GNU Lesser General Public License
2+
=================================
3+
4+
_Version 3, 29 June 2007_
5+
_Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. &lt;<http://fsf.org/>&gt;_
6+
7+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
8+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
9+
10+
11+
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
12+
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
13+
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
14+
15+
### 0. Additional Definitions
16+
17+
As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
18+
General Public License, and the “GNU GPL” refers to version 3 of the GNU
19+
General Public License.
20+
21+
“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License,
22+
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
23+
24+
An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided
25+
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
26+
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
27+
of using an interface provided by the Library.
28+
29+
A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an
30+
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
31+
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked
32+
Version”.
33+
34+
The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the
35+
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
36+
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
37+
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
38+
39+
The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the
40+
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
41+
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
42+
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
43+
44+
### 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL
45+
46+
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
47+
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
48+
49+
### 2. Conveying Modified Versions
50+
51+
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
52+
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
53+
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
54+
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
55+
version:
56+
57+
* **a)** under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
58+
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
59+
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
60+
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
61+
62+
* **b)** under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
63+
this License applicable to that copy.
64+
65+
### 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files
66+
67+
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
68+
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
69+
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
70+
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
71+
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
72+
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
73+
74+
* **a)** Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
75+
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
76+
covered by this License.
77+
* **b)** Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
78+
document.
79+
80+
### 4. Combined Works
81+
82+
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
83+
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
84+
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
85+
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
86+
the following:
87+
88+
* **a)** Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
89+
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
90+
covered by this License.
91+
92+
* **b)** Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
93+
document.
94+
95+
* **c)** For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
96+
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
97+
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
98+
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
99+
100+
* **d)** Do one of the following:
101+
- **0)** Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
102+
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
103+
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
104+
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
105+
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
106+
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
107+
Corresponding Source.
108+
- **1)** Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
109+
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that **(a)** uses at run time
110+
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
111+
system, and **(b)** will operate properly with a modified version
112+
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
113+
Version.
114+
115+
* **e)** Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
116+
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
117+
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
118+
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
119+
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
120+
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
121+
you use option **4d0**, the Installation Information must accompany
122+
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
123+
Code. If you use option **4d1**, you must provide the Installation
124+
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
125+
for conveying Corresponding Source.)
126+
127+
### 5. Combined Libraries
128+
129+
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
130+
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
131+
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
132+
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
133+
choice, if you do both of the following:
134+
135+
* **a)** Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
136+
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
137+
conveyed under the terms of this License.
138+
* **b)** Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
139+
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
140+
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
141+
142+
### 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License
143+
144+
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
145+
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
146+
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
147+
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
148+
149+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
150+
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
151+
of the GNU Lesser General Public License “or any later version”
152+
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
153+
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
154+
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
155+
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
156+
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
157+
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
158+
159+
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
160+
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
161+
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
162+
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
163+
Library.
