you 
     33want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free 
     34programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. 
     35 
     36To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 
    3737distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these 
    38 rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for 
    39 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. 
    40  
    41   For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis 
    42 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave 
    43 you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 
    44 code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide 
    45 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them 
    46 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling 
    47 it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. 
    48  
    49   We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the 
     38rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if 
     39you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. 
     40 
     41For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whet
