nuclear@12 1 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
nuclear@12 2 Version 3, 29 June 2007
nuclear@12 3
nuclear@12 4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
nuclear@12 5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
nuclear@12 6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
nuclear@12 7
nuclear@12 8
nuclear@12 9 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
nuclear@12 10 the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
nuclear@12 11 License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
nuclear@12 12
nuclear@12 13 0. Additional Definitions.
nuclear@12 14
nuclear@12 15 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
nuclear@12 16 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
nuclear@12 17 General Public License.
nuclear@12 18
nuclear@12 19 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
nuclear@12 20 other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
nuclear@12 21
nuclear@12 22 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
nuclear@12 23 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
nuclear@12 24 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
nuclear@12 25 of using an interface provided by the Library.
nuclear@12 26
nuclear@12 27 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
nuclear@12 28 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
nuclear@12 29 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
nuclear@12 30 Version".
nuclear@12 31
nuclear@12 32 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
nuclear@12 33 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
nuclear@12 34 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
nuclear@12 35 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
nuclear@12 36
nuclear@12 37 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
nuclear@12 38 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
nuclear@12 39 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
nuclear@12 40 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
nuclear@12 41
nuclear@12 42 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
nuclear@12 43
nuclear@12 44 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
nuclear@12 45 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
nuclear@12 46
nuclear@12 47 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
nuclear@12 48
nuclear@12 49 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
nuclear@12 50 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
nuclear@12 51 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
nuclear@12 52 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
nuclear@12 53 version:
nuclear@12 54
nuclear@12 55 a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
nuclear@12 56 ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
nuclear@12 57 function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
nuclear@12 58 whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
nuclear@12 59
nuclear@12 60 b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
nuclear@12 61 this License applicable to that copy.
nuclear@12 62
nuclear@12 63 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
nuclear@12 64
nuclear@12 65 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
nuclear@12 66 a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
nuclear@12 67 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
nuclear@12 68 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
nuclear@12 69 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
nuclear@12 70 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
nuclear@12 71
nuclear@12 72 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
nuclear@12 73 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
nuclear@12 74 covered by this License.
nuclear@12 75
nuclear@12 76 b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
nuclear@12 77 document.
nuclear@12 78
nuclear@12 79 4. Combined Works.
nuclear@12 80
nuclear@12 81 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
nuclear@12 82 taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
nuclear@12 83 portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
nuclear@12 84 engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
nuclear@12 85 the following:
nuclear@12 86
nuclear@12 87 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
nuclear@12 88 the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
nuclear@12 89 covered by this License.
nuclear@12 90
nuclear@12 91 b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
nuclear@12 92 document.
nuclear@12 93
nuclear@12 94 c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
nuclear@12 95 execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
nuclear@12 96 these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
nuclear@12 97 copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
nuclear@12 98
nuclear@12 99 d) Do one of the following:
nuclear@12 100
nuclear@12 101 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
nuclear@12 102 License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
nuclear@12 103 suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
nuclear@12 104 recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
nuclear@12 105 the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
nuclear@12 106 manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
nuclear@12 107 Corresponding Source.
nuclear@12 108
nuclear@12 109 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
nuclear@12 110 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
nuclear@12 111 a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
nuclear@12 112 system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
nuclear@12 113 of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
nuclear@12 114 Version.
nuclear@12 115
nuclear@12 116 e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
nuclear@12 117 be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
nuclear@12 118 GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
nuclear@12 119 necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
nuclear@12 120 Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
nuclear@12 121 Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
nuclear@12 122 you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
nuclear@12 123 the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
nuclear@12 124 Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
nuclear@12 125 Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
nuclear@12 126 for conveying Corresponding Source.)
nuclear@12 127
nuclear@12 128 5. Combined Libraries.
nuclear@12 129
nuclear@12 130 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
nuclear@12 131 Library side by side in a single library together with other library
nuclear@12 132 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
nuclear@12 133 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
nuclear@12 134 choice, if you do both of the following:
nuclear@12 135
nuclear@12 136 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
nuclear@12 137 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
nuclear@12 138 conveyed under the terms of this License.
nuclear@12 139
nuclear@12 140 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
nuclear@12 141 is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
nuclear@12 142 accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
nuclear@12 143
nuclear@12 144 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
nuclear@12 145
nuclear@12 146 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
nuclear@12 147 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
nuclear@12 148 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
nuclear@12 149 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
nuclear@12 150
nuclear@12 151 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
nuclear@12 152 Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
nuclear@12 153 of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
nuclear@12 154 applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
nuclear@12 155 conditions either of that published version or of any later version
nuclear@12 156 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
nuclear@12 157 received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
nuclear@12 158 General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
nuclear@12 159 General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
nuclear@12 160
nuclear@12 161 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
nuclear@12 162 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
nuclear@12 163 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
nuclear@12 164 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
nuclear@12 165 Library.
