8.2 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not

allowed.

This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates the terms and conditions of version 3 of the

GNU General Public License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.

0. Additional Definitions.

As used herein, “this License” refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser General Public License, and the “GNU GPL”

refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

“The Library” refers to a covered work governed by this License, other than an Application or a Combined Work

as defined below.

An “Application” is any work that makes use of an interface provided by the Library, but which is not otherwise

based on the Library. Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode of using an interface
provided by the Library.

A “Combined Work” is a work produced by combining or linking an Application with the Library. The particular

version of the Library with which the Combined Work was made is also called the “Linked Version”.

The “Minimal Corresponding Source” for a Combined Work means the Corresponding Source for the Combined

Work, excluding any source code for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are based on the
Application, and not on the Linked Version.

The “Corresponding Application Code” for a Combined Work means the object code and/or source code for

the Application, including any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License without being bound by section 3 of the

GNU GPL.

2. Conveying Modified Versions.

If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a facility refers to a function or data to be supplied

by an Application that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked), then you
may convey a copy of the modified version:
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an Application does

not supply the function or data, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful, or

b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of this License applicable to that copy.

3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from a header file that is part of the Library. You

may convey such object code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated material is not limited
to numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates (ten
or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its

use are covered by this License.

b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license document.
