GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
8+
Version 3, 29 June 2007
9+
10+
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
11+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
12+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
13+
14+
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
15+
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
16+
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
17+
18+
0. Additional Definitions.
19+
20+
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
21+
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
22+
General Public License.
23+
24+
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
25+
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
26+
27+
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
28+
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
29+
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
30+
of using an interface provided by the Library.
31+
32+
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
33+
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
34+
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
35+
Version".
36+
37+
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
38+
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
39+
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
40+
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
41+
42+
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
43+
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
44+
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
45+
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
46+
47+
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
48+
49+
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
50+
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
51+
52+
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
53+
54+
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
55+
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
56+
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
57+
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
58+
version:
59+
60+
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
61+
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
62+
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
63+
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
64+
65+
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
66+
this License applicable to that copy.
67+
68+
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
69+
70+
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
71+
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
72+
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
73+
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
74+
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
75+
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
76+
77+
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
78+
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
79+
covered by this License.
80+
81+
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
82+
document.
83+
84+
4. Combined Works.
85+
86+
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
87+
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
88+
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
89+
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
90+
the following:
91+
92+
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
93+
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
94+
covered by this License.
95+
96+
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
97+
document.
98+
99+
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
100+
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
101+
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
102+
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
103+
104+
d) Do one of the following:
105+
106+
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
107+
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
108+
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
109+
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
110+
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
111+
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
112+
Corresponding Source.
113+
114+
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
115+
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
116+
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
117+
system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
118+
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
119+
Version.
120+
121+
122+
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
123+
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
124+
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
125+
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
126+
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
127+
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
128+
you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
129+
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
130+
Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
131+
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
132+
for conveying Corresponding Source.)
133+
134+
5. Combined Libraries.
135+
136+
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
137+
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
138+
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
139+
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
140+
choice, if you do both of the following:
141+
142+
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
143+
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
144+
conveyed under the terms of this License.
145+
146+
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
147+
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
148+
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
149+
150+
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
151+
152+
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
153+
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
154+
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
155+
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
156+
157+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
158+
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
159+
of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
160+
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
161+
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
162+
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
163+
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
164+
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
165+
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
166+
167+
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
168+
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
169+
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
170+
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
171+
Library.
