OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
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 soft-
ware and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is 
covered by the GNU Lesser 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 surren-
der 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 war-
ranty 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.
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 consti-
tute 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.

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  
						

							117
ENGENGLISH
OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provid-
ed 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 copy-
right 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 regard-
less 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 alterna-
tive 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.)
  
						

							118
ENGENGLISH
OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
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 defini-
tion files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special excep-
tion, 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 permis-
sion 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 con-
ditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to sat-
isfy 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 sec-
tion 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 inter-
faces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distri-
bution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus exclud-
ed. 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 
  
						

							119
ENGENGLISH
OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
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 gen-
erally.
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.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically 
libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest 
you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in 
any particular case, based on the explanations below. 
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are 
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you 
wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in 
new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to sur-

render these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or 
if you modify it. 
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights 
that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the 
library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making 
changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. 
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which 
gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. 
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library 
is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, 
so that the original author’s reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others. 
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a com-
pany cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. 
Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom 
of use specified in this license. 
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the 
GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary 
General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free 
programs. 
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally 
speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits 
such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more 
lax criteria for linking other code with the library. 
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the 
ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing 
non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. 
However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. 
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, 
so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more 
frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain 
by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. 
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a 
large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many 
more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. 
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of a 
program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified ver-
sion of the Library. 
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference 
between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the 
library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. 
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copy-
right holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License 
(also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
