mp-wp_genesis 9 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
mp-wp_genesis 10 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
mp-wp_genesis 11 the version number 2.1.]
mp-wp_genesis 12
mp-wp_genesis 13 Preamble
mp-wp_genesis 14
mp-wp_genesis 15 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
mp-wp_genesis 16 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
mp-wp_genesis 17 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
mp-wp_genesis 18 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
mp-wp_genesis 19
mp-wp_genesis 20 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
mp-wp_genesis 21 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
mp-wp_genesis 22 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
mp-wp_genesis 23 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
mp-wp_genesis 24 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
mp-wp_genesis 25 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
mp-wp_genesis 26
mp-wp_genesis 27 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
mp-wp_genesis 28 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
mp-wp_genesis 29 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
mp-wp_genesis 30 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
mp-wp_genesis 31 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
mp-wp_genesis 32 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
mp-wp_genesis 33 these things.
mp-wp_genesis 34
mp-wp_genesis 35 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
mp-wp_genesis 36 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
mp-wp_genesis 37 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
mp-wp_genesis 38 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
mp-wp_genesis 39
mp-wp_genesis 40 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
mp-wp_genesis 41 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
mp-wp_genesis 42 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
mp-wp_genesis 43 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
mp-wp_genesis 44 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
mp-wp_genesis 45 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
mp-wp_genesis 46 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
mp-wp_genesis 47
mp-wp_genesis 48 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
mp-wp_genesis 49 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
mp-wp_genesis 50 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
mp-wp_genesis 51
mp-wp_genesis 52 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
mp-wp_genesis 53 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
mp-wp_genesis 54 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
mp-wp_genesis 55 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
mp-wp_genesis 56 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
mp-wp_genesis 57 introduced by others.
mp-wp_genesis 58
mp-wp_genesis 59 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
mp-wp_genesis 60 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
mp-wp_genesis 61 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
mp-wp_genesis 62 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
mp-wp_genesis 63 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
mp-wp_genesis 64 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
mp-wp_genesis 65
mp-wp_genesis 66 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
mp-wp_genesis 67 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
mp-wp_genesis 68 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
mp-wp_genesis 69 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
mp-wp_genesis 70 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
mp-wp_genesis 71 libraries into non-free programs.
mp-wp_genesis 72
mp-wp_genesis 73 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
mp-wp_genesis 74 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
mp-wp_genesis 75 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
mp-wp_genesis 76 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
mp-wp_genesis 77 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
mp-wp_genesis 78 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
mp-wp_genesis 79 the library.
mp-wp_genesis 80
mp-wp_genesis 81 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
mp-wp_genesis 82 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
mp-wp_genesis 83 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
mp-wp_genesis 84 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
mp-wp_genesis 85 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
mp-wp_genesis 86 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
mp-wp_genesis 87 special circumstances.
mp-wp_genesis 88
mp-wp_genesis 89 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
mp-wp_genesis 90 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
mp-wp_genesis 91 a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
mp-wp_genesis 92 allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
mp-wp_genesis 93 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
mp-wp_genesis 94 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
mp-wp_genesis 95 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
mp-wp_genesis 96
mp-wp_genesis 97 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
mp-wp_genesis 98 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
mp-wp_genesis 99 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
mp-wp_genesis 100 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
mp-wp_genesis 101 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
mp-wp_genesis 102 system.
mp-wp_genesis 103
mp-wp_genesis 104 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
mp-wp_genesis 105 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
mp-wp_genesis 106 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
mp-wp_genesis 107 that program using a modified version of the Library.
mp-wp_genesis 108
mp-wp_genesis 109 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
mp-wp_genesis 110 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
mp-wp_genesis 111 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
mp-wp_genesis 112 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
mp-wp_genesis 113 be combined with the library in order to run.
mp-wp_genesis 114
mp-wp_genesis 115 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
mp-wp_genesis 116 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
mp-wp_genesis 117
mp-wp_genesis 118 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
mp-wp_genesis 119 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
mp-wp_genesis 120 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
mp-wp_genesis 121 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
mp-wp_genesis 122 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
mp-wp_genesis 123
mp-wp_genesis 124 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
mp-wp_genesis 125 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
mp-wp_genesis 126 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
mp-wp_genesis 127
mp-wp_genesis 128 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
mp-wp_genesis 129 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
mp-wp_genesis 130 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
mp-wp_genesis 131 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
mp-wp_genesis 132 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
mp-wp_genesis 133 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
mp-wp_genesis 134 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
mp-wp_genesis 135
mp-wp_genesis 136 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
mp-wp_genesis 137 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
mp-wp_genesis 138 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
mp-wp_genesis 139 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
mp-wp_genesis 140 and installation of the library.
mp-wp_genesis 141
mp-wp_genesis 142 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
mp-wp_genesis 143 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
mp-wp_genesis 144 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
mp-wp_genesis 145 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
mp-wp_genesis 146 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
mp-wp_genesis 147 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
mp-wp_genesis 148 and what the program that uses the Library does.
mp-wp_genesis 149
mp-wp_genesis 150 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
mp-wp_genesis 151 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
mp-wp_genesis 152 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
mp-wp_genesis 153 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
mp-wp_genesis 154 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
mp-wp_genesis 155 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
mp-wp_genesis 156 Library.
mp-wp_genesis 157
mp-wp_genesis 158 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
mp-wp_genesis 159 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
mp-wp_genesis 160 fee.
mp-wp_genesis 161
mp-wp_genesis 162 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
mp-wp_genesis 163 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
mp-wp_genesis 164 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
mp-wp_genesis 165 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
mp-wp_genesis 166
mp-wp_genesis 167 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
mp-wp_genesis 168
mp-wp_genesis 169 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
mp-wp_genesis 170 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
mp-wp_genesis 171
mp-wp_genesis 172 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
mp-wp_genesis 173 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
mp-wp_genesis 174
mp-wp_genesis 175 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
mp-wp_genesis 176 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
mp-wp_genesis 177 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
mp-wp_genesis 178 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
mp-wp_genesis 179 in the event an application does not supply such function or
mp-wp_genesis 180 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
mp-wp_genesis 181 its purpose remains meaningful.
mp-wp_genesis 182
mp-wp_genesis 183 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
mp-wp_genesis 184 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
mp-wp_genesis 185 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
mp-wp_genesis 186 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
mp-wp_genesis 187 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
mp-wp_genesis 188 root function must still compute square roots.)
mp-wp_genesis 189
mp-wp_genesis 190 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
mp-wp_genesis 191 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
mp-wp_genesis 192 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
mp-wp_genesis 193 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
mp-wp_genesis 194 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
mp-wp_genesis 195 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
mp-wp_genesis 196 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
mp-wp_genesis 197 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
mp-wp_genesis 198 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
mp-wp_genesis 199 it.
mp-wp_genesis 200
mp-wp_genesis 201 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
mp-wp_genesis 202 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
mp-wp_genesis 203 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
mp-wp_genesis 204 collective works based on the Library.
mp-wp_genesis 205
mp-wp_genesis 206 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
mp-wp_genesis 207 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
mp-wp_genesis 208 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
mp-wp_genesis 209 the scope of this License.
mp-wp_genesis 210
mp-wp_genesis 211 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
mp-wp_genesis 212 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
mp-wp_genesis 213 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
mp-wp_genesis 214 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
mp-wp_genesis 215 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
mp-wp_genesis 216 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
mp-wp_genesis 217 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
mp-wp_genesis 218 these notices.
mp-wp_genesis 219
mp-wp_genesis 220 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
mp-wp_genesis 221 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
mp-wp_genesis 222 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
mp-wp_genesis 223
mp-wp_genesis 224 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
mp-wp_genesis 225 the Library into a program that is not a library.
mp-wp_genesis 226
mp-wp_genesis 227 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
mp-wp_genesis 228 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
mp-wp_genesis 229 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
mp-wp_genesis 230 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
mp-wp_genesis 231 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
mp-wp_genesis 232 medium customarily used for software interchange.
mp-wp_genesis 233
mp-wp_genesis 234 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
mp-wp_genesis 235 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
mp-wp_genesis 236 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
mp-wp_genesis 237 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
mp-wp_genesis 238 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
mp-wp_genesis 239
mp-wp_genesis 240 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
mp-wp_genesis 241 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
mp-wp_genesis 242 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
mp-wp_genesis 243 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
mp-wp_genesis 244 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
mp-wp_genesis 245
mp-wp_genesis 246 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
mp-wp_genesis 247 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
mp-wp_genesis 248 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
mp-wp_genesis 249 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
mp-wp_genesis 250 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
mp-wp_genesis 251
mp-wp_genesis 252 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
mp-wp_genesis 253 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
mp-wp_genesis 254 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
mp-wp_genesis 255 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
mp-wp_genesis 256 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
mp-wp_genesis 257 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
mp-wp_genesis 258
mp-wp_genesis 259 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
mp-wp_genesis 260 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
mp-wp_genesis 261 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
mp-wp_genesis 262 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
mp-wp_genesis 263 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
mp-wp_genesis 264 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
mp-wp_genesis 265
mp-wp_genesis 266 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
mp-wp_genesis 267 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
mp-wp_genesis 268 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
mp-wp_genesis 269 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
mp-wp_genesis 270
mp-wp_genesis 271 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
mp-wp_genesis 272 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
mp-wp_genesis 273 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
mp-wp_genesis 274 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
mp-wp_genesis 275 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
mp-wp_genesis 276 engineering for debugging such modifications.
mp-wp_genesis 277
mp-wp_genesis 278 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
mp-wp_genesis 279 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
mp-wp_genesis 280 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
mp-wp_genesis 281 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
mp-wp_genesis 282 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
mp-wp_genesis 283 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
mp-wp_genesis 284 of these things:
mp-wp_genesis 285
mp-wp_genesis 286 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
mp-wp_genesis 287 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
mp-wp_genesis 288 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
mp-wp_genesis 289 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
mp-wp_genesis 290 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
mp-wp_genesis 291 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
mp-wp_genesis 292 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
mp-wp_genesis 293 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
mp-wp_genesis 294 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
mp-wp_genesis 295 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
mp-wp_genesis 296 to use the modified definitions.)
mp-wp_genesis 297
mp-wp_genesis 298 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
mp-wp_genesis 299 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
mp-wp_genesis 300 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
mp-wp_genesis 301 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
mp-wp_genesis 302 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
mp-wp_genesis 303 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
mp-wp_genesis 304 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
mp-wp_genesis 305
mp-wp_genesis 306 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
mp-wp_genesis 307 least three years, to give the same user the materials
mp-wp_genesis 308 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
mp-wp_genesis 309 than the cost of performing this distribution.
mp-wp_genesis 310
mp-wp_genesis 311 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
mp-wp_genesis 312 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
mp-wp_genesis 313 specified materials from the same place.
mp-wp_genesis 314
mp-wp_genesis 315 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
mp-wp_genesis 316 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
mp-wp_genesis 317
mp-wp_genesis 318 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
mp-wp_genesis 319 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
mp-wp_genesis 320 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
mp-wp_genesis 321 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
mp-wp_genesis 322 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
mp-wp_genesis 323 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
mp-wp_genesis 324 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
mp-wp_genesis 325 the executable.
mp-wp_genesis 326
mp-wp_genesis 327 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
mp-wp_genesis 328 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
mp-wp_genesis 329 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
mp-wp_genesis 330 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
mp-wp_genesis 331 distribute.
mp-wp_genesis 332
mp-wp_genesis 333 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
mp-wp_genesis 334 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
mp-wp_genesis 335 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
mp-wp_genesis 336 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
mp-wp_genesis 337 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
mp-wp_genesis 338 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
mp-wp_genesis 339
mp-wp_genesis 340 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
mp-wp_genesis 341 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
mp-wp_genesis 342 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
mp-wp_genesis 343 Sections above.
mp-wp_genesis 344
mp-wp_genesis 345 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
mp-wp_genesis 346 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
mp-wp_genesis 347 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
mp-wp_genesis 348
mp-wp_genesis 349 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
mp-wp_genesis 350 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
mp-wp_genesis 351 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
mp-wp_genesis 352 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
mp-wp_genesis 353 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
mp-wp_genesis 354 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
mp-wp_genesis 355 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
mp-wp_genesis 356
mp-wp_genesis 357 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
mp-wp_genesis 358 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
mp-wp_genesis 359 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
mp-wp_genesis 360 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
mp-wp_genesis 361 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
mp-wp_genesis 362 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
mp-wp_genesis 363 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
mp-wp_genesis 364 the Library or works based on it.
mp-wp_genesis 365
mp-wp_genesis 366 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
mp-wp_genesis 367 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
mp-wp_genesis 368 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
mp-wp_genesis 369 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
mp-wp_genesis 370 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
mp-wp_genesis 371 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
mp-wp_genesis 372 this License.
mp-wp_genesis 373
mp-wp_genesis 374 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
mp-wp_genesis 375 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
mp-wp_genesis 376 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
mp-wp_genesis 377 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
mp-wp_genesis 378 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
mp-wp_genesis 379 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
mp-wp_genesis 380 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
mp-wp_genesis 381 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
mp-wp_genesis 382 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
mp-wp_genesis 383 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
mp-wp_genesis 384 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
mp-wp_genesis 385 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
mp-wp_genesis 386
mp-wp_genesis 387 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
mp-wp_genesis 388 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
mp-wp_genesis 389 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
mp-wp_genesis 390
mp-wp_genesis 391 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
mp-wp_genesis 392 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
mp-wp_genesis 393 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
mp-wp_genesis 394 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
mp-wp_genesis 395 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
mp-wp_genesis 396 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
mp-wp_genesis 397 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
mp-wp_genesis 398 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
mp-wp_genesis 399 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
mp-wp_genesis 400 impose that choice.
mp-wp_genesis 401
mp-wp_genesis 402 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
mp-wp_genesis 403 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
mp-wp_genesis 404
mp-wp_genesis 405 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
mp-wp_genesis 406 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
mp-wp_genesis 407 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
mp-wp_genesis 408 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
mp-wp_genesis 409 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
mp-wp_genesis 410 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
mp-wp_genesis 411 written in the body of this License.
mp-wp_genesis 412
mp-wp_genesis 413 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
mp-wp_genesis 414 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
mp-wp_genesis 415 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
mp-wp_genesis 416 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
mp-wp_genesis 417
mp-wp_genesis 418 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
mp-wp_genesis 419 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
mp-wp_genesis 420 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
mp-wp_genesis 421 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
mp-wp_genesis 422 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
mp-wp_genesis 423 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
mp-wp_genesis 424 the Free Software Foundation.
mp-wp_genesis 425
mp-wp_genesis 426 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
mp-wp_genesis 427 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
mp-wp_genesis 428 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
mp-wp_genesis 429 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
mp-wp_genesis 430 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
mp-wp_genesis 431 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
mp-wp_genesis 432 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
mp-wp_genesis 433 and reuse of software generally.
mp-wp_genesis 434
mp-wp_genesis 435 NO WARRANTY
mp-wp_genesis 436
mp-wp_genesis 437 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
mp-wp_genesis 438 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
mp-wp_genesis 439 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
mp-wp_genesis 440 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
mp-wp_genesis 441 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
mp-wp_genesis 442 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
mp-wp_genesis 443 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
mp-wp_genesis 444 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
mp-wp_genesis 445 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
mp-wp_genesis 446
mp-wp_genesis 447 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
mp-wp_genesis 448 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
mp-wp_genesis 449 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
mp-wp_genesis 450 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
mp-wp_genesis 451 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
mp-wp_genesis 452 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
mp-wp_genesis 453 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
mp-wp_genesis 454 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
mp-wp_genesis 455 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
mp-wp_genesis 456 DAMAGES.
mp-wp_genesis 457
mp-wp_genesis 458 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
mp-wp_genesis 459
mp-wp_genesis 460 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
mp-wp_genesis 461
mp-wp_genesis 462 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
mp-wp_genesis 463 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
mp-wp_genesis 464 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
mp-wp_genesis 465 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
mp-wp_genesis 466 ordinary General Public License).
mp-wp_genesis 467
mp-wp_genesis 468 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
mp-wp_genesis 469 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
mp-wp_genesis 470 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
mp-wp_genesis 471 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
mp-wp_genesis 472
mp-wp_genesis 473 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
mp-wp_genesis 474 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
mp-wp_genesis 475
mp-wp_genesis 476 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
mp-wp_genesis 477 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
mp-wp_genesis 478 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
mp-wp_genesis 479 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
mp-wp_genesis 480
mp-wp_genesis 481 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
mp-wp_genesis 482 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
mp-wp_genesis 483 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
mp-wp_genesis 484 Lesser General Public License for more details.
mp-wp_genesis 485
mp-wp_genesis 486 You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public
mp-wp_genesis 487 License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software
mp-wp_genesis 488 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
mp-wp_genesis 489
mp-wp_genesis 490 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
mp-wp_genesis 491
mp-wp_genesis 492 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
mp-wp_genesis 493 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
mp-wp_genesis 494 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
mp-wp_genesis 495
mp-wp_genesis 496 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
mp-wp_genesis 497 library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.
