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 library GPL. It is
numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]
- 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 Library General Public License, applies to
-some specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and
-to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can
-use it for your libraries, too.
-
-When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, 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 or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
-you know you can do these things.
-
-To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
-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 a program 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.
-
-Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1)
-copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which
-gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
-library.
-
-Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this
-free library. If the library is modified by someone else and
-passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is
-not the original version, so that any problems introduced by
-others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
-
-Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies
-distributing free software will individually obtain patent
-licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into
-proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear
-that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
-licensed at all.
-
-Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
-ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for
-utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public
-License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license
-is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in
-full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the
-ordinary license.
-
-The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries
-is that they blur the distinction we usually make between
-modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a
-program with a library, without changing the library, is in some
-sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a
-utility program or application program. However, in a textual
-and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
-derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General
-Public License treats it as such.
-
-Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
-Public License for libraries did not effectively promote
-software sharing, because most developers did not use the
-libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote
-sharing better.
-
-However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive
-the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status
-of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public
-License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to
-use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of
-such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated
-in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards
-changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
-changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is
-that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.
-
-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,
-while the latter only works together with the library.
-
-Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the
-ordinary General Public License rather than by this special one.
-
- GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
-0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
-contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other
-authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
-this Library 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 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
-intact 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:

-
-If distribution of object code is made by offering access to

-
-5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
-Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being

-Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work
-of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this
-License.
-
-However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
-creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library
-(because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a
-"work that uses the library". The executable is therefore
-covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution
-of such executables.
-
-When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header
-file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work
-may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source
-code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if
-the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is
-itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not
-precisely defined by law.
-
-If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
-structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small
-inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of
-the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is
-legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object
-code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section
-6.)
-
-Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
-distribute the object code for the work under the terms of
-Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under
-Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the
-Library itself.
-
-6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile
-or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to
-produce a work containing portions of the Library, and
-distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that
-the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own
-use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
-
-You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that
-the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
-covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this
-License. If the work during execution displays copyright
-notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library
-among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the
-copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

+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.
+
+ 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
+Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or

+work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
+therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
+
+ However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
+creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
+contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
+library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
+Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
+
+ When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
+that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
+derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
+Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
+linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
+threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
+
+ If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
+structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
+functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
+file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
+work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
+Library will still fall under Section 6.)
+
+ Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
+distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
+Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
+whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
+
+ 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
+link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
+work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
