The necessary changes are small and explained in +the following sections. At the end of this chapter, it is described how +the library is initialized, and how the requirements of the library are +verified. + +* Menu: + +* Header:: What header file you need to include. +* Building sources:: How to build sources using the library. +* Building sources using Automake:: How to build sources with the help of Automake. +* Initializing the library:: How to initialize the library. +* Multi-Threading:: How Libgpg-error can be used in a MT environment. + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Header, Next: Building sources, Up: Preparation + +2.1 Header +========== + +All interfaces (data types and functions) of the library are defined in +the header file 'libgpg-error.h'. You must include this in all source +files using the library, either directly or through some other header +file, like this: + + #include <libgpg-error.h> + + Note well that the header file is platform specific and may only be +used on the platform for which it has been build. + + The name space of Libgpg-error is 'gpg_*' and 'gpgrt*' for function +and type names and 'GPG_*' and 'GPGRT_*' for other symbols. In addition +the same name prefixes with one prepended underscore are reserved for +internal use and should never be used by an application. + +Certain parts of gpg-error.h may be included by defining these macros: + +'GPG_ERR_ENABLE_GETTEXT_MACROS' + Define to provide macros to map the internal gettext API to + standard names. This has only an effect on Windows platforms. + +'GPGRT_ENABLE_ES_MACROS' + Define to provide "es_" macros for the estream functions. + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Building sources, Next: Building sources using Automake, Prev: Header, Up: Preparation + +2.2 Building sources +==================== + +If you want to compile a source file including the 'gpg-error.h' header +file, you must make sure that the compiler can find it in the directory +hierarchy. This is accomplished by adding the path to the directory in +which the header file is located to the compilers include file search +path (via the '-I' option). + + However, the path to the include file is determined at the time the +source is configured. To solve this problem, Libgpg-error ships with +the small helper program 'gpgrt-config' which know the path to the +include file and other configuration options. The options that need to +be added to the compiler invocation at compile time are output by the +'--cflags' option to 'gpgrt-config' The following example shows how it +can be used at the command line: + + gcc -c foo.c $(gpgrt-config --cflags) + + Adding the output of 'gpgrt-config --cflags' to the compiler’s +command line will ensure that the compiler can find the Libgpg-error +header file. + + A similar problem occurs when linking the program with the library. +Again, the compiler has to find the library files. For this to work, +the path to the library files has to be added to the library search path +(via the '-L' option). For this, the option '--libs' to 'gpgrt-config' +can be used. The example shows how to link 'foo.o' with the +Libgpg-error library to a program 'foo'. + + gcc -o foo foo.o $(gpgrt-config --libs) + + Of course you can also combine both examples to a single command by +specifying both options to 'gpgrt-config': + + gcc -o foo foo.c $(gpgrt-config --cflags --libs) + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Building sources using Automake, Next: Initializing the library, Prev: Building sources, Up: Preparation + +2.3 Building sources using Automake +=================================== + +It is much easier if you use GNU Automake instead of writing your own +Makefiles. If you do that, you do not have to worry about finding and +invoking the 'gpgrt-config' script at all. Libgpg-error provides an +extension to Automake that does all the work for you. + + -- Macro: AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR ([MINIMUM-VERSION], [ACTION-IF-FOUND], + [ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]) + Check whether Libgpg-error (at least version MINIMUM-VERSION, if + given) exists on the host system. If it is found, execute + ACTION-IF-FOUND, otherwise do ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND, if given. + + Additionally, the function defines 'GPG_ERROR_CFLAGS' to the flags + needed for compilation of the program to find the 'gpg-error.h' + header file, and 'GPG_ERROR_LIBS' to the linker flags needed to + link the program to the Libgpg-error library. If the used helper + script does not match the target type you are building for a + warning is printed and the string 'libgpg-error' is appended to the + variable 'gpg_config_script_warn'. + + This macro searches for 'gpgrt-config' along the PATH. If you are + cross-compiling, it is useful to set the environment variable + 'SYSROOT' to the top directory of your target. The macro will then + first look for the helper program in the 'bin' directory below that + top directory. An absolute directory name must be used for + 'SYSROOT'. Finally, if the configure command line option + '--with-libgpg-error-prefix' is used, only its value is used for + the top directory below which the helper script is expected. + + You can use the defined Autoconf variables like this in your +'Makefile.am': + + AM_CPPFLAGS = $(GPG_ERROR_CFLAGS) + LDADD = $(GPG_ERROR_LIBS) + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Initializing the library, Next: Multi-Threading, Prev: Building sources using Automake, Up: Preparation + +2.4 Initializing the library +============================ + +Before the library can be used, it should initialize itself. This is +achieved by invoking the function 'gpgrt_check_version' described below. + + Also, it is often desirable to check that the version of Libgpg-error +used is indeed one which fits all requirements. Even with binary +compatibility, new features may have been introduced, but due to problem +with the dynamic linker an old version may actually be used. So you may +want to check that the version is okay right after program startup. + + -- Function: const char * gpgrt_check_version (const char *REQ_VERSION) + + The function 'gpgrt_check_version' initializes some subsystems used + by Libgpg-error and must be invoked before any other function in + the library. *Note Multi-Threading::. + + Furthermore, this function returns the version number of the + library. It can also verify that the version number is higher than + a certain required version number REQ_VERSION, if this value is not + a null pointer. + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Multi-Threading, Prev: Initializing the library, Up: Preparation + +2.5 Multi-Threading +=================== + +TBD. + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Generalities, Next: Tools, Prev: Preparation, Up: Top + +3 Generalities +************** + +TBD.

It also counts + as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the + version number 2.1.] + +Preamble +======== + +The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to +share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are +intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to +make sure the software is free for all its users. + + This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some +specially designated software--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 surrender 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 company 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 version 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. + + GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + 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 copyright 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". + + A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data + prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs + (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. + + The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work + which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the + Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under + copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a + portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or + translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, + translation is included without limitation in the term + "modification".) + + "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for + making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code + means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any + associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to + control compilation and installation of the library. + + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are + not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act + of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and + output from such a program is covered only if its contents + constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of + the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true + depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the + Library does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's + complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided + that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an + appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep + intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the + absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License + along with the Library. + + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, + and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange + for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of + it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and + distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 + above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a. The modified work must itself be a software library. + + b. You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + c. You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no + charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. + + d. If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or + a table of data to be supplied by an application program that + uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the + facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to + ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such + function or table, the facility still operates, and performs + whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. + + (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots + has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the + application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any + application-supplied function or table used by this function + must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the + square root function must still compute square roots.) + + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the + Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate + works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply + to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But + when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a + work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on + the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees + extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part + regardless of who wrote it. + + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or + contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the + intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of + derivative or collective works based on the Library. + + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the + Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a + volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other + work under the scope of this License. + + 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public + License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To + do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, + so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, + version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than + version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, + then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not + make any other change in these notices. + + Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for + that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to + all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. + + This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the + Library into a program that is not a library. + + 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative + of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the + terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with + the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must + be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a + medium customarily used for software interchange. + + If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy + from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy + the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to + distribute the source code, even though third parties are not + compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the + Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled + or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such + a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and + therefore falls outside the scope of this License. + + However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library + creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because + it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses + the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. + Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. + + When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header + file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may + be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is + not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work + can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a + library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely + defined by law. + + If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data + structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline + functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object + file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a + derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus + portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) + + Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may + distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section + 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, + whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. + + 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link + a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work + containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under + terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification + of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for + debugging such modifications. + + You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the + Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered + by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the + work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include + the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a + reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, + you must do one of these things: + + a. Accompany the work with the complete corresponding + machine-readable source code for the Library including + whatever changes were used in the work (which must be + distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is + an executable linked with the Library, with the complete + machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code + and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library + and then relink to produce a modified executable containing + the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who + changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will + not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use + the modified definitions.) + + b. Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the + Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run + time a copy of the library already present on the user's + computer system, rather than copying library functions into + the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified + version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as + the modified version is interface-compatible with the version + that the work was made with. + + c. Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least + three years, to give the same user the materials specified in + Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of + performing this distribution. + + d. If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy + from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the + above specified materials from the same place. + + e. Verify that the user has already received a copy of these + materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. + + For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the + Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for + reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special + exception, the materials to be distributed need not include + anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary + form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of + the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that + component itself accompanies the executable. + + It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license + restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally + accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you + cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that + you distribute. + + 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the + Library side-by-side in a single library together with other + library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such + a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the + work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is + otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: + + a. Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work + based on the Library, uncombined with any other library + facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the + Sections above. + + b. Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact + that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining + where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same + work. + + 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the + Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any + attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or + distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate + your rights under this License. However, parties who have received + copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their + licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full + compliance. + + 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not + signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify + or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions + are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. + Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work + based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License + to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, + distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. + + 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the + Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the + original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the + Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose + any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights + granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance + by third parties with this License. + + 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent + infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent + issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, + agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this + License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this + License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously + your obligations under this License and any other pertinent + obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the + Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit + royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive + copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you + could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely + from distribution of the Library. + + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable + under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is + intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply + in other circumstances. + + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any + patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of + any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting + the integrity of the free software distribution system which is + implemented by public license practices. Many people have made + generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed + through that system in reliance on consistent application of that + system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is + willing to distribute software through any other system and a + licensee cannot impose that choice. + + This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed + to be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in + certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, + the original copyright holder who places the Library under this + License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation + excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only + in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this + License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of + this License. + + 13.

You can do so by permitting +redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of +the ordinary General Public License). + + To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. +It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most +effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have +at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is +found. + + ONE LINE TO GIVE THE LIBRARY'S NAME AND AN IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. + Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR + + This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it + under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by + the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at + your option) any later version. + + This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but + WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU + Lesser General Public License for more details. + + You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public + License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software + Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, + USA. + + Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper +mail. + + You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or +your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, +if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: + + Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library + `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. + + SIGNATURE OF TY COON, 1 April 1990 + Ty Coon, President of Vice + + That's all there is to it! + + +File: gpgrt.info, Node: Copying, Next: Concept Index, Prev: Library Copying, Up: Top + +GNU General Public License +************************** + + Version 2, June 1991 + + Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA + + Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. + +Preamble +======== + +The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to +share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is +intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to +make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public +License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and +to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free +Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General +Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if +you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new +free programs; and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their +rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, +and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, +distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original +authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and +modification follow. + + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a + notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed + under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", + below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the + Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under + copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a + portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or + translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is + included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each + licensee is addressed as "you". + + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are + not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act + of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the + Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on + the Program (independent of having been made by running the + Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. + + 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source + code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you + conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate + copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the + notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any + warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of + this License along with the Program. + + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, + and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange + for a fee. + + 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of + it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and + distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 + above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: + + a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that + in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or + any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to + all third parties under the terms of this License. + + c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display + an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and + a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you + provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the + program under these conditions, and telling the user how to + view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program + itself is interactive but does not normally print such an + announcement, your work based on the Program is not required + to print an announcement.) + + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the + Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate + works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply + to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But + when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a + work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on + the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees + extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part + regardless of who wrote it. + + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or + contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the + intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of + derivative or collective works based on the Program. + + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the + Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a + volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other + work under the scope of this License. + + 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, + under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms + of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the + following: + + a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of + Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for + software interchange; or, + + b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a + medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with + such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + + The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for + making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete + source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, + plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts + used to control compilation and installation of the executable. + However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need + not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source + or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so + on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless + that component itself accompanies the executable. + + If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering + access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent + access to copy the source code from the same place counts as + distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not + compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + + 5. 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. + + 6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not + signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify + or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions + are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. + Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work + based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License + to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, + distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. + + 7. 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. + + 8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent + infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent + issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, + agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this + License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this + License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously + your obligations under this License and any other pertinent + obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the + Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit + royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive + copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you + could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely + from distribution of the Program. + + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable + under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is + intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply + in other circumstances. + + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any + patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of + any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting + the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is + implemented by public license practices. Many people have made + generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed + through that system in reliance on consistent application of that + system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is + willing to distribute software through any other system and a + licensee cannot impose that choice. + + This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed + to be a consequence of the rest of this License. + + 9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in + certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, + the original copyright holder who places the Program under this + License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation + excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only + in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this + License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of + this License. + + 10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new + versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new + versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may + differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. + + Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the + Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to + it and "any later version", you have the option of following the + terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version + published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not + specify a version number of this License, you may choose any + version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. + + 11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free + programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the + author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by + the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software + Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision + will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of + all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing + and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 12. 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. + + 13. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN + WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY + MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE + LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, + INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR + INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF + DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU + OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY + OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN + ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + +How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs +============================================= + +If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest +possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it +free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these +terms. + + To do so, attach the following notices to the program.
