In particular there are no documents on creating pull requests to submit to Linus. Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML: Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document. Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn it into the start of the documentation for how to do it. (quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017) Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer' (suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and 'creating a pull request'. Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman in discussion on LKML.

Typically you will base this branch +off of a branch in the developers tree whom you intend to send the pull +request to. + +In order to create the pull request you must first tag the branch that you +have just created. It is recommended that you choose a meaningful tag name, +in a way that you and others can understand, even after some time. A good +practice is to include in the name an indicator of the sybsystem of origin +and the target kernel version. + +Greg offers the following. A pull request with miscellaneous stuff for +drivers/char, to be applied at the Kernel version 4.15-rc1 could be named +as ``char-misc-4.15-rc1``. If such tag would be produced from a branch +named ``char-misc-next``, you would be using the following command:: + + git tag -s char-misc-4.15-rc1 char-misc-next + +that will create a signed tag called ``char-misc-4.15-rc1`` based on the +last commit in the ``char-misc-next`` branch, and sign it with your gpg key +(see :ref:`Documentation/maintainer/configure_git.rst `). + +Linus will only accept pull requests based on a signed tag. Other +maintainers may differ. + +When you run the above command ``git`` will drop you into an editor and ask +you to describe the tag. In this case, you are describing a pull request, +so outline what is contained here, why it should be merged, and what, if +any, testing has been done. All of this information will end up in the tag +itself, and then in the merge commit that the maintainer makes if/when they +merge the pull request. So write it up well, as it will be in the kernel +tree for forever. + +As said by Linus:: + + Anyway, at least to me, the important part is the *message*. I want + to understand what I'm pulling, and why I should pull it. I also + want to use that message as the message for the merge, so it should + not just make sense to me, but make sense as a historical record + too. + + Note that if there is something odd about the pull request, that + should very much be in the explanation. If you're touching files + that you don't maintain, explain _why_. I will see it in the + diffstat anyway, and if you didn't mention it, I'll just be extra + suspicious. And when you send me new stuff after the merge window + (or even bug-fixes, but ones that look scary), explain not just + what they do and why they do it, but explain the _timing_. What + happened that this didn't go through the merge window.. + + I will take both what you write in the email pull request _and_ in + the signed tag, so depending on your workflow, you can either + describe your work in the signed tag (which will also automatically + make it into the pull request email), or you can make the signed + tag just a placeholder with nothing interesting in it, and describe + the work later when you actually send me the pull request. + + And yes, I will edit the message. Partly because I tend to do just + trivial formatting (the whole indentation and quoting etc), but + partly because part of the message may make sense for me at pull + time (describing the conflicts and your personal issues for sending + it right now), but may not make sense in the context of a merge + commit message, so I will try to make it all make sense. I will + also fix any speeling mistaeks and bad grammar I notice, + particularly for non-native speakers (but also for native ones + ;^). But I may miss some, or even add some. + + Linus + +Greg gives, as an example pull request:: + + Char/Misc patches for 4.15-rc1 + + Here is the big char/misc patch set for the 4.15-rc1 merge window. + Contained in here is the normal set of new functions added to all + of these crazy drivers, as well as the following brand new + subsystems: + - time_travel_controller: Finally a set of drivers for the + latest time travel bus architecture that provides i/o to + the CPU before it asked for it, allowing uninterrupted + processing + - relativity_shifters: due to the affect that the + time_travel_controllers have on the overall system, there + was a need for a new set of relativity shifter drivers to + accommodate the newly formed black holes that would + threaten to suck CPUs into them. This subsystem handles + this in a way to successfully neutralize the problems. + There is a Kconfig option to force these to be enabled + when needed, so problems should not occur. + + All of these patches have been successfully tested in the latest + linux-next releases, and the original problems that it found have + all been resolved (apologies to anyone living near Canberra for the + lack of the Kconfig options in the earlier versions of the + linux-next tree creations.) + + Signed-off-by: Your-name-here + + +The tag message format is just like a git commit id.

The +following command(s) will generate a pull request:: + + git request-pull master git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git/ char-misc-4.15-rc1 + +Quoting Greg:: + + This is asking git to compare the difference from the + 'char-misc-4.15-rc1' tag location, to the head of the 'master' + branch (which in my case points to the last location in Linus's + tree that I diverged from, usually a -rc release) and to use the + git:// protocol to pull from. If you wish to use https://, that + can be used here instead as well (but note that some people behind + firewalls will have problems with https git pulls). + + If the char-misc-4.15-rc1 tag is not present in the repo that I am + asking to be pulled from, git will complain saying it is not there, + a handy way to remember to actually push it to a public location. + + The output of 'git request-pull' will contain the location of the + git tree and specific tag to pull from, and the full text + description of that tag (which is why you need to provide good + information in that tag). It will also create a diffstat of the + pull request, and a shortlog of the individual commits that the + pull request will provide. + +Linus responded that he tends to prefer the ``git://`` protocol. Other +maintainers may have different preferences. Also, note that if you are +creating pull requests without a signed tag then ``https://`` may be a +better choice.

(Description of function)? - * (section header: (section description)? )* -(*)?*/ - -All "description" text can span multiple lines, although the -function_name & its short description are traditionally on a single line. -Description text may also contain blank lines (i.e., lines that contain -only a "*"). - -"section header:" names must be unique per function (or struct, -union, typedef, enum). - -Use the section header "Return" for sections describing the return value -of a function. - -Avoid putting a spurious blank line after the function name, or else the -description will be repeated! - -All descriptive text is further processed, scanning for the following special -patterns, which are highlighted appropriately. - -'funcname()' - function -'$ENVVAR' - environment variable -'&struct_name' - name of a structure (up to two words including 'struct') -'@parameter' - name of a parameter -'%CONST' - name of a constant. - -NOTE 1: The multi-line descriptive text you provide does *not* recognize -line breaks, so if you try to format some text nicely, as in: - - Return: - 0 - cool - 1 - invalid arg - 2 - out of memory - -this will all run together and produce: - - Return: 0 - cool 1 - invalid arg 2 - out of memory - -NOTE 2: If the descriptive text you provide has lines that begin with -some phrase followed by a colon, each of those phrases will be taken as -a new section heading, which means you should similarly try to avoid text -like: - - Return: - 0: cool - 1: invalid arg - 2: out of memory - -every line of which would start a new section. Again, probably not -what you were after. - -Take a look around the source tree for examples. - - -kernel-doc for structs, unions, enums, and typedefs ---------------------------------------------------- - -Beside functions you can also write documentation for structs, unions, -enums and typedefs. Instead of the function name you must write the name -of the declaration; the struct/union/enum/typedef must always precede -the name. Nesting of declarations is not supported. -Use the argument mechanism to document members or constants. - -Inside a struct description, you can use the "private:" and "public:" -comment tags. Structure fields that are inside a "private:" area -are not listed in the generated output documentation. The "private:" -and "public:" tags must begin immediately following a "/*" comment -marker. They may optionally include comments between the ":" and the -ending "*/" marker. - -Example: - -/** - * struct my_struct - short description - * @a: first member - * @b: second member - * - * Longer description - */ -struct my_struct { - int a; - int b; -/* private: internal use only */ - int c; -}; - - -Including documentation blocks in source files ----------------------------------------------- - -To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can -include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments -instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions, -enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a -theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example. - -This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.: - -/** - * DOC: Theory of Operation - * - * The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you - * want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works. - * - * foo bar splat - * - * The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage - * hardware, software, or its subject(s). - */ - -DOC: sections are used in ReST files. - -Tim. -*/ diff --git a/scripts/kernel-doc b/scripts/kernel-doc index 675c525ec5b9..bed74e9bc141 100755 --- a/scripts/kernel-doc +++ b/scripts/kernel-doc @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ Read C language source or header FILEs, extract embedded documentation comments, and print formatted documentation to standard output.

From b05142675310d2ac80276569e151742f880e3ec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 10:30:09 -0200 Subject: [PATCH 35/65] scripts: kernel-doc: get rid of unused output formats Since there isn't any docbook code anymore upstream, we can get rid of several output formats: - docbook/xml, html, html5 and list formats were used by the old build system; - As ReST is text, there's not much sense on outputting on a different text format.

However, currently, the logic is utterly broken, as it uses the var $type with a wrong meaning. With the current code, it will never print anything. I suspect that originally it was using the second argument of output_declaration(). I opted to not rely on a globally defined $declaration_name, but, instead, to pass it explicitly as a parameter. While here, I removed a unaligned check for !$anon_struct_union. This is not needed, as, if $anon_struct_union is not zero, $parameterdescs{$param} will be defined.

This documentation file is +not meant to replace the COPYING file, but provides a description of how +each source file should be annotated to make the licensing it is governed +under clear and unambiguous. + +The license in the COPYING file applies to the kernel source as a whole, +though individual source files can have a different license which is +required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0:: + + GPL-1.0+ : GNU General Public License v1.0 or later + GPL-2.0+ : GNU General Public License v2.0 or later + LGPL-2.0 : GNU Library General Public License v2 only + LGPL-2.0+ : GNU Library General Public License v2 or later + LGPL-2.1 : GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only + LGPL-2.1+ : GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later + +Aside from that, individual files can be provided under a dual license, +e.g. one of the compatible GPL variants and alternatively under a +permissive license like BSD, MIT etc. + +The User-space API (UAPI) header files, which describe the interface of +user-space programs to the kernel are a special case. According to the +note in the kernel COPYING file, the syscall interface is a clear boundary, +which does not extend the GPL requirements to any software which uses it to +communicate with the kernel. Because the UAPI headers must be includable +into any source files which create an executable running on the Linux +kernel, the exception must be documented by a special license expression. + +The common way of expressing the license of a source file is to add the +matching boilerplate text into the top comment of the file. Due to +formatting, typos etc. these "boilerplates" are hard to validate for +tools which are used in the context of license compliance. + +An alternative to boilerplate text is the use of Software Package Data +Exchange (SPDX) license identifiers in each source file. SPDX license +identifiers are machine parsable and precise shorthands for the license +under which the content of the file is contributed. SPDX license +identifiers are managed by the SPDX Workgroup at the Linux Foundation and +have been agreed on by partners throughout the industry, tool vendors, and +legal teams. For further information see https://spdx.org/ + +The Linux kernel requires the precise SPDX identifier in all source files. +The valid identifiers used in the kernel are explained in the section +`License identifiers`_ and have been retrieved from the official SPDX +license list at https://spdx.org/licenses/ along with the license texts. + +License identifier syntax +------------------------- + +1. Placement: + + The SPDX license identifier in kernel files shall be added at the first + possible line in a file which can contain a comment. For the majority + or files this is the first line, except for scripts which require the + '#!PATH_TO_INTERPRETER' in the first line. For those scripts the SPDX + identifier goes into the second line. + +| + +2. Style: + + The SPDX license identifier is added in form of a comment. The comment + style depends on the file type:: + + C source: // SPDX-License-Identifier: + C header: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: */ + ASM: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: */ + scripts: # SPDX-License-Identifier: + .rst: .. SPDX-License-Identifier: + .dts{i}: // SPDX-License-Identifier: + + If a specific tool cannot handle the standard comment style, then the + appropriate comment mechanism which the tool accepts shall be used. This + is the reason for having the "/\* \*/" style comment in C header + files. There was build breakage observed with generated .lds files where + 'ld' failed to parse the C++ comment. This has been fixed by now, but + there are still older assembler tools which cannot handle C++ style + comments. + +| + +3. Syntax: + + A is either an SPDX short form license + identifier found on the SPDX License List, or the combination of two + SPDX short form license identifiers separated by "WITH" when a license + exception applies. When multiple licenses apply, an expression consists + of keywords "AND", "OR" separating sub-expressions and surrounded by + "(", ")" . + + License identifiers for licenses like [L]GPL with the 'or later' option + are constructed by using a "+" for indicating the 'or later' option.:: + + // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + // SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+ + + WITH should be used when there is a modifier to a license needed. + For example, the linux kernel UAPI files use the expression:: + + // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note + // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note + + Other examples using WITH exceptions found in the kernel are:: + + // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH mif-exception + // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH GCC-exception-2.0 + + Exceptions can only be used with particular License identifiers.

From 255247c2770ada6edace04173b35307869b47d99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 16:27:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 51/65] LICENSES: Add the GPL 2.0 license Add the full text of the GPL 2.0 license to the LICENSES directory. It was copied directly from the COPYING file in the kernel source tree as it differs from the public available version of the license in various places including the FSF. Philippe did some research on the GPL2.0 history: There is NO trustworthy version of an official GPL 2.0 text: the FSF official texts are all fubar (if only in small and subtle ways). The FSF texts should be authoritative, but then which one? They published more GPL 2.0 versions than most. So we would be hard pressed to blame SPDX or the OSI for having their own minor variant. Then in digging further, I found the ONE true original GPL with a file time stamp on June 2 1991, 01:50 (AM?, PM? unknown time zone?) ! in an old GCC archive. For the posterity and everyone's enjoyment I have built a git history of GPL 2.0 Mark1 to Mark6 See https://github.com/pombredanne/gpl-history/commits/master/COPYING I also added a shorter history of the Linux COPYING text. The first version in Linus's git tree is based on the very fine and well tuned GPL 2 Mark4, the first fully Y2K compliant version of the GPL 2, as you can see from the diffs with the former Mark3: that was dangerously stuck in the last century. The current version in is based on a rare GPL 2.0 Mark5.1 aka "Franklin St", that I do not have in my history yet and spells "Franklin St." rather than "Franklin Street." Therefore there is likely another GPL 2.0 version between Mark4 and Mark5 that I have yet to find and may not have been caught by the archive.org spiders. Here help and patches welcomed: this is likely an important missing link.

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 + + 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 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. + +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.

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.

It also counts as +the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the +version number 2.1.] + +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 Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially +designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software +Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but +we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the +ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any +particular case, based on the explanations below. + +When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, 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 and use pieces of it in new free +programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. + +To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these +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 other code 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. + +We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the +library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal +permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. + +To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no +warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone +else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not +the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be +affected by problems that might be introduced by others. + +Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any +free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively +restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license +from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained +for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of +use specified in this license. + +Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU +General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public +License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different +from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain +libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free +programs. + +When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a +shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined +work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public +License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits +its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax +criteria for linking other code with the library. + +We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does +Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public +License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an +advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the +reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many +libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain +special circumstances. + +For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage +the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto +standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the +library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as +widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by +limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser +General Public License. + +In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs +enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free +software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free +programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as +well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. + +Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' +freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the +Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a +modified version of the Library. + +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, whereas the latter must be combined with the +library in order to run. + +TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + +0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program + which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other + authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this + Lesser 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 combine 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) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the + Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy + of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather + than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will + operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user + installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible + with the version that the work was made with. + + c) 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. + + d) 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. + + e) 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 materials to be + 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 with 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 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 + 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. + +END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + +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 an 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 Lesser General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 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.

By contrast, our 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. The +General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's +software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. +You can use it for your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make +sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free +software, 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 a 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 tell them 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. + + 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 Agreement 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 work containing the +Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each +licensee is addressed as "you". + + 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 +General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any +other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License +along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of +transferring a copy. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of +it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph +1 above, provided that you also do the following: + + a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that + you changed the files and the date of any change; and + + b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that + in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either + with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all + third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except + that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all + third parties, at your option). + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when + run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use + in the simplest and most usual 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 General + Public License. + + d) 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. + +Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its +derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring +the other work under the scope of these terms. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of +it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of +Paragraphs 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 + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, + + b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge + for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the + corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, + + c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the + corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form alone.) + +Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making +modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means +all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special +exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard +libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable +file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that +accompany that operating system. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the +Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. +Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer +the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use +the Program under this License. However, parties who have received +copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public +License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties +remain in full compliance. + + 5. By copying, distributing or modifying 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. + + 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. + + 7. 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 the 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 +the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software +Foundation. + + 8. 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 + + 9. 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. + + 10. 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 humanity, 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. + + + Copyright (C) 19yy + + 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 1, 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) 19xx 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 a sample; alter the names: + + Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the + program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes + at assemblers) written by James Hacker. + + , 1 April 1989 + Ty Coon, President of Vice + +That's all there is to it!

If Contributor obtains such knowledge after + the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, + Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies + Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps + (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) + reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered + Code that new knowledge has been obtained. + + (b) Contributor APIs. + If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming + interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which + are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must + also include this information in the LEGAL file. + + (c) Representations. + Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to + Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's + Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or + Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by + this License. + + 3.5. Required Notices. + You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source + Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source + Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a + location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely + to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) + You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in + Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation + for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership + rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to + charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability + obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You + may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial + Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than + any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is + offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial + Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the + Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, + support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. + + 3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. + You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the + requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, + and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of + the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, + including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the + obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included + in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or + collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the + Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered + Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may + contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in + compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the + Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's + rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this + License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different + license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ + from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial + Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the + Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by + the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such + terms You offer. + + 3.7. Larger Works. + You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code + not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger + Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the + requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code. + +4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation. + + If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this + License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to + statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with + the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) + describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description + must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must + be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the + extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be + sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to + understand it. + +5. Application of this License. + + This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has + attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code. + +6. Versions of the License. + + 6.1. New Versions. + Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised + and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version + will be given a distinguishing version number. + + 6.2. Effect of New Versions. + Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the + License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that + version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms + of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one + other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to + Covered Code created under this License. + + 6.3. Derivative Works. + If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may + only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code + governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that + the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", + "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your + license (except to note that your license differs from this License) + and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license + contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and + Netscape Public License.

SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, + YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE + COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER + OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF + ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER. + +8. TERMINATION. + + 8.1.

All + sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall + survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their + nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License + shall survive. + + 8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement + claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer + or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom + You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that: + + (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly + infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such + Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License + shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively, + unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i) + agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable + royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such + Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to + the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days + of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not + mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim + is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under + Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of + the 60 day notice period specified above. + + (b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's + Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then + any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) + and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, + sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that + Participant. + + 8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant + alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or + indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as + by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent + infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses + granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken + into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or + license. + + 8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, + all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) + which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder + prior to termination shall survive termination. + +9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. + + UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT + (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL + DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, + OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR + ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY + CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, + WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER + COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN + INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF + LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY + RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW + PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE + EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO + THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. + +10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. + + The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in + 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer + software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such + terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 + C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), + all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those + rights set forth herein. + +11. MISCELLANEOUS. + + This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject + matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be + unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent + necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by + California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if + any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. + With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, + or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United + States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be + subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern + District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, + California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including + without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and + expenses.
