| INTRODUCTION | |
| CUPS(tm) is provided under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") | |
| and GNU Library General Public License ("LGPL"), Version 2, with an | |
| exception for Apple operating systems. A copy of the exception and | |
| licenses follow this introduction. | |
| The GNU LGPL applies to the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries | |
| located in the "cups" and "filter" subdirectories of the CUPS | |
| source distribution and the files in the "test" subdirectory. The | |
| GNU GPL applies to the remainder of the CUPS distribution. | |
| For those not familiar with the GNU GPL, the license basically | |
| allows you to: | |
| - Use the CUPS software at no charge. | |
| - Distribute verbatim copies of the software in source or | |
| binary form. | |
| - Sell verbatim copies of the software for a media fee, or | |
| sell support for the software. | |
| What this license *does not* allow you to do is make changes or | |
| add features to CUPS and then sell a binary distribution without | |
| source code. You must provide source for any changes or additions | |
| to the software, and all code must be provided under the GPL or | |
| LGPL as appropriate. The only exceptions to this are the portions | |
| of the CUPS software covered by the Apple operating system | |
| license exceptions outlined later in this license agreement. | |
| The GNU LGPL relaxes the "link-to" restriction, allowing you to | |
| develop applications that use the CUPS and CUPS Imaging libraries | |
| under other licenses and/or conditions as appropriate for your | |
| application, driver, or filter. | |
| LICENSE EXCEPTIONS | |
| In addition, as the copyright holder of CUPS, Apple Inc. grants | |
| the following special exception: | |
| 1. Apple Operating System Development License Exception; | |
| a. Software that is developed by any person or entity | |
| for an Apple Operating System ("Apple OS-Developed | |
| Software"), including but not limited to Apple and | |
| third party printer drivers, filters, and backends | |
| for an Apple Operating System, that is linked to the | |
| CUPS imaging library or based on any sample filters | |
| or backends provided with CUPS shall not be | |
| considered to be a derivative work or collective work | |
| based on the CUPS program and is exempt from the | |
| mandatory source code release clauses of the GNU GPL. | |
| You may therefore distribute linked combinations of | |
| the CUPS imaging library with Apple OS-Developed | |
| Software without releasing the source code of the | |
| Apple OS-Developed Software. You may also use sample | |
| filters and backends provided with CUPS to develop | |
| Apple OS-Developed Software without releasing the | |
| source code of the Apple OS-Developed Software. | |
| b. An Apple Operating System means any operating system | |
| software developed and/or marketed by Apple Inc., | |
| including but not limited to all existing releases and | |
| versions of Apple's Darwin, iOS, macOS, macOS Server, and | |
| tvOS products and all follow-on releases and future | |
| versions thereof. | |
| c. This exception is only available for Apple | |
| OS-Developed Software and does not apply to software | |
| that is distributed for use on other operating | |
| systems. | |
| d. All CUPS software that falls under this license | |
| exception have the following text at the top of each | |
| source file: | |
| This file is subject to the Apple OS-Developed | |
| Software exception. | |
| No developer is required to provide this exception in a derived | |
| work. | |
| KERBEROS SUPPORT CODE | |
| The Kerberos support code ("KSC") is copyright 2006 by Jelmer | |
| Vernooij and is provided 'as-is', without any express or implied | |
| warranty. In no event will the author or Apple Inc. be held | |
| liable for any damages arising from the use of the KSC. | |
| Sources files containing KSC have the following text at the top | |
| of each source file: | |
| This file contains Kerberos support code, copyright 2006 by | |
| Jelmer Vernooij. | |
| The KSC copyright and license apply only to Kerberos-related | |
| feature code in CUPS. Such code is typically conditionally | |
| compiled based on the present of the HAVE_GSSAPI preprocessor | |
| definition. | |
| Permission is granted to anyone to use the KSC for any purpose, | |
| including commercial applications, and to alter it and | |
| redistribute it freely, subject to the following restrictions: | |
| 1. The origin of the KSC must not be misrepresented; you | |
| must not claim that you wrote the original software. If | |
| you use the KSC in a product, an acknowledgment in the | |
| product documentation would be appreciated but is not | |
| required. | |
| 2. Altered source versions must be plainly marked as such, | |
| and must not be misrepresented as being the original | |
| software. | |
| 3. This notice may not be removed or altered from any source | |
| distribution. | |
| TRADEMARKS | |
| CUPS and the CUPS logo (the "CUPS Marks") are trademarks of Apple | |
| Inc. Apple grants you a non-exclusive and non-transferable right | |
| to use the CUPS Marks in any direct port or binary distribution | |
| incorporating CUPS software and in any promotional material | |
| therefor. You agree that your products will meet the highest | |
| levels of quality and integrity for similar goods, not be unlawful, | |
| and be developed, manufactured, and distributed in compliance with | |
| this license. You will not interfere with Apple's rights in the | |
| CUPS Marks, and all use of the CUPS Marks shall inure to the | |
| benefit of Apple. This license does not apply to use of the CUPS | |
| Marks in a derivative products, which requires prior written | |
| permission from Apple Inc. | |
| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| Version 2, June 1991 | |
| Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
| 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| Preamble | |
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
| freedom to share and change it. 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 | |
| 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 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 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 program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
| Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> | |
| 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 2 of the License, 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) 19yy 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 is a sample; alter the names: | |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program | |
| `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. | |

| This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into | |
| proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may | |
| consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the | |
| library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General | |
| Public License instead of this License. | |
| GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| Version 2, June 1991 | |
| Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
| 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| [This is the first released version of the library GPL. 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. | |
| GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 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. 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 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. 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 | |
| Appendix: 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 a brief 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 Library General Public | |
| License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either | |
| version 2 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. See the GNU | |
| Library General Public License for more details. | |
| You should have received a copy of the GNU Library General Public | |
| License along with this library; 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. | |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | |
| school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if | |
| necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | |
| library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. | |
