| 10 | From /usr/share/doc/pulseaudio-10.0/LICENSE
|
|---|
| 11 | All PulseAudio source files, except as noted below, are licensed under the GNU
|
|---|
| 12 | Lesser General Public License. (see file LGPL for details)
|
|---|
| 13 | However, the server side has optional GPL dependencies. These include the
|
|---|
| 14 | libsamplerate and gdbm (core libraries), LIRC (lirc module) and FFTW (equalizer
|
|---|
| 15 | module), although others may also be included in the future. If PulseAudio is
|
|---|
| 16 | compiled with these optional components, this effectively downgrades the
|
|---|
| 17 | license of the server part to GPL (see the file GPL for details), exercising
|
|---|
| 18 | section 3 of the LGPL. In such circumstances, you should treat the client
|
|---|
| 19 | library (libpulse) of PulseAudio as being LGPL licensed and the server part
|
|---|
| 20 | (libpulsecore) as being GPL licensed. Since the PulseAudio daemon, tests,
|
|---|
| 21 | various utilities/helpers and the modules link to libpulsecore and/or the afore
|
|---|
| 22 | mentioned optional GPL dependencies they are of course also GPL licensed also
|
|---|
| 23 | in this scenario.
|
|---|
| 24 | In addition to this, if D-Bus support is enabled, the PulseAudio client library
|
|---|
| 25 | (libpulse) MAY need to be licensed under the GPL, depending on the license
|
|---|
| 26 | adopted for libdbus. libdbus is licensed under either of the Academic Free
|
|---|
| 27 | License 2.1 or GPL 2.0 or above. Which of these applies is your choice, and the
|
|---|
| 28 | result affects the licensing of libpulse and thus, potentially, all programs
|
|---|
| 29 | that link to libpulse.
|
|---|
| 30 | Andre Adrian's echo cancellation implementation is licensed under a less
|
|---|
| 31 | restrictive license - see src/modules/echo-cancel/adrian-license.txt for
|
|---|
| 32 | details.
|
|---|
| 33 | Some other files pulled into PA source (i.e. reference implementations that are
|
|---|
| 34 | considered too small and stable to be considered as an external library) use the
|
|---|
| 35 | more permissive MIT license. This include the device reservation DBus protocol
|
|---|
| 36 | and realtime kit implementations.
|
|---|
| 37 | A more permissive BSD-style license is used for LFE filters, see
|
|---|
| 38 | src/pulsecore/filter/LICENSE.WEBKIT for details.
|
|---|
| 39 | Additionally, a more permissive Sun license is used for code that performs
|
|---|
| 40 | u-law, A-law and linear PCM conversions.
|
|---|
| 41 | The qpaeq program (src/utils/qpaeq) is licensed under the GNU Affero General
|
|---|
| 42 | Public License (version 3, or any later version at your discretion). See the
|
|---|
| 43 | file AGPL for details.
|
|---|
| 44 | While we attempt to provide a summary here, it is the ultimate responsibility of
|
|---|
| 45 | the packager to ensure the components they use in their build of PulseAudio
|
|---|
| 46 | meets their license requirements.

| 324 | Preamble
|
|---|
| 325 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
|---|
| 326 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
|---|
| 327 | Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
|
|---|
| 328 | free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
|
|---|
| 329 | This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
|
|---|
| 330 | specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
|
|---|
| 331 | Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
|
|---|
| 332 | can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
|
|---|
| 333 | this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
|
|---|
| 334 | strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations
|
|---|
| 335 | below.
|
|---|
| 336 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
|
|---|
| 337 | not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
|
|---|
| 338 | you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
|
|---|
| 339 | for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
|
|---|
| 340 | it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
|
|---|
| 341 | it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
|
|---|
| 342 | these things.
|
|---|
| 343 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
|---|
| 344 | distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
|
|---|
| 345 | rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
|
|---|
| 346 | you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
|
|---|
| 347 | For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
|
|---|
| 348 | or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
|
|---|
| 349 | you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
|
|---|
| 350 | code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
|
|---|
| 351 | complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
|
|---|
| 352 | with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
|
|---|
| 353 | it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|---|
| 354 | We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
|
|---|
| 355 | library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
|
|---|
| 356 | permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
|
|---|
| 357 | To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
|
|---|
| 358 | there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
|
|---|
| 359 | modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
|
|---|
| 360 | that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
|
|---|
| 361 | author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
|
|---|
| 362 | introduced by others.
|
|---|
| 363 |
|
|---|
| 364 | Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
|
|---|
| 365 | any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
|
|---|
| 366 | effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
|
|---|
| 367 | restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
|
|---|
| 368 | any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
|
|---|
| 369 | consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
|
|---|
| 370 | Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
|
|---|
| 371 | ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
|
|---|
| 372 | General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
|
|---|
| 373 | is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
|
|---|
| 374 | this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
|
|---|
| 375 | libraries into non-free programs.
|
|---|
| 376 | When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
|
|---|
| 377 | a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
|
|---|
| 378 | combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
|
|---|
| 379 | General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
|
|---|
| 380 | entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
|
|---|
| 381 | Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
|
|---|
| 382 | the library.
|
|---|
| 383 | We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
|
|---|
| 384 | does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
|
|---|
| 385 | Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
|
|---|
| 386 | of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
|
|---|
| 387 | are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
|
|---|
| 388 | libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
|
|---|
| 389 | special circumstances.
|
|---|
| 390 | For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
|
|---|
| 391 | encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
|
|---|
| 392 | becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must
|
|---|
| 393 | be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
|
|---|
| 394 | library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
|
|---|
| 395 | case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
|
|---|
| 396 | software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
|
|---|
| 397 | In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
|
|---|
| 398 | programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
|
|---|
| 399 | free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
|
|---|
| 400 | non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
|
|---|
| 401 | operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
|
|---|
| 402 | system.
|
|---|
| 403 | Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
|
|---|
| 404 | users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
|
|---|
| 405 | linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
|
|---|
| 406 | that program using a modified version of the Library.
|
|---|
| 407 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|---|
| 408 | modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
|
|---|
| 409 | "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
|
|---|
| 410 | former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
|
|---|
| 411 | be combined with the library in order to run.
|
|---|
| 412 | GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|---|
| 413 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
|---|
| 414 | 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
|
|---|
| 415 | program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
|
|---|
| 416 | other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
|
|---|
| 417 | this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
|
|---|
| 418 | Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
|---|
| 419 | A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
|
|---|
| 420 | prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
|
|---|
| 421 | (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
|
|---|
| 422 | The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
|
|---|
| 423 | which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
|
|---|
| 424 | Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
|
|---|
| 425 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
|
|---|
| 426 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
|
|---|
| 427 | straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
|
|---|
| 428 | included without limitation in the term "modification".)
|
|---|
| 429 | "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
|---|
| 430 | making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
|
|---|
| 431 | all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
|
|---|
| 432 | interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
|
|---|
| 433 | compilation and installation of the library.
|
|---|
| 434 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
|
|---|
| 435 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
|
|---|
| 436 | running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
|
|---|
| 437 | such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
|
|---|
| 438 | on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
|
|---|
| 439 | writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
|
|---|
| 440 | and what the program that uses the Library does.
|
|---|
| 441 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
|
|---|
| 442 | complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
|
|---|
| 443 | you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
|
|---|
| 444 | appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
|
|---|
| 445 | all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
|
|---|
| 446 | warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
|
|---|
| 447 | Library.
|
|---|
| 448 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
|
|---|
| 449 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
|
|---|
| 450 | fee.
|
|---|
| 451 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
|
|---|
| 452 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
|
|---|
| 453 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
|
|---|
| 454 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|---|
| 455 | a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
|
|---|
| 456 | b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
|
|---|
| 457 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
|---|
| 458 | c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
|
|---|
| 459 | charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
|
|---|
| 460 | d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
|
|---|
| 461 | table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
|
|---|
| 462 | the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
|
|---|
| 463 | is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
|
|---|
| 464 | in the event an application does not supply such function or
|
|---|
| 465 | table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
|
|---|
| 466 | its purpose remains meaningful.
|
|---|
| 467 | (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
|
|---|
| 468 | a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
|
|---|
| 469 | application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
|
|---|
| 470 | application-supplied function or table used by this function must
|
|---|
| 471 | be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
|
|---|
| 472 | root function must still compute square roots.)
|
|---|
| 473 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
|---|
| 474 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
|
|---|
| 475 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
|
|---|
| 476 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
|
|---|
| 477 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
|
|---|
| 478 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
|
|---|
| 479 | on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
|
|---|
| 480 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
|
|---|
| 481 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
|
|---|
| 482 | it.
|
|---|
| 483 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
|
|---|
| 484 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
|
|---|
| 485 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
|
|---|
| 486 | collective works based on the Library.
|
|---|
| 487 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
|
|---|
| 488 | with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
|
|---|
| 489 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
|
|---|
| 490 | the scope of this License.
|
|---|
| 491 | 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
|
|---|
| 492 | License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
|
|---|
| 493 | this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
|
|---|
| 494 | that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
|
|---|
| 495 | instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
|
|---|
| 496 | ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
|
|---|
| 497 | that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
|
|---|
| 498 | these notices.
|
|---|
| 499 | Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
|
|---|
| 500 | that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
|
|---|
| 501 | subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
|
|---|
| 502 | This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
|
|---|
| 503 | the Library into a program that is not a library.
|
|---|
| 504 | 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
|
|---|
| 505 | derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
|
|---|
| 506 | under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
|
|---|
| 507 | it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
|
|---|
| 508 | must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
|
|---|
| 509 | medium customarily used for software interchange.
|
|---|
| 510 | If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
|
|---|
| 511 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
|
|---|
| 512 | source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
|
|---|
| 513 | distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
|
|---|
| 514 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
|---|
| 515 | 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
|
|---|
| 516 | Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
|
|---|
| 517 | linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
|
|---|
| 518 | work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
|
|---|
| 519 | therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
|
|---|
| 520 | However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
|
|---|
| 521 | creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
|
|---|
| 522 | contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
|
|---|
| 523 | library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
|
|---|
| 524 | Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
|
|---|
| 525 | When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
|
|---|
| 526 | that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
|
|---|
| 527 | derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
|
|---|
| 528 | Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
|
|---|
| 529 | linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
|
|---|
| 530 | threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
|
|---|
| 531 | If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
|
|---|
| 532 | structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
|
|---|
| 533 | functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
|
|---|
| 534 | file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
|
|---|
| 535 | work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
|
|---|
| 536 | Library will still fall under Section 6.)
|
|---|
| 537 | Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
|
|---|
| 538 | distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
|
|---|
| 539 | Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
|
|---|
| 540 | whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
|
|---|
| 541 | 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
|
|---|
| 542 | link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
|
|---|
| 543 | work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
|
|---|
| 544 | under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
|
|---|
| 545 | modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
|
|---|
| 546 | engineering for debugging such modifications.
|
|---|
| 547 | You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
|
|---|
| 548 | Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
|
|---|
| 549 | this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
|
|---|
| 550 | during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
|
|---|
| 551 | copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
|
|---|
| 552 | directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
|
|---|
| 553 | of these things:
|
|---|
| 554 | a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
|
|---|
| 555 | machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
|
|---|
| 556 | changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
|
|---|
| 557 | Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
|
|---|
| 558 | with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
|
|---|
| 559 | uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
|
|---|
| 560 | user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
|
|---|
| 561 | executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
|
|---|
| 562 | that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
|
|---|
| 563 | Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
|
|---|
| 564 | to use the modified definitions.)
|
|---|
| 565 | b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
|
|---|
| 566 | Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
|
|---|
| 567 | copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
|
|---|
| 568 | rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
|
|---|
| 569 | will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
|
|---|
| 570 | the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
|
|---|
| 571 | interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
|
|---|
| 572 | c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least
|
|---|
| 573 | three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
|
|---|
| 574 | Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
|
|---|
| 575 | performing this distribution.
|
|---|
| 576 | d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
|
|---|
| 577 | from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
|
|---|
| 578 | specified materials from the same place.
|
|---|
| 579 | e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
|
|---|
| 580 | materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
|
|---|
| 581 | For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
|
|---|
| 582 | Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
|
|---|
| 583 | reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
|
|---|
| 584 | the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
|
|---|
| 585 | normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
|
|---|
| 586 | components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
|
|---|
| 587 | which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
|
|---|
| 588 | the executable.
|
|---|
| 589 | It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
|
|---|
| 590 | restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
|
|---|
| 591 | accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
|
|---|
| 592 | use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
|
|---|
| 593 | distribute.
|
|---|
| 594 | 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
|
|---|
| 595 | Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
|
|---|
| 596 | facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
|
|---|
| 597 | library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
|
|---|
| 598 | the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
|
|---|
| 599 | permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
|
|---|
| 600 | a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
|
|---|
| 601 | based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
|
|---|
| 602 | facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
|
|---|
| 603 | Sections above.
|
|---|
| 604 | b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
|
|---|
| 605 | that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
|
|---|
| 606 | where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
|
|---|
| 607 | 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
|
|---|
| 608 | the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
|
|---|
| 609 | attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
|
|---|
| 610 | distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
|
|---|
| 611 | rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
|
|---|
| 612 | or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
|
|---|
| 613 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
|---|
| 614 | 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
|
|---|
| 615 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
|
|---|
| 616 | distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
|
|---|
| 617 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
|
|---|
| 618 | modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
|
|---|
| 619 | Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
|
|---|
| 620 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
|---|
| 621 | the Library or works based on it.
|
|---|
| 622 | 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
|
|---|
| 623 | Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
|---|
| 624 | original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
|
|---|
| 625 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
|---|
| 626 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
|
|---|
| 627 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
|
|---|
| 628 | this License.
|
|---|
| 629 | 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
|---|
| 630 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
|
|---|
| 631 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
|---|
| 632 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
|---|
| 633 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
|
|---|
| 634 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
|
|---|
| 635 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
|
|---|
| 636 | may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
|
|---|
| 637 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
|
|---|
| 638 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
|
|---|
| 639 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
|
|---|
| 640 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
|
|---|
| 641 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
|
|---|
| 642 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
|
|---|
| 643 | apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
|
|---|
| 644 | circumstances.
|
|---|
| 645 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
|
|---|
| 646 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
|
|---|
| 647 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
|
|---|
| 648 | integrity of the free software distribution system which is
|
|---|
| 649 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
|
|---|
| 650 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
|
|---|
| 651 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
|---|
| 652 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
|
|---|
| 653 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
|
|---|
| 654 | impose that choice.
|
|---|
| 655 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
|
|---|
| 656 | be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
|---|
| 657 | 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
|
|---|
| 658 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
|
|---|
| 659 | original copyright holder who places the Library under this License
|
|---|
| 660 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
|
|---|
| 661 | countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
|
|---|
| 662 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
|
|---|
| 663 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
|
|---|
| 664 | 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
|
|---|
| 665 | versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
|
|---|
| 666 | Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
|
|---|
| 667 | but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|---|
| 668 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
|
|---|
| 669 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
|
|---|
| 670 | "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
|
|---|
| 671 | conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
|
|---|
| 672 | the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
|
|---|
| 673 | license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
|
|---|
| 674 | the Free Software Foundation.
|
|---|
| 675 | 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
|
|---|
| 676 | programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
|
|---|
| 677 | write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
|
|---|
| 678 | copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
|
|---|
| 679 | Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
|
|---|
| 680 | decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
|
|---|
| 681 | of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
|
|---|
| 682 | and reuse of software generally.
|
|---|
| 683 | NO WARRANTY
|
|---|
| 684 | 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|---|
| 685 | WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
|
|---|
| 686 | EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
|
|---|
| 687 | OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
|
|---|
| 688 | KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
|
|---|
| 689 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
|---|
| 690 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
|
|---|
| 691 | LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
|
|---|
| 692 | THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|---|
| 693 | 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
|
|---|
| 694 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
|
|---|
| 695 | AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
|
|---|
| 696 | FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
|
|---|
| 697 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
|
|---|
| 698 | LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
|
|---|
| 699 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
|
|---|
| 700 | FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
|
|---|
| 701 | SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
|
|---|
| 702 | DAMAGES.
|
|---|
| 703 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|---|
| 704 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
|
|---|
| 705 | If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|---|
| 706 | possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
|
|---|
| 707 | everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
|
|---|
| 708 | redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms
|
|---|
| 709 | of the ordinary General Public License).
|
|---|
| 710 | To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library.
|
|---|
| 711 | It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
|
|---|
| 712 | effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
|
|---|
| 713 | have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
|
|---|
| 714 | notice is found.
|
|---|
| 715 | <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
|---|
| 716 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

|

| 728 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|---|
| 729 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
|
|---|
| 730 | your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library,
|
|---|
| 731 | if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

| 732 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
|
|---|
