GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
-
0.
Additional Definitions.
-
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of
the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the "GNU GPL"
refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
-
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface
provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the
Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library
is deemed a mode of using an interface provided by the Library.
-
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or
linking an Application with the Library. The particular
version of the Library with which the Combined
Work was made is also called the "Linked Version".
-
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined
Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined
Work, excluding any source code for portions of the
Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based
on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
-
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined
Work means the object code and/or source code for the
Application, including any data and utility programs needed
for reproducing the Combined Work from the Application,
but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
-
1.
Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this
License without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
-
2.
Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your
modifications, a facility refers to a function or data
to be supplied by an Application that uses the facility
(other than as an argument passed when the facility is
invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified version:
-
a)
under this License, provided that you make a good faith
effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does not
supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
-
b)
under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional
permissions of this License applicable to that copy.
-
3.
Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
-
a)
Give prominent notice with each copy of the object
code that the Library is used in it and that the
Library and its use are covered by this License.
-
b)
Accompany the object code with a copy of
the GNU GPL and this license document.
-
4.
Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that, taken
together, effectively do not restrict modification of the portions of
the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse engineering for
debugging such modifications, if you also do each of the following:
-
a)
Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined
Work that the Library is used in it and that the
Library and its use are covered by this License.
-
b)
Accompany the Combined Work with a copy
of the GNU GPL and this license document.
-
c)
For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library
among these notices, as well as a reference directing the
user to the copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
-
d)
Do one of the following:
-
0)
Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms
of this License, and the Corresponding Application Code
in a form suitable for, and under terms that permit,
the user to recombine or relink the Application with
a modified version of the Linked Version to produce a
modified Combined Work, in the manner specified by section
6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.
-
1)
Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking
with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that
(a) uses at run time a copy of the Library already
present on the user's computer system, and (b) will
operate properly with a modified version of the Library
that is interface-compatible with the Linked Version.
-
e)
Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the GNU
GPL, and only to the extent that such information is necessary to
install and execute a modified version of the Combined Work produced
by recombining or relinking the Application with a modified version
of the Linked Version. (If you use option 4d0, the Installation
Information must accompany the Minimal Corresponding Source and
Corresponding Application Code. If you use option 4d1, you must
provide the Installation Information in the manner specified by
section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying Corresponding Source.)
-
5.
Combined Libraries.
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 that are not Applications and are not
covered by this License, and convey such a combined library
under terms of your choice, if you do both of the following:
-
a)
Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities, conveyed under the terms of this License.
-
b)
Give prominent notice with the combined library that part
of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where
to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
-
6.
Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the GNU Lesser 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
as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version of the
GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version" applies
to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that published version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you received it
does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser General Public
License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser General
Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy
can decide whether future versions of the GNU Lesser
General Public License shall apply, that proxy's public
statement of acceptance of any version is permanent
authorization for you to choose that version for the Library.
