+SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION |
21 |
+SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT |
22 |
+ |
23 |
+IMPORTANT! READ THIS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. The computer |
24 |
+software product, fontware, typefaces and/or data, including any |
25 |
+accompanying explanatory written materials (the "Software") should only |
26 |
+be installed or used by the Licensee ("you") on the condition you agree |
27 |
+with SEIKO EPSON CORPORATION ("EPSON") to the terms and conditions set |
28 |
+forth in this Agreement. By installing or using the Software, you are |
29 |
+representing to agree all the terms and conditions set forth in this |
30 |
+Agreement. You should read this Agreement carefully before installing or |
31 |
+using the Software. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of |
32 |
+this Agreement, you are not permitted to install or use the Software. |
33 |
+ |
34 |
+1. License. EPSON and its suppliers grant you a personal, nonexclusive, |
35 |
+royalty-free, non-sublicensable limited license to install and use the |
36 |
+Software on any single computer or computers that you intend to use |
37 |
+directly or via network. You may allow other users of the computers |
38 |
+connected to the network to use the Software, provided that you (a) |
39 |
+ensure that all such users agree and are bound by the terms and |
40 |
+conditions of this Agreement, (b) ensure that all such users use the |
41 |
+Software only in conjunction with the computers and in relation to the |
42 |
+network of which they form part, and (c) indemnify and keep whole EPSON |
43 |
+and its suppliers against all damages, losses, costs, expenses and |
44 |
+liabilities which EPSON or its suppliers may incur as a consequence of |
45 |
+such users failing to observe and perform the terms and conditions of |
46 |
+this Agreement. You may also make copies of the Software as necessary |
47 |
+for backup and archival purposes, provided that the copyright notice is |
48 |

+that you transfer this Agreement, the Software, including all copies, |
61 |
+updates and prior versions, to such person or entity, and that you |
62 |
+retain no copies, including copies stored on a computer. Some states or |
63 |
+jurisdictions, however, do not allow the restriction or limitation on |
64 |
+transfer of the Software, so the above limitations may not apply to you. |
65 |
+ |
66 |
+3.Ownership. Title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights |
67 |
+in and to the Software and any copies thereof shall remain with EPSON or |
68 |
+its suppliers. There is no transfer to you of any title to or ownership |
69 |
+of the Software and this License shall not be construed as a sale of any |
70 |
+rights in the Software. The Software is protected by Japanese Copyright |
71 |
+Law and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual |
72 |

73 |
+Agreement, you may not copy the Software. You also agree not to remove |
74 |
+or alter any copyright and other proprietary notices on any copies of |
75 |
+the Software. |
76 |
+ |
77 |
+4.LGPL. The Software uses the open source software programs which |
78 |
+apply the GNU Lesser General Public License Version 2 or later version |
79 |
+(“ LGPL”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, you may |
80 |
+make modification of the Software for your own use and reverse |
81 |
+engineering for debugging such modifications according to the terms and |
82 |
+conditions of the LGPL. |
83 |
+ |
84 |
+5. Protection and Security. You agree to use your best efforts and take |
85 |
+all reasonable steps to safeguard the Software to ensure that no |
86 |
+unauthorized person has access to them and that no unauthorized copy, |
87 |
+publication, disclosure or distribution of any of the Software is made. |
88 |
+You acknowledge that the Software contains valuable, confidential |
89 |
+information and trade secrets, that unauthorized use and copying are |
90 |
+harmful to EPSON and its suppliers, and that you have a confidentiality |
91 |
+obligation as to such valuable information and trade secrets. |
92 |
+ |
93 |
+6. Limited Warranty. In case of that you obtained the Software by media |
94 |
+from EPSON or a dealer, EPSON warrants that the media on which the |
95 |
+Software is recorded will be free from defects in workmanship and |
96 |
+materials under normal use for a period of 90 days from the date of |
97 |
+delivery to you. If the media is returned to EPSON or the dealer from |
98 |
+which the media was obtained within 90 days of the date of delivery to |
99 |
+you, and if EPSON determines the media to be defective and provided the |
100 |
+media was not subject to misuse, abuse, misapplication or use in |
101 |
+defective equipment, EPSON will replace the media, upon your return to |
102 |
+EPSON of the Software, including all copies of any portions thereof. ALL |
103 |
+IMPLIED WARRANTIES ON THE MEDIA, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
104 |
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO THE |
105 |
+DURATION OF THE EXPRESS WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE. |
106 |
+ |
107 |
+You acknowledge and agree that the use of the Software is at your sole |
108 |
+risk. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY |
109 |
+KIND. EPSON AND ITS SUPPLIERS DO NOT AND CANNOT WARRANT THE PERFORMANCE |
110 |
+OR RESULTS YOU MAY OBTAIN BY USING THE SOFTWARE. THE FOREGOING STATES |
111 |
+THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES FOR EPSON'S AND ITS SUPPLIERS' BREACH OF |
112 |
+WARRANTY. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY, EPSON AND ITS |
113 |
+SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO NON-INFRINGEMENT, |
114 |
+MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states or |
115 |
+jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or |
116 |
+limitations on how long an implied warranty may last, so the above |
117 |
+limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal |
118 |
+rights. You may have other rights which vary from state to state or |
119 |
+jurisdiction to jurisdiction. |
120 |
+ |
121 |
+IN NO EVENT WILL EPSON OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU, WHETHER |
122 |
+ARISING UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, |
123 |
+BREACH OR WARRANTY, MISREPRESENTATION OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY DIRECT, |
124 |
+CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS |
125 |
+OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF EPSON, ITS SUPPLIERS OR ANY REPRESENTATIVE HAS |
126 |
+BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY |
127 |
+THIRD PARTY. Some states or jurisdictions, however, do not allow the |
128 |
+exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential or special damages, |
129 |
+so the above limitations may not apply to you. |
130 |
+ |
131 |
+7. Termination. Without prejudice to any other rights EPSON has, this |
132 |
+Agreement shall automatically terminate upon failure by you to comply |
133 |
+with its terms. You may also terminate this Agreement at any time by |
134 |
+uninstalling and destroying the Software and all copies thereof. |
135 |
+ |
136 |
+8. Export Restriction. You agree not to transfer, export or re-export |
137 |
+the Software and any data or information which you obtained from EPSON |
138 |
+or use the Software without a proper license under Japanese law, |
139 |
+restrictions and regulations, or the laws of the jurisdiction in which |
140 |
+the Software is obtained. |
141 |
+ |
142 |
+9. Governing Law and General Provisions. This Agreement shall be |
143 |
+governed and construed under by the laws of Japan without regard to its |
144 |
+conflicts of law rules. This Agreement is the entire agreement between |
145 |
+the parties with respect to the Software, and supersedes any purchase |
146 |
+order, communication, advertisement, or representation concerning the |
147 |
+Software. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit |
148 |
+of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and |
149 |
+legal representatives. If any provision herein is found void or |
150 |
+unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of the |
151 |
+Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its |
152 |
+terms. This Agreement may only be modified in writing signed by an |
153 |
+authorized officer of EPSON. |
154 |
+ |
155 |
+10. U.S. Government End Users. If you are acquiring the Software on |
156 |
+behalf of any unit or agency of the United States Government, the |
157 |
+following provisions apply. The Government agrees: (i) if the Software |
158 |
+is supplied to the Department of Defense (DoD), the Software is |
159 |
+classified as " Commercial Computer Software" and the Government is |
160 |
+acquiring only " restricted rights" in the Software and its |
161 |
+documentation as that term is defined in Clause 252. |
162 |
+227-7013(c)(1) of the DFARS; and (ii) if the Software is supplied to any |
163 |
+unit or agency of the United States Government other than DoD, the |
164 |
+Government's rights in the Software and its documentation will be as |
165 |
+defined in Clause 52. |
166 |
+227-19(c)(2) of the FAR or, in the case of NASA, in Clause 18-52.227-86 |
167 |
+(d) of the NASA supplement to the FAR. |
168 |
+ |
169 |
+ |
170 |
+11. Internet Connection. The Software may have the ability to connect |
171 |
+over the Internet to transmit data and/or information to and from your |
172 |
+computer regarding the EPSON hardware and/or software that you use (" |
173 |
+EPSON Products") including, but not limited to, EPSON Products model |
174 |
+information, the country/ region where you live, the condition of EPSON |
175 |
+Products, etc. EPSON may alter the items of such data and/or information |
176 |
+without your prior approval. EPSON does not collect any personally |
177 |
+identifiable information without your permission. EPSON may, however, |
178 |
+use non personally identifiable information for statistical purposes to |
179 |
+improve the level of service we provide to our users If you agree to |
180 |
+install the Software, any transmissions to or from the Internet will be |
181 |
+in accordance with EPSON's then-current Privacy Policy provided in EPSON |
182 |
+Internet site. |
183 |
+ |
184 |
+12.Updating Software Version. The Software may have the ability to |
185 |
+connect over the Internet to a server of EPSON or any third party |
186 |
+entrusted by EPSON in order to update the software version (i) |
187 |

+GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
193 |
+ Version 2.1, February 1999 |
194 |
+ |
195 |
+ Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
196 |
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
197 |
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
198 |
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
199 |
+ |
200 |
+[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts |
201 |
+ as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence |
202 |
+ the version number 2.1.] |
203 |
+ |
204 |
+ Preamble |
205 |
+ |
206 |
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
207 |
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
208 |
+Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
209 |
+free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. |
210 |
+ |
211 |
+ This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some |
212 |
+specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the |
213 |
+Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You |
214 |
+can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether |
215 |
+this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better |
216 |
+strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. |
217 |
+ |
218 |
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, |
219 |
+not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that |
220 |
+you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge |
221 |
+for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get |
222 |
+it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of |
223 |
+it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do |
224 |
+these things. |
225 |
+ |
226 |
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
227 |
+distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these |
228 |
+rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for |
229 |
+you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. |
230 |
+ |
231 |
+ For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis |
232 |
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave |
233 |
+you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source |
234 |
+code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide |
235 |
+complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them |
236 |
+with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling |
237 |
+it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
238 |
+ |
239 |
+ We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the |
240 |
+library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal |
241 |
+permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. |
242 |
+ |
243 |
+ To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that |
244 |
+there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is |
245 |
+modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know |
246 |
+that what they have is not the original version, so that the original |
247 |
+author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be |
248 |
+introduced by others. |
249 |
+ |
250 |
+ Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of |
251 |
+any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot |
252 |
+effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a |
253 |
+restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that |
254 |
+any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be |
255 |
+consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. |
256 |
+ |
257 |
+ Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the |
258 |
+ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser |
259 |
+General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and |
260 |
+is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use |
261 |
+this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those |
262 |
+libraries into non-free programs. |
263 |
+ |
264 |
+ When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using |
265 |
+a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a |
266 |
+combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary |
267 |
+General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the |
268 |
+entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General |
269 |
+Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with |
270 |
+the library. |
271 |
+ |
272 |
+ We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it |
273 |
+does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General |
274 |
+Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less |
275 |
+of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages |
276 |
+are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many |
277 |
+libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain |
278 |
+special circumstances. |
279 |
+ |
280 |
+ For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to |
281 |
+encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes |
282 |
+a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be |
283 |
+allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free |
284 |
+library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this |
285 |
+case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free |
286 |
+software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. |
287 |
+ |
288 |
+ In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free |
289 |
+programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of |
290 |
+free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in |
291 |
+non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU |
292 |
+operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating |
293 |
+system. |
294 |
+ |
295 |
+ Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the |
296 |
+users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is |
297 |
+linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run |
298 |
+that program using a modified version of the Library. |
299 |
+ |
300 |
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
301 |
+modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a |
302 |
+"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The |
303 |
+former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must |
304 |
+be combined with the library in order to run. |
305 |
+ |
306 |
+ GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
307 |
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
308 |
+ |
309 |
+ 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other |
310 |
+program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or |
311 |
+other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
312 |
+this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). |
313 |
+Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
314 |
+ |
315 |
+ A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data |
316 |
+prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs |
317 |
+(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. |
318 |
+ |
319 |
+ The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work |
320 |
+which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the |
321 |
+Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under |
322 |
+copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a |
323 |
+portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
324 |
+straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
325 |
+included without limitation in the term "modification".) |
326 |
+ |
327 |
+ "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
328 |
+making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means |
329 |
+all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated |
330 |
+interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation |
331 |
+and installation of the library. |
332 |
+ |
333 |
+ Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
334 |
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
335 |
+running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from |
336 |
+such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based |
337 |
+on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for |
338 |
+writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does |
339 |
+and what the program that uses the Library does. |
340 |
+ |
341 |
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's |
342 |
+complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that |
343 |
+you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an |
344 |
+appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact |
345 |
+all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
346 |
+warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the |
347 |
+Library. |
348 |
+ |
349 |
+ You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
350 |
+and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a |
351 |
+fee. |
352 |
+ |
353 |
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion |
354 |
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and |
355 |
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
356 |
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
357 |
+ |
358 |
+ a) The modified work must itself be a software library. |
359 |
+ |
360 |
+ b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices |
361 |
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
362 |
+ |
363 |
+ c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no |
364 |
+ charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
365 |
+ |
366 |
+ d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a |
367 |
+ table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses |
368 |
+ the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility |
369 |
+ is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, |
370 |
+ in the event an application does not supply such function or |
371 |
+ table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of |
372 |
+ its purpose remains meaningful. |
373 |
+ |
374 |
+ (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has |
375 |
+ a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the |
376 |
+ application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any |
377 |
+ application-supplied function or table used by this function must |
378 |
+ be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square |
379 |
+ root function must still compute square roots.) |
380 |
+ |
381 |
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
382 |
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, |
383 |
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
384 |
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
385 |
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
386 |
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
387 |
+on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
388 |
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
389 |
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote |
390 |
+it. |
391 |
+ |
392 |
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
393 |
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
394 |
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
395 |
+collective works based on the Library. |
396 |
+ |
397 |
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library |
398 |
+with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of |
399 |
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
400 |
+the scope of this License. |
401 |
+ |
402 |
+ 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public |
403 |
+License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do |
404 |
+this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so |
405 |
+that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, |
406 |
+instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the |
407 |
+ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify |
408 |
+that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in |
409 |
+these notices. |
410 |
+ |
411 |
+ Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for |
412 |
+that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all |
413 |
+subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. |
414 |
+ |
415 |
+ This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of |
416 |
+the Library into a program that is not a library. |
417 |
+ |
418 |
+ 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or |
419 |
+derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form |
420 |
+under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany |
421 |
+it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which |
422 |
+must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
423 |
+medium customarily used for software interchange. |
424 |
+ |
425 |
+ If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy |
426 |
+from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the |
427 |
+source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to |
428 |
+distribute the source code, even though third parties are not |
429 |
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
430 |
+ |
431 |
+ 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the |
432 |
+Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or |
433 |
+linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a |
434 |
+work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and |
435 |
+therefore falls outside the scope of this License. |
436 |
+ |
437 |
+ However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library |
438 |
+creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it |
439 |
+contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the |
440 |
+library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. |
441 |
+Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. |
442 |
+ |
443 |
+ When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file |
444 |
+that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a |
445 |
+derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. |
446 |
+Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be |
447 |
+linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The |
448 |
+threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. |
449 |
+ |
450 |
+ If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data |
451 |
+structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline |
452 |
+functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object |
453 |
+file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative |
454 |
+work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the |
455 |
+Library will still fall under Section 6.) |
456 |
+ |
457 |
+ Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may |
458 |
+distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. |
459 |
+Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, |
460 |
+whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. |
461 |
+ |
462 |
+ 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or |
463 |
+link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a |
464 |
+work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work |
465 |
+under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit |
466 |
+modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse |
467 |
+engineering for debugging such modifications. |
468 |
+ |
469 |
+ You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the |
470 |
+Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by |
471 |
+this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work |
472 |
+during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the |
473 |
+copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference |
474 |
+directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one |
475 |
+of these things: |
476 |
+ |
477 |
+ a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding |
478 |
+ machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever |
479 |
+ changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under |
480 |
+ Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked |
481 |
+ with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that |
482 |
+ uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the |
483 |
+ user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified |
484 |
+ executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood |
485 |
+ that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the |
486 |
+ Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application |
487 |
+ to use the modified definitions.) |
488 |
+ |
489 |
+ b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the |
490 |
+ Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a |
491 |
+ copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, |
492 |
+ rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) |
493 |
+ will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if |
494 |
+ the user installs one, as long as the modified version is |
495 |
+ interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. |
496 |
+ |
497 |
+ c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at |
498 |
+ least three years, to give the same user the materials |
499 |
+ specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more |
500 |
+ than the cost of performing this distribution. |
501 |
+ |
502 |
+ d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy |
503 |
+ from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above |
504 |
+ specified materials from the same place. |
505 |
+ |
506 |
+ e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these |
507 |
+ materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. |
508 |
+ |
509 |
+ For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the |
510 |
+Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for |
511 |
+reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, |
512 |
+the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is |
513 |
+normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major |
514 |
+components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on |
515 |
+which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies |
516 |
+the executable. |
517 |
+ |
518 |
+ It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license |
519 |
+restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally |
520 |
+accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot |
521 |
+use both them and the Library together in an executable that you |
522 |
+distribute. |
523 |
+ |
524 |
+ 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the |
525 |
+Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library |
526 |
+facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined |
527 |
+library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on |
528 |
+the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise |
529 |
+permitted, and provided that you do these two things: |
530 |
+ |
531 |
+ a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work |
532 |
+ based on the Library, uncombined with any other library |
533 |
+ facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the |
534 |
+ Sections above. |
535 |
+ |
536 |
+ b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact |
537 |
+ that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining |
538 |
+ where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. |
539 |
+ |
540 |
+ 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute |
541 |
+the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any |
542 |
+attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or |
543 |
+distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your |
544 |
+rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, |
545 |
+or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses |
546 |
+terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
547 |
+ |
548 |
+ 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
549 |
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
550 |
+distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are |
551 |
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
552 |
+modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the |
553 |
+Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
554 |
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
555 |
+the Library or works based on it. |
556 |
+ |
557 |
+ 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the |
558 |
+Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
559 |
+original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library |
560 |
+subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
561 |
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
562 |
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with |
563 |
+this License. |
564 |
+ |
565 |
+ 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
566 |
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
567 |
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
568 |
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
569 |
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
570 |
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
571 |
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
572 |
+may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent |
573 |
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by |
574 |
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
575 |
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
576 |
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. |
577 |
+ |
578 |
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
579 |
+particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, |
580 |
+and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
581 |
+ |
582 |
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
583 |
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
584 |
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
585 |
+integrity of the free software distribution system which is |
586 |
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
587 |
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
588 |
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
589 |
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
590 |
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
591 |
+impose that choice. |
592 |
+ |
593 |
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
594 |
+be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
595 |
+ |
596 |
+ 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in |
597 |
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
598 |
+original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add |
599 |
+an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, |
600 |
+so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus |
601 |
+excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if |
602 |
+written in the body of this License. |
603 |
+ |
604 |
+ 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
605 |
+versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. |
606 |
+Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, |
607 |
+but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
608 |
+ |
609 |
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library |
610 |
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and |
611 |
+"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and |
612 |
+conditions either of that version or of any later version published by |
613 |
+the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a |
614 |
+license version number, you may choose any version ever published by |
615 |
+the Free Software Foundation. |
616 |
+ |
617 |
+ 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free |
618 |
+programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, |
619 |
+write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is |
620 |
+copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free |
621 |
+Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our |
622 |
+decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status |
623 |
+of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
624 |
+and reuse of software generally. |
625 |
+ |
626 |
+ NO WARRANTY |
627 |
+ |
628 |
+ 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
629 |
+WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
630 |
+EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR |
631 |
+OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY |
632 |
+KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE |
633 |
+IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
634 |
+PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
635 |
+LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME |
636 |
+THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
637 |
+ |
638 |
+ 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
639 |
+WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY |
640 |
+AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU |
641 |
+FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR |
642 |
+CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE |
643 |
+LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
644 |
+RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
645 |
+FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF |
646 |
+SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH |
647 |
+DAMAGES. |
648 |
+ |
649 |
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
650 |
+ |
651 |
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries |
652 |
+ |
653 |
+ If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest |
654 |
+possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that |
655 |
+everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting |
656 |
+redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the |
657 |
+ordinary General Public License). |
658 |
+ |
659 |
+ To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is |
660 |
+safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
661 |
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
662 |
+"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
663 |
+ |
664 |
+ <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
665 |
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
666 |
+ |
667 |
+ This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or |
668 |
+ modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public |
669 |
+ License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either |

+ version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. |
671 |

672 |
+ This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
673 |
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
674 |
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU |
675 |
+ Lesser General Public License for more details. |
676 |
+ |
677 |
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public |
678 |
+ License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software |
679 |
+ Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
680 |
+ |
681 |
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
682 |
+ |
683 |
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
684 |
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if |
685 |
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
686 |
+ |

688 |
