1 Introduction
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
This package makes the C formatted output routines ('fprintf' et al.)
|
|
usable in C++ programs, for use with the '<string>' strings and the
|
|
'<iostream>' streams.
|
|
|
|
It allows to write code like
|
|
|
|
cerr << autosprintf ("syntax error in %s:%d: %s", filename, line, errstring);
|
|
|
|
instead of
|
|
|
|
cerr << "syntax error in " << filename << ":" << line << ": " << errstring;
|
|
|
|
The benefits of the autosprintf syntax are:
|
|
|
|
* It reuses the standard POSIX printf facility. Easy migration from
|
|
C to C++.
|
|
|
|
* English sentences are kept together.
|
|
|
|
* It makes internationalization possible. Internationalization
|
|
requires format strings, because in some cases the translator needs
|
|
to change the order of a sentence, and more generally it is easier
|
|
for the translator to work with a single string for a sentence than
|
|
with multiple string pieces.
|
|
|
|
* It reduces the risk of programming errors due to forgotten state in
|
|
the output stream (e.g. 'cout << hex;' not followed by 'cout <<
|
|
dec;').

|
2 The 'autosprintf' class
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
An instance of class 'autosprintf' just contains a string with the
|
|
formatted output result. Such an instance is usually allocated as an
|
|
automatic storage variable, i.e. on the stack, not with 'new' on the
|
|
heap.
|
|
|
|
The constructor 'autosprintf (const char *format, ...)' takes a
|
|
format string and additional arguments, like the C function 'printf'.
|
|
|
|
Conversions to 'char *' and 'std::string' are defined that return the
|
|
encapsulated string. The conversion to 'char *' returns a freshly
|
|
allocated copy of the encapsulated string; it needs to be freed using
|
|
'delete[]'. The conversion to 'std::string' returns a copy of the
|
|
encapsulated string, with automatic memory management.
|
|
|
|
The destructor '~autosprintf ()' destroys the encapsulated string.
|
|
|
|
An 'operator <<' is provided that outputs the encapsulated string to
|
|
the given 'ostream'.

3 Using 'autosprintf' in own programs
|
|
*************************************
|
|
|
|
To use the 'autosprintf' class in your programs, you need to add
|
|
|
|
#include "autosprintf.h"
|
|
using gnu::autosprintf;
|
|
|
|
to your source code. The include file defines the class 'autosprintf',
|
|
in a namespace called 'gnu'. The 'using' statement makes it possible to
|
|
use the class without the (otherwise natural) 'gnu::' prefix.
|
|
|
|
When linking your program, you need to link with 'libasprintf',
|
|
because that's where the class is defined. In projects using GNU
|
|
'autoconf', this means adding 'AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([asprintf])' to
|
|
'configure.in' or 'configure.ac', and using the @LIBASPRINTF@ Makefile
|
|
variable that it provides.

A.1 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
Version 2.1, February 1999
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
[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--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.
|
|
|
|
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 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not
|
|
specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever
|
|
published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
|
|
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
|
|
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
|
|
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
|
|
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "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 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE
|
|
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
|
|
OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
16. 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 LIBRARY 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 LIBRARY (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 LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY
|
|
OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
|
|
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

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 AN IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.

A.2 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
Version 2, June 1991
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
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 Lesser General Public
|
|
License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
|
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
|
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
|
|
you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
|
|
free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
|
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to 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
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
|
|
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.

Appendix: 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) YYYY 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., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, 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

applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the

Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
0. PREAMBLE
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
|
|
functional and useful 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, in any medium,
|
|
that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can
|
|
be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
|
|
grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
|
|
to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
|
|
"Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
|
|
of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept
|
|
the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
|
|
requiring permission under copyright law.
|
|
|
|
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. (Thus, 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.
|
|
If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
|
|
is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may
|
|
contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify
|
|
any Invariant Sections then there are none.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
|
|
be at most 25 words.
|
|
|
|
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
|
|
represented in a format whose specification is available to the
|
|
general public, that is suitable for revising the document
|
|
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, or absence of markup, has
|
|
been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
|
|
readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if
|
|
used for any substantial amount of text. 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, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
|
|
Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
|
|
Opaque formats include 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, PostScript or PDF 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.
|
|
|
|
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
|
|
whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
|
|
following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
|
|
stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
|
|
"Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
|
|
To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
|
|
Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
|
|
to this definition.
|
|
|
|
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
|
|
which states that this License applies to the Document. These
|
|
Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
|
|
this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
|
|
implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
|
|
has no effect on the meaning of this License.
|
|
|
|
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 (or copies in media that commonly
|
|
have printed covers) 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 computer-network location from which the general
|
|
network-using public has access to download using public-standard
|
|
network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free
|
|
of added material. 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 fewer than five), unless they release you
|
|
from this requirement.
|
|
|
|
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", Preserve 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. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
|
|
Preserve the Title of the section, 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 to be Entitled
|
|
"Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
|
|
Section.
|
|
|
|
O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
|
|
|
|
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, and that you preserve all
|
|
their Warranty Disclaimers.
|
|
|
|
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, is called an "aggregate" if the
|
|
copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
|
|
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
|
|
works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
|
|
License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
|
|
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 half
|
|
of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
|
|
on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
|
|
electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
|
|
form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
|
|
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, and all the license notices in the
|
|
Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
|
|
include the original English version of this License and the
|
|
original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
|
|
disagreement between the translation and the original version of
|
|
this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
|
|
prevail.

ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
|
|
the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
|
|
notices just after the title page:
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
|
|
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
|
|
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
|
|
or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
|
|
with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
|
|
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
|
|
Free Documentation License''.
|
|
|
|
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
|
|
Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
|
|
|
|
with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
|
|
the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
|
|
being LIST.
|
|
|
|
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
|
|
combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
|
|
situation.
|
|
|
|
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
|
|
recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
|
|
software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
|
|
their use in free software.
