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 Lesser General

Public License instead of this License.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC

LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

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

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.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,

DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or

other program which contains a notice placed by the

be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General

Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee

is addressed as “you”.

A “library” means a collection of software functions and/

or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with

application programs (which use some of those

functions and data) to form executables.

The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or

work which has been distributed under these terms. A

“work based on the Library” means either the Library or

any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a

work containing the Library or a portion of it, either

verbatim or with modifications and/or translated

straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter,

translation is included without limitation in the term

“modification”.)

“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the

work for making modifications to it. For a library,

complete source code means all the source code for all

modules it contains, plus any associated interface

definition files, plus the scripts used to control

compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and

modification are not covered by this License; they are

outside its scope. The act of running a program using the

Library is not restricted, and output from such a program

is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on

the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool

for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the

Library does and what the program that uses the Library

does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the

Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any

medium, provided that you conspicuously and

appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate

all the notices that refer to this License and to the

absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this

License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring

a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty

protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any

portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library,

and copy and distribute such modifications or work

under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you

also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent

notices stating that you changed the files and the date

of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at

no charge to all third parties under the terms of this

License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function

or a table of data to be supplied by an application

program that uses the facility, other than as an

argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you

must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the

event an application does not supply such function or

table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever

part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example,

a function in a library to compute square roots has a

purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of

the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that

any application-supplied function or table used by this

function must be optional: if the application does not

supply it, the square root function must still compute

square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a

whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived

from the Library, and can be reasonably considered

independent and separate works in themselves, then this

License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections

when you distribute them as separate works. But when

you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which

is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the

whole must be on the terms of this License, whose

permissions for other licensees extend to the entire

whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who

wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or

contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,

the intent is to exercise the right to control the

distribution of derivative or collective works based on the

Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based

on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on

the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution

medium does not bring the other work under the scope

of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU

General Public License instead of this License to a given

copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the

notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the

ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead

of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the

ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then

you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not

make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is

irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General

Public License applies to all subsequent copies and

derivative works made from that copy. This option is

useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the

Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or

derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or

executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2

above provided that you accompany it with the complete

corresponding machine-readable source code, which

must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2

above on a medium customarily used for software

interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access

to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent

access to copy the source code from the same place

satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code,

even though third parties are not compelled to copy the

source along with the object code.
