GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
||||||
|
Version 2, June 1991
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||||||
|
675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
|
||||||
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
||||||
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Preamble
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
||||||
|
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
||||||
|
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
|
||||||
|
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
|
||||||
|
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
|
||||||
|
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
|
||||||
|
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
|
||||||
|
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
|
||||||
|
your programs, 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 software, or if you modify it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
||||||
|
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
|
||||||
|
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
|
||||||
|
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
|
||||||
|
rights.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
|
||||||
|
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
|
||||||
|
distribute and/or modify the software.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
|
||||||
|
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
|
||||||
|
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
|
||||||
|
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, 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 redistributors of a free
|
||||||
|
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
|
||||||
|
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
|
||||||
|
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
||||||
|
modification follow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
||||||
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
|
||||||
|
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
|
||||||
|
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
|
||||||
|
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
|
||||||
|
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
|
||||||
|
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
|
||||||
|
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
|
||||||
|
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
|
||||||
|
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
|
||||||
|
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
|
||||||
|
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
|
||||||
|
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
|
||||||
|
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
|
||||||
|
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
|
||||||
|
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 give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
|
||||||
|
along with the Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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 Program or any portion
|
||||||
|
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, 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) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
|
||||||
|
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
|
||||||
|
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
|
||||||
|
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
|
||||||
|
parties under the terms of this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
|
||||||
|
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
|
||||||
|
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
|
||||||
|
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
|
||||||
|
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
|
||||||
|
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
|
||||||
|
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
|
||||||
|
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
|
||||||
|
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
|
||||||
|
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
||||||
|
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
|
||||||
|
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 Program, 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 Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
|
||||||
|
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
|
||||||
|
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
|
||||||
|
the scope of this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
|
||||||
|
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
|
||||||
|
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a) 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; or,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
|
||||||
|
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
|
||||||
|
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
|
||||||
|
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
|
||||||
|
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
|
||||||
|
customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
|
||||||
|
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
|
||||||
|
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
|
||||||
|
received the program in object code or executable form with such
|
||||||
|
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
||||||
|
making modifications to it. For an executable work, 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 executable. However, as a
|
||||||
|
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
|
||||||
|
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
|
||||||
|
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
|
||||||
|
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
|
||||||
|
itself accompanies the executable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If distribution of executable or 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 counts as
|
||||||
|
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
|
||||||
|
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
|
||||||
|
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
|
||||||
|
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
|
||||||
|
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
||||||
|
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
|
||||||
|
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
|
||||||
|
parties remain in full compliance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
|
||||||
|
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
|
||||||
|
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
|
||||||
|
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
|
||||||
|
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
|
||||||
|
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
|
||||||
|
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
||||||
|
the Program or works based on it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
|
||||||
|
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
||||||
|
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
|
||||||
|
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
||||||
|
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
|
||||||
|
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
|
||||||
|
this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
||||||
|
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
|
||||||
|
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
||||||
|
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
||||||
|
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
|
||||||
|
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
|
||||||
|
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
|
||||||
|
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
|
||||||
|
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
|
||||||
|
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
|
||||||
|
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
|
||||||
|
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
|
||||||
|
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
|
||||||
|
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
|
||||||
|
circumstances.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
|
||||||
|
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
|
||||||
|
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
|
||||||
|
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
|
||||||
|
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
|
||||||
|
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
|
||||||
|
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
||||||
|
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
|
||||||
|
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
|
||||||
|
impose that choice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
|
||||||
|
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
|
||||||
|
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
|
||||||
|
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
|
||||||
|
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
|
||||||
|
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
||||||
|
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
|
||||||
|
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
||||||
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
|
||||||
|
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
||||||
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
|
||||||
|
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
||||||
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
|
||||||
|
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
|
||||||
|
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
||||||
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
||||||
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
||||||
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Appendix: 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) 19yy <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., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, 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) 19yy 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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Ty Coon, President of Vice
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.

GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
||||||
|
==================================
|
||||||
|
Version 2, June 1991
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||||||
|
675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, 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 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:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the
|
||||||
|
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:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
|
||||||
|
machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
|
||||||
|
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
|
||||||
|
Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
|
||||||
|
with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
|
||||||
|
uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
|
||||||
|
user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
|
||||||
|
executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
|
||||||
|
that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
|
||||||
|
Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
|
||||||
|
to use the modified definitions.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
|
||||||
|
least three years, to give the same user the materials
|
||||||
|
specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
|
||||||
|
than the cost of performing this distribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
|
||||||
|
from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
|
||||||
|
specified materials from the same place.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
|
||||||
|
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
|
||||||
|
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
|
||||||
|
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special
|
||||||
|
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything
|
||||||
|
that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
|
||||||
|
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
|
||||||
|
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
|
||||||
|
component itself accompanies the executable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
|
||||||
|
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
|
||||||
|
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you
|
||||||
|
cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable
|
||||||
|
that you distribute.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
|
||||||
|
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other
|
||||||
|
library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute
|
||||||
|
such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution
|
||||||
|
of the work based on the Library and of the other library
|
||||||
|
facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do
|
||||||
|
these two things:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
|
||||||
|
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
|
||||||
|
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
|
||||||
|
Sections above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
|
||||||
|
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
|
||||||
|
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
|
||||||
|
distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
|
||||||
|
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
|
||||||
|
link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will
|
||||||
|
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
||||||
|
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you
|
||||||
|
under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
|
||||||
|
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have
|
||||||
|
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
|
||||||
|
modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These
|
||||||
|
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
|
||||||
|
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library
|
||||||
|
(or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance
|
||||||
|
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
|
||||||
|
copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on
|
||||||
|
it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on
|
||||||
|
the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license
|
||||||
|
from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or
|
||||||
|
modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You
|
||||||
|
may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
|
||||||
|
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
|
||||||
|
for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
|
||||||
|
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
|
||||||
|
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
|
||||||
|
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
|
||||||
|
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
|
||||||
|
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
|
||||||
|
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
|
||||||
|
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
|
||||||
|
distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license
|
||||||
|
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
|
||||||
|
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you,
|
||||||
|
then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
|
||||||
|
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
|
||||||
|
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
|
||||||
|
intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to
|
||||||
|
apply in other circumstances.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
|
||||||
|
any patents or other property right claims or to contest
|
||||||
|
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
|
||||||
|
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
|
||||||
|
system which is implemented by public license practices. Many
|
||||||
|
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
|
||||||
|
software distributed through that system in reliance on
|
||||||
|
consistent application of that system; it is up to the
|
||||||
|
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
|
||||||
|
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
|
||||||
|
that choice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
|
||||||
|
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
|
||||||
|
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
|
||||||
|
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library
|
||||||
|
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.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
|
||||||
|
versions of the Library 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
|
||||||
|
Library 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
|
||||||
|
Library does not specify a license version number, you may
|
||||||
|
choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
||||||
|
Foundation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other
|
||||||
|
free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
|
||||||
|
with these, 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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
||||||
|
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
|
||||||
|
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
|
||||||
|
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
|
||||||
|
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
|
||||||
|
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
||||||
|
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
|
||||||
|
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
|
||||||
|
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
|
||||||
|
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
|
||||||
|
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
|
||||||
|
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
|
||||||
|
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
|
||||||
|
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
|
||||||
|
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
|
||||||
|
FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
|
||||||
|
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the
|
||||||
|
greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free
|
||||||
|
software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do
|
||||||
|
so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or,
|
||||||
|
alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public
|
||||||
|
License).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the
|
||||||
|
library. 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 library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
||||||
|
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
|
||||||
|
modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
|
||||||
|
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
|
||||||
|
version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This library 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
|
||||||
|
Library General Public License for more details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public
|
||||||
|
License along with this library; if not, write to the Free
|
||||||
|
Software Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
|
||||||
|
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
|
||||||
|
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
|
||||||
|
library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

||||||

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

of this licence document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
|
WXWINDOWS LIBRARY LICENCE
|
||||||
--------
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This licence is intended to protect wxWindows, its developers,
|
|
||||||
and its users, so that the considerable investment it represents
|
|
||||||
is not abused.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Unlike the L-GPL licence, you as a user are not obliged to
|
|
||||||
distribute wxWindows source code with your products. However,
|
|
||||||
you are prevented from selling the code without permission from
|
|
||||||
the authors, or denying others the rights to use or distribute
|
|
||||||
wxWindows in the way intended.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and
|
|
||||||
related material, and it gives you legal permission to copy,
|
|
||||||
distribute and/or modify the library. It also asserts that no
|
|
||||||
warranty is given by the authors for this or derived code.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally, the licence specifies that any patent involving
|
|
||||||
wxWindows, must be licenced for everyone's free use.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
wxWindows Licence
|
|
||||||
-----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. This Licence 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 wxWindows Licence (also called "this Licence"). Each
|
|
||||||
licencee 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 Licence; 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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
|
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
|
||||||
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
|
under the terms of the GNU Library General Public Licence as published by
|
||||||
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
|
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the Licence, or (at
|
||||||
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
|
your option) any later version.
|
||||||
intact all the notices that refer to this Licence and to the
|
|
||||||
absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this Licence
|
This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
|
||||||
along with the Library.
|
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
||||||
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Library
|
||||||
|
General Public Licence for more details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public Licence
|
||||||
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
|
along with this software, usually in a file named COPYING.LIB. If not,
|
||||||
exchange for a fee.
|
write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
|
||||||
|
Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
|
EXCEPTION NOTICE
|
||||||
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 cause the files modified
|
|
||||||
to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files
|
|
||||||
and the date of any change. With agreement from the authors of
|
|
||||||
wxWindows, you may charge for value added to the Library, for
|
|
||||||
example, a commercially supported version, or a port to a new
|
|
||||||
platform. It is expected that collaboration between such
|
|
||||||
commercial interests and the free wxWindows community will yield
|
|
||||||
benefits to both parties, since wxWindows represents a
|
|
||||||
substantial investment of time and effort. It is not in the
|
|
||||||
spirit of this agreement that commercial exploitation of
|
|
||||||
wxWindows should in any way detract from the free version.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. You may copy and distribute the Library in object code or
|

|
||||||
derived library form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
|
permission for additional uses of the text contained in this release of

||||||
provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding
|

||||||

|
either version 3 of the Licence, or (at your option) any later version of
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
Licence document.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to

|
||||||

|
under the user's own terms, binary object code versions of works based

||||||

|
on the Library.
|
||||||
requirement to distribute the source code, even though third
|
|
||||||
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
|
|
||||||
object code.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
5. You may not copy, modify, sublicence, link with, or
|
3. If you copy code from files distributed under the terms of the GNU
|
||||||
distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
|
General Public Licence or the GNU Library General Public Licence into a
|
||||||
Licence. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicence,
|
copy of this library, as this licence permits, the exception does not
|
||||||
link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will
|
apply to the code that you add in this way. To avoid misleading anyone as
|
||||||
automatically terminate your rights under this Licence.
|
to the status of such modified files, you must delete this exception
|
||||||
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you
|
notice from such code and/or adjust the licensing conditions notice
|
||||||
under this Licence will not have their licences terminated so
|
accordingly.
|
||||||
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
6. You are not required to accept this Licence, since you have
|
4. If you write modifications of your own for this library, it is your
|
||||||
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
|
choice whether to permit this exception to apply to your modifications.
|
||||||
modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These
|
If you do not wish that, you must delete the exception notice from such
|
||||||
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this Licence.
|
code and/or adjust the licensing conditions notice accordingly.
|
||||||
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work
|
|
||||||
based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this
|
|
||||||
Licence to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
|
|
||||||
distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
7. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on
|
|
||||||
the Library), the recipient automatically receives a licence
|
|
||||||
from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or
|
|
||||||
modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You
|
|
||||||
may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
|
|
||||||
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
|
|
||||||
for enforcing compliance by third parties to this Licence.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
|
|
||||||
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
|
|
||||||
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
|
|
||||||
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
|
|
||||||
this Licence, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
|
|
||||||
Licence. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
|
|
||||||
simultaneously your obligations under this Licence and any other
|
|
||||||
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
|
|
||||||
distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent licence
|
|
||||||
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
|
|
||||||
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you,
|
|
||||||
then the only way you could satisfy both it and this Licence
|
|
||||||
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
|
|
||||||
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
|
|
||||||
intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to
|
|
||||||
apply in other circumstances.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
|
|
||||||
any patents or other property right claims or to contest
|
|
||||||
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
|
|
||||||
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
|
|
||||||
system which is implemented by public licence practices. Many
|
|
||||||
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
|
|
||||||
software distributed through that system in reliance on
|
|
||||||
consistent application of that system; it is up to the
|
|
||||||
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
|
|
||||||
software through any other system and a licencee cannot impose
|
|
||||||
that choice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
|
|
||||||
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this Licence.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
9. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
|
|
||||||
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
|
|
||||||
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library
|
|
||||||
under this Licence 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 Licence incorporates the limitation as if written in
|
|
||||||
the body of this Licence.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
10. The authors of wxWindows may publish revised and/or new
|
|
||||||
versions of the wxWindows Licence 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
|
|
||||||
Library specifies a version number of this Licence 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 wxWindows authors. If the Library does
|
|
||||||
not specify a licence version number, you may choose any version
|
|
||||||
ever published by the wxWindows authors.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other
|
|
||||||
free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
|
|
||||||
with these, write to the program author to ask for permission.
|
|
||||||
For software which is copyrighted by the wxWindows authors,
|
|
||||||
write to the wxWindows authors. 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
|
|
||||||
-----------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
12. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENCED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|
||||||
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
|
|
||||||
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
|
|
||||||
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT
|
|
||||||
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
|
|
||||||
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
|
|
||||||
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
|
|
||||||
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
|
||||||
LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
|
|
||||||
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO
|
|
||||||
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
|
|
||||||
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
|
|
||||||
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
|
|
||||||
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
|
|
||||||
INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS
|
|
||||||
OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
|
||||||
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH
|
|
||||||
ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
|
|
||||||
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Preamble
|
||||||
|
========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The licensing of the wxWindows library is intended to protect the wxWindows
|
||||||
|
library, its developers, and its users, so that the considerable investment
|
||||||
|
it represents is not abused.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Under the terms of the wxWindows Licence, you as a user are not
|
||||||
|
obliged to distribute wxWindows source code with your products, if you
|
||||||
|
distribute these products in binary form. However, you are prevented from
|
||||||
|
restricting use of the library in source code form, or denying others the
|
||||||
|
rights to use or distribute wxWindows library source code in the way
|
||||||
|
intended.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The wxWindows Licence establishes the copyright for the code and related
|
||||||
|
material, and it gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
|
||||||
|
modify the library. It also asserts that no warranty is given by the authors
|
||||||
|
for this or derived code.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The core distribution of the wxWindows library contains files
|
||||||
|
under two different licences:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Most files are distributed under the GNU Library General Public
|
||||||
|
Licence, version 2, with the special exception that you may create and
|
||||||
|
distribute object code versions built from the source code or modified
|
||||||
|
versions of it (even if these modified versions include code under a
|
||||||
|
different licence), and distribute such binaries under your own
|
||||||
|
terms.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Most core wxWindows manuals are made available under the "wxWindows
|
||||||
|
Free Documentation Licence", which allows you to distribute modified
|
||||||
|
versions of the manuals, such as versions documenting any modifications
|
||||||
|
made by you in your version of the library. However, you may not restrict
|
||||||
|
any third party from reincorporating your changes into the original
|
||||||
|
manuals.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other relevant files:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- licence.txt: a statement that the wxWindows library is
|
||||||
|
covered by the GNU Library General Public Licence, with an
|
||||||
|
exception notice for binary distribution.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- licencdoc.txt: the wxWindows Documentation Licence.
|
||||||
|

||||||

- lgpl.txt: the text of the GNU Library General Public Licence.

||||||
