|
|
1. INTRODUCTION *crvdoc-intro*
|
|
|
|
The intention of this project is to provide a C-reference manual that can
|
|
be accessed from within Vim.
|
|
|
|
This project consists of four parts:
|
|
1. crefvim.vim plugin to get access to the C-reference
|
|
2. crefvimdoc.txt documentation of this project
|
|
3. crefvim.txt a C-reference with Vim-tags for navigation
|
|
4. help.vim an extention to the standard syntax highlighting for
|
|
help files (needed and active only for the C-reference
|
|
manual)
|
|
|
|
The C-reference is a reference, it is NOT a tutorial or a guide on how
|
|
to write C-programs. It is a quick reference to the functions and syntax
|
|
of the standard C language.
|
|
|
|
The project CRefVim is released under the GNU General Public License 2
|
|
(GPL 2) or later.
|
|
The documents of the project CRefVim are released under the GNU Free
|
|
Documentation License (GNU FDL) version 1.1 or later.
|
|
For further information on licenses see |crvdoc-copyright|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
2. INSTALLATION *crvdoc-install*
|
|
|
|
CRefVim consists of four files, the script 'crefvim.vim', its
|
|
documentation 'crefvimdoc.txt', the C-reference 'crefvim.txt' and a syntax
|
|
file to extend the standard syntax highlighting for help files called
|
|
'help.vim'.
|
|
|
|
To use the script copy it into your local plugin-directory
|
|
Unix: ~/.vim/plugin
|
|
Windows: c:\vimfiles\plugin
|
|
After starting Vim this script is sourced from their automatically.
|
|
|
|
This script can be customized in your .vimrc, for further information
|
|
see |crvdoc-customization|.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You have to add this documentation and the C-reference to Vim's help
|
|
system. To do this, copy both 'crefvimdoc.txt' and 'crefvim.txt' to
|
|
your local doc-directory:
|
|
Unix: ~/.vim/doc
|
|
Windows: c:\vimfiles\doc
|
|
|
|
Then start Vim and do:
|
|
:helptags ~/.vim/doc (or :helptags c:\vimfiles\doc for Windows)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally the standard help syntax highlighting must be extended, so that
|
|
the C-reference is viewed correctly. To do so, copy the file 'help.vim' to
|
|
your local after/syntax directory:
|
|
Unix: ~/.vim/after/syntax
|
|
Windows: c:\vimfiles\after\syntax
|
|
|
|
This extention of the help syntax file is only active for the C-reference
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's all to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
General Hint: If the console version of Vim is used, the background color
|
|
of Vim and the background color of the console should be the
|
|
same. If so, the control characters used in help-files to do
|
|
some syntax-highlighting are not visible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
3. USAGE *crvdoc-usage*
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to specify a word CRefVim should search for in order
|
|
to view help:
|
|
|
|
<Leader>cr normal mode: get help for word under cursor
|
|
Memory aid cr: (c)-(r)eference
|
|
<Leader>cr visual mode: get help for visually selected text
|
|
Memory aid cr: (c)-(r)eference
|
|
<Leader>cw: prompt for word CRefVim should search for
|
|
Memory aid cw: (c)-reference (w)hat
|
|
<Leader>cc: jump to table of contents of the C-reference manual
|
|
Memory aid cc: (c)-reference (c)ontents
|
|
|
|
Note: by default <Leader> is \, e.g. press \cr to invoke C-reference
|
|
|
|
Note: The best way to search for an operator (++, --, %, ...) is to visually
|
|
select it and press <Leader>cr.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==============================================================================
|
|
4. CUSTOMIZATION *crvdoc-customization*
|
|
|
|
The key-maps used to invoke CRefVim can be customized. To do so set the
|
|
following variables in your .vimrc-file. If they are not set, defaults are
|
|
taken.
|
|
|
|
- <Plug>CRV_CRefVimVisual
|
|
mapping to start search for visually selected text
|
|
default:
|
|
vmap <silent> <unique> <Leader>cr <Plug>CRV_CRefVimVisual
|
|
|
|
- <Plug>CRV_CRefVimNormal
|
|
mapping to start search for text under cursor
|
|
default:
|
|
nmap <silent> <unique> <Leader>cr <Plug>CRV_CRefVimNormal
|
|
|
|
- <Plug>CRV_CRefVimAsk
|
|
mapping to ask for word to search for
|
|
default:
|
|
map <silent> <unique> <Leader>cw <Plug>CRV_CRefVimAsk
|
|
|
|
- <Plug>CRV_CRefVimInvoke
|
|
mapping to let Vim jump to the contents of the C-reference manual
|
|
default:
|
|
map <silent> <unique> <Leader>cc <Plug>CRV_CRefVimInvoke
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
|
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
|
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
|
|
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
|
|
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
|
|
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
|
|
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
|
|
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
|
|
your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
|
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
|
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
|
|
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
|
|
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
|
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
|
|
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
|
|
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
|
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
|
|
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
|
|
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
|
|
rights.
|
|
|
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
|
|
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
|
|
distribute and/or modify the software.
|
|
|
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
|
|
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
|
|
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
|
|
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
|
|
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
|
|
authors' reputations.
|
|
|
|
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
|
|
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
|
|
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
|
|
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
|
|
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
|
|
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
modification follow.
|
|
|
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
|
|
|
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
|
|
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
|
|
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
|
|
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
|
|
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
|
|
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
|
|
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
|
|
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
|
|
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
|
|
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
|
|
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
|
|
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
|
|
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
|
|
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
|
|
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
|
|
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
|
|
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
|
|
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
|
|
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
|
|
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
|
|
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
|
|
along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
|
|
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
|
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
|
|
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
|
|
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
|
|
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
|
|
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
|
|
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
|
|
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
|
|
parties under the terms of this License.
|
|
|
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
|
|
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
|
|
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
|
|
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
|
|
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
|
|
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
|
|
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
|
|
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
|
|
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
|
|
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
|
|
|
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
|
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
|
|
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
|
|
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
|
|
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
|
|
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
|
|
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
|
|
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
|
|
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
|
|
|
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
|
|
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
|
|
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
|
|
collective works based on the Program.
|
|
|
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
|
|
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
|
|
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
|
|
the scope of this License.
|
|
|
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
|
|
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
|
|
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
|
|
|
|
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
|
|
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
|
|
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
|
|
|
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
|
|
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
|
|
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
|
|
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
|
|
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
|
|
customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
|
|
|
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
|
|
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
|
|
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
|
|
received the program in object code or executable form with such
|
|
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
|
|
|
|
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
|
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
|
|
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
|
|
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
|
|
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
|
|
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
|
|
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
|
|
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
|
|
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
|
|
itself accompanies the executable.
|
|
|
|
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
|
|
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
|
|
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
|
|
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
|
|
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
|
|
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
|
|
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
|
|
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
|
|
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
|
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
|
|
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
|
|
parties remain in full compliance.
|
|
|
|
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
|
|
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
|
|
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
|
|
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
|
|
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
|
|
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
|
|
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
|
the Program or works based on it.
|
|
|
|
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
|
|
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
|
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
|
|
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
|
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
|
|
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
|
|
this License.
|
|
|
|
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
|
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
|
|
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
|
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
|
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
|
|
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
|
|
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
|
|
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
|
|
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
|
|
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
|
|
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
|
|
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
|
|
|
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
|
|
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
|
|
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
|
|
circumstances.
|
|
|
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
|
|
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
|
|
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
|
|
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
|
|
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
|
|
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
|
|
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
|
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
|
|
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
|
|
impose that choice.
|
|
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
|
|
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
|
|
|
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
|
|
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
|
|
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
|
|
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
|
|
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
|
|
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
|
|
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
|
|
|
|
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
|
|
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
|
|
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
|
|
address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
|
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
|
|
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
|
|
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
|
|
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
|
Foundation.
|
|
|
|
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
|
|
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
|
|
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
|
|
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
|
|
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
|
|
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY
|
|
|
|
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
|
|
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
|
|
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
|
|
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
|
|
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
|
|
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
|
|
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
|
|
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
|
|
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
|
|
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
|
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
|
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
|
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
|
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
|
|
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
|
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
|
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
|
|
|
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
|
|
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
|
|
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
|
|
(at your option) any later version.
|
|
|
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
|
|
GNU General Public License for more details.
|
|
|
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
|
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
|
|
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
|
|
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
|
|
when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
|
|
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
|
|
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
|
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
|
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
|
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
|
|
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
|
|
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
|
|
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
|
|
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
|
|
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
|
|
|
|
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
|
|

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
|
|
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
|
|
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
|
|
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
|
|
Public License instead of this License.

Version 1.1, March 2000
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 2000 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
0. PREAMBLE
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
|
|
written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
|
|
the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
|
|
modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
|
|
this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
|
|
credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
|
|
modifications made by others.
|
|
|
|
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
|
|
works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
|
|
complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
|
|
license designed for free software.
|
|
|
|
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
|
|
software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
|
|
program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
|
|
software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
|
|
it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
|
|
whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
|
|
principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
|
|
|
|
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
|
|
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
|
|
under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
|
|
such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
|
|
addressed as "you".
|
|
|
|
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
|
|
Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
|
|
modifications and/or translated into another language.
|
|
|
|
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
|
|
the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
|
|
publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
|
|
(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
|
|
within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
|
|
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
|
|
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
|
|
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
|
|
commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
|
|
are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
|
|
that says that the Document is released under this License.
|
|
|
|
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
|
|
as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
|
|
the Document is released under this License.
|
|
|
|
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
|
|
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
|
|
general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
|
|
straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
|
|
pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
|
|
drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
|
|
for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
|
|
to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
|
|
format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
|
|
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
|
|
not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
|
|
|
|
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
|
|
ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
|
|
or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
|
|
HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
|
|
PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
|
|
by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
|
|
processing tools are not generally available, and the
|
|
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
|
|
purposes only.
|
|
|
|
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
|
|
plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
|
|
this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
|
|
formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
|
|
the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
|
|
preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. VERBATIM COPYING
|
|
|
|
You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
|
|
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
|
|
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
|
|
to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
|
|
conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
|
|
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
|
|
copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
|
|
compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
|
|
number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
|
|
|
|
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
|
|
you may publicly display copies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
|
|
|
|
If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
|
|
and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose
|
|
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
|
|
Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
|
|
the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
|
|
you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
|
|
the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
|
|
visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
|
|
Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
|
|
the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
|
|
as verbatim copying in other respects.
|
|
|
|
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
|
|
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
|
|
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
|
|
pages.
|
|
|
|
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
|
|
more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
|
|
copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
|
|
a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
|
|
Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
|
|
general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
|
|
charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
|
|
option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
|
|
distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
|
|
Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
|
|
until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
|
|
copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
|
|
the public.
|
|
|
|
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
|
|
Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
|
|
them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. MODIFICATIONS
|
|
|
|
You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
|
|
the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
|
|
the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
|
|
Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
|
|
and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
|
|
of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
|
|
|
|
A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
|
|
from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
|
|
(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
|
|
of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
|
|
if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
|
|
B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
|
|
responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
|
|
Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
|
|
Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).
|
|
C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
|
|
Modified Version, as the publisher.
|
|
D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
|
|
E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
|
|
adjacent to the other copyright notices.
|
|
F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
|
|
giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
|
|
terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
|
|
G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
|
|
and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
|
|
H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
|
|
I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
|
|
it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
|
|
publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
|
|
there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
|
|
stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
|
|
given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
|
|
Version as stated in the previous sentence.
|
|
J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
|
|
public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
|
|
the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
|
|
it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section.
|
|
You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
|
|
least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
|
|
publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
|
|
K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
|
|
preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
|
|
substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
|
|
and/or dedications given therein.
|
|
L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
|
|
unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
|
|
or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
|
|
M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
|
|
may not be included in the Modified Version.
|
|
N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements"
|
|
or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
|
|
|
|
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
|
|
appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
|
|
copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
|
|
of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
|
|
list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
|
|
These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
|
|
|
|
You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
|
|
nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
|
|
parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
|
|
been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
|
|
standard.
|
|
|
|
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
|
|
passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
|
|
of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
|
|
Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
|
|
through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
|
|
includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
|
|
by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
|
|
you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
|
|
permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
|
|
|
|
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
|
|
give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
|
|
imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
|
|
|
|
You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
|
|
License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
|
|
versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
|
|
Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
|
|
list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
|
|
license notice.
|
|
|
|
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
|
|
multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
|
|
copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
|
|
different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
|
|
adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
|
|
author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
|
|
Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
|
|
Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
|
|
|
|
In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
|
|
in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
|
|
"History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
|
|
and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
|
|
entitled "Endorsements."
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
|
|
|
|
You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
|
|
released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
|
|
License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
|
|
the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
|
|
verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
|
|
|
|
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
|
|
it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
|
|
License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
|
|
other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
|
|
|
|
A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
|
|
and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
|
|
distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
|
|
of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
|
|
compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
|
|
License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
|
|
with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
|
|
are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
|
|
|
|
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
|
|
copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
|
|
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
|
|
covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate.
|
|
Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. TRANSLATION
|
|
|
|
Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
|
|
distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
|
|
Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
|
|
permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
|
|
translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
|
|
original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
|
|
translation of this License provided that you also include the
|
|
original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
|
|
between the translation and the original English version of this
|
|
License, the original English version will prevail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. TERMINATION
|
|
|
|
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
|
|
as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
|
|
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
|
|
of the GNU Free Documentation 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. See
|
|
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
|
|
|
|
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
|
|
If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this

Version 2.1, February 1999
|
|

|
|
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. 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 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 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. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
|
|
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
|
|
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
|
|
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
|
|
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
|
|
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
|
|
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
|

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
|
|
|
|
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
|
|
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
|
|
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
|
|
ordinary General Public License).
|
|
|
|
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
|
|
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
|
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
|
|
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
|
|
|
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
|
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
|

|
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
|
|
modify it under the terms of the GNU 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
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
|
|

|
|
|
|
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:
|
|

Appendix C.4 Free Software Needs Free Documentation *crvdoc-licFreeDoc*
|
|
|
|
|
|
The biggest deficiency in the free software community today is not in the
|
|
software - it is the lack of good free documentation that we can include with
|
|
the free software. Many of our most important programs do not come with free
|
|
reference manuals and free introductory texts. Documentation is an essential
|
|
part of any software package; when an important free software package does not
|
|
come with a free manual and a free tutorial, that is a major gap. We have many
|
|
such gaps today.
|
|
|
|
Consider Perl, for instance. The tutorial manuals that people normally use are
|
|
non-free. How did this come about? Because the authors of those manuals
|
|
published them with restrictive terms - no copying, no modification, source
|
|
files not available - which exclude them from the free software world.
|
|
|
|
That wasn't the first time this sort of thing happened, and it was far from
|
|
the last. Many times we have heard a GNU user eagerly describe a manual that
|
|
he is writing, his intended contribution to the community, only to learn that
|
|
he had ruined everything by signing a publication contract to make it
|
|
non-free.
|
|
|
|
Free documentation, like free software, is a matter of freedom, not price. The
|
|
problem with the non-free manual is not that publishers charge a price for
|
|
printed copies - that in itself is fine. (The Free Software Foundation sells
|
|
printed copies of manuals, too.) The problem is the restrictions on the use of
|
|
the manual. Free manuals are available in source code form, and give you
|
|
permission to copy and modify. Non-free manuals do not allow this.
|
|
|
|
The criteria of freedom for a free manual are roughly the same as for free
|
|
software. Redistribution (including the normal kinds of commercial
|
|
redistribution) must be permitted, so that the manual can accompany every copy
|
|
of the program, both on-line and on paper.
|
|
|
|
Permission for modification of the technical content is crucial too. When
|
|
people modify the software, adding or changing features, if they are
|
|
conscientious they will change the manual too - so they can provide accurate
|
|
and clear documentation for the modified program. A manual that leaves you no
|
|
choice but to write a new manual to document a changed version of the program
|
|
is not really available to our community.
|
|
|
|
Some kinds of limits on the way modification is handled are acceptable. For
|
|
example, requirements to preserve the original author's copyright notice, the
|
|
distribution terms, or the list of authors, are ok. It is also no problem to
|
|
require modified versions to include notice that they were modified. Even
|
|
entire sections that may not be deleted or changed are acceptable, as long as
|
|
they deal with nontechnical topics (like this one). These kinds of
|
|
restrictions are acceptable because they don't obstruct the community's normal
|
|
use of the manual.
|
|
|
|
However, it must be possible to modify all the technical content of the
|
|
manual, and then distribute the result in all the usual media, through all the
|
|
usual channels. Otherwise, the restrictions obstruct the use of the manual, it
|
|
is not free, and we need another manual to replace it.
|
|
|
|
Please spread the word about this issue. Our community continues to lose
|
|
manuals to proprietary publishing. If we spread the word that free software
|
|
needs free reference manuals and free tutorials, perhaps the next person who
|
|
wants to contribute by writing documentation will realize, before it is too
|
|
late, that only free manuals contribute to the free software community.
|
|
|
|
If you are writing documentation, please insist on publishing it under the
|
|
GNU Free Documentation License or another free documentation license. Remember
|
|
that this decision requires your approval - you don't have to let the
|
|
publisher decide. Some commercial publishers will use a free license if you
|
|
insist, but they will not propose the option; it is up to you to raise the
|
|
issue and say firmly that this is what you want. If the publisher you are
|
|
dealing with refuses, please try other publishers. If you're not sure whether
|
|
a proposed license is free, write to licensing@gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
You can encourage commercial publishers to sell more free, copylefted manuals
|
|
and tutorials by buying them, and particularly by buying copies from the
|
|
publishers that paid for their writing or for major improvements. Meanwhile,
|
|
try to avoid buying non-free documentation at all. Check the distribution
|
|
terms of a manual before you buy it, and insist that whoever seeks your
|
|
business must respect your freedom. Check the history of the book, and try
|
|
reward the publishers that have paid or pay the authors to work on it.
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of free documentation published
|
|
by other publishers, at <http://www.fsf.org/doc/other-free-books.html>.
