10 INTRODUCTION
11
12 The Common UNIX Printing System(tm), ("CUPS(tm)"), is provided
13 under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") and GNU Library
14 General Public License ("LGPL"), Version 2, with exceptions for
15 Apple operating systems and the OpenSSL toolkit. A copy of the
16 exceptions and licenses follow this introduction.
17
18 The GNU LGPL applies to the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries
19 located in the "cups" and "filter" subdirectories of the CUPS
20 source distribution and in the "cups" include directory and
21 library files in the binary distributions. The GNU GPL applies to
22 the remainder of the CUPS distribution, including the "pdftops"
23 filter which is based upon Xpdf.
24
25 For those not familiar with the GNU GPL, the license basically
26 allows you to:
27
28 - Use the CUPS software at no charge.
29 - Distribute verbatim copies of the software in source or
30 binary form.
31 - Sell verbatim copies of the software for a media fee, or
32 sell support for the software.
33
34 What this license *does not* allow you to do is make changes or
35 add features to CUPS and then sell a binary distribution without
36 source code. You must provide source for any changes or additions
37 to the software, and all code must be provided under the GPL or
38 LGPL as appropriate. The only exceptions to this are the portions
39 of the CUPS software covered by the Apple operating system
40 license exceptions outlined later in this license agreement.
41
42 The GNU LGPL relaxes the "link-to" restriction, allowing you to
43 develop applications that use the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries
44 under other licenses and/or conditions as appropriate for your
45 application, driver, or filter.
46
47
48 LICENSE EXCEPTIONS
49
50 In addition, as the copyright holder of CUPS, Apple Inc. grants
51 the following special exceptions:
52
53 1. Apple Operating System Development License Exception;
54
55 a. Software that is developed by any person or entity
56 for an Apple Operating System ("Apple OS-Developed
57 Software"), including but not limited to Apple and
58 third party printer drivers, filters, and backends
59 for an Apple Operating System, that is linked to the
60 CUPS imaging library or based on any sample filters
61 or backends provided with CUPS shall not be
62 considered to be a derivative work or collective work
63 based on the CUPS program and is exempt from the
64 mandatory source code release clauses of the GNU GPL.
65 You may therefore distribute linked combinations of
66 the CUPS imaging library with Apple OS-Developed
67 Software without releasing the source code of the
68 Apple OS-Developed Software. You may also use sample
69 filters and backends provided with CUPS to develop
70 Apple OS-Developed Software without releasing the
71 source code of the Apple OS-Developed Software.
72
73 b. An Apple Operating System means any operating system
74 software developed and/or marketed by Apple Computer,
75 Inc., including but not limited to all existing
76 releases and versions of Apple's Darwin, Mac OS X,
77 and Mac OS X Server products and all follow-on
78 releases and future versions thereof.
79
80 c. This exception is only available for Apple
81 OS-Developed Software and does not apply to software
82 that is distributed for use on other operating
83 systems.
84
85 d. All CUPS software that falls under this license
86 exception have the following text at the top of each
87 source file:
88
89 This file is subject to the Apple OS-Developed
90 Software exception.
91
92 2. OpenSSL Toolkit License Exception;
93
94 a. Apple Inc. explicitly allows the compilation and
95 distribution of the CUPS software with the OpenSSL
96 Toolkit.
97
98 No developer is required to provide these exceptions in a
99 derived work.
100
101
102 KERBEROS SUPPORT CODE
103
104 The Kerberos support code ("KSC") is copyright 2006 by Jelmer
105 Vernooij and is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied
106 warranty. In no event will the author or Apple Inc. be held
107 liable for any damages arising from the use of the KSC.
108
109 Sources files containing KSC have the following text at the top
110 of each source file:
111
112 This file contains Kerberos support code, copyright 2006 by
113 Jelmer Vernooij.
114
115 The KSC copyright and license apply only to Kerberos-related
116 feature code in CUPS. Such code is typically conditionally
117 compiled based on the present of the HAVE_GSSAPI preprocessor
118 definition.
119
120 Permission is granted to anyone to use the KSC for any purpose,
121 including commercial applications, and to alter it and
122 redistribute it freely, subject to the following restrictions:
123
124 1. The origin of the KSC must not be misrepresented; you
125 must not claim that you wrote the original software. If
126 you use the KSC in a product, an acknowledgment in the
127 product documentation would be appreciated but is not
128 required.
129
130 2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such,
131 and must not be misrepresented as being the original
132 software.
133
134 3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source
135 distribution.
136
137
138 TRADEMARKS
139
140 CUPS and the CUPS logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. You may use the name
141 and logo in any direct port or binary distribution of CUPS. Please contact
142 Apple Inc. for written permission to use them in derivative products. Our
143 intention is to protect the value of these trademarks and ensure that any
144 derivative product meets the same high-quality standards as the original.

146 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
147 Version 2, June 1991
148
149 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
150 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
151 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
152 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
153
154 Preamble
155
156 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
157 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
158 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
159 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
160 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
161 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
162 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
163 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
164 your programs, too.
165
166 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
167 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
168 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
169 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
170 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
171 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
172
173 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
174 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
175 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
176 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
177
178 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
179 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
180 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
181 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
182 rights.
183
184 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
185 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
186 distribute and/or modify the software.
187
188 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
189 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
190 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
191 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
192 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
193 authors' reputations.
194
195 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
196 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
197 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
198 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
199 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
200
201 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
202 modification follow.
203 \f
204 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
205 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
206
207 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
208 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
209 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
210 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
211 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
212 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
213 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
214 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
215 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
216
217 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
218 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
219 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
220 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
221 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
222 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
223
224 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
225 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
226 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
227 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
228 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
229 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
230 along with the Program.
231
232 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
233 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
234
235 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
236 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
237 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
238 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
239
240 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
241 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
242
243 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
244 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
245 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
246 parties under the terms of this License.
247
248 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
249 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
250 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
251 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
252 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
253 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
254 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
255 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
256 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
257 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
258 \f
259 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
260 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
261 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
262 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
263 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
264 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
265 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
266 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
267 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
268
269 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
270 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
271 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
272 collective works based on the Program.
273
274 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
275 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
276 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
277 the scope of this License.
278
279 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
280 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
281 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
282
283 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
284 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
285 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
286
287 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
288 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
289 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
290 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
291 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
292 customarily used for software interchange; or,
293
294 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
295 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
296 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
297 received the program in object code or executable form with such
298 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
299
300 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
301 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
302 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
303 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
304 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
305 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
306 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
307 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
308 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
309 itself accompanies the executable.
310
311 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
312 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
313 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
314 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
315 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
316 \f
317 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
318 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
319 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
320 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
321 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
322 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
323 parties remain in full compliance.
324
325 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
326 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
327 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
328 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
329 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
330 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
331 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
332 the Program or works based on it.
333
334 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
335 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
336 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
337 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
338 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
339 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
340 this License.
341
342 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
343 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
344 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
345 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
346 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
347 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
348 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
349 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
350 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
351 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
352 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
353 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
354
355 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
356 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
357 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
358 circumstances.
359
360 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
361 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
362 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
363 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
364 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
365 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
366 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
367 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
368 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
369 impose that choice.
370
371 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
372 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
373 \f
374 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
375 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
376 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
377 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
378 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
379 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
380 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
381
382 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
383 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
384 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
385 address new problems or concerns.
386
387 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
388 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
389 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
390 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
391 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
392 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
393 Foundation.
394
395 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
396 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
397 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
398 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
399 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
400 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
401 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
402
403 NO WARRANTY
404
405 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
406 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
407 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
408 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
409 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
410 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
411 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
412 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
413 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
414
415 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
416 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
417 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
418 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
419 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
420 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
421 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
422 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
423 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
424
425 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
426 \f
427 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
428
429 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
430 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
431 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
432
433 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
434 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
435 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
436 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
437
438 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
439 Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
440
441 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
442 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
443 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
444 (at your option) any later version.
445
446 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
447 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
448 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
449 GNU General Public License for more details.
450
451 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
452 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
453 Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
454
455 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
456
457 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
458 when it starts in an interactive mode:
459
460 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
461 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
462 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
463 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
464
465 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
466 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
467 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
468 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
469
470 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
471 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
472 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
473
474 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
475 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

479
480 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
481 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
482 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
483 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
484 Public License instead of this License.

493 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

497
498 Preamble
499
500 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
501 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
502 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
503 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
504
505 This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some
506 specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any
507 other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for
508 your libraries, too.
509
510 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
511 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
512 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
513 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
514 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
515 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
516
517 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
518 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
519 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if
520 you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.
521
522 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
523 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
524 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
525 code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide
526 complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them
527 with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling
528 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
529
530 Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright
531 the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
532 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
533
534 Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain
535 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
536 library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we
537 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original
538 version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on
539 the original authors' reputations.
540 \f
541 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
542 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free
543 software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect
544 transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this,
545 we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
546 free use or not licensed at all.
547
548 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary
549 GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This
550 license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain
551 designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary
552 one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is
553 the same as in the ordinary license.
554
555 The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that
556 they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a
557 program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without
558 changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is
559 analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in
560 a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a
561 derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License
562 treats it as such.
563
564 Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General
565 Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software
566 sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We
567 concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.
568
569 However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the
570 users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the
571 libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to
572 permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while
573 preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free
574 libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve
575 this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards
576 changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this
577 will lead to faster development of free libraries.
578
579 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
580 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
581 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
582 former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only
583 works together with the library.
584
585 Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary
586 General Public License rather than by this special one.
587 \f
588 GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
589 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
590
591 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which
592 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
593 party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library
594 General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is
595 addressed as "you".
596
597 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
598 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
599 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
600
601 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
602 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
603 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
604 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
605 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
606 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
607 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
608
609 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
610 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
611 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
612 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
613 and installation of the library.
614
615 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
616 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
617 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
618 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
619 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
620 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
621 and what the program that uses the Library does.
622
623 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
624 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
625 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
626 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
627 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
628 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
629 Library.
630
631 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
632 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
633 fee.
634 \f
635 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
636 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
637 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
638 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
639
640 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
641
642 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
643 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
644
645 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
646 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
647
648 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
649 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
650 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
651 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
652 in the event an application does not supply such function or
653 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
654 its purpose remains meaningful.
655
656 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
657 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
658 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
659 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
660 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
661 root function must still compute square roots.)
662
663 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
664 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
665 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
666 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
667 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
668 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
669 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
670 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
671 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
672 it.
673
674 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
675 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
676 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
677 collective works based on the Library.
678
679 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
680 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
681 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
682 the scope of this License.
683
684 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
685 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
686 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
687 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
688 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
689 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
690 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
691 these notices.
692 \f
693 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
694 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
695 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
696
697 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
698 the Library into a program that is not a library.
699
700 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
701 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
702 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
703 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
704 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
705 medium customarily used for software interchange.
706
707 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
708 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
709 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
710 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
711 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
712
713 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
714 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
715 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
716 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
717 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
718
719 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
720 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
721 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
722 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
723 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
724
725 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
726 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
727 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
728 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
729 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
730 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
731
732 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
733 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
734 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
735 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
736 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
737 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
738
739 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
740 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
741 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
742 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
743 \f
744 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or
745 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
746 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
747 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
748 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
749 engineering for debugging such modifications.
750
751 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
752 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
753 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
754 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
755 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
756 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
757 of these things:
758
759 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
760 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
761 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
762 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
763 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
764 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
765 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
766 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
767 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
768 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
769 to use the modified definitions.)
770
771 b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
772 least three years, to give the same user the materials
773 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
774 than the cost of performing this distribution.
775
776 c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
777 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
778 specified materials from the same place.
779
780 d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
781 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
782
783 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
784 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
785 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
786 the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally
787 distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
788 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
789 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
790 the executable.
791
792 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
793 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
794 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
795 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
796 distribute.
797 \f
798 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
799 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
800 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
801 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
802 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
803 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
804
805 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
806 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
807 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
808 Sections above.
809
810 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
811 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
812 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
813
814 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
815 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
816 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
817 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
818 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
819 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
820 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
821
822 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
823 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
824 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
825 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
826 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
827 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
828 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
829 the Library or works based on it.
830
831 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
832 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
833 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
834 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
835 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
836 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
837 this License.
838 \f
839 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
840 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
841 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
842 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
843 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
844 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
845 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
846 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
847 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
848 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
849 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
850 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
851
852 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
853 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
854 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
855
856 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
857 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
858 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
859 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
860 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
861 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
862 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
863 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
864 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
865 impose that choice.
866
867 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
868 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
869
870 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
871 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
872 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
873 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
874 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
875 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
876 written in the body of this License.
877
878 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
879 versions of the Library General Public License from time to time.
880 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
881 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
882
883 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
884 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
885 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
886 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
887 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
888 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
889 the Free Software Foundation.
890 \f
891 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
892 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
893 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
894 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
895 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
896 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
897 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
898 and reuse of software generally.
899
900 NO WARRANTY
901
902 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
903 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
904 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
905 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
906 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
907 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
908 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
909 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
910 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
911
912 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
913 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
914 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
915 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
916 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
917 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
918 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
919 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
920 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
921 DAMAGES.
922
923 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
924 \f
925 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
926
927 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
928 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
929 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
930 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
931 ordinary General Public License).
932
933 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
934 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
935 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
936 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
937
938 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
939 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
940
941 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
942 modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public
943 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
944 version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
945
946 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
947 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
948 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
949 Library General Public License for more details.
950
951 You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public
952 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free
953 Software Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
954
955 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
956
957 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
958 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
959 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
960
